If I can sort through your verbiage to get to the point, you seem to be saying that this all started from the MLK controversy and therefore everything after that fact - even something as blatant as "Hillary didn't cry over Katrina" or "Hillary doesn't respect Latinos" - is completely excusable because Hillary started it.

Without bothering to get into that further, let me break down the MLK controversy as I remember it.

Hillary said in clear reference to Obama, at the NH debate, that "we don't need to be raising the false hopes of our country about what can be delivered."  That was kind of a harsh remark and she was panned for it.

Obama decided to try and capitalize on it by ridiculing the notion of "false hopes" in his stump speech the next day.  "Dr. King standing on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. 'You know, this dream thing, it's a false hope. We can't expect equality.'"

I think it was fair game in a political sense for Obama to make that argument, but I do find it a bit presumptuous for him to assume the mantle of MLK in that manner.  It's like he's saying, if you accuse Barack Obama of raising false hopes, you're accusing MLK of raising false hopes too.

Be that as it may, Hillary was then asked about Obama's line, and she made her comments about how it took a President to get it done, yadda yadda.  Having read her comments a million times, it comes across as nothing more than clumsy.  The idea that she consciously decided, as a matter of strategy to denigrate MLK's legacy is just nuts.  I believe she was trying to make the point that it takes both inspiration and political action to achieve results, and it came out badly.

Be that as it may, there's no doubt in my mind that the Obama campaign rushed to gin up the controversy as fast and as furiously as possible.  They played it for all it was worth, they didn't try to give Hillary the benefit of the doubt, there's no question that they relished the notion that black folks were getting upset because Hillary had supposedly insulted MLK.

The Obama campaign could have made a choice to try to dampen down the racial nature of the controversy, to avoid letting it come to a boil, but instead they decided to escalate matters.  It was only two days later that Jesse Jackson Jr. made his offensive "Katrina" remarks on national TV.  It's hard for me to see how the Obama campaign didn't try to exploit the controversy for everything it was worth.

Even after a "truce" was supposedly declared at the Las Vegas debate, the Obama campaign flat-out refused to condemn an ad from their supporters which claimed that Hillary didn't respect Latinos.   Just like everything that had taken place previously, that is not the act of a campaign doing all that it can to avoid race-related controversies.

That's my take on the whole situation.  Both sides are most certainly to blame, and there's no doubt that the Obama campaign contributed to the escalation of the whole dispute.  If you want to compare me to the Nazis for taking a measured view of the situation, fine, but I won't be speaking to you again if that's the case.
