re: #177 Stanley Sea

Alveda has dismissed her late aunt Coretta Scott King’s position that MLK would have supported marriage equality by saying, “I’ve got his DNA. She doesn’t.”

carry on.

What I find interesting, is some of the mockery of Ms. King’s spiritual language that I have been seeing. Sort of making fun of some of her choice of words and phrases. That bothers me, considering that the sort of evangelical liturgical rhetoric that Ms. King was using (and probably uses regularly) is very much the language of millions of black in their churches every Sunday. I know if I were to make fun of a African-American in regards to their manor of worship, all hell would break loose.

Just because Ms. King opted to stand on the platform at this rally and speak, suddenly she is open season for mocking her spirituality.
