Dr. Bernice King tells Joy Reid, ‘Do not take excerpts from my father. Study him holistically… For people to misappropriate him this way is beyond insulting.’

The mere ignorance on this comment page is overwhelmingly breath taking.
As I was saying how Prophetic Dr King was when he noticed the signs of racism rising back in the 1960s. I’m sure he wouldn’t be surprised by what’s happening today.

Republicans use everyone and
everything that they do not
understand as a weapon on those
that they do not want to understand .
The United States of America have many recordings from paper documents and videos of racial segregation…The USA cannot coverup their racism.
What is the character of a white supremacist? So we will judge them based on that.
Great interview!!!
Tell it! Cherry picking at its finest smh. I’m loving Joy’s hair and makeup in this, and that purple is beautiful on Dr. King.
Love this Segment….Both of these Women are Black Excellence….and they are Beautiful on top of Intelligent….More More…Bravo….
IT’S HISTORY STUPID: An opportunity to learn and grow. Knowing your history helps to stop you making the same mistakes again. Education can help you re-evaluate your attitudes and gives you a vehicle to challenge those attitudes and make changes in your life. Don’t let ‘fear and loathing’ blindside your mind.
It’s funny how they use Dr King quotes when they THINK it benefits them, when in actuality it makes them look like idiots and hypocrites.
Just Republicans by the content of their character. Not the colour of their skin.
The clips of these ignorant politicians reciting the same sentence in Dr. King’s speech for the purpose of gaslighting the nation, shows that they come from a place where people like Dr. King would have been unwelcome and everything in their power would have been done to extinguish his mission.
If I was wrong, I believe he would have been here to watch his children grow into adulthood, carve out their own place of purpose, had more anniversaries to share with his wife.
I could go on, but we already know what happened.
Josh Holly is a joke along with Kevin McCarthy and the rest of the republican party the only problem is these freaks follow these people and continue to vote them in.
Wow. Bernice King looks so much like both of her parents.
She is beautiful.
She is both elegant and intelligent.
I know they are so proud.
thats like nazi quoting a jew
Not to mention that the same type of people assassinated him.
Dr. King was a GREAT AMERICA, the way the G.Q.P. is Spinning his words is discussing. Just one more reason I left the Republican Party after 45 years. I will now Vote Blue until every one of them is out of Office.
Porblem is both right and wrong. MLK was nuanced as were the people he followed (Jesus, Ghandi, Thoreau, …).
