Alveda: Why did people vote for Barack Obama?

[jackofclubz]

THis woman talks about family values but she is 3x divorced. Velveeta needs to blow Glenn Beck and STFU!!!!

[Poochalot]

@jackofclubz Alveda is full of shit, she preaches love and practices hate. She actually has the balls to call herself a civil rights leader. You can't call yourself a civil rights leader and openly support anti-gay hate groups like NOM and the Ruth Institute. What really makes me laugh is that she supports the Ruth Institute, which is an anti-gay WHITE SUPREMIST hate group.

[T2P2T1]

@Poochalot

She speaks the truth from the Holy Bible, your thinking is from dark side...

[Poochalot]

@T2P2T1 The Bible was written by bronze-aged cavemen during a time when everyone thought that the flat earth stood still at the center of the universe. That is the only truth about the Bible.

[TheCaliCapitalist]

This woman is a liar and calling MLK a republican just to further her own agenda is spitting on all the black people that marched. It would take an awful lot for me to vote for a republican.

[jebeja]

King family issues aside, I get the feeling most voted for Obama perhaps because they thought he really was going to bring about 'change', just not the change we've been seeing I guess.

[MGR1900]

I couldn't think of any woman alive today who is a greater threat to the progressive movement in America.

[allenwood100]

@MGR1900  MLK WOULD HAVE BEEN ASHAMED OF HER - AS AM I AND MILLIONS OF OTHER BLACK AMERICANS

[MGR1900]

@allenwood100 Ashamed about what? Did you speak to him personally?

[allenwood100]

@MGR1900 I mean about her claiming MLK was a republican and kissing conservative asses

[MGR1900]

@allenwood100 But MLK was a Republican.

[peacefulvines]

I do rarely, if ever, listen to Glenn Beck. You say that MLK jr was a liberal because he was "anti-war"...hmmm, I am anti-war as well, as are many, many conservatives. Social JUSTICE? The greatest destroyer of life is abortion. Almost 1/2 of all African American babies are killed before they even have a chance at life....it 1/5th of white babies. This is a travesty perpetrated....this is one of the GREATEST civil rights issues of this time.

[rhibac]

she has no ties to mlk jr....claretta scott king was liberal and so are king jrs children

[Poochalot]

@rhibac She isn't even close to who MLK was, she tries to tell everyone that she's related to him so they will listen to her; however he fought for civil rights for everyone and she's just a hateful women. Alveda King gets no respect from me.

[peacefulvines]

If you think that she is hateful, you obviously did not listen to this statement! Speaking to people in those terms, no matter your claimed "sex," is hateful. She is obviously not speaking that way, you just disagree with the pro-marriage, anti-human right abuses stances she takes. You may call us hateful for wanting to protect and treasure every human life, the most vulnerable, but we know the truth. You prove us right with your hateful speech. I've not said anything hateful. You have.

[EbonyCherryable]

@peacefulvines -NO BODY in the King family speaks to Alveda King she's been CUT OUT of the family for years for lying about Dr.King's legacy.

[peacefulvines]

@EbonyCherryable If you listen to WHAT SHE SAYS, you will see that she isn't hateful. She is good and kind. While Dr. King's WIFE was liberal...and she raised her children liberal...Dr. King was not. Check your history.

[EbonyCherryable]

@peacefulvines- You must be brainwashed by your Lord Glenn Beck NO BODY in the King Family speaks to this Sellout Token Alveda King she's been cut out of the King family for years for lying about Dr.King's legacy and defending White Power racists like Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh.

MLK jr WAS LIBERAL.

1.He was Anti-War.

2.He was Anti-Guns.

3.He was for Social Justice.

4.He supported the Liberal NAACP.

GLENN BECKS FANS ARE MENTALLY RETARDED.

[CRoadwarrior]

@EbonyCherryable Since I have actually read a good portion of the writings of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther KIng, Jr., and seen many of his sermons that most have not seen, I believe I can more accurately say that if he were alive today, he would NOT be "pro-choice," especially since he clearly spoke against the "infanticide" of the Roman empire in his book "Strength to Love." I am ashamed of the rest of the King family EXCEPT for Alveda precisely because she speaks prolife, Biblical truth.

[MGR1900]

@EbonyCherryable You forgot to call her an Uncle Tom. I thought it would have been a conditioned response by now.

[peacefulvines]

The word "bitch" is a sexist title. If you truly are-- as you say, non bigoted-- you should respect EVERYONE, and understand that even if you disrespect their opinions, you should not silene people who disagree with them by calling them "hateful" or "anti-whatever you want to promote." People will disagree with you. This woman does not promote violence or hate.  If you think she does, then you haven't listened to her talk.

[Poochalot]

@peacefulvines Alveda has no respect for me, there's no reason for me to respect her. We're not talking about opinions here, this is a civil rights issue. As long as she stands against civil rights I will fight her. I use the term bitch because to me that's what she is, and don't try to play the sexist card with me. I am a woman and a very modern one at that. You and I obviously don't agree on this so you keep defending this hateful woman, there's no reason to keep talking. Goodbye

[Poochalot]

This fat bitch keeps dragging the name MLK into her hateful intollerant KKKonservative horseshti and it's PATHETIC! She needs to learn a few things about tollerance and acceptance, until then she should shut her damn pie hole!

[peacefulvines]

@Poochalot Wow, shall we say intolerance and discrimination? On weight...and on ideology. Your statements are hateful and angry. You are the same type of person who would have persecuted MLK and her father (who were both murdered in the same month) and other civil rights workers for their outward appearance and their ideology. Intolerant people, such as yourself, damage your movement.

[Poochalot]

@peacefulvines You have no right to judge me, so don't give me any judgmental horseshit, chances are you live in a house of glass so I wouldn't suggest you throw stones at me. This woman is a horrible person and yes I will rip into her because she is spreading hate, and it's that same hate that is killing so many homosexuals. You read a few lines by me and decide that I'm intolerant? Who gave you the right to judge me? Do you care about he thousands of people who she has hurt?

[peacefulvines]

@Poochalot All I am doing is defending a woman you call "fat bitch" and her mouth a "damn piehole"... for her sex, her race, her relations, and her view on protecting marriage and children. I am not judging you, only saying that your words fall into alignment with every other racist and bigoted person out there. Did you even listen to this? She says NOT to fight, but to love and be a shining light to those, such as yourself, who are making bigoted and sexist comments.

[Poochalot]

@peacefulvines I never said a thing about her sex or her race so don't put words in my mouth. She had the audacity to say that gay marriage isn't a civil rights issue when it is Protecting marriage from what? I'm a woman married to a man and I can tell you that gay marriages have done nothing to my heterosexual marriage. She knows nothing about love, she is also a known public supporter of an anti-gay hate group, so you keep defending this hateful woman, there's no reason to keep talking.

[peacefulvines]

Thank you, brave friend! 

[hhsgrad1988]

Who the hell is she to be speaking for MLK? This woman is nothing but a NIECE, a distant relative! No one has more credibility and can speak for MLK than his CHILDREN! Her word doesn't mean shit! His children Bernice, MLKIII, and Dexter should turn their backs on her and disown her, since she aligns herself with the likes of Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin!

[peacefulvines]

@hhsgrad1988 So you want to oppress those with different viewpoints? Being the niece of MLK should not be a reason that she shouldn't speak out, or notify people of what her Uncle and father spoke to her of and believed? (They were both ministers who worked together, and were murdered in the same month for their belief in the value of every human soul.) A little closed-minded, if you ask me.

[curlybobz]

People voted for Obama because he successfully presented a vague vision of utopia. We constantly heard allusions to hope, change and a new "paradigm". People were going around saying things like "I'm voting for Obama because then I won't have to worry about paying my mortgage and paying for health insurance." Well redistribution of wealth is not a new paradigm. its been used to fuck up economies all over the world.

[Poochalot]

I didn't vote for him based on race, I wanted someone who would be an improvement over Bigot Bush.

[Poochalot]

You want to know why I voted for him bitch? I wanted a man with a brian for President, I had 8 years of a brainless goon with Dubya so I thought I'd try someone who could pronounce the word nuclear.

[tootsie173sc]

@Poochalot So now you have a President with a "brian"'.

How many people do you think also voted for a President ith a "brian"?

[Poochalot]

@tootsie173sc Ok so you're trying to bash me with a type-o? Very mature of you.

[tootsie173sc]

@Poochalot Yep ;)

[Ohsonatural2010]

I disagree with the assertion that black people voted solely for Obama because of his race or because we are broken. It’s somewhat insulting. I believe that people voted for Obama because he was overall the best choice. My spirit isn’t broken/oppressed; & my ears, I might add, listen intently to the voice of God, & men/women of God. Ultimately, I believe spiritual matters are for believers to address spiritually. The government doesn’t have the capacity to handle such matters.

[Ohsonatural2010]

@Ohsonatural2010 What I do expect, is that the government will look out the common welfare of the nation and not a selected few. This what Obama promised & is working to accomplish, which why I voted for him. As believers we should live Godly lives, wherein I believe is a great issue. We are fighting against same sex marriages when often times we can’t even handle staying with our own.

[Baibaren05]

This woman is a true beauty...she glows from within as she manifests the spirit of truth in her. I had never heard her before, wow, she's something else!

[kolddream14]

this was an attempt to mock the civil rights movement, i just wish sharpton and the rest of the media wouldn't have given it the attention. its ridiculous. most teapartiers i know think dr. king was unamerican

[kolddream14]

@meboswell1 exactly she is just a tool and she knows it..most of the same teabaggers and people on the stage with here stand in direct contradiction to what dr. king stood for...i would venture to say these are the same people or type of people that said dr. king was a communist and unpatriotic..

[vechorik]

You are a brave woman in always speaking the truth (and studying to know the truth). I admire your courage in speaking out against abortion. I also admire how you try to unite people of color. Continue your good work! Your speech at the Restoring Honor rally was very inspirational!

[salbella50]

WHAT THE FUCK DOES ABORTION AND GAY RIGHTS GOT TO DO WITH LIVING YOUR OWN FUCKING LIVES.....YOU KOOKS NEEDS TO BE LOCK THE FUCK UP....i'LL VOTE PRESIDENT OBAMA IN OFFICE AGAIN..YOU IGNORANT ASS NIGGERS OUT THERE TALKING LIKE THESE WHITE PEOPLE LIKE YOUR DUMB ASSES...THEY ARE USEING YOU TO TALK ABOUT BLACKS...SO THEY DON'T LOOK LIKE THE RACIST THAT THEY ARE....YOU STUPID BITCH...

[bella50008]

I love Alveda King! She is a brave and brilliant soldier and I support her.

Rock on Dr. King!!!

[meboswell1]

an honorary doctorate does not give you a right to call yourself doctor

[bella50008]

@meboswell1 .. uh ..yes it does.

[MsAmericanChristian]

Alveda, thank you! I have not been racist, but Ihave to say that Ihave not understood fully of all that the black people have endured. My future thoughts will be guided by this knowledge. God bless you! What a beautiful woman you are!

[rashadkijani]

@MsAmericanChristian Why is abortion a race issue if you believe in God! Is God only mad when blacks get abortions? Why just focus on black abortions if this is not a race issue but a religious principle issue?

[MsAmericanChristian]

@rashadkijani You are not making sense to me. What are you talking about? I believe that murder is murder...regardless of race, so what are you talking about? Not responding to anything that I said, that's for sure. You are confusing me with somebody else, for sure.

[rashadkijani]

@MsAmericanChristian "Alveda, thank you! I have not been racist, but Ihave to say that Ihave not understood fully of all that the black people have endured. My future thoughts will be guided by this knowledge. God bless you! What a beautiful woman you are!"

Why do you think abortion is a race issue? I dont understand alveda or any 1 else like you when you keep only focusing on black abortions. You mentioned God. Well dont you think God is concerned about the white abortions too?

[MsAmericanChristian]

@rashadkijani I STILL don't know what on earth you are talking about??? You have responded to me yet again, bringing out all this stuff that I have not said at all. Nothing even near it. What is your gripe? Where is it coming from? Do you just need somebody to disagree with? Will you do me a BIG FAVOR and bug somebody else, because you clearly are not talking about anything that I ever said. Stop it! Don't bug me any longer with this nonsense! Ok?

[mrjames84]

@MsAmericanChristian

Good job MsAmericanChristian, and obviously liberal youtube and gay google are not going to give your comments any "likes" because both companies are full of anti-Christian bigots anyway. Let God be true and every man a liar.

[CuteHabeshaGirl]

Yeah,,

Nearly 100,000 civilians killed in Iraq and you bank your choice on who not supports  Abortion and gay rights. It is people like you that are bringing America down. Good think you are not the majority.

[ProfKaos33]

Way to disgrace your uncle. You oppose the rights of gay people and think you have the right to overturn a woman's difficult decision. You joined Glenn Beck on the anniversary of your uncle's speech to oppose the first black president. You hide behind a bible and think that makes you a moral person? Nothing could be further from the truth. You are slime for using your uncle's name to squash his dream.

[bella50008]

@ProfKaos33 ... Her first alliance is with God and truth. Her uncle was just a man. A brilliant, wonderful, exceptional man. But a man nonetheless.

[rashadkijani]

@bella50008 I agree her uncle is a man but her belief in God isnt what she relies on for publicity. Her constant invoking of her uncle is what she uses to bring attention to herself.

[kolddream14]

@bella50008 no her first alliance is with money.

[EphesianRose]

God bless you Dr. Alveda King. The same Holy Spirit who was at work in your uncle is most definitely at work in you.

[rhibac]

@EphesianRose

they are not cut from the same cloth and king had socialist views

[jabron1973]

i can't believe that this woman is an aunt jemima....very sad

[Jesusfemme]

Thanks, so much, Dr. King, for being faithful to tell the truth. I did not vote for Barack Obama, however, I know many African Americans who did. It was a sad time, and we are paying dearly for that choice.

[murda9779]

I will nevere understand black people..you went on Glenn Beck smile in that man face every since PREZ B.O. been in office you,fox..and the rest of the right wing been attacking him..oh yea i forgot you're ms perfect living off your uncle name..a lot of you hate your on race..tea party is racists yet you and stephen the phony broden defend them..43 white presidents before him all of a sudden,you,stephen broden,alan keys,phillip manning have something to say..the young people we will reelect him

[pantera2012]

@murda9779: Do you truly believe that everyone who associates with the tea parties is a racist?

[rashadkijani]

@Jesusfemme How can you admire Alveda the hypocrite King? she is the the one who got pregnant twice to men she was not married to and had abortions. Yet she is criticizing barack and michelle obama who both had raging hormones like she did but had the moral character to wait and till they were financially stable and married to have their children. Why is it more important to people like you for blacks to vote their supposedly values but not actually live it?

[GAredneck132]

@rashadkijani You don't know what a hypocrite is. A hypocrite says, "Do as I say, not as I do." That's not what Alveda King is saying. She's saying, "Do as I do now, not as I DID THEN." Huge difference.

[rashadkijani]

@GAredneck132 Well the Barack and Michelle arent aborting their children now or then. so they are still better examples than her.

[GAredneck132]

@rashadkijani Oh, but they're promoting abortion and refusing to recognize it as wrong. Alveda King had an abortion but then realized that what she did was wrong, and she doesn't want anyone else to make the same mistakes she made. And as the Bible says (sorry, I can't remember book, chapter, or verse), "Woe to those who call good evil and evil good!" That would describe the Obamas to a T.

[rashadkijani]

@GAredneck132 How is Obama promoting abortion and Alveda didnt have an abortion and recognize it was wrong. She had an abortion then had another abortion now that i guess she doesnt need their services she thinks it is wrong and wants to take the same choice away from others.

[wesaved101]

@rashadkijani are u serious this sell out had 2 abortions ? the DEVIL love to quote the bible dont he ? She got that big o fake sell out smile.Using her uncles name to make money callin herself Dr King.I call her a sell because she stood with Glenn Beck instead of Al Sharpton.Beck is another media whore making money off white peoples fears.We voted for Obama because it was the right thing to do not because we were broken..lol wat a sell out.

[rashadkijani]

@wesaved101 Yep she had 2 abortions not just 1. and I agree she seems to be the 1 most in the news. she even had the nerve to basically call coretta his wife a liar. Coretta Scott king was an open advocate of gay marriage cuz she saw it as a civil rights issue herself. And MLK III their son is also on record as some 1 who thinks it is Okay for beck to have his rally but thinks beck rally didstorts and is opposite of what his father stood for.

[bella50008]

@rashadkijani... how is the rally opposite of what MLK stood for? He stood for equality and freedom and rights for people, this administration is bent on taking that away.

[rashadkijani]

@bella50008 How is Obama taking away equality? what equality has he taken from you? What freedom's have you lost?

[rashadkijani]

@wesaved101 And what is also sad is people I dont think really know who democratic congressman john lewis really is. He was a close personal friend of MLK. And a co leader of the civil rights movement. He marched literrally hand and hand with MLK had hoses turned on him and even was thrown in jail for marching like MLK. And people also dont know that there were people besides MLK that gave speeches like MLK that day on the very same steps but wasnt as well noted as MLK. one which was Lewis.

[rashadkijani]

@wesaved101 The same john lewis who was 1 of the "Big Six" the Big Six were the leaders of the civil rights movement. which included MLK, Lewis, Whitney Young. A. Philip Randolph. James Farmer and a Roy wilkins. The same John Lewis who Glenn Beck and the teabaggers accuse of being the real racist and liar spit on while he walked to with nancy pelosi to get to his job done for the american people.

[rashadkijani]

@wesaved101 The same John lewis who without a pause forgave a white man who openly admitted to being one of the ones who beat him unconscious during the civil rights movement. Un like palin he didnt talk about reloading and killing people he was willing to shake the man's hand who had unjustly did him harm. Palin whines becuz of verbal criticism yet Lewis faced not only verbal abuse but real life threatening violence.But according to the palin crowd its people like Lewis causing trouble in US.

[wesaved101]

@rashadkijani Sarah Palin is nothin but a media prostitute a well paid whore for who ever got the money.Gleen Beck is on the same agenda a male hooker for pay.They use the media too get rich.Beck the Devil tried to show emotions he dont have fo the people.After Sharpton didnt protest his rally without a permit at the monument he decided to change his topic to GOD an love.But its a shame how fast others fall fo such con games.Ms King didnt suprise me after hearing her speak.

[rashadkijani]

@wesaved101 Yep according to the palin crowd people like Lewis doesnt have a clue as to what the civil rights movement was really about despite the fact he was one of the authors. The only miracle that happened yesterday was how did Beck pull off such a hijacked armed robbery in broad daylight with all those people watching and they not see it?

[rashadkijani]

@Jesusfemme I would think you would respect people like the obama family that actually is livng a moral family life and not people like alveda here who is running around telling others to do things that she didnt do herself.

[Airborne80]

I was with you right up to the point where you sold blacks the age old excuse to fail.... that they are victims of slavery. Really? They have benefited from the terrible act of slavery that their DISTANT relatives endured. Because of that ancient wrong, blacks you now live in the land that affords blacks the greatest opportunity on earth. Stop using others experiences as a ticket for failure! Demand success, not free passes! You should be ashamed of yourself!

[getDun2012]

@Airborne80 why do devils tell us how to act and feel i thought this was the land of the free why dont u tell the natives that instead of us

[inlovewithlife2010]

you are amazing Dr. King! keep up the good work :)
