As civil rights leaders and activists gather at sites across the country to celebrate the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., the slain civil rights leader’s daughter is encouraging Americans to fight for his vision of love and justice “no matter who is in the White House.”

Bernice King addressed more than 2,000 people gathered at her father’s Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta four days before President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration. She spoke hours before her brother, Martin Luther King III, is scheduled to meet with the president-elect at Trump Tower in New York.

While Bernice King did not offer a detailed critique of Trump, who remains unpopular among black Americans, she said the nation still has a choice between “chaos and community,” the same dichotomy her father wrote and preached about.

“At the end of the day, the Donald Trumps come and go,” Bernice King said. But, she added “we still have to find a way to create” what her father called “the beloved community.” …

So is she saying to fight obama since we are constantly reminded that obama is still the President and trump is not going to ever be legitimate according to so called civil rights leaders?... Probably not , but illustrates how language used on the left can mean anything they want it to, and the rest of us they will call are racist or stupid to not know their implied meanings as opposed to common and literal evidence to the contrary .

By all means, keep on fighting, but...
This is not the kind of fight you win by making more enemies.
MLK followers already have a very large number of White sympathizers, while 0bama, Sharpton and other race baiters are apparently working to bring that number down.

Like John Lewis, the King family has made a good life long living in the fake outrage business.
