Denigrates Lincoln,,,LINCOLN IS SEATED while MLK is standing tall. Of course the media won`t ridicule her,,,she is protected by her "skin of color."

Now imagine if Bachmann or Palin had said this...

BERNICE KING: "But as I close, I close with the recognition that daddy is standing, Lincoln is seated. Lincoln remembered for signing the Declaration of Independence.

Bernice, honey, your daddy deserved better.

This reminds me of that funny speech that high school girl gave on, “Malcolm the Tenth” a few years ago.

Statement: "..... 'Lincoln Remembered for Signing the Declaration of Independence'

Response: Yep!

[DesertSapper]

Wow, were my U.S. History textbooks wrong or what???

[Tanniker Smith]

Must we? Really?

It's obvious she meant the Emancipation Proclamation and just misspoke (unless I'm wrong and it was up on a teleprompter or something).

btw, is she the one who says that black need to be pro-life or was that MLK's niece?

You just cannot make this stuff up!

Any way to find out what her income is from whatever it is she does to get paid? using your fathers death to get rich
hardly seems very healing for “racial wounds.”

A sure clue that today’s people do not really know U.S. history. Their logic is lacking in knowledge.

I think her problem is that she doesn’t really know the Declaration of Independence. Years ago we all had to memorize that and Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, plus the Preamble to the Constitution.

I actually think that her thinking process was something like this: The slaves were freed by Lincoln, thus he declared them to be free and independent, therefore Lincoln passed the Declaration of Independence! I am certain that the words Emancipation Proclamation are totally foreign to her.
