The King kids are wild’n out

Civil rights Dreamer, Martin Luther King Jr., might never have dreamed this: His adult children embroiled in a messy lawsuit with whom? Each other.
I have to admit, this was a touchy subject to write about, because I felt King himself was sitting next to me shaking his head. And to make matters worse, a small postcard with his portrait sits ominously on my wall.
I wonder what Dr. King would say. For all the black people who think Martin should replace the Holy Spirit in the trinity, I’ll spare you on putting curse words in Rev’s vocabulary, because we all know MLK never uttered a bad word. He just cheated on The Misses.  Here’s what he would do: Look each child in the eye, interlocking his fingers under his chin, sigh, and then say, “I had a dream.” Were you waiting for something spectacular? For real, that’s all he would say.
Then mumble under his breath, “y’all already know what Jesse thinks about our people, now stop acting like……”
