3. Did she just speak about herself in the third person? |

That's a bit bizzare, isn't it?

50. hmmm--I'm guessing a religious, perhaps biblical reference. |

I'm not up on biblical references, though. Sorry, I can't be of more help. :(

Sorry but I have to say... |

I believe I am a spiritual person and she did not touch me at all.
Of all the speakers at this service, she reached me the least.

37. Is the liberal media going to take her to task |
|
for politicizing her mother's death?
:sarcasm:
Tweety and his ilk should be ashamed of themselves. Coretta Scott King was an ACTIVIST, how else do you honor an activist but by promising to continue her work?

49. I hear you. I can't believe them, either. |

I guess I would have been more surprised had they chosen to be mute and say nothing about any of it.
If there is a hell, there is a special place for those men, speaking ill of people honoring a woman's life, her legacy--their legacy. Beyond jerks! :mad:

I do think Rosa Parks ceremony was more meaningful. Having those people hating hypocrites spoiled the ceremony.

51. She helped me keep hope alive again...thanks Bernice King |
|
..I guess we find our way by finding our "contribution" ..that's my big thing when I talk with people, "what's your contribution"..it's my own little saying, my own message that I spread to others...however we decide to make our contribution is fine, so long as we make it, and make it non-violently. Bernice King helped me remember my own conviction, to "make my contribution". :hi:

52. It was a tremendous speech! |
|
My heart goes out to them, she and her siblings. They lost their dad before they were even at an age to understand what had happened. Now to lose their mom, a woman loved and embraced by so many,...can't be easy for them now.
They are going to need our 'contributions' so much. Now more than ever!
