Fight Among King Children Hurting Movie Chances
May 22nd, 2009
Steven Spielberg is having second thoughts about producing a movie about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. because the slain peacemaker’s children won’t stop fighting. DreamWorks Studios announced Wednesday that it could renege on its plans to start filming a biopic on the civil rights leader unless Martin III, Bernice and Dexter settle their squabble over the agreement.

It would be really sad if a movie is not made because of sibiling rivalry. This is not what Dr. King was about….shame on them.
I know their father and mother would not approve of all of this bickering. It is truly ironic that the offspring of one of the biggest proponents of peace and harmony cannot come together at all on anything. They are embarrassing themselves and their namesake by not being adults in handling their disagreements behind close doors. They instead choose the public forum for their “debates” against one another and continue to feed into the stereotype that blacks cannot come together on anything without drama and in-fighting. Martin would be so proud.
It’s a shame that the King children can’t get it together. I wonder if they know how foolish they look and sound….
Why would We B surprised of this behavior or Lack of Character always Present in the invisible children of the Great Dr. King?! In comparison 2 the children of Kennedy…Always Present, Accessible, VISIBLE WITH A PURPOSE. I was so xpecting of Caroline & Maria to B because they R descendents of Greatness..Should we xpect less? In the midst of the Presidents’ run for office,,I met the Kennedys, well 2. B 4 we won IOWA..When every1 was everywhere in OBAMA… WHERE WERE THE CHILDREN of DR. KING? What were they doing? NO WHERE. When U see DEXTER we see Dr. King..Maybe he has a vision that his siblings don’t…Still he has been doing what? Being invisible 2 a public that hangs on your every word..When your spoken of its’ in regard 2 $*# 4 Tat moments..Verbal jabs will never tarnish the Legacy of Dr. King, nonetheless Y?
SIBLILING RIVALRY OR NOT, THS IS TOTAL NONSCENCE. THEY NEED TO UDERSTAND THAT THERE FTHER WORKED SO HARD AS A MERTER AND A SAINT NOT JUST FOR THEIR BENEFIT,BUT FOR ALL MAN KIND.
MLK WAS A MAN THAT WAS HAND PICKED BY GOD TO GO THROUGH WHAT HE WENT THROUGH FOR A BETTER TODAY FOR ALL HUMAN RACE AND NOT JUST FOR MARTIN DEXTER AND BERNICE. THEY NEED TO SAVE US THE EMBARASMENT OF THEIR GREED AND STUPIDITY AND ALLOW THE LEGACY OF A MAN THAT SAW TODAY 40 YEARS AGO. DUE TO HIS FORCAST AND PREDICTION AND REVELATION (GOD USED HIM) TODAY, WE HAVE AN ARICAN AMERICAN NON TOTAL WHITE NON TOTAL BLACK, BUT A HUMAN BEING IN HIS OWN SPECIAL UNIQUENESS. SOME ELDERS NEED TO GET TOGETHER AND LET THEM UNDESTAND THAT IN AS MUCH AS MLK WAS THEIR FATHER, HE BELONGS TO EVERY BODY AND HIS STORY NEED TO BE TOLD AS TO FULFILF HIS LEGACY AND NAME PLUS HIS MISSION AND HELP EVERY ONE TO HEAL. JESUS TOLD HIS PARENTS WHEN THEY WERE LOOKING FOR HIM AND FOUND HIM AT THE TEMPLE TEACHING, THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE HIS MOTHERS AND FATHERS AND BROTHERS AND SISTERS. SO, (NOT SAYING THAT MLK IS CHRIST) BUT HE IS NOT JUST YOUR FATHER, BUT OURS ALSO. PLEASE GROW UP AND LET HISTORY PREVAIL.
Well, first I would like to say I agree with Kenny. And I hope that the King children get a chance to read this. Berniece is a preacher. Please ask for God’s guidance and His annointing to come between you and your brothers so you can get some issues resolved. Whatever it is. Berniece’s father in the ministry can advise her and the brothers as well. Just please stop the madness!
If I were a person of prestige, wealth, and positive influence, I would not dare promote any project in the wonderful Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Why? Because these kids are fighting over the simplest things, such as photos and how much money one will receive. I agree they should be compensated for their father photos, writings, speeches, etc. But to air it in public in such a negative way is very unlike what Dr. King stood for. Mr. Speilberg, make a movie about Oprah Winfrey or Stevie Wonder.

The whole family is a joke typical blacks
I agree with the person who left a comment name D.Woods. Mr. Spielberg has money, prestige and power and suppose to be a professional . To “Air The King’s family dirty laundry” in regards to their bickering is disrespectful and shows a lack of humility on this filmmaker part. Many famous family’s have had squabbles that have not been spoken on. this film maker could of waited to things cooled off and then made a decision on doing or not doing the film on this great leader and activist of truth. Then sinply not make an comments on why he did not make the movie, if this would become the outcome of this situation. a person like Mr. Spielberg knows drama makes good movies,but he doe s need to find someone to make a movie about and let this family mend their differences in private.
Who ever made the last comment “the whole family is a joke and they are typical black people”. Who are you, how old you? Wh€at gives you the right to make such comments about a race of people? I don’t know you, but your comments were disrespectful, negative and selfish. Please thnk before you post negative words into cyberspace about anything or anyone.
OH NO THEY DIDNT! See that why we be needing obama for the black peoples not the white peples. Speelburg be doing something good for us and we be messing it up. obama should have helped the black community before serving himself and them white crooks at the white house. Thats the last time we should vote fore peple cuz they be black.
D-Lowe
that just goes to show you that this right here called greed has no boundries. they are the children of the most infulentual person in african american history and they can’t keep it together it just makes me sick and i hope and pray that they will get it together soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The founding fathers had to be smoking somethings, to bring your dum ass to the new world from Africa.
behaviour and sibling rivalry is no different from us! so much for the so called “civilizing influence” of north america on blacks lol!!! Anyway the blacks sold by africans to white traders where the unwanted and ostracised within their own communities mostly, but dont tell their descendants that…
