In response to widespread rioting and violence that brought the city to a standstill in recent days, activist Alveda King took Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake to task for seemingly endorsing the mob’s destructive behavior.
“Your invitation to ‘give space for those who want to destroy’ is unbelievable,” King wrote. “This interpretation of rights to free speech is dangerous Ma’am.”

My dear Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake.
Your invitation to “give space for those who want to destroy” is unbelievable. This interpretation of rights to free speech is dangerous Ma’am.
In 1963, my father Rev. AD King, after the firebombing of our home in Birmingham, Alabama, urged hostile protestors to abandon violence and turn to God in prayer instead. Thank God they listened to him, and the even greater voice of his brother, my Uncle MLK, during those turbulent days.
Now, you are inviting violence to your city? Who, Ma’am, will incur the moral and economic costs of picking up the pieces? The innocent taxpayers?
We at www.restorethedream2015.com are very concerned. Ma’am, people are not entitled to pillage and destroy. That is just plain wrong. Our affiliates on the ground in Baltimore are willing to help quell the violent tide. And make no mistake about it; something must be done to save our cities.
How did we get here? Where do we go now? Think about this: Baltimore 1965 vs. Baltimore 2015, compare and contrast:
1. Money spent on public schools then vs. now.
2. Amount spent on social welfare payments then vs. now.
3. The size of Government Bureaucracy then vs. now.
4. The number of black elected officials then vs. now.
5. Number of black children born in Baltimore to an intact nuclear family.
6. Number of Black lives MIA by abortion and incarceration.
If you look at all six questions/comparisons what you will see is the only statistics to have decreased (1965 to 2015) is the number of black children born in intact nuclear families.
Something is wrong. We must stop the killing and advance the healing now!
I really like and admire her.
Ouch. That’s going to leave a mark.
Alveda King has been an eloquent and determined voice saying, “(Black) babies’ lives matter,” for many years. Her endurance is amazing.
She's not "authentically black." End of story.
Of course, Dozo what's-her-name really isn't "authentically black," and she dominates the news cycle for two weeks.
Up is down, man. Up is down.
You have to keep in mind that Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake has the IQ of broccoli.
Unfortunately, you know it’ll has no effect, as neither the MSM nor black America grant Alveda any credibility.
Hey, what do you have against cruciferous vegetables? Cauliflower even looks like brains!
That's one of the reasons she got elected.
The other is that she looks kind of cute with her mouth hanging open.
Probably not. We're the only ones who will read it.
Amen Alveda.
Thank God most are not incited to riots despite Obama priming the pump for 7 years.
if i were the lawyer for broccoli, i’d sue you for libel!
>:(
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
I stand corrected. She has the IQ of dust.
That’s probably pretty close.
Yes. Good for her. Incredible woman.
Nothing leaves a mark on those guys.
No, it won’t. It will be ignored or derided.
A voice of sanity and reason.
