There’s one in every family. That one nerve-wracking niece or nephew,
annoying aunt or crazy uncle you try to avoid at family gatherings who
tracks you down like a heat-seeking missile, gets you in a corner and
proceeds to pummel you into submission with their non-stop nuttiness and
crazy thoughts.
In the family tree of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., his niece, Alveda King
is the sap. An unabashed right-winger who is vehement in her opposition
to abortion, gay rights and same-sex marriage, Alveda, who boasts she is
carrying her uncle’s mantle forward told the thousands who attended Glenn
Beck’s Restoring Honor revival meeting in Washington that Dr. King, if he
had been assassinated 42 years ago, would have also been there as well.
Alveda is an anti-abortion activist and something of a homophobe. In a
1998 speech she said, “Homosexuality cannot be elevated to the civil rights
issue. The civil rights movement was born from the Bible. God hates
homosexuality.” She claims Dr. King would oppose gay marriage and was a
Republican.
Beck, a former drunk and drug addict, peddles a particularly poisonous and
phony populism, and King is all too happy to lend him a little cover by
being his token Negro friend. Her appearance at this strokefest for Beck’s
ego was shameful and embarrassing. But Alveda King is not easily shamed or
embarrassed.

Absolute crackpot. She mocks her uncle's life.
