Alveda King's doctorate is Honorary (for her politics), not earned.
Alveda Celeste King is an American politician, author, minister, and activist. She is a niece of the civil rights activist Martin Luther King, Jr. and daughter of the late civil rights activist Rev. A. D. King and his wife Naomi Barber King. She is the director of African-American Outreach at the Roman Catholic pro-life group Priests for Life.<1> She is currently a Senior Fellow at the Alexis de Tocqueville Institution, a conservative Washington, D.C. think-tank She is a former member of the Georgia House of Representatives and the founder of King for America.
King studied journalism and sociology as an undergraduate, and she received a Master of Arts degree in business management from Central Michigan University. She once worked as a college professor.<2> She received an honorary doctorate from Saint Anselm College.<3> In Salon.com, King explained her honorary degree: "I guess for my stand on the support of marriage, and family, and education, and life."<4>
From 1979 to 1981, King represented the 28th District in the Georgia House of Representatives. The district included Fulton County,<5> and King served as a Democrat.<4> In 1984, King ran for the seat of Georgia's 5th congressional district in the United States House of Representatives and supported the Rev. Jesse Jackson for president.<6> For the 2000 Republican presidential primary, Alveda King endorsed Steve Forbes.<7>
Regarding Martin Luther King Jr. and family, Alveda King claimed that "Mrs. Coretta Scott King knew that her husband, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., was pro-life" regarding Martin Luther King Jr. winning the Margaret Sanger Award from Planned Parenthood in 1966.<8> In 1994, Alveda King wrote a letter condemning Coretta Scott King's support for abortion and gay rights.<4> According to Fox News, Alveda King has "long argued" that Martin Luther King Jr. was a Republican.<9> University of Cambridge historian David Garrow stated in a Salon profile of Alveda King: "King was not only not a Republican, he was well to the left of the Democratic Party of the 1960s."<4>
The Advocate magazine has quoted King speaking out against gay rights. At a 1997 rally in Sacramento protesting proposed state legislation to extend civil rights to gays and lesbians, King said: "To equate homosexuality with race is to give a death sentence to civil rights. No one is enslaving homosexuals...or making them sit in the back of the bus."<10> In a 1998 speech at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill: "Homosexuality cannot be elevated to the civil rights issue. The civil rights movement was born from the Bible. God hates homosexuality."<11> King had been making public appearances throughout 1997 criticizing gay rights.<12>...

It turns out they're not very keen on her support for traditional marriage:

3. "I guess"???
> King explained her honorary degree: "I guess for my stand on the support of marriage, and family, and education, and life."
I'd think an honorary degree would be a proud moment, an achievement and an honor to be cherished -- and thus I think you'd KNOW why you received it. Or... are honorary degrees just passed out like candy? :shrug:

10. i don't have a problem with them as long as they're portrayed as *honorary*
if someone with an *honorary* phd puts "phd" on their resume, that's fraud, imho.
and of course, it's easy for universities to abuse the power to award them in exchange for getting a donation and/or a speech from a famous person.
at my college graduation ceremony, we gave an honorary doctor of letters to theodore geisel, aka dr. seuss. his work wasn't academic in nature, but i think we can all say he earned that award. but the more famous you are, the easier it is to get an undeserved honorary degree. basically, it's yours for the asking, again, possibly for the price of a donation and/or a speech.

CNS Still Treating Alveda King's Honorary Doctorate As Real
Topic: CNSNews.com
A Sept. 30 CNSNews.com article by Mary Jane O'Brien about an interview by CNS editor-in-chief Terry Jeffrey of anti-abortion activist Alveda King repeatedly refers to her as "Dr. Alveda King" and "Dr. King." The problem, as we pointed out last time CNS did this: King has apparently not earned any doctorate degree.
As biographies of King on several websites state, King "received her honorary Doctorate of Laws from Saint Anselm College."As a Saint Anselm publication details, in 2001 she "was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Laws degree for her extraordinary efforts as an advocate for education reform and improvement of race relations and for her passionate participation in the political and academic arena following the great challenges of her young life." While it's an honor, it's not a real doctorate.
King does not hold a doctorate she has earned, as far as we can determine; even if she had, Associated Press journalistic style dictates that the "Dr." honorific is given only to medical doctors.

Hey!
You ****ing racist, tiny-minded, haters!
Yeah, YOU!

Gore said he was "thrilled" to receive an honorary doctor of laws and humane letters in ecology and evolutionary biology, which was given to him during the spring commencement exercises of UT Knoxville's College of Arts and Sciences.

So are Bill Cosby's.
The fact that IIRC Al Sharpton never went to any recognized theology school doesn't stop him from referring to himself as "Reverend".
Keep peeling away the onion DUmmies. Every day in every way you reveal to the world who the REAL racists and bigots are in this country.

So I'm thinking that someone might want to retract their statement about Honorary Degrees. :popcorn:

I can't believe they are giving this woman such a hard time.
She is just following in her uncle's footsteps. She sees the danger we are in if the gubberment decides to make us all oppressed. Get off her back you f'en pieces of garbage libs/progressives. :bird: She's a true American.

Bill Cosby has an actual doctorate (Ed.D.) in education from UMass.

So Alveda King basically has the same view on gay marriage that Obama has?

Yet more, lots of it,that the left is all about diversity as long as everyone thinks the same.
Oh and if you don't think the same there is no punishment fit for that crime.

Lefty logic:
I attack 0-bama's credentials/ability to be president. Therefore, I'm a racist homophobe who washes his Hum-V with the gutted carcases of baby seals and oil-soaked penguins while I bask in the glow of my backyard tire fire.
They attack the credentials of a speaker at a rally--the neice of the paragon of the Civil Rights Movement--and they're heroes.
You just need to understand the rules.

They just can't admit that King was a Republican because their heads would explode.

That's it. I'm done tipping those spectacularly tattooed ****wits at Starbucks. If those colossal pricks can accomplish nothing more in their lives than making the most bitchin' caramel macchiato I've ever tasted and spending their smoke breaks pissing about Dr. King's niece, then I'll be damned if I'm gonna toss them an extra $0.35 every *******ed morning.
Let 'em eat that stale-assed crumb cake I never buy. :bird: :evillaugh:

Alveda King doesn't walk in step with the left, she's an accomplished woman, and the deal-breaker for the left is she's staunchly PRO-LIFE. They only like black people they can control.
This Minister was on Sean's show last week, and he told Sean he would be in NY this week and he'd love to come up to the studio and discuss this subject more, in case anyone missed it, you have to watch this, the Minister had his flock turn on him because they didn't like what he had to say:

Mister Donut was founded in 1956 and had locations across most of North America.
Mister Donut was the largest competitor to Dunkin' Donuts, which was founded in 1950, before being acquired by Dunkin' Donuts' parent company, Allied-Lyons, in February 1990.
After the acquisition of Mister Donut by Allied-Lyons, all Mister Donut locations within North America were offered the chance to change their name to Dunkin' Donuts. Now only a scattered few locations still hold the name Mister Donut.

That is an outstanding video! I have been preachin' the same thing ever since my Dad preached it at our Four Square Church in Binger, OK.!
Guess what, DUmmies, we were 40% Black/White! You've never seen a sermon until you have the ladies down front gettin' spiritually energized! It has remained one of the most enlightening experiences of my life!
It's time our Black citizens woke the hell up! Listen to your Momma! She knows the difference between right and wrong!
A job does not entail 3 HNIC's in charge, drivin' fancy cars, wearin' gold chains, and livin' high on the hog, while you risk your life on the corner sellin' illegal substances to the "Crackers" in order to make their money! Take a look at your wives. girlfriends, and children, for Christ's sake!
ETA:
The best Baritone I have ever had the pleasure to hear, was the Black Man who sang at Dad's funeral!
Suck on that DUmmies!!!!

I told my wife that I would kill for the opportunity to have sung with those people on Beck's stage. They're good.

Hey DUmmies. There was a reason she was there with Beck and not standing with Al Sharpton, you f'en fools!!
Don't you get it yet?!?! :mental: :bird:
