They better not start acting a fool on us.

What a shame! KING would be rolling over in his grave.

I hope that matter is resolved immediately so that this does not have to be one more thing to look at black folks do. Please straighten this out

The LOVE of money is the root of all evil.

SMH@ MLK’s son. The love of money, with the lack of money, is the root of evil.

~*Oh Lord this is the reason some families break up and start becoming enemies. Lord Bless them!!!*~

I LOVE YOU DEXTER!!!

How disgusting-this is why my husband and I have made wills out that include each one of our children,so none of them can make decisions for the other ones-everyone will get equal share.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not them, not this family!!!!!

Not now, Not never!!!!!!!!!!!!

Come on, you can’t & shouldn’t bring shame to the MLK Jr. name or legacy….

This saddens me

And they’re all old enough to…

from their FATHER’S estate? I think they may mean their MOTHER’S estate. I hope they are not still arguing over a 60s will ;-(

Please no. Please no. Daxn, this couldn’t be done on the low. What is going on. When MLK, Jr. is your father, you better straighten and fly right for real.

These people are human beings. The have the same stress and problems that everyone has. They are not icons their father and mother was. I am sure that in the end everything will work itself out. There are probably mediators stepping as we type.

Unfortunately, this occurs within families that run non-profit organizations. That happened here in Texas with the Carl B. and Florence E. King Foundation (the people behind Sesame Street). It was so sad to read about, but I’m glad they’re holding him to scrutiny instead of just letting him spend it all away.

Dexter King is fine.

Quiet mediation, not a lawsuit, folks.

If you really want to see how he is wasting the money, check out his 4 million plus mansion in Malibu, CA.

This mess is a damn shame. Yes, your father is a legend and a historical figure. Please show some respect, like getting your own career and making your own living. It’s bad enough to live off someone’s who’s passed, but to disrepect Coretta and Dr.King, by fighting over money. People get your act together. This is really too simple for words. Be arole model to your own children, who are only learning what you teach them, like how to live off people. Parents or not, you need to do you.

sad ass kids! Riding off of the coat tails of their parents! Have some respect for the family name and what it means to be mlk kids!

btw: the one in the middle is hot!

I always did think Dexter was the least responsible one out of the 4. I remember years ago he was presuing acting. I was like WTF. I guess Hollywood didn’t kick down his door. I can not believe he was estate’s administrator. He should have been last in line for that position.

Why cant the siblings ever get along when the parents are gone. Money will always do it. SMH

NO ONE CARES ABOUT THE KINGS!!!

Nothin short of crazy..2 years ago the finest celebration of life and tv event i have ever seen happened to be “Coretta Scott Kings funeral”…It was a celebration of the fine work we all can achieve if we become self-less…These kids know better not to put their family business out in the open. I believe something more damaging has happened which is why this is gone public. Dexter might be on some drugs or alcohol or completely ego-trippin for the siblings to slap a law-suit..

First Jesse, then Nas and now this. Today is not a good day for black folks. We lookin hella crazy right now. Again, Lord help us all. Let me see if I can find something uplifting to read about my people.

************************************************

A $4 million house in Malibu can hardly be classified as a mansion. A 2-bedroom fixer upper with a caved in roof would run you a couple million there.

I guess was Coretta was keeping them together and keeping the peace. Hopefully they will remember what was taught to them by their mother and their father.

The family recently sold a lot of there fathers original speeches and videos for a reported 32mil. So I would say yes you will start to see the family acting a damn fool over this money. Its sad too because there will only be on Dr. King and they don’t make men like him anymore!!

Thats sad.. Im glad Mrs. King isnt alive to see this. It reminds me of Soul Food when the mother dies, and also their big sister who probably became the matriach fo the family passed. I just hope they realize with all the misfortunes that occured in their family they can overcome this shallow situation.

I hope that they have the wherewith all and the good sense to get an appropriate mediator involved so that the King legacy won’t turn into a big shameful joke!!!

Let’s pray for them…

Dexter was always about himself. When I used to live in the ATL, he was always out in the v.i.p. with whatever hoochie available. I remember when he left to be an ‘actor’, he didn’t do anything to help his mom or siblings. He was the main one wanting him mom to sell Dr. King’s papers. It was the movers and shakers in ATL that put up the money to get the papers sold to a group that inturn donated the papers to Morehouse. He’s a money hungry man. They were going to have to sue his ass to find out the truth.

HA! HA! HA! HA! EVERYTHING IS GOING ACCORDING TO PLAN.

We do so and also have time to visit the low there, which is amazing. Sad ass are perfect for the low. The low’s cramped and filled with 3 very messy Canadians.

This is disturbing.. I’m sure Martin Jr and Coretta are rolling in their graves. Suing each other over money? How disgusting. I say if they all weren’t trying to live off the labor of their parents and went out and made their own way none of this would be happening.. But when your fighting over inherited money to substance income things like this happen

Gosh, they’ve been fighting over money for years…it’s time they sat down with a financial advisor again and get their acts together…this is not what their parents expect of them.

Stop this foolishness, FAMILY!!!!

I just read that instead of handling the fam business right..Dexter has been chasing white ass..with the majority of the money and the king family center has been mismangaged for years!

that is why he is reluctant to turn over those books! Damn shame..isn’t?

Just like a dude who has a gorgeous young girlfriend, it takes a lot of money to keep a young gay man in style.

Dexter’s gay lifestyle takes a lot of money. It’s no surprise!!!

THIS IS HARDLY A FIXXER UPPER……Bird

Dexter King pays $4.16M for one Malibu house, lists another for $3.495 million

Dexter King, who is the son of the late civil rights leaders Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King and who now is the chairman of the Atlanta-based King Center, has paid $4.16 million for a 6,823-square-foot house in Malibu and has listed another, 4,705-square-foot house in Malibu for $3.495 million.

is it true that bernice king is a lesbian? dexter has a light skinned girlfriend and a dark skinned boyfriend…these negroes are cursed and crazy.

hmmm

fighting over money!! clearly someone is trying to keep their gruby hands in their parents pocketbook.

This is what happens.

They have been fighting over money for years because the Kings are not rich by no means. Other than Martin King, III, they don’t have “real” jobs and need to get off of their shiftless asses and stop trying to cash-in on Dr. Kings cash-strapped Center. Yolanda was an “actress, director, and producer”, Dexter had an “entertainment production company”, and Bernice is a “minister”. Umm, Ok.

The King Center is where all the assets are, and why they are fighting to receive some of the pie. Mrs. Coretta didn’t even have enough money to purchase a home–damn shame. This is why Jesse and Al are Shake Em Down pimps because there is no money in activism/civil rights.

=== afropreneur.com ===

This has been going on for years…..The King Center has been begging for help and no one seems to understand that these damn King children are out of their damn minds…..all of them…..

Actually, Coretta did own a home in Atlanta. The home that she and Dr. King owned when he was alive. It was just in a rough area of Atlanta. Oprah bought her a penthouse because she said that a woman of Coretta’s Status should not have been living in a home like that. It was a well kept very old home but it was in the HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!

Please tell me this isn’t happening. How sad…

*SIGH* They are just running the good King name in the ground! What is the deal! I had issues with them when they put their father’s papers up for sale and when one of the son’s nearly sank the King Center. This is just shameful. Their parents deserve so much more than this. Get it together King offspring!

They’re suing because dexter controls all of MLK’s speeches and his image, thats global and worth alot of money. Look at dexter’s two houses in malibu!
