      That's what his writers wrote. It was all politics and propaganda as everything is if you didn't notice for some reason. The real man: I'm 60 and way back when my best buddies father was the main FBI detective who investigated his death and he found that He had white prostitutes in every major city that he would have drug and alcohol fueled orgies with, with it usually ending up with him beating the white prostitutes bloody and black and blue. This is a married man with children, who claimed to be a man of God. Also his name was Micheal King - he never was the name he claimed . It was a fictitious name which he never made legally his actual legal name. There's a lot more very bad things about him I know, but I'm not going to put them here, because people would get their little feelings hurt and we don't want that.

With minors being exploited, and taken advantage of, as adults we should be protected them every way we can. Yes, the talent, dedication and will to put on a performance despite weather conditions is there, as a Father myself, I would have a huge issue if I saw my 6 year in this kind of attire. Call me “old school” but my job as a parent is to protect my daughter at all cost specially when she’s being paraded around on national TV. All we ask is for a little consideration next time.

      These two are classic male Karen's great job guys, show us who you really are. Don't hold back. You should be ashamed of yourselves. These young girls have worked hard to maintain multiple national championships and amazing grades in school. The costume doesn't make or break them. It's clear you are small-minded individuals who had nothing better to do with your time than to judge & attack innocent little girls to make you feel good about yourselves and your miserable small minded lives. SMH....
