- Martin Luther King III reacts to actor Jonathan Majors, who was found guilty of reckless assault in the 3rd degree and a non-criminal charge of harassment as a violation, encouraging his former girlfriend Grace Jabbari to be more like Coretta Scott King. #CNN #News
Why ask this man, on his father's birthday, about something some actor said?
That part
For views on UA-cam
I don't think Jonathan was using Michelle Obama or Coretta Scott King as a prop. I think Jonathan merely wanted a woman that understands the vision of her spouse and the sacrifices both had to make to support and foster the vision. Unfortunately, Jonathan is not a great communicator so his statement was taken for many things, but clearly it was not a prop as Berniece King believed. It was actually a compliment to both women.
If you want a woman to stand behind you it means you are a misogynist in todays soft ass society
Thank you!!!! Very well said 👏👏👏
People just wanted an excuse to bash him. It was clear to many what he meant. Meanwhile, this entire holiday weekend, the King's will be all over party fliers with disrespectful images using them as actual props that Berniece spoke about.
@@uzumaki3755 your comment made me think of the Boondocks Dr. King episode! 😂
I think Majors' comment also ripped a scab off the wound that most people try to ignore: Coretta stood by MLK in spite of his extramarital affairs for the sake of the cause. So even though Jonathan was really saying "I've made mistakes and hope someone still has my back," he caught backlash mainly because people still have MLK on a pedestal that prevents us from even alluding to his imperfections. Don't get me wrong: I'm not saying MLK's personal private struggles take away from any of the sacrifices he made. But I am saying it's okay for us to admit the people we admire aren't perfect, including Dr. King.
Jonathan Majors said nothing wrong, he has nothing but respect and admiration for the King family.
💯
I'm sure this was the only way he had of expressing that respect and admiration, but it was just sad.
He’s using her as a prop for his own agenda.
He's an idiot for telling a white woman to be like Coretta Scott King.💯
I'm sure he didn't mean nothing by it but wanting your white girlfriend to act like Coretta Scott King doesn't come across to you as weird?
What everr happened to having an inspiration......we love you Mr. MAJOR KANG. And thank you MLK son, for your closure on this.
Exactly. We've been taught to admire these people for their attributes all these years, and when they're held up as role models, a man gets harrassed and made fun of for it.
@@uzumaki3755he’s a goofy. He was gas lighting this woman to be like women she clearly could never fill their role. He can’t even be a MLK himself. He has mean background but wants a upstanding woman? For what? To abuse? I wonder how many black men are telling black women they want these type of women because I hear them telling us they want a rubi rose or jayda 😂 he needs himself a Jackie Kennedy 🥴 Iykyk
Im very pleased to hear this family speak out. There are so few public examples of TRUE excellence, intelligence, dedication and sacrifice these days. ANYTHING ‘celebrity’ is deemed to have values worth striving for. This is why some people feel totally comfortable with fixing their mouths to proclaim greatness when in reality, they are a nothing more than a toxic, dysfunctional, ego-centered person filled with immaturity and spiritual bankruptcy. That is truly sad. More solid examples of sustainable values that can truly uplift and maintain not only a community but civilization are needed.
But king was a pervert... remember the cia spied on him, and they have proof
From my personal life experiences, I could not agree more. Real recognizes real, keep chasing who you are meant to be
We are all sinners, even the best of men and women. That being said, there seems to be a lack of understanding of knowing who are historical figures were. They were men and women who had the courage to be bold to make positive change in our society for the many, not the self. How anyone who has been accused of abusing someone can put himself in the same light as Martin Luther King or Corretta Scott King is absurd and profane. And how anyone can use the likeness of a man who literally made the ultimate sacrifice, not going to war to kill, but waging a campaign of peace, to show him as being a common bafoon is insane. There is no regard or respect for men and women who were dying to make a difference in society for human rights. It is tragic and equally disgusting. They don't understand who these people were.

"If we live by "Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth." None of us would have eyes or teeth."
Those are some wise words right there..
It's only fair. Someone hurts you intentionally then they get it back double. We've been duped into believing that we should do nothing. Turn the other cheek. It's nonsense. Wake up. Be kind to people yes but only to the ones who are kind to you. Fuck the rest. Waste of space and air.
Under the Mosaic Law, laws that we are no longer under, an "Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth." meant that the degree of punishment should equal to the crime, and was not literal.
@@glory2342 I know you are trying to teach but s.d.c5513 was not being literal. The first 4 words qualified the statement.
@@chicopeegirl5738
I get your point, but the reason for my initial comment is that many interpret that law as its literally stated.
Wouldn't it have been more accurate to say: "If we LITERALLY lived by an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, none of us would have eyes or teeth?" After all, the ancient Israelites DID live by "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth," and they still had their eyes and teeth 😆so no "if" there.
Again, that law was about the punishment fitting the crime, not meant literally.
We have the same principle in our modern laws.

I'm glad MLK Jr. but things in context with what Jonathan Majors said.. Now those idiots can shut da hell up!! Smh
Far as I'm concerned that was an amazing compliment! Why not want a woman like Mrs. Coretta or Mrs. Obama! Class, Charm, Wisdom, Love and Respected ❤
I really don't think he meant that they were props! Now I don't appreciate those images of MLK he was no pimp, or king! He was a real man being obedient to God in serving for the voiceless. I found it disrespectful period.
It was as compliment, to be sure. But you do not just “get” that type of

He has a long way to go. imo
That people are angry a Yale graduate aspires to be like MLK or Obama shocks me. He is not just an actor, he is well read, such people have reference points in life.
This!!!
Nobody’s mad he just sounds delusional he’s a marvel actor …..get real 💀🤣
I agree. They have taken his statement WAY too far. We have way more other important issues to worry about in this country.

@@Chaneldoloress The Wright brothers were seen as delusional, people laughed at what they were saying and vision, the W. brothers didn't graduate high school but they had a source of inspiration in Otto Lilienthal, see the outcome.

@@RandyWatson1776 You have every right to defend your life, your family, and your personal property. That right has always been protected by the Constitution for Caucasians. Blacks have had to fight to enjoy those same rights, in spite of us being entitled to the full benefits of American citizenship since the abolition of slavery. We both know this, but I said it to tie it back into the original metaphor so its meaning won't get lost on other people.

@@RandyWatson1776 the reply wasn't meant to resonate on your frequency.
Any time a black man says he wants a supportive partner people get angry he never said he was mlk he said he’s aspiring to be great and as he should why not look up to our community’s role models and he didn’t use her as a prop it was a private conversation
This!!! A PRIVATE conversation with the woman he was trying to build a life with!!! I don’t understand why people find so much negativity in what is supposed to be an uplifting cry for sacrifice and support from Jonathan 🤦🏾♂️
He’s using her as a prop for his own perverted agenda. He obviously has an inflated sense of self importance
I always watch documentaries every year of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr and reflect on some of his profound speeches/ quotes.
I watch Malcolm X movie as well. I get very sad thinking about what if they never were killed in such a senseless way. They were both so impactful in our community and around the world. Literally brings me to JKF story and all. The 60’s were a moment in time people were making real change on the pavement with just a vision and voice. We still are hopeful for peace, equality, & freedom in all aspects of life.
Jonathan major’s comment speaks volumes. He wants his lady to have character like Coretta Scott King and live life with a purpose. I don’t think he meant any harm.
Majors
Kang the Conqueror AKA Jonathan majors got a lot of nerve saying that line and the same white woman had him running across the street for his life😂😂😂😂😂
Let’s talk about Melania Trump and the way she obtained her citizenship and how she well before all that worked here illegally for about a month and a half.
AND THEN SPENT SO MUCH OF OUR MONEY...and she didn't even utilize it in divorce! Lol...
People get offended too easily... It was a compliment and taking it as anything else is being overly critical.
It was a Fantasy.
his comment wasn't that big of a deal
Apparently CNN thought is was and ran all they to the family to get a comment 🙄
I know 🤦🏾♂️
He needs to talk to MLK's son about the woman seen on video trying to set fire to MLK birth home.
He better stop playing with that man’s mother 😅😅😅😅
But nothing about the person who tried to burn down the house of Dr Martin Luther King.🤔
Standing by a man who has a history of being an abuser is not the same as what she did and I’m glad he pointed it out!
@@adorahenderson55 He has allegedly had several emotionally abusive reactions in his younger years.

@@RandyWatson1776,
How so? 🤔
We are definitely far from those times
There was nothing wrong with what Majors said. He aspired to be a “credit to his race”, with a woman of dignity (Coretta Scott King or Michelle Obama) by his side. In the PRIVATE clip, he had rebuked his girlfriend for being a drunk. People always have something negative to add.
right. i guess he shoulda said "i want a ruth bater ginsburg"🤷🏾
She was never his girlfriend. That’s what he was trying to tell her.😂😂😂
@@MisssKayy 😂😂😂👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Always!
He picked her. There's plenty if white women who aren't drunks so obviously he loves dysfunctional
I’m happy with my life right now. I have my moments, but the good outweighs the bad, and I realize how blessed I am.
I feel the same way, abundantly BLESSED!!! 🙏🏾👑🐑🩸
Absolutely nothing wrong with what Jonathan majors said
Sadly most of the attacks at Jonathan Majors regarding his usage of Coretta name is coming from the black community.
I believe most peoples animus towards him is not him using Coretta Scott’s name when referencing Megan in the interview. The real anger is that he used it when speaking to a white woman. How dare he use Coretta’s name when speaking to a white woman.
If Jonathan had never used Coretta’s name when he was being secretly recorded by Grace, and only used it in the interview when referencing Megan Goode there wouldn’t be this much attention and vitriol from people. Let’s keep it real! He’s being punished for using it when speaking to a White woman!
exactly, he's trying to co-opt king's legacy onto his own legal woes, very low character to do so.
To aspire as a black man in America to be great is wrong? He actually made the reference Michelle Obama and Coretta’s in 2022. A year before his legal issue began with Grace. Maybe I’m mistaken.. can you tell me where and when he said?
@@jimmyj8936 he can surely aspire to that. But he's nowhere close to it, so it's weird to demand that he has a woman of Coretta Scott's caliber. I personally don't know what he's done to advance black people in the U.S. outside of acting. His acting alone isn't enough.
Nope. Both times were beyond inappropriate, ego-filled, and made no sense. Acting and putting your life on the line for the good of humanity are in no way the same.
Black Women did not find either time he said it cute because we know what he means.
Lol so you’re speaking on behalf of all black women?
It’s good for a man to uplift MLK as a role model and hope for a female partner to uplift Coretta King as a role model.
The root of Jonathan's statement is what makes people uncomfortable: saying Coretta stood by MLK is an inadvertent acknowledgement of MLK's extramarital affairs. It shatters the mythical perception of him, and some people feel that tarnishes his legacy (which it shouldn't).
@@edg456 Thanks for offering that idea. I see it differently. Jonathan mentions both Coretta King Michelle Obama as good role models for a partner, since he looks up to MLK and President Obama. I think that people are not understanding the comment, misunderstanding it as race-oriented, as Jonathan’s ex-partner is not of the same race as Mrs King or First Lady Obama. I think this misunderstanding of the comment shows the public’s racial bias, as to say that a person cannot have a role model from another racial background. It highlights ongoing, harmful beliefs in our community as it pertains to race. Conversely, I believe a person can have any role model they so choose, regardless of race.
@@edg456You keep repeating that and no one else has said that. You just want an opportunity to spread that part. People are angry because he told his white girlfriend to be like Coretta, a black woman.
@@EStephensIIIs there a way I can like your comment 100 times? You are spot on. I have said on several platforms as it relates to this matter, that black women are not the gatekeepers of the standards exemplified by Mrs. King and First Lady Michelle. So I don’t have a problem with Jonathan saying to his white girlfriend to aspire to having such standards. People made it about race and it wasn’t.
@@EStephensII 💯💯💯
He makes a good point. She was not just a prop. I think Majors like most men act like they want strong, impactful woman yet they pursue the exact opposite. I don’t feel any sympathy for Mayors he wasn’t the criminal they made him out to be, but he should have just left that girl alone. I know she was the one attacking him, but there is always a choice and he made the wrong one.
I didn’t see an issue with Majors saying this to his girlfriend. She was acting low class publicly and he gave her high class expectations and named higher class women as examples. Why is this an issue? And pretty please stop with the racial aspect. It’s ridiculous
Is he a man violent towards women? Perhaps the issue is that before he evokes the memory of Mrs Coretta Scott King, he should develop his own character.
@@homodeus8713 your reply is that of your personal feelings. My comment is based on what was actually said before it was taken out of context etc. Plus he said that greatness was what he was working towards as a man. Isn’t that what a flawed man should be trying to achieve?
Why didn’t he pick a higher class woman? No problem with his referencing them. Just saying…
Telling your white girlfriend that is wild 🤣💀 idc
@@lburg3780 that right there!!! But that’s a separate conversation from this one.
I took my girlfriend to Sea World in San Antonio yesterday and couldn’t tell the difference between the whale attractions and Republican women.🥶
Don't insult whales. They are way smarter than some humans on this planet
How can you tell if someone is Republican by looking at them?
🤣we see you Charles Barkley!
I see nothing wrong with what JM said. That should be considered a compliment. Coretta was an amazing woman. Some black folks just want to take offense to everything and sound deep. The not a prop response did not apply to this situation. The media are so divisive.
Thank you!
Ohhh so now you want a high caliber Black Queen!! Did you not know that before!!
It’s unfortunate that CNN will focus on this rather than the content of the interview where a black man is fighting for his innocence. Jonathan discussed many important facts of the case such as the the judge/court suppressing evidence from the juror.
1. The judge did not allow the jury to know that Grace Jabari was arrested by NYPD for misdemeanor assault and criminal mischief for attacking Jonathan Majors
2. The judge did not allow the Jury to see pictures of Jonathan Majors injury on his hands and face
3. The detective who arrested her testified but was not allowed to testify that he arrested Grace Jabari. His testimony was limited and he could not mention any part of Grace Jabari’s arrest
4. And ofcourse we all witnessed a woman chasing a man, and he running from danger. Like he said they’ll be an uproar if he a black man was chasing a white woman.
CNN I am disappointed in you as a network because rather focusing on facts of the case such as how race and the criminal justice system likely played a role in this case, you take your viewers focus away and give them a hanging fruit. Well done CNN!
This is a non starter for me but I understand what was said. Jonathan Majors meant no harm but you cannot tell a white woman to be more them or us.
CNN brought this man to further mess with Jonathan Majors. Who did he piss off to get blackballed like this? Wow!
Some elitist at Yale probably lol
The man didn't say anything bad about Jonathan Majors. He didn't see anything wrong in what the guy said. It's what any guy should be able to say to an alcoholic partner.

I take as Johnathan Majors giving a compliment and wanting a lady to be a supportive classy lady 🤷🏾♂️ seen nothing wrong with that
This is becoming modus operandi, men choosing non-classy women and pressuring them to act as if they were classy ladies. Why not choose to partner with women having the character they want in the first place?
Majors complimented Those two women. Anyone who has a problem with that is a fool.
He is an actor, a talented actor who is trying to clean up his reputation. Invoking those names is nothing but a con and you effing fell for it.
@@kathyweis7451 Again, he complimented two women. That’s not an insult. Your comment is wrong because he said those compliments before the altercation. He’s just explaining it to simpletons who want to smear him for their own dumb reasons, and you effing fell for it. 🤷🏼♀️
@@kathyweis7451 So make an attempt at having some common sense. He was recorded long before getting into it with his girlfriend invoking those names. Therefore he wasn’t trying to clean up jack 💩 or run a con. Let that sink in and stop commenting. Just take a nap lol
@@IDF_R_HEROES it wasn't before hand, I believe everyone deserves a second chance, redemption. He has to prove it, actions speak louder than words. He definitely deserves an Oscar for that performance. By the way I never said it was an insult, it was a performance.
@@kathyweis7451 It’s was literally before hand . It was a recording they played at his trial, genius. Also if it’s not an insult just shut up, Felicia. He’s done nothing wrong and complimented to women who didn’t deserve it. All those two have done was to marry two successful men. Now take a nap
This interviewer is asking the dumbest questions. You got doctor King’s family on here and you’re asking about Majors and flyers?
You can’t be 40 and decide
‘Ya know, I’m gonna be much more like Coretta Scott King, now.’
If he’s looking for that type of woman then he’d have to see some of those characteristics in someone. You don’t date someone who is the complete opposite and then hope that they’ll morph into your idea of what they should be.
That’s nonsense.
Exactly. And you do not just Say you are the type of man who could attract a CORETTA or a MICHELLE at 35.
He has a long way to go before he can measure up to a MLK or a BARACK OBAMA. js
These male celebrities are in the business of reprogramming women, see Jonah Hill, and Megan Goode's own ex-husband.
@@Nuuur_9
Sorry. Ms. Goode went into that marriage with her eyes wide open.
She had every opportunity to find out what was expected of a Pastor’s wife well in advance of becoming one. The Church is not going to change to accommodate the image and lifestyle she preferred.
Plus, her husband Publicly Defended any and all negative energy that came her way.
he'd still have a job if his woman was 1% of what Mrs. King was.
This is really sad!!!
Reaching hard on Jonathan Majors there huh?
He just Kang catch a break 😂
😑
Lmao I need to see this
how ppl are making his comments out to be negative is driving me crazy… like how folks.
Mr. King looks so ready for this interview to be over. Was it really necessary to keep bringing up the Jonathan Major comments and the horrible MLK weekend ads?
I think that Jonathan greatly admires Coretta Scott King and sées that she possessed all of the great characteristics of a good African-American female lìe partner: beautiful, ladylike, very supportive, very intelligent, good mother, a church-going person ưith strong belief in God, always daintily-dressed and soft-spoken!!
I just find it strange he asked a white women to be like two of the greatest black women in history
This is so blown out of proportion, I'm so sick of hearing about this, give me a break.
He crazy...comparing these great women to, or expecting the ex he had to have any of their morals 🙄
Some were blowing Jonathan Majors remarks put of proportion, what he was saying is he wants a woman that's gone stand by him, not set him up, to lose all his movie deals. Embarrass him or bring him down like that woman did. She destroyed his acting career. Why it's was so stupid of her to do. All those movie deals pulled out after his guilty verdict and I don't think he was guilty...I think she set him up. Learn read between the lines, God got explain word for word to some people. Majors needed a woman who supported him, was for him and his career this woman ruined him. A shame
Johnathan played himself saying that dumb ish.
I have a dream, No!!! But I do live in REALITY. Meaning never let one mans dream trick you from living in REALITY.
Gracious interview Marty
Jonathan Majors is NOT the example of what a "GREAT" Man is. He is a GREAT example of what FAILURE looks like. Major Difference!!! 🤡🤡🤡
The Big 3 that were eliminated in the ‘60’s. JFK, MLK, RFK. If you upset the status quo, “They” push a button on you.
I like to see his family speak out about some of this crime especially among us and in Memphis isn’t there something they can do to get these criminals to change.I’m tired of people not being able to go into our communities and enjoy culture.

One is known by the “fruit” that they bear.
He has chosen to “bear his fruit” Publicly. (As did the others mentioned in my comment.)
Therefore, as a person who both reads, and observes, I can indeed make a fair comparison.
Nonetheless, that does not mean he cannot grow. He just has not come very close to the type of person these “ideal” women he speaks of would be likely to get behind. imo
Do not @ me. I am not the one.
Damn. If he’s saying things are WORSE?? Than we done be ILL MESSED UP😢😢😢😢
He’s absolutely right they are worse
Why is it so hard for people to understand what Johnathon Majors was saying , it's simple , he basically was just saying to act with class and respect ...C.S.K was not out there getting blavk out drunk while her and M.L.K were heading a movement etc
If he wanted a Coretta or Michelle, he could have found one. He wanted a snow bunny and that’s what he got…now be happy!
Stop acting like every woman in our race is a Coretta. Some of them are strippers, some date thugs and get turned into single moms, then you had that black woman who was almost beaten to death by her white football player boyfriend, but you didn’t have this same energy for it. The hypocrisy is astounding.

I agree with Bernice! Mrs Scott King is not a prop!
I’m so upset with this interview and their entire family they’re outdated and just outright sad.
In ALL of these years I NEVER GIVE ANY ATTENTION TO BERNICE KING or what she says. She is always off. I always appreciated the older children more; YOLANDA KING (THE MOST) AND MARTIN THE THIRD. I like his answer to the Johnathan Majors comment. There's nothing wrong with saying and inspiring to have a CORETTA OR MICHELLE as the TYPE of wife you as an aspiring leader want to have. I think it's a compliment. AND BERNICE "OVER THE RELIGIOUS TOP" KING, seem to miss that with her very judgemental (religious based) comment. She could have been a bit kinder as her brother was here.
I think where BLACK PEOPLE had the problem (chuckle) and I do agree and get it, was him telling that SORRY WHITE WOMAN who probably has no real idea WHO Mrs. King was, he wanted HER (which is laughable) to be like a Coretta Scott. We see how that turned out for him.
🙋🏾♀️😳 exactly Dr. Martin Luther King son this elder didn’t see anything wrong with what Jonathan Majors said he even said he even spoke my mother was a supporter but she was more than just a supporter. And yes she wasn’t a prop. Your sister is the one who said she was a pop, Jonathan Majors never say it Coretta Scott king was a prop🙅🏽♀️🙅🏽♀️. But he, Martin Luther King son just agreed with Jonathan Majors. My mother was a supporter. She was more than a supporter that isn’t that what Jonathan Majors said he said it”” he wanted Grace to be like a karate Coretta Scott king in character, not coming home drunk, having different people in their house. That’s what he met a supporter not a destroyer. Thank you Dr. King son for a green and not having a problem with what Jonathan Majors said about your mother mama rest in peace respectfully, Coretta, Scott King🙅🏽♀️💯💯💯💯
I do not think Jonathan did/said anything wrong! He had high expectations for a woman that could NOT measure up though!
He hasn’t measured up so far, either. It is not enough to play a hero in a movie.
I was born in 91 and I always say it's worse now than when I was younger
Majors need a woman that supportive, and has some gangsta on the watch for any signs of the bullshit that would negatively target his career. Gansta with it against anything, anyone that did anything, try say anything to damage his career stopping them checks. Shut it down immediately, gansta but sophisticated with it.
So he wants a woman that will tolerate him cheating on her? What's the context as 3 University Deans so eloquently stated.
Jonathan Majors looks like he’s doing Blue Steel from Zoolander. Why does he look like that?!?

I think John's comment has been taken out of context. No one could see Mrs. Obama or Mrs. King as props. They are/were integral parts of the movement and lives of their husbands and had their own personal power too. Good on John for being aspirational. Now can we rest this.
His Comments were not taken out of context.
It is his own Self Image he needs to examine. js
I don't understand how Jonathan Majors thinks he can place himself in the same sentence as MLK Jr. talking about "I am a great man".
For Jonathan Majors to think he is as great a man as MLK Jr. and has made sacrifices as great as MLK Jr. is to be narcissistic and grandiose.
Any 'sacrifices' that Jonathan Majors has made in his life most likely pertain to the uplifting of himself.
MLK Jr. in contrast risked his life for the betterment of the black race and America as a whole. MLK Jr's activism was a selfless act.
MLK Jr. won the Nobel Peace Prize -- What has Jonathan Majors done that was selfless or inspired peace? Now he wants to use BW to get his career back on track.
He said he was great in his living room. He didn't even say it to the world. He was in his house alongside someone he sees as family. There is nothing wrong in aspiring to be great or saying you are the greatest in your bedroom using reference points. What would you say if he was recorded saying he aspires to be a thief?
Well said ❤ MLK lll and salute Mr Major. Your point is understood.
Amen I agree with everything he said
I think Jonathan meant well with what he said in reference to Mrs. Coretta Scott King.
I don’t think he did either but to ask that from a white woman. She was even perplexed.🤷🏾♀️
