(1,989 posts)Really? I don't monitor funerals for their attendance lists. The only ones I have been involved in planning involved contacting people who were personally connected to the deceased loved one.
I don't give a care whose funeral, David Dukes attends. Who am I? I would have to have an ego the size of Texas to believe my opinion matters to people burying a loved one that isn't connected to me.
People get to invite whoever they want. So, I feel absolutely comfortable with David Dukes speaking at anyone's memorial who invites him. It's not my funeral. They aren't going to ask me for advice. If as an potential attendee, I don't want to go. I won't go.
I don't see Donnie McClurkin & TD Jakes as an equivalent to David Duke, the former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan.
You have every right to weigh in. I have also weighed in. But, to me, we're just offering our opinions. I don't see a personal opinion from people as far removed as you and I as having much value to the people closest to Whitney Houston at this moment.
