Amazing to me that the Washington comPOST would publish something from a writer at The Gospel Coalition, but there you have it.

Yeah, a few myths. She was secretary of the NAACP chapter (I think) and took the place of another volunteer who had a “slutty” reputation. So, it wasn't impromptu. She was in the black area of the bus but needed to move because white people were getting on board. So what? She changed the course of history.

Washington Post? Amazing.

[longfellow]

6.She had exact change.

I wonder if she would have found the energy to remain standing if she had known about Obama?

Check out the old movie Barbershop; a comedy from 2002. Listen to what Cedric The Entertainer had to say about the ‘beloved’ Rosa Parks. It sums up what many other black think of her almost mythic stature and influence on Civil Rights.
“What did she really do? Not all that much!”

None of that BS matters. There shouldn’t have been a section she couldn’t sit in. Attacking it in any manner was fair game.

It was a staged event totally for the theatrics and the optics.

God, the average American is dumber than a sack of hammers..
God..!

Yes, Rosa Park’s move was scripted and thought out beforehand. But it was an important symbol that woke people up all over the country about bullshit racist laws, and so, IMO, deserves the recognition it received.

Just weird to think there was a time these attitudes and behavior were codified, promoted by communities at large and somehow acceptable.

No one should be treated differently because of the color of their skin.

All man, should always be accorded equal stature and respect.

Disgusting period in America and senseless when over 600,000 died over an argument about this.

Is her bus tour still rolling?

Read the comments after the article, you would think racism has gotten worse in the last 50 years.

She was intensely political, had a long history as a lefty activist.

She was ASSIGNED that job by a COMMITTEE.

The right action? Yes.

Spontaneous? Yeah, like high Mass at St. Anthony’s Church, sure.

TOTALLY ORCHESTRATED.

As time moves on people and events take on Myth Like Proportions.
Ronald Reagan
Martin Luther King, Jr.
John Kennedy
Etc., Etc., Etc. After awhile we have trouble separating myth from reality.
