this is silly - all this attention just for sitting at the front of a bus....
well...that was Rosa Parks...
but I do think you have a valid point to say that there is a rather inordinate amount of hubbub surrounding any and all civil rights leaders, when they're certainly not the only ones worthy of veneration. And while I respect Mrs. King for her life of commitment to a cause that her husband really catalyzed...I do kind of have a problem with her getting the same kind of formalities (lying in state) that President Reagan got when he passed.
Wrong person. That was Rosa Parks. And your weak attempt to diminish what was a brave stand by her shows your true character. You might have a career speaking at Republican funerals and memorial services.
Ummmmmm..........this isn't even close to being funny.
I'd back off if I were you, because the only one who looks 'silly' here is you.
Martin Luther led marches and sit-ins -- Rosa Parks took a stand on riding in the back of the bus. Huge difference -- shame you don't know your history.
Intended to be funny, I'm sure, yet.... not even close. :]
I know you have only been a Freeper since last July, but really, I thought you would have learned something by now.
...back in the day, some people went to into the jail alive and ended up dead. So it was a brave thing for her to do. She could have ended up dead like countless others. Even white people were not spared violence if they associated with the civil rights movement. How many of us today have the courage to put our very lives on the line for what we believe in?
