“In 1955, Rosa Parks took on the whole system of Jim Crow by refusing to give up her seat on a segregated Montgomery bus.”

Why do we believe in silly myths like this? She didn’t take on the system. Other people did it in her name. I’m sure all she wanted to do was sit down.

And not one man stands in the way of the government dragon. This issue should be a front and center issue for conservatives and Americans. That it isn’t is much like the canary in the mine. The canary is dead.

"Peera, who had to flee from his native East Africa after Idi Amin expelled its Asian population, does not easily intimidate and is extremely determined to fight property abuse in Alabama."

I wonder why he didn't stay and fight the injustices of Ida Amin?

Of all the places in the world he could have gone, he winds up in Montgomery, Alabama?

“It was more my dream house,’ he laments, ‘and the city tore it down ... It reminds me of how they used to mistreat black people in the Old South.’”

Actually, it’s much more like this.

My Mama was active in what is now called “civil rights” back when it was just called “the right thing to do.”

And this, in the city of my birth, is just plain injustice. Why isn’t Southern Poverty Law involved? Their offices are right in town.

HMM nowhere in the article is it mentioned that the Mayor’s office and city council are dominated by Liberal Lefty Democrats elected by these same people who are whining about how the city treats them.
