Serious question.

If she was white, would she be a hero?

Rosa Parks wasn't the first, or even second black woman to refuse to give up her seat, and her whole experience on that bus was essentially planned, and the reason she became famous was because the black civil rights leaders were waiting on the next opportunity to publicize it.

Parks just happened to be the one who was the "next one".

Rosa Parks was the secretary for E.D. Nixon, who was looking for a case to take to the Supreme Court.

I wonder why she did this now? I mean, if she was so disgusted and disappointed with the flag and what it represents, why not take it down last month? Or March? Or last year or the year before that?


Ooooh that's right, she's an attention whore who only wants her name in the papers because this is the current hot button issue that will pass over in a week.

Really?

Which event was that?


I didn't know he brought a flag with him to the shooting (honestly saying here, not scarastic).



Oh, it was the fact that there were pictures in his life and in these pictures there were objects, and in these pictures all of the focus went to the confederate flag, which was only one symbol amongst many?

That is the recent event? Might as well deem the make and model of his car as being one that racists prefer if that is the claim.

You're being pretty obtuse, IMO.

I am going to be so proud to be from the South when that flag is still flying majestically when the Tigers go to Cola in October.

My gosh this is spot on.

It's a shame she didn't fall and impale herself on the top of the fence in pic 3 and 4. Now that would have been a good story

The make and model of his car doesn't have obvious implications for his attitudes about race. But we both know you already know that.
