The Montgomery Bus Boycott was a well-planned operation, using many different dry-runs.
Colvin's arrest was one of those dry-runs. It proved that the drivers were willing to actually enforce the law.
The Baton Rouge Bus Boycott of 1953 was to prove that the organization of rides would work and that sympathetic whites might even help out. ( Background of Baton Rouge Bus Boycott)
But, the game was in Montgomery. It had to be in Montgomery, as that city was where the Confederacy was created. Baton Rouge would never have had the same.
And, knowing that she would be arrested means that Rosa Parks was more brave than the narrative makes her.
JMHO.

Maybe now, but in 1982, in Montgomery County Alabama, public & private schools taught students that Rosa Parks was no more than I tired secretary sitting in the front. I didn’t learn she was a plant until years later, and I some hard core states right history teachers.

Interesting. Never heard of this.

Never learned about her in my public education either. Found out about her story after reading some article after I graduated

It doesn’t need to be taught in schools to be common knowledge.
But I guess I was wrong to call it common knowledge. Seems like it is to me I guess because I live in Alabama. I’ve known the real story since college in the early 90’s, and I guess I assumed most other people did.

Rosa Parks was a plant, sort of an entrapment type of setup.

It’s a weird thing, I’m obviously happy with the results of Rosa Park’s story and agree with the intent.
But then we have the poop swastikia and Jussie Smollett combined with numerous other false flags and you wonder how much is organic vs forced change.
I think it goes back to the fact that a progressive always feels like they have to be moving things forward and when they run out of “bad things” to fix, they have to start making them up.
You go full circle to making that first paragraph feel real questionable with the others

It's a fact that 9 months before Rosa Parks' incident a black teenager was arrested for and sued the police and city over the same issue. The NAACP dropped her case because she was a pregnant black teen and not a good image.
AND… the father of this pregnant teen was a white man. A white man loved this oppressed young black girl.

Some people are "offended" by factual information.
Sorry, snowflakes. Truth is what it is.

For people who did legit research into the Civil Rights movement, it is common knowledge. If your entire knowledge comes from what you learned in school, then you wouldn't know of her.
The truth is, the NAACP did Claudette dirty. However, at the same time, they were right. If a 15 year old pregnant black girl was the face of the movement, it would never have been taken seriously.

It would be difficult to objectively say black people are better off today than they were prior to the civil rights movement. That is unfortunate, for sure.
It wouldn't be difficult at all. I went to a college, made a lot of white friends. I graduated from this predominantly white school. Now I have a job where my boss is white. And everything is great, and I have never experienced any racism in the office. Experienced minute racism in college, but that was only once.
I have talked to my grandparents, great aunt's and uncle's, and other elderly people while I could over their lives in the 40s, 50s, and 60s. Black people have it better today, and there is no question about it.

Honest answer please.
What is the percentage of black people who would be "offended" by your statement? How many would label you "Uncle Tom"?
You are obviously educated and a free thinker. These are traits blacks routinely attack other blacks for displaying.
