Care to answer or respond in any way?
Or are you just going to ignore it because you have no real way of doing so without shooting yourself in the foot?

You're right. She simply thought "I'm not moving. If you want this seat, you have to move me."
... and she made a silent statement on basic human rights.
It might be insensitive for me to ask this question, but did she do anything else with her life to help the Civil Rights cause?
... maybe you'd like it better if she thrashed the police and hateful white people with her bag of groceries, did a backflip, and hovered in the air like Trinity from the Matrix.
... if you ever help to launch the true emancipation of a race by simply being yourself, you let me know. And I think it's sick for you to trivialize her contribution to human kind.
I mean she is a symbol, no doubt, but I'm not sure i'm ready to treat her like a hero.
I wish Black America could be so luck to have a symbol like her today..... Someone who's willing to go to jail rather than be bullied and pushed aside. Our symbols today are symbols of success that Rosa Parks opened a door for. If our symbols today were half as strong, we'd have a much better definition of who we are and where we are going.
Thank you, Rosa Park.

Ok, i'm right.

It's sick for me to trivialize a trivial act? She didn't do it for "human kind"; she did it because her legs were tired. I would be so lucky to make the news after I die for that. I don't think they give out medals to ladies who disobey police offers these days.
I asked a question, and as far as I know nobody has replied to it. Again, as far as I know Rosa Parks did not do anything to follow up on her triumphant sitting.
Parks unintentionally contributed to the Civil Rights movement and people treat her like some kind of idol (key word being unintentionally). Honestly, the only other thing I know she did was make a fuss over that Outkast song that was made in tribute to her.

How about getting behind someone who intentionally strives for equal rights to all people?
With that said, her civil disobediance was the spark that the Civil Rights movement needed. On the list of the great people who fought for these rights and dedicated their lives to them, Rosa Parks would probably be last. For me anyway.
I'm not a bigot or racist; far from it. People just need to work a little bit to garner my respect. (Not that they need to. I'm just some guy. Like Rosa parks was just some lady at the right place and the right time.)
I don't consider her a legend or anything.
No disrespect intended to her or any of the other thousands of dearly departed who left us today. R.I.P.

How about you make me?...Big Man.I laugh at people like you. Let there be no misconception about my feelings on her actions. They were brave and they had a hand in changing America. I think she was fantastic. I think she was brilliant. One small act of diffiance turned into a continuation, with balls, of a movement. A decision by many members of a perseucted minority to get off their asses and make a difference in their own lives....rather than be the ****ing peasants and second class citizens life in this country implied.
You, and many like you, have no true respect for the brilliance...much less the sacrifice and guts, it took to do such a thing. When the time comes, are you willing to be beaten and jailed for yor convictions? I doubt it.
That's what bothers me about this thread. People with no balls proclaiming themselves to be sympathetic...no one needs your sympathy. Your action would be much more appreciated.
your racism is very petty... if you want to go through life slamming down the 'I'm black' card, then feel free.. but from what I know, people here are very honest about caring (they'll tell you flat out if they give a damn). Things dont have to affect someones race or religion or country for them to care. The people that do care, care because it affected the entire nations outlook on what we needed to change (and are still changing to this day). Should you feel that people arent allowed to partake in the awe of this change because of thier skin color.. thats just... stupid.. 😐

The reason she did it makes no difference to me. As a matter of fact, it means even more because she was just sitting down for what she believed in...
... that no one else had a greater right to sit in that seat than her. And I'm sure if you lived back then or understood this struggle, it would mean more to you.
I asked a question, and as far as I know nobody has replied to it. Again, as far as I know Rosa Parks did not do anything to follow up on her triumphant sitting.
I don't know, but IT DOESN'T MATTER... and I'm sure you won't understand that.

She's still on the list... and I say "good job"

Why?.... why in the wake of someones death would you say "eh, they weren't so great."?
... especially if you didn't know them and didn't have any idea where they were coming from or what they've been through.
To me it's selfish, egotistical, insensitive, and childish.
And, NOT A LEGEND? .... The story is taught to every american school child. It's not only a racial symbol. It's a symbol of what one person can do or inspire.
