I agree that the R.I.P. statements were beyond the realm of lame. As I agree that shallow comments and fake sympathy are disrespectful as well as annoying. However, I also believe that some people's lives (very few indeed) are worth remembering.
This forum is filled with teenagers and many people so uniformed about the world that they hould not be allowed to walk the streets without a helmet never mind be allowed to graduate from a school. Therefore I think that this would be a good opportunity to educate some of these people who are posting R.I.P. yet have no clue about what they're commenting about rather than get into a competition in who can say either the dumbest or most offensive thing.
Look at me being all serious. But that's how I feel about the issue.

I had no idea that they moved the sign on her. Thanks for that link Bardock.
I like wikipedia. I can just go around the site, learning many new things on so many various topics.
She did not only sit on her bus. She was part of the movement. She does not have to be shot to be called a person who was involved in the civil rights movement.
Also notice Kidrock never responded to our question on how she is a criminal. Ignorance at its best. Calls himself American bad-ass and knows nothing about its history.

You contradict your own beliefs, with this statement. I hope you can figure this one out. I know you can....

You believe that my comments were shallow or the sympathy were fake?
Or you believe that my comment about the uniformed teenagers/people was dumb or offensive?
Kharma, sorry...didn't see your last post.
I'm saying it's contradictory because you expect a vast majority of this lot to offer anything except false sympathy.
I'm saying it's contradictory because you say "look at me being all serious"...when you yourself were the one who said we shouldn't be making jokes. So, you should stand by that. Perhaps it isn't a thread for jokes.
But, beyond that, how about she's laying in state beneathe the capitol dome?! WTF? Mr. President! What happened in New Orleans has happened!...can't change that. And letting her lay in state isn't going to make that huge **** up go away! If I was Mrs Parks, I'd be spinning in that coffin under the capitol.
And if I was black, I'd be insulted at such an insincere action.

I made the "look at me being all serious" comment because I thought that often I am the smartass and it was suprising me that I was being so very serious on this forum.
As for her lying under tthe capital dome, I find it to be a bit staged. But that's to be expected from this admin.

It wasn't courage. She didn't want to sit in the back because there were black people there. Just look at her quote when asked politely to move to the back of the bus, "buts, sir, them be some negroes back there! I's done wants my purse took."
