I just don't think that way. Hitler's actions didn't make the man evil any more than Park's actions made her a criminal. That's all I'm saying.
But, I mean that's just wrong.
Look at the definition of criminal:
–noun
6. a person guilty or convicted of a crime.
Rosa Parks is a person. She committed a crime. She was convicted of that crime.
She just is without a doubt a criminal.
Now evil:
–adjective
1. morally wrong or bad; immoral; wicked:
How do we know if something is morally wrong? We just can't So we can't claim anything to be evil Besides subjective morals. And that's not what I am arguing about in that thread.
It's nothing to argue about, the term "criminal" applies to Rosa Parks. The term evil is not really possible to apply to anyone or anything for lack of knowledge about the definition.

As you said before, 2+2=4, because we've decided it was so. Just as I'm sure the people who made a law about a certain ethnic group sitting in the back of the bus would consider a black person who refuses to do so:
They might consider her to be but it is not accepted or generally defined as that. The difference is we, that we post here while speaking English agreed to use the English language to explain our thoughts, your refusal of one part of the English language weirds me out, to be honest.

That's okay, I weirded you out when I said I was a fascist. I'm used to weirding you out.
