Rosa Parks Statue Erected

Rosa Parks IS NOT "the first lady of civil rights"

Claudette Colvin: The 15-year-old who came before Rosa Parks

In March 1955, nine months before Rosa Parks defied segregation laws by refusing to give up her seat to a white passenger on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama, 15-year-old Claudette Colvin did exactly the same thing. Eclipsed by Parks, her act of defiance was largely ignored for many years.

Yet Parks gets a statue..BULLSHIT


Statue is being put up for the wrong person!

It's safe to say that the southern states seceding did so because they felt the laws being forced upon them were unjust. My original post addressed that concept. How are the southern states seceding because they opposed unjust laws wrong if Rosa Parks doing the same is OK?

What laws, just or unjust, were in place to stop the Southern states from seceding? The Southern states did not believe they were breaking a law, they thought they were exercising a right as outlined in the Declaration Of Independence. Unlike Rosa Parks who wanted to undo an unjust law the South wanted to divorce themselves from the Union. They did not believe there was any law or rule stopping them.

BTW, only those without a complete shred of knowledge of American history prior to the War Between the States attempt to make the claim the South was populated by traitors. I ask, is Britain to be considered committing an act of treason for wanting to opt out of the European Union? How is the act of secession of the South different from Britexit?

It isn't about laws in place to stop the South from seceding. It was the laws in place the South used as the reason why they seceded. The Southern States weren't breaking the law seceding. They were using the very same concepts the colonists used when they declared independence. The difference is those supporting what the colonists did as acceptable consider the Southern states doing the same thing as treason.
 
Anyone who equates the South's reasons for secession with Rosa Parks sitting down is an idiot.

The South had no just reason to secede, and the North murdered it for treason: so very good.

Then why was no Confederate tried for treason? Many of the high command of the Confederate troops had been high ranking members of the Union Army who "deserted" their commands and became Confederate soldiers.

And for the record I don't think what Rosa Parks did was unlawful. You have to admire her courage at a time when a black person could have been murdered with no repercussions.

Read any good history books on the run up to the War Between The States lately. No, I didn't think so because you are about as ignorant of history as any man could possibly be.

None of them committed treason.

The laws at the time disagree with your opinion. It doesn't take courage to break laws. It takes being a criminal.

Sure she did. She was forced to sit in the back of the bus. Can you imagine how humiliating that had to be for anyone? Would you have simply understood it was your lot in life that you had to be treated like a second class citizen simply because of your skin color. I certainly don't blame her for what she did.

Since EE has claimed he knows where I am and posted a picture he claims is me, why do you think he hasn't shown and tried to put into practice his tough guy talk? He said I shouldn't ask for things because I might get them. I asked and he ran like a pussy which is exactly what I expected from him.

Prove you're a coward just like you fuck buddy EE.
 
Maybe if you beg nicely your toxic gf will come along and quote your unread drivel for you. :laugh:

And just as I commanded the little cunt to do, she proved exactly what I told her to prove.
 
Took Republicans to get this done I see. Takes a long time to undue the racism of Democrats that ruled this state.

It took a strong amount of courage for a black woman to refuse to give up her seat to a white in the 1950's south. She was an extraordinary woman and should be a role model for anyone being abused by the system.

Criminals aren't role models and she was a criminal. It doesn't take courage to commit a crime.
