Civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks dead at 92

[Josh]

or whatever that was about.

Well, I guess thats as good a reason to lose respect for someone as important as ROSA FUCKING PARKS as any.

[ChaoofNee]

I thought she was dead, already.
We're losing so many good ones this year...
EDIT: By "ones" I mean "PEOPLE." Now, shut up.

Yeah, when I heard about this a few minutes ago I said "... Rosa Parks was still alive?"

[Rhydant]

Yeah, I thought she died awhile ago, too.

RIP Rosa.

Her grave stone should have a picture of her stomping on bus, godzilla style.

- thats funny to you?

I lost a lot of respect for Rosa when she was trying to get money out of Outkast for using her name.

That was more her family (caretakers & lawyers) were responsible for that, Ms. Parks was already in her late 80's when this occured, she did not listen to rap music and had no idea her named was being used in a song.

[dave is ok]

She didnt pionneer shit, I hate people that credit her with starting the civil rights movement.

I think she gave the movement some steam, and as a result of her actions they found a leader when MLK started the bus boycott. But Emmett Till was a bigger story at the time, happened 5 months before Rosa Parks, and now no one even knows who he is. It's a fucking tragedy.

I can't believe this thread. Expected something more somber. Then again most black people don't care. I heard someone compare Rosa Parks impotance to Rodney KIng this morning.

Rodney fucking King.

Anyway RIP Rosa. Did more for all people today than many asswipes will ever do in their lives.
