On Rosa Parks' birthday, America still feels her worth

Rosa Parks' centennial birthday draws fresh attention to the black woman who, in the midst of Jim Crow segregation in Montgomery, Ala., refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white man.

Alabama was stronghold for democrats from 1868 up until and after the time of Rosa Parks. Ain't that something?

Feel her worth.

September 03, 1994 A man accused of breaking into civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks' house did not know she lived there, but recognized her once inside, police said Friday.

"He said:'Aren't you Rosa Parks?' She said,'Yeah,' and he went ahead and robbed her anyway," Detroit Police Investigator Daniel Budz said.

Yes, that was when the democrat party starting introducing civil rights into its platform and they all started turning to the republican party which still allowed them to practice their racism and bigotry...

history is fun!

an interesting part of this story is that Rosa Parks was not the first to refuse to give up her seat. not bya long shot.

she was the most marketable to do so by the civil rights movement. previously, some men had done hte same, but they would have been seen as headstrong blackmen (read: uppity ____). then a young lady did the same just before Parks, but she was an unwed mother, and that wouldn't play well in the public eye. then Rosa parks came along...a marketers dream...

The (D)emocRAT party started the KKK.
(R)epublicans like (R)Lincoln freed the slaves.
Ain't it funny (D)Obama and all these welfare blacks are (D)emonNAZI sheople and parrots ?

Two points, Sol:

1-Rosa Parks is a true American hero.
2-Gofuckyourself.

The law that Rosa Parks broke, was a law made by and enforced by the democrats of Alabama. Ain't that somethin'?.

Rosa Parks is a true African hero.

Leave America out of it. Blacks do everything else. They want it to be only black....NAACP, African beauty pagent, Black Music Awards, BET, Martin Luther King Jr Birthday, Black history month and on and on.

It was Bull Connor, a member of the Democrat National Committee, who turned the hoses on the marchers in Birmingham, and it was the Republicans who made up the majority that passed the 1964 Civil Rights Act, over the filibuster of such Democrat paragons as William Fulbright and Al Gore Sr.- and Grand Kleagle Byrd.

Democrats are gullible schmucks.

It was Nathan Bedford Forrest, a Democrat, who founded the Ku Klux Klan.
