Rosa Parks

I'm sad about Rosa Parks.
I'm annoyed about her portrayal in the media. They make her sound like a frump who refused to get up because she was just too darn tired. The woman was an activist well before she took the famous bus ride. She knew what she was doing. She committed a conscious political act
I have to avoid contact with television news today. If I have to hear the Nitwit in Chief or Condiliar "I'm fighting for whitey" Rice hold forth on Rosa Parks in an effort to exploit her death, well, I might just blow a fuse.
