Rest in peace Rosa Well I'm certainly glad they're not anymore Racism will always be around, unfortunately. It's just that it was sort of state-sponsored for the most part back in the days, and things really got ugly. Nowadays, it might be someone calling somebody a "n-----" or something like that, or a restaurant like Denny's refusing service to black customers, or harrassment in the workplace. Well, actually it's not all that much different than in the old days. In the old days, you complained about racism, you got your ass beat near to death... Today, you get discriminated against, you have the courts to back you up... I guess that's it... Not meaning to hijack this thread or it'll end up in Speaker's Corner...

sid 1 #14 October 25, 2005 When I lived in Arkansas and had a small radio show on KABF, I had the honor of meeting Rosa Parks very briefly. While the story of her "bus adventure" as she referred to it, was not quite as simple as it is now portrayed, it is hard to fathom the sheer fucking courage that act must have taken. As others have also mentioned she was very sweet, she also glowed... literally made the room brighter when she walked in ......... Certain people make the world a better place by simply being in it, Rosa Parks was one such being. Bless you and thank youPete Draper, Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Courage to do what we know in our heart is right. ~~~A small Black Woman... had the Courage and Conviction, to actually Change The World! At a place in time where the 'odds' against her doing that are incalculatable... Gives me a glimmer of insight....and hope...for what the REST of could do! ~Thank You Rosa Parks. ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
