62 Years ago.....Rosa Parks arrested

[BulletProof]

Civil Rights activists broke assembly and segregation laws imposed by those who restricted their right to vote

Blacks in Jim Crow United States faced restrictions on freedom far worse than our founding fathers faced

Which is worse is subjective and irrelevant. Rosa Parks broke the law and it was no immorality on her part to obey the law. She could have fought to change the law without breaking the law. Rosa Parks was free to boycott the bus and speak out against the law. The Revolutionaries weren't free to boycott British control. In fact, their "crime" was boycotting British control.

Civil Rights laws are not bans on legislated discrimination. Civil Rights laws are bans on personal and First Amendment freedoms, and often carry with them de facto legislated discrimination.

The CR activists broke unjust, unconstitutional laws that deprived them of equal rights and due process.

They with the aid of the federal and state enemies drove their enemies before them, and we still their enemies' weeping, such as Bulletproof, fifty and sixty years later.

That is sweet must to the ears of patriots.

In other words, you think people should feel free to disobey laws with which they disagree with. Please teach your fellow shitheads that. Don't pay taxes. Etc.

I never thought I’d see you post anything that paints democrats in a bad light, rightwinger.

Over the last 100 years, Republicans have stood up for African Americans while Democrats not only stood on the sidelines, but in fact served as obstructionists to civil liberties.

Here are at least 12 examples in which Democrats voted against African Americans, and Republicans voted to free them:

Democrats voted against every piece of civil rights legislation in Congress from 1866 to 1966 – a whopping 100 years. That is a dismal record for today's Democrats who would like you to believe that history has been on their side on this issue.

It hasn't.
Before Charlottesville, Democrats voted for racist policies for more than 100 years

Yup she sure did break the law and paid her fine

The boycott brought the bus company to its knees, as did lunch counter demonstrations and other boycotts

Civil Rights laws restricted Government and public businesses from engaging in discrimination.

Our founding fathers attempted boycotts of tea but it was ineffective. They ended up resorting to violence, which Civil Rights Patriots managed to avoid

Save us from your partisan propaganda

It was racist, Southern CONSERVATIVES both Democratic AND Republican that opposed Civil Rights.

Northern Democrats supported Civil Rights legislation and the Civil Rights Law was signed by a Democrat

Tycho, the GOP has done nothing for the African American race since it joined as the minor partner in the rights acts of 1964 and 1965.

You know that, yet you lie.

Name one significant thing the GOP has done for Blacks since the Southern Strategy was completed. I'm all ears.

That means you can say what the GOP has done for blacks in the last 50 years?

Quite a woman

62 years ago today Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat. 5 facts about her

She was an activist. Parks was a seamstress by trade, but was deeply active in the NAACP and Montgomery Improvement Association, working to improve civil rights in her community. Her Dec. 1 action of refusing to give her seat in the black section of the bus to a white man was calculated, but not planned for that time. "I got on it to go home," Parks has said.

Parks knew the bus driver. The driver was James Blake, who had a reputation for treating black passengers without dignity. More than a decade earlier, Blake stopped Parks from entering the front of the bus, telling her to use the back entrance, then sped away before she got on.

Parks' arrest was supposed to spark a one-day boycott. Activist E.D. Nixon, who was president of Montgomery's NAACP chapter, led the effort to turn Parks' arrest into a one-day boycott. It was such a success that it transformed into a broader boycott until buses were desegregated, or black people were treated better.

It lasted more than a year — and helped galvanize the Civil Rights Movement. After Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., made a speech at Holt Street Baptist Church asking people to join in the fight against segregation, nearly 20,000 passengers boycotted Montgomery’s buses regularly for the 381 days it lasted, and by the end of the boycott — after some bus lines shut down routes to black neighborhoods because they could no longer sustain the costs — more than 40,000 regular riders of the buses were no longer on them.

Was you there?

Do blacks have any black heroes who aren't criminals?

Shaft...

Rosa Parks is one of my many inspirations for fighting against legalized abortion.

King was a phony who rose to fame on the backs of real civil rights heroes like Rosa Parks.

Such is the stupidity, hate, and racism of the reprehensible right.

Civil Rights measures prevent you and other hateful rightwing bigots and racists from seeking to discriminate based on race, religion, and ethnicity through force of law.

More than 100 years of democrat party abuse and racism in the state of Alabama. From the 1870's to the 1980's every Alabama governor was a democrat.

Business when offering goods and services to the public as a whole are not private in that regard.

So, yes, under the commerce clause and the 14th Amendment, business can be regulated for the good of We the People.
