HOWARD, thanks for showing us how classless and void of any coherent thought patterns one can be. It must really suck to be so filled w/ irrational hatred that you can't even leave one thread alone which honors a true American hero.

RIP, Rosa. At least some of us learned from your example.

There is I assure you NOTHING irrational
about anything I have stated.

As I have stated the tasteless offence is
to associate the criminal Reagan and his
criminal regime that supported precisely
the racism Mrs Parks fought against.

All you care about is official heroes you
have NO appreciation for the substance
of content.

You have not disproven a single fact that I
have stated for every fact I have stated is
beyond all reasonable doubt and backed up
by a mountain of hard evidence.

It is utterly sickening to speak of Ronald
Reagan a backer of South Africa's Apartheid
and wars against three other African nations
in the same breath as Rosa Parks.

It is not I who is driven by hate or irrational
mindset but YOU and your fellow ignorant ultra
reactionaries.

You appreciate and get nothing about the
substance of the Civil Rights Movement.

If you did you would have no truck with anyone
tasteless enough to admire, praise or laud
Ronald Reagan whose administration murdered
300,000 people in Central American. Armed proxy
wars in Africa that killed at least 3 million
people and did all they the Reaganites could to
maintain the racist regime in South Africa.

YOU PEOPLE HAVE NO MORAL RIGHT TO PRETEND TO
ADMIRE ROSA PARKS.

YOU CARE NOTHING FOR WHAT THE CIVIL RIGHTS
MOVEMENT STOOD FOR AND WAS ABOUT.

NOR THE FACT THAT REAGAN ROLLED BACK AND
DISSOLVED MANY OF THE GAINS OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS
MOVEMENT.

You people are a disgrace to name of the
American people!!

It was precisely people like you who stood
screaming "nigger!" and "commie!" from the
sidewalk back in the day!!

What you have stated may or may not be accurate; that is not the point. What you have done is hijacked a thread in an inappropriate way, which is tasteless. This is a thread to honor Rosa, not discuss Reagan's impact on the civil rights legacy. If you wanted to do that, you should have started another thread, titled (appropriately enough) "Reagan/Clinton civil rights legacy," and gone on from there.

I don't know, you sound pretty hateful to me right here.

You useless, baseless, ignorant little troll.

My class just finished To Kill a Mockingbird, and one of the ways I set it up is to show them pictures of life for blacks in the 1930's, and then show then what happened during the 1960's, and ask them to reflect on the way things are in America now. Rosa Parks' actions on that bus helped race relations in more ways than you could possibly imagine. It led to the bus boycott that, among other things, convinced a 26-yr old preacher to take charge of the civil rights movement (a preacher that is one of my personal heros- I too, have a dream). Because later leaders weren't the shining light that they could have been gives you no right to come into this thread and take respect away from the one person that deserves it more than so many others. You make me sick.

Actually, I think you just disgraced many British folk by your words in this thread. If you can't show respect to the dead, you don't deserve any yourself.

Oh? Which makes them worse than you, who scream "death to Israel!" and "fascist!" in every thread? You sir, have zero social skills.

Thanks also for the stereotypical attempted character assasination. You truly have no clue , and it shows.

Sir:

You have no moral right to tell me who I can or can not admire. You don't know me.

I probably care as much or more about the legacy of the civil rights movement than most, seeing as how neither my marriage nor my children would exist if the old barriers hadn't been broken by couragious souls like Rosa Parks.

And trust me, fewer persons have a lower opinion of Ronald Reagan than I do; but that ain't the point. That you and I seem to agree on this point is unimportant, that others disagree with you on this point is unimportant, compared to the massive disrespect you are showing both the late Rosa Parks and all others posting on this thread. This thread ain't about Reagan!

You are, I am afraid, a living example of Niven's Sixteenth Law: There is no cause so right that one cannot find a fool following it.
