Civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks has died, Local 4 has learned.

Parks, 92, reportedly died around 7 p.m. Monday at St. John Hospital on Detroit's east side.

Parks' refusal to give up her bus seat to a white man in Montgomery, Ala., in 1955 landed her in jail and sparked a bus boycott that is considered the start of the modern civil rights movement. The bus is on display at the Henry Ford Museum, Dearborn.

Parks, was born Feb. 4, 1913, in Tuskegee, Ala. She lived in Detroit.

May she rest in peace.

Whenever I see or hear the name Rosa Parks, I think of the teenage girls from California who went with the parents of one of the girls back to the south...staying with relatives in Memphis, TENN.

One day, the girls wanted to go 'shopping' and so they were dropped off downtown and were told what buses to take to make the trip home.

Being used to riding school buses, when it came time to board the first bus, the girls hauled ass to the back of the bus and sat down and began chatting....or is that continuing to chat.

An older black woman in the seat in front of us turned around and said to us, "don't you chillin know y'all is supposed to be up front--now you git up there right now".

She sure spoiled the ride for us! The back of the bus was where all the bumps made you airborne! That was my first encounter in racial divides. When we got back to the relatives houses, we were complaining of that 'mean old woman who told us to get to the front of the bus'.

We were sat down and had some things explained to us. I was horrified because when I was in second grade my two best friends had been black twin girls. And as a teenager in southern california, I knew many mexican people, as well as japanese, and some germans.

Rosa Parks is a beatified saint of the defacto US federal religion, popularly known as Political Correctness. The modern civil rights movement is actually the American two-party system's process to grant federally guaranteed legal privileges, euphemistically referred to as civil rights, to the majority in exchange for votes. In other words, the federal civil rights movement is a massive-scale vote buying scam. In America, this vote-buying scam consists of a three-layer sandwich of interested parties:

1. The majority recipients of legal privilege - jews/women/blacks/hispanics/homosexuals/jews

2. The two-party system - republican & democrat

3. The deal-making brokers between the proletarian majority and the two-party system - bolshevik and zionist jews.

The PC religion is an invention of the deal brokers and is a popular rationalization for legal privileges granted to the proletarian majority. The PC religion is specifically designed to appeal to a super-majority of any populace. In that respect, PC is considered a universal basis of morality, as is also it's political equivalent euphemistically called democracy, and is exported around the world through mass-media propaganda as well as force of arms (Iraq).

You seriously think it's OK for a white majority to rule that a black minority can only ride at the back of the bus? Seriously?

I'm anti-nepotism (anti-racism) only when it involves government nepotism. A woman forced to ride in the back of a bus is a-okay if the bus is a private contractor bus. If the transportation in question is a city-owned bus, then I support her cause. However, Rosa Parks is not held up as a fighter against nepotism in government, she is heralded as a fighter FOR nepotism in government. Hence, her beatification by 2-party system toads as a PC heroine is crap.

By the way, the super-majority in this country are the 2-party-designated underprivileged, disadvantaged, and oppressed people. The American 2-party system has designated jews/women/blacks/hispanics/homosexuals/jews to be the people worthy of legal privileges. PC propaganda nonsense is designed specifically to rationalize legal privileges for the designated groups that constitute a super-majority of the voting populace. The fact that these designated special people are a super-majority of the voting populace is no mere coincidence.

Racism is essentially nepotism. Nepotism is okay and natural until it creeps into government. Nepotism in government is self-evidently bad. Nepotism gets a lot worse when a leviathan government with unlimited police force, tax-money, and law-making power backs it up with coercion and propaganda. Well guess what, the American two-party system promotes nepotism in the form of vote- buying directed at selected groups constituting the majority of voters. The 2- party system also backs-up it's vote-buying nepotism with PC propaganda. If you want to end noxious nepotism, then work to end the two-party system vote- buying schemes.

Rosa Parks was fighting for a differnt kind of government nepotism, nepotism based on class rather than race. All forms of government enforced nepotism are bad. Government sponsored nepotrism gets much worse when it gets a foothold in a government that has unlimited military force, unlimited tax-money, and unlimited law-making power, such as the current US fedgov under the 2-party system.
