131. So Rosa Parks wasn't a victim of racism?
I think your problem is that you do not grok the semantics.

You are blaming the victims for complaining about oppression because they "broke the law". The laws themselves are crimes against humanity.

It is a pity that you do not see this and still accuse the OP of "whining"

That is shameful, I am sad to say.

You should be ashamed of yourself (and stop being so self righteous too)

Please?

It is terribly unseemly.

And Rosa Parks was not really making a statement. She was just tired and that was the only available seat and that was a f*cking crime. This man did not WANT to break any law, he wanted to bring hewasling to thew sick. Sure they knew there might be a price to pay fto the fascists, but doing the right thing was more important.

I''ve had this debate before: It peeves me when people say WELL if you violate and unjust law then you should willingly accept that you have commit a crime and do the time and be happy about it and quit whining.

That, to me, is BS.

If the law is a crime then breaking it is no crime and being pissed and hurt because fascists think it is is the natural and really only human response.

You should empathize not call him a whining self-created victim.

Nothing could be much further from the truth of this matter.
