  • Actaully Rosa Parks, if you listen to an interview of her, was tired and didn't want to give up her seat. Not quite as noble as your history book puts it. But it still started a movement.

  • lol they kept the same furniture and food until now

  • @cortchubbby I can not believe you. All you are is a racist jerk who needs to get a life. I pray that God helps you and continues to help you through your hardened heart!

  • @Sistarovat - I don't believe it's a case that whites didn't go and "sit-in" but at the time, the white population had (and some still have) a sense of entitlement that they could go and do as they pleased. The media was extremely biased to white rights and when blacks "acted out" they were either imprisoned or beaten then imprisioned. Look at Rosa Parks who was imprisioned and fined just because she didn't want to give up her seat and felt she shouldn't.

  • I think what the men and women did during The Civil Rights movement was incredible. @Cortchubby it wasn't just blacks that protested in the Montgomery Bus Boycott, it wasn't just blacks that believed their rights were violated, but some of our forefathers believed the same. However, it is people who are of the same mind set as you that cause hate where there should be love and understanding.

  • The blacks that mess things up should be made into windchimes. The black community needs to stop blaming everyone else for their shortcomings.

  • So all Blacks shouldnt be able to go somewhere because some Blacks like to mess things up. Thats stupid! There are white people that mess things up too. You cant put everyone in a box. Haha...well the people with the ignorant comments, Maybe if whites didnt still Blacks from their own land we wouldnt be here messing all of your stuff (built on stolen land) up.

  • @ThyJovan Pride and equality have nothing in common. Why would whites want to go into the black quarters when they had their own restaurants to go to?

  • @cortchubbby No, I don't need examples, you're generalising is what sickens me, you need to change pal.

    I thought you were some dumbass troll but you're just one of the ones we lost.

  • @ThyJovan dont think so? Look at Detroit and Chicago. Then you tell me.
