WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Rosa Parks, the black seamstress whose refusal to give her seat on a Montgomery, Alabama, bus to a white man sparked a revolution in American race relations, has died at age 92, CNN reported on Monday.
I swear I know how to link stuff.

Wow. That sucks. She was a good one, even if she did go after Outkast. 
↓His opinion is ****.↓
She was a great woman and will be remembered forever.

Haha, I still remember her suing Outkast.
Looks like that settlement money didn't do her much good after all.
On a serious note, even if she only did it because she was tired, what she sparked was still a great thing.
Now if something like that could just be started for the gay equal rights movement.

92 years old? Holy sh[b][/b]it the girl probably didn't even remember what made her famous.
Thank you Rosa for getting me a half day off work. I was working on a Rosa Parks school a couple years ago and the owner of the company for some reason did not think I knew who she was. He told me that if I could tell him who Rosa Parks was I could take the rest of the day off paid. It was a nice afternoon at the beach that day. 
It is sad to see her die, but at 92 years old it is not like she died early.

I wonder if she's going to have her coffin parked at the white folks cemetary and not allow it to be moved until she can be buried there?
too early?
too early?
Something about her riding at the front of the hearse would have been better.
It's amazing how just one person's bravery could impact so much. God bless you miss Parks.

Whiney ******* like you should be tied to a fence post in the prarie and beaten.
Wow...when the hell did Rosa Parks get DeathStars?

I wonder if she'll still be talked about in 100 years. Sort of that historical figure that you read about and usually gets exagerrated over time. Perhaps not so much now given the Information Age in which we live and the historical documentation is much better, but still it would be interesting to see the light she's painted in several generations from now.

Overated? I hope not I spent 500 dollars just for a original picture of the Bus ticket she used that day. She is like the Babe Ruth of Public Transportation users...

No.
She was a woman who was too tired and just onery enough to tell a fat, white bus driver to go to hell. Was that brave of her? Sure. Should she be applauded for it? Sure. But it's not like she was Jesus Christ parting the Red Sea.
No, not horny

Some people are like slinkies, they aren't really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs.

Rosa Parks was a great Alabamian.
I bet she made really good pie.

I wonder if she is giving Saint Peter any shi[/u]t for having to wait in the back of the line.

While I agree the gays should have 100% equal rights with all other americans, the comparison between the 1960 civil rights movement and the current gay movement is like night and day.

I'm hoping the second statement was intentional irony.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

Don't want to move? Too bad, Satan doesn't play that way.
STAB, pitchfork in the eye, just like that, *****. Now get in the ******* back of the hell bus with Stalin, where you belong.

I listened to an old interview with her this morning. Some stories led people to believe that she didn't get up because her feet hurt from working on them all day. She said that wasn't the case at all, but that she didn't get up because she had decided to make her stand. Other activists before her had already tried this, it wasn't even really an original idea.
It may have just been the right time in the right place, but Rosa undeniably a very special human being. She was extremely soft spoken but reportedly had the inner strength of a lion. She and her husband had been committed activists before this event and she continued fighting for equal rights afterwards.
So, yes had she given up her seat that day her name would not likely be a historical one. She would still, however, have been a hero.
RIP
