I went on a field trip with my fourth grade daughter to Montgomery today. The real reason was to see if there were any hot moms on the bus (sadly disappointed) but also because I was happy she wanted me to go instead of her mom. Little one and I share a fascination with history.
One of the visits we made was to the Rosa Parks museum. Very nice presentation. But what I learned was certainly not what they intended to convey.
My perception of that piece of history was that Rosa was a poor, tired black woman, a laborer who just finally decided she wasn't going to get up. That's the story that's been spun over the years.
As the presentation clearly explained that version of the event could not be further from the truth.
Rosa Parks was an agitator. She was a leader in the Montgomery NAACP. She was already active in the black church movement, was very familiar with King. She wasn't a random tired black woman who was just too exhausted to get up.
Ok, so I can accept that the sit down was a pre-planned and calculated event. I can even accept that she probably tried the same thing on several buses before she finally found a bus driver willing to go full retard and get the police involved. I can deal with the fact that everything that came after was already in motion, just waiting on the day when she was arrested.
But here's what I can't accept. Who orchestrated the thing.
Her own papers and associations show that Parks (and King and the rest) were deeply involved with the communist/socialist movement. In fact, Parks had spent several weeks at a communist/socialist retreat immediately before she was too tired to give up her seat.
As I stood there and saw the evidence, heard people in their own words casually discuss their associations "up north" -- associations with communists and socialists -- it dawned on me. Like a ton of bricks.
There never was a true Civil Rights Movement. What we saw, was instead, the revolution. it was a different kind of revolution but if you look around today, there's no question the revolution occurred. And America lost.
Through the CRM, socialism had expanded exponentially. The Civil Rights Movement created a climate of fear and dependence.
From it grew the current political correctness where every syllable is judged against its potential to offend. If you look back at the history of this country, our greatest leaders were those who weren't afraid to offend. That person doesn't exist any longer. If he does, he's shouted down by the socialists.
What happened to the CRM? It was never about equal rights, it was always, always about equal outcomes. Where are equal outcomes theoretically possible? Capitalism? Democracy? No. Socialism.
The leaders of this so-called movement, at the behest of socialist and communists, used Rosa parks to start a revolution. It's still going on to a degree, but for all practical purposes it's over. We didn't even see it happening right under our noses.
I'm pretty sick.

“Oh you Americans! You’re so gullible! We’ll spoon feed you socialism until you’re Communists and don’t even know it. We’ll never have to fire a shot!"
"Like it not, history is on our side. We will bury you!"
Comments made in the 60's and pretty much ringing true today.

A number of people at our tailgate can tell you some stories about what happened over the course of that year in Montgomery that you won't hear about in any museum.

I'd always heard stories. But to see it displayed (and displayed proudly) at her museum even while the barely literate "too gwides" spun the familiar fantasy of the tired and downtrodden lowly seamstress finally getting fed up was really eye opening.

That appears to be right behind where the new Foy is. I was over there for the Kentucky game. Saw some old dude with wrinkly nuts running around screaming "I'm on the gus bus, I'm on the gus bus!" slapping his own ass. That wasn't you was it?
-
So, I get on Donahue then make a left?

I guess that would depend on which way you get on Donahue.
Corn nuggets and drinks will be flowing at Niffers Friday night but I think we, or atleast parts of we will be at the tailgate spot pretty early. I know the Warden will be there by 6.

Ate a Kahuna Burger at Niffers Tuesday. Best hamburger I have ever had in my life.
Rosa Parks would have gotten her old ass up and off the bus if the driver had just volunteered to give her a Kahuna Burger for her trouble.
