How am I ignorant for saying I think she is overrated? Her refusing to move like millions of other blacks just sparked a movement but that is all she did. After that she joined the civil rights movement but that's it. Tell me something else.Originally Posted by HUYNHer

i think thats the most important thing. Sometimes all it takes is that spark for a person to be remembered. She sparked a movement like you stated which is that really mattersOriginally Posted by DMoney82

Defiance in the face of injustice is courageous and definitely noteworthy enough to signify reverance given their were hundreds of thousands more who were giving up their seats for years before that.Originally Posted by DMoney82
What did she really do besides show defiance ? There were thousands that refused to give up their seat and didn't get any recognition. Discuss

How did I point the finger at black people? All I said was that we need to do more. Stop trying so hard to make me seem like some fool.

At the time of her action, Parks was secretary of the Montgomery chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and had recently attended the Highlander Folk School, a Tennessee center for workers' rights and racial equality. Nonetheless, she took her action as a private citizen "tired of giving in". Although widely honored in later years for her action, she suffered for it, losing her job as a seamstress in a local department store. Eventually, she moved to Detroit, Michigan, where she found similar work. From 1965 to 1988 she served as secretary and receptionist to African-American U.S. Representative John Conyers.

Yes there were other ppl who didn't give up their seat that were with her and others here and there after and before but Rosa's act was chosen to be a rallying point during the movement for Civil Rights. Saying other ppl did it does not take away from the fact that she did. That's like saying MLK is overrated because Booker T. Washington talked about black ppl getting civil rights decades before him.
Also she did a whole lot of other stuff to help in the movement. You should educate yourself. Using the term "overrated" just shows how out of touch you are with this issue and why what she did was important.

And a lot of Professors in African American studies do make that point.
But not in a manner that is meant to take anything away from what she did
And her contributions.
I don't think it's so much as Dr. King being overrated as it is Brother Malik being underrated. I understand why though. It really is unfortunate how the later years of his life are virtually ignored by a majority of the education system. The demonization of him in his younger years simply overshadows his actions once he saw the NOI for what it really was... but that's another story for another time.Originally Posted by Patrick Bateman
[color= rgb(255, 0, 0)]MLK is overrated in my opinion. *shrugs*
Now brother Malcolm on the other hand.
