Rosa Parks was arrested 30+ other times...

You're making a comparison between Rosa Parks and a guy arrested 34 times. Cool story.

We will note.....you were too cowardly to actually address me or any of my points so you decided to put on a little outfit and just be a cheerleader.

I made two points. You addressed one and the Parks example addresses the position of "just do what you are told".

Those who say that (like yourself perhaps it would seem) don't actually believe that. You are afraid to state what you are actually thinking.

The truth is these " so-called civil rights activists" referred to by the OP DO NOT represent the Left but the truth is rarely if ever of concern to the righties who just enjoy baseless whining, eh?

So sprites the one who ignored everything I posted in my original post; you've yet to adequately respond to that, yet continue to spew double stranded based nonsense. By the way, I directly addressed your first post in this thread. Cheers.

That fact that any of these posters would link what happened on Staten Island to Rose Parks is a disgrace and shows just how low they will stoop in their efforts to divide the races and pushed a false, racialized narrative.

I responded to your post. You didn't address any of it.

You didn't address my post.

Its funny how people do not even understand the flaws in their own argument. The argument wasn't that Garner should have complied. The argument was that everyone should comply.

About as ignorant a statement as Nancy Pelosi's, "We can find out what is in it....."
