Rosa Parks was the TRAINED Civil Rights activist who REENACTED the events that took place when the AVERAGE Black woman Claudette Colvin refused to give up her seat on the bus because HER feet hurt.
Claudette didnt become pregnant until the summer afterwards. theNAACP didn’t want to use Claudette because she was poor, dark skinned and her father was and alcoholic. they felt white people wouldn’t sympathize with her. stop trying to clean up history
Wayament what?!
Let’s hear it from Ms. Colvin herself:
“When asked why she is little known and why everyone thinks only of
Rosa Parks, Colvin says the NAACP and all the other black organizations
felt Parks would be a good icon because “She was an adult. They didn’t
think teenagers would be reliable.”
She also says Parks had the right hair and the right look. “Her skin texture was the kind that people associate with the middle class,” says Colvin. “She fit that profile.”
Also, there were other black women who refused to give up their seats but were “quietly fined.” Unfortunately, their stories never made headlines. (source)
Y'all said colorism in the black community doesn’t have a huge negative impact on us
Nicki Minaj’s brother raped SEVERAL girls under 13 and theres video PROOF and she stilled bailed him out? He owns a fucking daycare and raped girls in his car after dropping her name to get them to get in the car. She’s fucking trash, i don’t care if thats your uncle, your daddy or your brother you don’t bail rapists out of fucking jail. But i’m sure everyone is going to sleep on this shit.
That’s so fucked … I have strong opinions on sexually assault. Never thought nicki would.
I continuously have those sudden urges to make changes in my life around 3:00am but then procrastination , depression and anxiety comes and kicks me down like “Bitch , you tried it”
