Kanye West Called Rosa Parks a 'Plant'. At This Point, Why Are We Still Listening to Him?
Despite telling the world that he saw “good things about Hitler,” Kanye West apparently can’t find the good in civil rights icon Rosa Parks.
Kanye still cooning. Calls Rosa Parks a “Plant”
- Thread starter Dr. Truth
- Start date
Here we go…
when will yall stop giving attention to him though?
Damn 
Already posted. And stop giving attention
In this, Kanye West isn't quite wrong. Rosa Parks was a plant of sorts. Her reputation was impeccable and thus made her more of an endearing figure than a 15 year old girl.
I don't know whether it is true or not, but there was a rumor I heard, I have not confirmed it or whatever, but I heard a rumor that Claudette Colvin was pregnant.
A 15 year old pregnant black girl doesn't have the character to build a movement behind, however a married college graduate, Rosa Parks was exactly the person that a movement could be built behind
The Rosa Parks situation occurred on December 1st 1955 9 months after Claudette Colvin
Claudette Colvin
At age 15, on March 2, 1955 in Montgomery, Alabama, Claudette Colvin refused to give up her seat to a white woman. Colvin was motivated by what she had been learning in school about African American history and the U.S. Constitution. Note that this action took place just days after Black History Month.

Plant implies that she/ her situation was staged AND she / people used her reputation to advance a narrative that was not quite accurate.
The problem is, the situation was real, very real and the narrative was very accurate given the documented experiences of our people back then.
She wasn't a plant, per se, but she was propped up. If that makes sense.

Few people know the story of Claudette Colvin: When she was 15, she refused to move to the back of the bus and give up her seat to a white person — nine months before Rosa Parks did the very same thing.
Most people know about Parks and the Montgomery, Ala., bus boycott that began in 1955, but few know that there were a number of women who refused to give up their seats on the same bus system. Most of the women were quietly fined, and no one heard much more.
Colvin was the first to really challenge the law.
Now a 69-year-old retiree, Colvin lives in the Bronx. She remembers taking the bus home from high school on March 2, 1955, as clear as if it were yesterday.
The bus driver ordered her to get up and she refused, saying she'd paid her fare and it was her constitutional right. Two police officers put her in handcuffs and arrested her. Her school books went flying off her lap.
"All I remember is that I was not going to walk off the bus voluntarily," Colvin says.
It was Negro history month, and at her segregated school they had been studying black leaders like Harriet Tubman, the runaway slave who led more than 70 slaves to freedom through the network of safe houses known as the Underground Railroad. They were also studying about Sojourner Truth, a former slave who became an abolitionist and women's rights activist.
The class had also been talking about the injustices they were experiencing daily under the Jim Crow segregation laws, like not being able to eat at a lunch counter.
"We couldn't try on clothes," Colvin says. "You had to take a brown paper bag and draw a diagram of your foot ... and take it to the store. Can you imagine all of that in my mind? My head was just too full of black history, you know, the oppression that we went through. It felt like Sojourner Truth was on one side pushing me down, and Harriet Tubman was on the other side of me pushing me down. I couldn't get up."
Colvin also remembers the moment the jail door closed. It was just like a Western movie, she says.
"And then I got scared, and panic come over me, and I started crying. Then I started saying the Lord's Prayer," she says.
'Twice Toward Justice'
Now her story is the subject of a new book, Claudette Colvin: Twice Toward Justice.
Author Phil Hoose says that despite a few articles about her in the Birmingham press and in USA Today, and brief mentions in some books about the civil rights movement, most people don't know about the role Colvin played in the bus boycotts.
Hoose couldn't get over that there was this teenager, nine months before Rosa Parks, "in the same city, in the same bus system, with very tough consequences, hauled off the bus, handcuffed, jailed and nobody really knew about it."
He also believes Colvin is important because she challenged the law in court, one of four women plaintiffs in Browder v. Gayle, the court case that successfully overturned bus segregation laws in Montgomery and Alabama.
There are many reasons why Claudette Colvin has been pretty much forgotten. She hardly ever told her story when she moved to New York City. In her new community, hardly anyone was talking about integration; instead, most people were talking about black enterprises, black power and Malcolm X.
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.

Claudette Colvin - The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks
As a teenager, Claudette Colvin was politicized by the mistreatment of her classmate Jeremiah Reeves. Months before Rosa Parks' stand, Colvin refused to give up her seat on the bus and was arrested.

Claudette got pregnant by an older man after she was released from jail. They decided not to champion the 2nd girl's cause, because there were rumors that her dad was an alcoholic. As for Rosa, we heard the adults talking about her being a plant back in the 70s. Civil Rights advocates wanted to fight this fight, but they needed the "right" person, and Rosa was the perfect case for them. The fact that was mixed made it even better for them,
Plant is probably the wrong word, but the same way that Jackie Robinson wasn't the best Negro League player, but he was the right Negro League player to integrate baseball it's pretty much in the same vein as this conversation
They needed the right person or the movement would fail
Lol u have the most posts in this thread gif boy
Black women have been the driving force behind integration and Civil Rights due to their love of Zaddy. Their quest to use the symbology of President Obama such as Oprah/Stacey Abrams almost triggered a coup attempt. They are going Terminator, sending cybernetic beings to eliminate your timeline.
Google has carefully scrubbed all mentions of Oprah campaigning for anybody black except endorsing a white candidate, it is a data blackhole.
January 6 removed the Stacey Abrams/Oprah timeline completely, preventing her rise to power. Senators and Governors are key political positions, the last probably 15 Presidents were in these political positions previously. If you get these political positions they are chicken hawk watching you, any sign of intent will cause problems.
I love sitting in the back of the bus with my people. I just don't want them chasing after me internationally or messing with lucrative economic opportunities.

He should be under one.
It's actually one of the last successful movements. The way black people bonded together and help each other out during that period. The way we carpool to help other people get to where they needed to go and get back and forth from work to home and to the grocery store and the church and back
I can't imagine a movement like that being successful today because of how disconnected the culture is with each other, not to mention how far away we live from each other. Those were different times then

Man, you mean there was actually an era when out of wedlock pregnancies weren't celebrated.
Is there anyone who will be surprised if they awoke one morning and found out that Kanye West that killed himself? Not I said the cat
Rosa was an activist. She was affiliated with a NAACP and her nit moving was no accident, it was strategic.
Kanye is STILL in the news, but Balenciaga quickly faded away.
Think about that. You are being manipulated to care about what he says much more than you need to actually be.

Niggas act like you getting yard signs printed up and spending the kids college money to read one more Kanye story.
40 seconds reading an article and another minute or two in this thread is not exactly "why y'all giving him all y'all energy?" territory.

The sad thing and what pisses me off is the knowledge that he will eventually try to walk all this shit back and blame it on his mental health which will be accepted by most famous influential/famous black people and their fans.
So basically he'll shit on us as he's done in the past with no real consequences. 
Another thing, I've heard/seen a ridiculous amount of videos from that Clubhouse bullshit of gang members, drug dealers, rappers, etc. threatening and demeaning other black men and women but I've never heard of any action being taken by those who run that app.
And yet the article posted notes that after disrespecting Jewish people on Clubhouse this is their immediate response:
“We took action to shut down a conversation on Saturday because it violated our policies. We also suspended those who violated the policies,” they explained to The Wrap. “There’s absolutely no place for bullying, hate speech or abuse on our platform as explicitly stated in our Community Guidelines and Terms of Service.”

The problem with Coonye is he has no finesse and understanding of code talk. She may have been a “plant“but you don’t say that shit out loud in mixed company fool. Don’t diminish our Black heroes in a public way which then will open the door for THEM to do that to our heroes with no regards. Again you never hear Jews say anything negative about other Jews especially the hero class of Jewish society. Hes just so stupid
