My godmother Susan was actually a big organizer of the march on washington among other things and told me that Rosa Parks wasn't just some happenstance activist figurehead --
that it was all planned and that she, as an instrument of the organization, was instructed to refuse her seat should she be asked to get up. The way the history books write it, it just happened!!
But yes, I guess I too have respect for her, but sheesh... the song doesn't even "defame" her. Or even refer to her by name, other than the title. Call it instead "Litigious Self-Righteous Beatch"
