"A tweet from the party’s official Twitter account on Sunday would not have celebrated Rosa Parks on the anniversary of her historic bus-boycott arrest by lauding “her role in ending racism.”"

I've read this statement and I've read the tweet. I don't "get" why this is "offensive".

Someone please tell me.

I've read this statement and I've read the tweet. I don't "get" why this is "offensive".

It isn't.

But the reaction to the tweet proves it wrong: Rosa Parks obviously failed to end racism.

The RNC's next tweet clarified:

Previous tweet should have read "Today we remember Rosa Parks' bold stand and her role in fighting to end racism."
