Rosa Parks moved to Detroit after the Montgomery bus boycott. In 1994 she was robbed and assaulted in her home in Detroit.

Though Democrat politicians and civil rights activists used her for their own purposes none would help when she was old and in need.

Mike Ilitch did.

What she did needed to be done but the left has always passed her action as having been spontaneous:

it was anything but spontaneous.

she had long been an activist in socialist circles and that role was assigned to her by a committee after lengthy planning, believe it or not.

It just sells much better to claim she suddenly did what she did.

Sometimes charity is it’s own reward. I wonder if Ms Parks or any of her relatives ever thanked him for doing that?
More likely, her relatives wanted Ilitch to start paying for their rent as well. ‘Why don’t you offer to help me too, what? I aint black enough for ya? Or maybe I’m TOO black! That’s probably the real issue! “

The Communist Party and others planned and organized the bus boycott. It was decided to target Montgomery Alabama because the bus system was owned by a northern company.It was decided a woman would be used to sit in the seats designated for whites. Several women were recruited and Rosa Parks was eventually the one chosen.

The story about her being tired and acting spontaneously was not hers. It was conceived by the organizers and spread by the media.

Still, what she did was the right thing to do. I’ve got no quarrel with peaceful civil disobedience of (Democrat originated) rules based on the color of a citizen’s skin. It’s no paradox that they’re still playing that game.

This man quietly helped her. If a democrat politician even gave her $100, we would still be hearing about it today.

““Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. “So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:1-4‬ ‭NIV‬‬ http://bible.com/111/mat.6.1-4.niv

So some rich white guy paid Rosa Parks rent for years.
Did the saintly Rosa Parks report that as income on her tax returns?
I doubt it.

in 1994, at age 84 Rosa Parks, having been attacked and robbed moved to a safer neighborhood.

In 1994 most of the black leaders of the civil rights movement had become wealthy, many such as Marion Berry, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, etc, hid their wealth behind various legal constructs.

Question arise where were these famous poverty pimps whether heroine of the civil rights movement was old and distressed?

inquiring minds would like to know.

I have long suspected as much: it is the modus operandi of communists.

FAKE CIVIL RIGHTS LEADER

The Real Rosa Parks existed before Rosa, but she was a Republican. Dinesh DSouza mentioned the true story.

Rosa Parks was the first “Democrat” civil rights person riding a bus. Always late to the party with their fake stories.

But nobody mentions the REAL civil rights leader.
Why not??
Silence ...
