TARGET II: BACK OF THE STORE IS NOT THE BACK OF THE BUS / TRANS FANS, YOU ARE NO ROSA PARKS
Vol. II | Issue. 168 | June 1, 2023
On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, a 42-year-old African American seamstress named Rosa Parks refused the demand of bus driver James Blake that she give up her seat in the "White Only" section of the bus and move to the back, known as the "Colored Section". The demand was also made to three other black riders, all of whom complied. Rosa Parks refused and was arrested for violating the Montgomery Municipal Code, which required black passengers to relinquish their seats to white passengers when the bus was full.
Historical myth has conveyed that Parks “refused to give up her seat because she was tired after a hard day's work”. Based on interviews in the following decades and her autobiography published in 1992, that was not the case.
“People always say that I didn’t give up my seat because I was tired, but that isn’t true. I was not tired physically, or no more tired than I usually was at the end of a working day. I was not old, although some people have an image of me as being old then. I was 42. No, the only tired I was, was tired of giving in.” - Rosa Parks, stated in her autobiography, “Sharing My Story”.
Parks had been a member of the local branch of the NAACP and had a high-minded purpose in refusing Blake's order. Rosa Parks' refusal to move to the back of the bus and the City of Montgomery's refusal to remove that egregious mandate from the Municipal Code led to the Montgomery Bus Boycott. It started with a small number of black citizens and grew to the point that the Bus Company was forced to either change its own rule or go bust, and they chose to change it.
As a longtime advocate of Civil Rights for African Americans, Rosa had been even more recently inspired to do what she could after the murder of Emmett Till, the 14-year-old boy murdered in Mississippi in 1955 for allegedly being "disrespectful" to a white woman. Parks' action and subsequent arrest, along with the litigation surrounding them, brought national attention to and galvanized the Civil Rights Movement on a national level. Ultimately, the Montgomery Bus Law was deemed unconstitutional under the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment.
Rosa Parks' actions did far more than change the law; they changed the hearts and minds of America. A plurality of whose citizens were either indifferent to or unaware of the Civil Rights challenges facing African Americans, including but not limited to disenfranchisement in most southern states, lynching at will without prosecution of murder, and other forms of ugly legal and de facto discrimination.
The term "Back of the Bus" has become a metaphor for the Civil Rights Movement at large. The term has come to mean any law, practice, or action that creates, by force of law, a class of inferior citizenship. The actions of Rosa Parks that inspired the Montgomery Bus Boycott changed the rules of the game. Economic boycotts are the most effective way that consumers of goods and/or services can send a message to companies whose policies, products, or services they don't agree with.
The so-called "Trans Community", which as a mobilized group has absurdly positioned itself to the public and American Culture at large as a Civil Rights Group, has an increasingly radical and effective agenda. They have taken their “grooming of children” agenda to schools, workplaces, media messaging, and political advocacy throughout America and the world. At large, this "Movement/Community" portrays itself to the world as a “discriminated against minority” whose Civil Rights are violated whenever there is a protest or lawful action aimed towards rejecting child grooming, "gender change" affirming actions, campaigns, and efforts to stop the medical/psychological experiments on our children, who, by definition, are below the age of consent.
Target, in response to the loss of roughly $15 billion dollars in market value during the past two weeks as a result of the nascent but effective boycott, apparently has moved their "Tuck" Bathing Suits and other Trans-wear to the back of the store. The Trans activists have claimed that moving their disgusting merchandise to the back of the store gives them the same moral high ground that Rosa Parks had in 1955 when she was asked to move to the back of the Bus.
Sorry "Trans folk" and your fellow travelers of the Radical Left… I don't think that moving penis-hiding swimsuits for boys being groomed to be girls is quite the same as forcing an American Citizen to move to the back of the bus due to their skin color.
Anyhow, hopefully, the Target Boycott is just the tip of the iceberg and the vast majority of Americans will come to realize that the best way to stop the madness of “Woke” Corporate policies is to hit them where it hurts the most: In the pocketbook.
As for Target, maybe it will take a $30 Billion Dollar loss for you to realize the back of the store isn't good enough, just get rid of the penis-hiding bathing suits.
And for all of you child grooming "Trans Activists", it’s America, so you can do your own thing, but keep your hands off the children!
