How would you all respond if the OP told us that he was Canadian? "Yeah, what a patriot!!! - hey, wait a minute..."
The use of that word, in the context of this thread is absolutely sickening. Not surprising in the least though.
OK, let us explore this then.
Rosa Parks saw a government sanctioned activity that she knew in her heart was wrong.
Michael Roberts saw a government sanctioned activity that he knew in her heart was wrong.
Rosa Parks took peaceful actions against the above activity.
Michael Roberts took peaceful actions against the above activity.
Rosa Parks knew and accepted the repercussions of her actions.
Michael Roberts knew and accepted the repercussions of his actions.
