it was kind of funny on nightline when they were like "rosa parks died, more on that later. now we're going to talk about the hurricane." rolling over in her grave as they moved her to the back of the broadcast.

Yeah, some people don't get it.

Like, Apple/Mac uses her in the "Think Different" campaign.

She didn't think any different from every black person in her day. She did what everyone wanted to do. That's a big difference.

It seems more like a Nike ad than a Mac ad.
