Did you know that months before Rosa Parks started the Montgomery bus boycott, there was a 15 year olf girl named Claudette Colvin who refused to give up her seat on the bus, and was arrested? But, instead of using her arrest to kick off the bus boycott, NAACP and the other black organizations felt that Claudette would have been a bad face for the movement. She was too young, didn't have the right look, and became pregnant shortly after. So the NAACP had Rosa Parks become the movement icon instead. (source - NPR)
why the fuck couldn't BLM do that with George Floyd.
I genuinely have trouble imagining a worse public figure to become the icon of BLM. A felon junkie deadbeat dad who was high on a cocktail of drugs when he went into a convenience store to buy a banana, of all things, with a counterfeit twenty. It sounds like if 4-chan trolls were trying to come up with a racist caricature, but were having a lazy day.
