The extremely privileged Ammon Bundy compares himself to Rosa Parks

[kpete]

AMMON BUNDY: We are doing the same thing as Rosa Parks did. We are standing up against bad laws which dehumanize us and destroy our freedom.

MR BUNDY: YOU ARE NOT ROSA PARKS!!!!!


The bus was stopped. The police were called and Parks was placed under arrest then and there. As a brave black woman in the Jim Crow South, Parks risked her life on Dec. 1, 1955. She did it without an armed posse to back her up. She did it as a petite woman of the oppressed class in the face of white men who were fully empowered to brutalize black bodies with little threat of punishment.

Nothing you have done or are doing right now resembles the earth-shattering bravery of what Parks did 61 years ago.

Nothing at all.

You don’t even live in Oregon. You aren’t even from there.

Nobody prohibited you or your friends from visiting the federal wildlife refuge that you and others took over.

1. They are EXACTLY like Alternate Universe Rosa Parks!!!!

You know, in the alternate universe where Rosa Parks and her buddies arm themselves heavily, storm the bus and commandeer it because they don't want to pay the fare!

9. Pay the fare?

No, she demanded ownership of the bus.

(it's a parody twitter account, btw)

5. Ammon Bundy seems to forget that he's white.

Rosa Parks just wanted the same rights as white people. Bundy would have been able to select any seat on the bus, in that comparison.

Ammon Bundy would have been like Rosa Parks, if Rosa Parks was white and decided to commandeer the bus for her own selfish purpose.

[jberryhill]

8. No he didn't

Ammon Bundy's twitter account was suspended yesterday.

This is a parody account.

An important clue is the profile picture:
