Re: Bigotry is well and alive even among doctors.
Just so it is clear, Rosa Parks was asked to move from her seat, which wasn't even in the front of the bus, but rather the front of the blacks section up til the white people started to overflow into the black section, leading to the driver moving the sign back, and then demanding that Rosa move from the seat she had (legally) been in til the driver moved the area further back, where there were no more seats.
I disagree. If I buy a ticket I expect that my ticket gets me the same privilege as anyone else who bought the ticket. I don't think anyone had more right to seats in the front of the bus than she did. By the same token, I also don't believe that she had more right to a seat in the front than anyone else either.
