I've often wondered what people would say of what Rosa Parks did if she did that today. Of course over time she is revered, but in the moment? There would be a whole wide range of responses. I remember when the NBA players refused to play for a couple of games after they got back into the bubble and I saw plenty of people asking, "What's the point of that? They're just wasting their time." Of course some people weren't willing to see the other side of it (they got NBA arenas and MLB parks to host voting locations among other things). If the beloved Mohammed Ali played today, would he be told to shut up and box?
I mean just look at what happened to Colin Kaepernick.
Saying "I am inspired by X" is not the same as saying "I am X".
It’s crazy that we have to explain what it means to be inspired by your heroes on a forum literally about superheroes.
