As if you needed another reason to hate Alabama.

Last Tuesday, the Alabama legislature voted to pardon civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks, more than fifty years after she refused to move to the back of a Birmingham city bus. Fifty fucking years it took these Bible-bangers to excuse a woman of her “crime” of asking to be treated equally.

But that’s not all. While the “Rosa Parks Bill” passed unanimously in the state House of Representatives, three state senators opposed it, and voted against it.

I’m curious as to their explanation. I hope that it has something to do with the fact that by pardoning her, they’re recognizing her actions as a crime, which is insulting to her and the rest of the civil rights leaders from the 60’s. That would be admirable.

I can’t really envision anyone in their right mind voting against this bill, except for the reason mentioned above. But this is Alabama we’re talking about. This is the home of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Auburn football, and the Talladega Superspeedway.
