I know it was like I am going to bed let me gather up my stuff. The show made it seem like Rosa Parks was trying to move to the front of the bus.

If a trust/race issue was what they were trying to create they should have made it something a little more extreme; like Peggy asking her to sleep on the floor becasue she didn't want the sofa to get dirty; that be insulting enough to make the girl leave.

They are trying to make us beleive that the black girl was so offended by the purse incident that she was willing to leave a safe place to sleep for the night and go out in a strange neighborhood in NYC during a race riot. Pleaseeeeee....
