Bush honoring Parks rings false

In response to Kanye West saying, "George Bush doesn't care about black people," Bush decided to make a show of allowing Rosa Parks' body to lie in state at the Capitol Rotunda. While Ms. Parks' refusal to give up her bus seat did spark the civil rights movement, I don't believe this single action, however noble and courageous, deserves such an honor. I believe it was a transparent ploy by Bush to show he does, in fact, care about black people.
