For the last time, it's a line from the movie Barbershop. It went as follows:
There are three things that Black people need to tell the truth about. Number one: Rodney King should've gotten his ass beat for being drunk in a Honda in a white part of Los Angeles. Number two: O.J. did it! And number three: Rosa Parks didn't do nuthin' but sit her Black ass down!

Wouldn't she have to sit down first in order not to stand up again? She refused to give her seat to a white man, Roy. A white man.

I hate to state the obvious Roy, but in order to not get up, you have to sit down first, you know. Technically this would make ralph right (and don't we fucking hate that), because if she sat down and then didn't get up, all she did was sit her tired ass down.

If that's how you view things, Roy, you obviously know nothing of race relations in the US. The fact that she was even allowed on the bus at all was an insult to most of the white population at the time.

You're no Rosa Parks, Roy. If she had felt like you do, there'd still be colored drinking fountains. Is that what you want, Roy? Colored drinking fountains?

And how the fuck would I know anything about race relations in the US? From all that time I spent there? From all that family I have?
