Unfortunately, this is not the example of what I would call a "hero" and neither would I, as a teacher, advise my students to 'think' that he was. He was a 'man' who, in the midst of a society who is still filled with hate, was caught "accidently" on tape being beaten. The American people decided that this 'hate crime' delivered upon this 'man' by the police warranted press and naturally - our MEDIA played it up and got all the dirt, particle, by particle out of it they could. The sad part - of the 'millions' he received - I'd venture to say - he probably has nothing left. But the irony for which your question seems to provoke is well-taken - it does appear that America is lately about 'getting stuff on tape', 'taking it to the streets' and 'courts', get the money and be broke in two years. Our children can really garner a whole lot from the state of heroism from this. My hero - My hard working mother and father - who taught me how to love others, and myself, who instilled a sense of values and respect in me for life and authority and people, who took me to church, who praised me for my good steps and helped me to understand when I took wrong turns. Who loved me unconditionally. Who I had a chance to share in their lives and care for them as they were babies in their old age until their deaths and whom I was able to bury side by side. Those were my heros.

Rosa Parks develop into an African-American hero. Martin Luther King, Jr. develop into an African-American hero. hundreds of spectacular father and mom, alongside with innovative artists, incredible authors, and outstanding scientists have been and are African-American heroes. African-human beings have been instrumental in development our way of existence. Rodney King represented frustrations approximately obstacles that have not yet dissolved. As an emblem, he develop into important to the community. As someone, he proved that money and interest on my own can't generate delight or happiness, no remember what your racial historic past.

I hope this question isn't intended to stir up racial tension tonight. Rodney King is far from a hero, one minute he claims to be a Jehovah's Witness, the next minute he's in another brush with the law and the next minute he's gettin his a s s beat. He's an idiot.

He's even good looking. He looks like Little Richard, the 1950's rock star.

Hero?!?
For his heroism in getting beat on tape?
For heroically getting a fat wad of cash in court?
"Can't we all just get along?" it's a fair question, but not especially heroic.
