That poor baby. Just 14 years old. Ugh. Every time I think of him it breaks my heart so much. He deserved so much more and met such a tragic, terrifying, and lonely end. And his poor mother who had to lose her baby. The fact that there’s been no justice STILL destroys me. Fuck racism and fuck racists. And fuck the institutions that protect them.
Reminder that Martha Stewart, Bernie Sanders, Bob Dylan, Neil Diamond, Simon and Garfunkel were all born the same year as Emmett Till.  
If you think his death long ago, think again.  Carolyn Bryant is still alive. Those that supported his lynching are still alive, still voting, and are still creating policy to this day. >

Also, a reminder that the memorial sign marking the spot where his body was found has been stolen, vandalized, damaged, and shot. The state has had to replace it three times so far, and that's just since 2008. The latest one weighs 500 lbs and is bulletproof, in the hopes that this sign will last. 
So if you think that the kind of racism that led to Till's murder doesn't exist anymore, think again. >

Ahmaud Arbery was lynched by a cop just a couple years ago, and three different prosecutors saw the video of his killers chase him down, corner him three times, and murder him, yet refused to prosecute.
Georgia, and most of the south, is still the same racist shithole it has always been. >

i like how Germany stamps the fuck out of nazi propagation 
wish we did the same >

Lucky us, we keep getting the opportunity to do so. Likely will until we are willing to sacrifice what we have to right our wrongs. >

Soo….2525? Maybe? >

Imho if the SS guys are hunted down even if they are 90 years of age. The lady who falsely accused poor emmett should be given the same justice. >

A grand jury declined to indict her last year. >

If anyone reading this is in any way unclear about the "brutally" part of all this, Till was kidnapped at gunpoint in the middle of the night, repeatedly pistol-whipped en route to a barn, then bound, tortured, and mutilated for hours, to the point that they knocked one of his eyes out and rendered him unrecognizable. They then tied a 70-pound cotton gin fan around his neck with barbed wire and threw him off a bridge into a river, but forgot to remove an engraved ring from his hand that unambiguously identified him when the body was recovered. 
...the all-white jury took barely an hour to acquit, despite overwhelming evidence. "If we hadn't stopped to drink Coca-Cola," one of the jurors was later quoted as saying, "it wouldn't have taken that long."
The next year, the acquitted killers were paid $4,000 for an interview in which they confessed to the crime, knowing they couldn't be retried due to double jeopardy. 
The history of racism in the U.S. is more hideous than is even widely known. And there plenty of loud idiots who want to make sure it stays that way. >

She lied. But they really thought this was the best way to deal with this? Sadistic assholes. >

This medal was given to them as conciliation. It does no justice. >

Emmett Till's mother did one of the hardest and bravest things I could imagine a bereaved parent doing. It should be a national disgrace that it took THAT kind of action to motivate America to get off it's ass and act.
Unfortunately, we still need parents like her. Our kids are still dying, and Sandy Hook and Uvalde proved that just secondhand, sanitized footage and testimony aren't enough to thaw the cold hearts. Maybe next time the parents can sacrifice even more so that it doesn't happen again. Another major national disgrace brought to us by conservatives. >

That sounds like a great way to encourage more mass shootings. >

The cunt named Carolyn Bryant had a warrant that was never served and is technically still active. Serve that bitch, and let her live her final years in prison. The bitch recanted her testimony, it was lie city. Hell, they recently convicted a nazi in Germany, suspended sentence. Get her geriatric ass before she dies with a smile on her rat face. >

The stupid bitch that lied about it should be arrested, doesnt matter how old she is
