Emmett Till was abducted and brutally murdered on this day in 1955. He was only 14.
To this day, lynching is still not considered a federal hate crime. Our country must work to confront this dark, shameful part of our nation’s history and right this wrong.

Emmett Till's murder is one of the worst moments in our history. But let's be clear: The racism and violence that shrouds his story still exist today. We have to keep fighting until we've dismantled systemic racism and white supremacy in every aspect of our economy and society.
— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) August 28, 2020
A 14-year-old, Emmett Till was brutally murdered 65 years ago today because of his race. His killers were never brought to justice.
65 years later, we are still fighting in Congress to make lynching a federal hate crime.
We won’t stop fighting to end systemic racism in America.

Here’s my 2018 article documenting the social construction of the Emmett Till Story as such a dominant part of American history.
While we’re at it we need federal laws against steppe nomad invasions and pouring molten gold down the throats of political opponents.

Cannon Hinnant.
Constantly telling white people how racist they are is probably not a good strategy for the Democrats.
Just read the 2018 article. Great work Steve. Not surprising that the Times wants to keep the frequency of its catch phrases in a black box. Erasing ones own assumptions, like the Google search deserts, while screaming and pointing out the enemy’s presumed assumptions such as white privilege is really most of the battle.
You know the demand for white racism outstrips its supply when they have to keep rehashing the same handful of stories from decades long enough ago when cameras weren’t even capable of taking shots in color.
Elizabeth Warren:
How un-Woke. Emmett Till’s horrific murder at the hands of cis-het white Christian men is clearly the most tragic event in American history, far surpassing things like the Civil War and the Great Depression.
The "let's be clear" stock phrase is especially galling as it is immediately followed by a personal appreciation of the politician.
Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi’ the sun;
I will luve thee still, my dear,
While the sands o’ life shall run
Will there ever be Cannon Hinnant Day?
It’s all so exhausting.
Trying to meet the demand for E. Till material is indeed exhausting.
They’re very much like parrots, these people. And the internet is full of them. Don’t forget to take a mental health break now and then.
>Emmett Till’s murder is one of the worst moments in our history.<
"our history": The fake Indian punching down at bad whites.
Whats funny is that no one under thirty knows or cares who emmit till is.
This is all dog whistling/race shaming for leftist boomers.
So his story is now eligible for Medicare. That should cover the cost of continuing life support.
The cyberscape is strewn with glacial Till, you mean. That can happen if you fall asleep at or too many have their hands in it.
It’s always funny to me how these people talk about how racist American society is, but then count on white people to fix all the problems of black people. Like, shouldn’t blacks have a back-up plan, in case we decide to keep being racist and not help them?
But they really don’t, as far as I can tell. And it’s tempting to chalk it all up to play-acting. Like, they know white people aren’t really the problem, but they’re just pretending we are because they know they can guilt-trip us. And maybe some of them are doing that,, but I really think a lot of them are dumb enough to believe their crap. So dumb, in fact, that it just never occurs to them how stupid it is to expect people who supposedly hate you to help you.
I’ve gotten into discussions with black people online about this. Like, they’ll talk about how racist I am, and how racist America is, and all the usual stuff. And eventually, I’ll just tell them that they’re right, so I’m not going to help them, and I’m not going to feel bad about not helping them. So if they have problems, they can either take care of it themselves, or learn to live with it, because I’m not going to do anything for them. And they seem genuinely surprised when you say this. It’s like they actually believe that white racists like me are the source of all their problems, but are still surprised to find out that these racist white people aren’t interested in helping them.
Every so often, I still get surprised at how these people’s minds work.
Am I mistaken… or did Sens. Harris, (((Schumer))), and Warren somehow fail to mention the murder of five year-old-white boy Cannon Hinnant by a Negro in North Carolina this month while they were tweeting about a budding young rapist following in his father’s footsteps back in 1955?
If hate crimes are the Worst Thing Ever, and hate crime perpetrators commit unforgivable acts, then logically we must as a society condemn hate crime hoaxes as nearly Worst. To say, sorry, bro, I suggested you and those all non approved white people are Nazis but I was wrong, my bad, must be met with serious punishment.
MLK and Malcolm X alike, and every black leader from Douglass to du Bois, would shudder at the unreason and idiocy proudly proclaimed by their supposed heirs. I might cheer when the whites at the front of this idiot brigade are marched off to be punished, except that I’ll be long gone before they get to our betters at the Times.
Hey Kamala, Fauxcohontas, Schmucky, any thoughts on the genocide going on in China right now?
And don’t forget that Emmett’s father was mentioned in what was once considered a great work of world literature:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Till
So, why are the lives of Channon, Christian, Christopher Newsom, Cannon Hinnant, Theresa Veronica Baker and Nathan Garza worth less than Emmet Till’s? When are “activists” going to remember them?
Fu** Emmet Till.
Five years ago last month, under policies implemented by Heels Up AG and SF DA Harris, Kate Steinle was murdered by an illegal the government wanted to deport, but California let go. The (heroin dealer and junkie) shooter was acquitted and freed after the halfass prosecution by the SF DA’s office.

Written by the wife of a former Sec of Defense, it explores an imaginary conversation between Emmett Till, an African-American, and Anne Frank, a German-Dutch Jew, which takes place in Memory, a non-specific afterlife or alternative dimension.

Coming soon to a city near you…a burned out CVS Store at the corner of MLK Blvd. and Emmett Till Ave. which is just blocks from the looted and burned Target Store at the corner of George Floyd St. and Jacob Blake Lane.
The fight for “justice” never ends. Niemals!
When Till’s dad was raping Italian civilians, well…
The most important murder in US history.

Kamala Harris is STILL promoting her anti-lynching law? How 1920s of her. It’s ridiculous to pass a lynching law when you can barely fine anyone who’s been lynched in the last 70 years.
Harris tried this earlier during the primary, and it didn’t improve her support. Insanity is trying the same thing over and over and expecting different results. All the left has now is just propaganda. They have no social programs left that they want to promote. They’re out of ideas and out of money to spend.
Was the murder of Emmet Till worse than the holocaust?
https://i2.wp.com/venturebeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/head-exploding.gif
Has it ever occurred to anyone that if Till had simply agreed to leave that woman alone, as her husband demanded on that riverbank, he would have survived? He would have been run out of town, yet he would have lived. But Till refused. That’s why he was killed. He refused to leave a woman alone when requested.
Doesn’t this ever occur to anyone? Non-compliance got him killed. His arrogance and sense of entitlement got him killed. It keeps getting blacks killed today.

Yes (it actually happened)

Thanks Steve, I needed my Emmett Till fix, or I’d go into withdrawal. It must be at least two hours since I had my last media reference to this forgotten victim.
Progressives, when you erect your statue of Emmett Till, be sure to have his lips puckered as if whistling at a white woman and his executed rapist father peering from behind a heavenly cloud, looking on approvingly, with Bill Cosby maybe doing the same from behind the bars of a jail cell.
Here is the Tuskegee Institute’s famous definition of a “lynching”:
“There must be legal evidence that a person was killed. That person must have met death illegally. A group of three or more persons must have participated in the killing. The group must have acted under the pretext of service to justice, race or tradition.”
The murder of Emmett Till does not meet the Tuskegee Institute’s famous definition of a “lynching.”
Here is the Democrats’ “anti-lynching” bill:

Here is an article about the Democrats’ “anti-lynching” bill:
https://reason.com/2020/06/25/the-federal-anti-lynching-bill-sacrifices-justice-for-symbolism/
The Democrats’ “anti-lynching” bill has nothing to do with actual lynchings— be they of Blacks, cattle rustlers or anyone else. Its purpose is to turn every crime that is committed by more than one person against a person who is in a legally protected category, for civil-rights purposes, and which is allegedly based on an animus toward that category of people, into a federal felony of conspiracy, with a potential ten-year sentence in a federal penitentiary.
Why do none of these black saints have black-sounding names? Emmet Till, Freddie Gray, George Floyd, Jacob Blake, etc. Wassup wit dat?
Yeah, yeah, there was Trayvon, but he wasn’t really canonised with cleansing riots and looting, was he?
Yes Cannon Hinnant, Bless him and damn the media etc.
We now have MLK’s birthday as a National Holiday and Juneteenth is being pushed for another National Holiday. Should we also add Emmett Till as a National Holiday?
And one more thing: alien abduction should be classified as an interstellar hate crime.
“It’s all so exhausting.”
Trying to meet the demand for E. Till material is indeed exhausting.
Soon after the inauguration of President Kamala, August 28th will be officially proclaimed a national holiday in honor and remembrance of Emmett. Everyone will also be gifted with another day off on May 25th in honor of Saint George. Needless to say, we cannot forget Juneteenth, which nobody had much heard of before ten minutes ago. I’m sure there will be a bunch more, and they’ll be banged into Whitey’s noggin’ with the regularity and solemnity of Kristallnacht anniversaries at the NY Times.
And in-between the burnt-out Target and the looted CVS, there’s roundabout circling a celestial statue to the memory of Saint Skittle.
Shush… we have enough.

Because the scriptwriters haven’t spent enough time around black people to know what they name their kids (wink).
Conversely though when they have their table reads, they always know to give the white “victims that the press is keeping secret from you” two double-syllabled Honkee names, just so you won’t doubt the story. Christian Channon, Cannon Hinnant, etc., because they grew up around these people.

Had the shooter been deemed to have shot at SF wharf seals he would have been given 5 years. #marinelivesmatter
What is very strange about the constant Till stories, and even worse, in current news, is the demand by the BLM mob and liberal allies for “justice.”
I’m referring to cases (like Till’s for sure) where the perps are long dead. In current terms, the perps (now often called victims when black) are dead but the killers are either arrested/in custody or dead themselves.
Where is “justice” in that? In a recent Ft. Hood murder, where the black (Black!) Tech Sgt. murdered a Hispanic female soldier, they searched for weeks high and low. They finally found a partly buried body in a roadside area farm and within days were searching for the perp. He killed himself as the police were driving up to him (he was hiding off base, on foot, aided by his other girlfriend.)
So what kind of justice is possible? What does that possibly mean? When the guilty party is found guilty by a court, or dead, end of story. You can’t un-make tragedy.
But now under Woke Marxism, “justice” is merely an empty word. You yell that aloud and slap it on posters and go burn things down or harass others who had zero to do with anything.
We laugh about robbers claiming stolen loot is “reparations” but now “justice” is another way of signaling “I can do what I want and somehow you are bad and I am virtuous.” Of course the exponents of this kind of “justice” don’t want it applied to themselves. Clown World indeed.
Samuel Coleridge explained that indirectly. Emmett Till is the albatross of all wypipo ... well, those below a certain socio-economic status (SES) anyway.

Double Indemnity?
Many people are unaware that young Emmet’s killers actually placed the poor kid in a cage with an eagle and a bear. Gruesome way to go.
Yep.
He was sentenced to be the baddie in The Caine Mutiny.
Cruel and unusual punishment. Followed by a series of Disney punishments.
I had a conversation with my cousin’s wife a few years back and she was droning on about how horrible white on black racism was. I told her that she was accusing every white man of being an immoral person for looking out for and defending their families. She used E Till as an example and I asked her why she needed to bring up a 50 year old story when there must be one that was much more recent, like the Christian-Newsom murders except where the races were reversed. Of course she had no idea what I was talking about and I doubt that she ever looked into it. Rather she was quite content to allow the major media companies to shape her worldview.
Like one of your earlier posts said, Emmett Till is all but forgotten. Why is he never mentioned? https://www.wbez.org/stories/65-years-later-emmett-tills-cousin-reflects-on-his-legacy/fb9f4fe4-54a7-4b36-8b6b-2e4e6953ac1a?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=wbez
BTW, this is the local Emmitt Till like story of Chicago. Ever since the start of 2019, the Chicago race riot of 1919 has been talked about over and over in the local press and each tiny aspect of it and every angle has been worked over and over, including Richard J. Daley’s possible involvement. It is still ongoing apparently: https://www.crr1919ride.com/
