Here at iSteve, I’m on the Emmett Till Beat beat 24×7, covering all the stop-the-presses coverage of the latest developments in the ever-evolving Emmett Till story, such as this new New York Times news story about an Emmett Till sign being briefly unaccounted for this week:
Q uestions Swirl After Yet Another Emmett Till Sign Comes Down
A historical marker that stood outside the Mississippi shop where 14-year-old Emmett Till encountered the woman who accused him of whistling at her, may have been toppled by a truck. But a historical center is reluctant to call it an accident.
An Emmett Till historical marker in Money, Miss., was briefly unaccounted for this week.
Sept. 4, 2021
By Isabella Grullón Paz
On its secret runway at LaGuardia, the Em-Men’s Em-Jet is always ready to roll
The Emmett Till Beat is, of course, the most prestigious and lavishly resourced assignment at the New York Times.
But there is always so much late-breaking Emmett Till news that the job quickly chews up and spits out even the most dedicated and ambitious reporters:
When it was notified this week that another sign commemorating Emmett Till had disappeared, the Emmett Till Interpretive Center had every reason to be worried.
… On Thursday, the center announced on Twitter that the historical marker in front of the site of the former Bryant’s Grocery & Meat Market in Money, Miss. — where Emmett went to buy candy and was later accused of flirting with the white shopkeeper, eventually leading to his lynching by two white men — was gone.
But Allan Hammons, whose public relations firm made the marker for the Mississippi Freedom Trail, which was created in 2011 to commemorate the people and places in the state that played a pivotal role in the American civil rights movement, said that he suspected no foul play.
On Tuesday, shortly after Mr. Hammons received a call saying that the sign was “missing or damaged,” a colleague visited the site and saw the marker lying on the ground, Mr. Hammons recalled in a phone interview on Saturday. He then asked the Leflore County Road and Bridge Department to retrieve and store the sign until he could evaluate if it needed to be repaired or replaced. When Mr. Hammons surveyed the site after the placard had been picked up, he saw large tire tracks that he said could have belonged to a “utility type truck.”
His guess is that a truck driver may have inadvertently backed into the post, perhaps without even realizing it.
“Oftentimes this happens,” Mr. Hammons said, estimating that his firm loses five to six historical markers each summer to human error. Mr. Hammons added that he had no way to know if this instance was intentional or accidental.
But the Emmett Till Interpretive Center is reluctant to write off the incident as an accident, given the history of vandalism of signs memorializing the boy’s death.
… “We’re tired of this, you know?” Mr. Weems said. “Regardless of whether this was an accident or not, there is a clear pattern of violence against these signs, and we think it’s time for the federal government to step up and take responsibility for this national American story.”
If Mr. Weems is tired, think how exhausted the black women at the Emmett Till Interpretive Center must be.

The Emmett Till story is like the Holocaust encompassed is a single person. Fact and fiction mixed with emotionalism. All for the purpose of blood libeling white people.
Both topics have been analysed to death.
Two white men murdered a black teen who made unwanted advances towards a white woman. What part of it is fiction?
A state apparatus targeted and murdered x million Jews (where 5 < x < 6). What part of it is fiction?
Funny how more than 99% of the dead that Adolf and his cronies left behind were white people. So much for a blood libel!

To be almost ridiculously sweeping: baby boomers and their offspring have shifted emphasis from the communal to the individual, from the future to the present, from virtue to personal satisfaction. Increasingly secular, we pledge allegiance to lower-case gods of our private devising. We are less concerned with leading a good life than the good life. We are less likely than our predecessors to ask ourselves whether we serve a greater social purpose; we are more likely to ask if we are happy. We shun values such as self-sacrifice and duty as the pitfalls of suckers. We give little thought to the perpetuation of lineage, culture or nation; we take our heritage for granted. We are ahistorical. We measure the value of our lives within the brackets of our own births and deaths, and don’t especially care what happens once we’re dead. As we age – oh, so reluctantly! – we are apt to look back on our pasts and ask not ‘Did I serve family, God and country?’ but ‘Did I ever get to Cuba, or run a marathon? Did I take up landscape painting? Was I fat?’ We will assess the success of our lives in accordance not with whether they were righteous, but with whether they were interesting and fun.

“The white British proportion of the population has fallen from 89 per cent to 79 per cent, while ethnic minorities have grown from 10 per cent to 21 per cent . . . Try reversing the paradigm. If white westerners were immigrating by the tens of millions to developing nations - if Liverpudlians were pouring into Lagos - the left would decry the mass migration as neocolonialism . . . white Britons needn’t submissively accept the drastic ethnic and religious transformation of their country as an inevitable fate they’re morally required to embrace without a peep of protest.”

Not much larger significance except perhaps as an illustration of aspects of Delta culture at the time.

I understand that several thousand troops have now been freed up from their former postings in Afghanistan. Perhaps a brigade could be assigned to guard each Holy Sign on a 24/7 basis. A perimeter could be established with a guard tower, snipers and sand bags and any white person who attempts to breach the perimeter would be shot on sight. If any white person attempts to shoot at the sign from a distance, the snipers will pick him off.
Same people for same purpose.

Years ago, college students would steal a “lawn jockey” statuette or other object from a front lawn, and drive it with them to Ft. Lauderdale for spring break. Upon arrival, they posed the object on the beach, and promptly mailed a photo to the owners with a caption – – “Enjoying spring break in Florida, wish you were here!” The owners, probably already expecting the photo, got a good laugh and knew that their object would soon return home from its vacation. College pranks. Fun from another era.

Nineteen of the 20 Delta counties are off their peak population. The only exception is now hosting surburbs of Memphis. Most had reached their peak by 1930, one as early as 1890, one as late as 1980. a population loss (compared with the peak) of 1/3 is quite normal. In the case of one county, the population is off 90%. Even the imploding rural counties in Kansas and Nebraska aren’t doing this badly.

Obviously, each marker site must be monitored with strategically placed cameras operated by a remote monitoring staff 24/7 funded by the white tax.
They could install cameras to catch the perps, but it would be awkward if the truck driver was a young black person, who never was taught how to back up, as seems to be the case these days for most young people of any race.

Also, a sign should be erected about 50 yards before the Emmett Till marker telling motorists to bow their heads reverently as they passed it. The troops could enforce that.
Pitiful straw-man argument. Why am I not surprised?

I can see this article without a NYT subscription. The NYT must regard these breaking developments in the Emmett Till case to be so important that even non subscribers should be able to follow them.
Here’s another paragraph from this important story:
“The Emmett Till Interpretive Center is working to secure federal protections for this marker as well as many of the others commemorating Emmett and historical sites like Bryant’s Grocery, which he said seemed to be defaced every six months to a year.”
I’ll bet, though, that the FBI is already investigating the damage to this sacred sign. If they send multiple agents to find out whether a loop at the end of a garage-door pull is a civil rights violation, there must be dozens of FBI agents looking into this.
And then you wonder why noone wants to play with you.
Both topics have been analysed to death.
Two white men murdered a black teen who made unwanted advances towards a white woman. What part of it is fiction?
A state apparatus targeted and murdered x million Jews (where 5 < x < 6). What part of it is fiction?
Funny how more than 99% of the dead that Adolf and his cronies left behind were white people. So much for a blood libel!

The Afghanistan call would only be equivalent if, say, Governor DeSantis had a son who got bounced out of the US Navy for consuming too many drugs, if this son had this "thing" going with the widow of another son who tragically passed from an illness, where the druggie son later made Mr. DeSantis a grandfather by way of an "exotic dancer", who had a side-hustle going in Afghanistan involving its immense potential for supplying lithium and other necessary materials for electric cars also had a laptop computer that he simply left in a repair shop, containing an e-mail boasting about the need to kick back 10% of his receipts from that side-hustle to "Mr. Big", meaning Ron DeSantis.
The Republican call for impeachment would only be equivalent then if Mr. DeSantis had visited Afghanistan and bragged about putting pressure on the then government of Afghanistan to fire a prosecutor investigating the goings on the Afghanistan's big lithium mining consortium. Finally, if President Biden in his recent call to the then president of Afghanistan hinted that this leader should conduct an investigation into the doings of Mr. DeSantis' ner do well son, then and only then should the Repubs impeach President Biden.
Oh, and only if there was in the US Military some full-faced Lieutenant Colonel who was an Afghani immigrant who was willing to testify that he was listening in on the phone call, and it was simply awful.

I loved seeing the video of this STOL recently, which can take off in 6 feet!
Conflation of the general and the specific is probably the most common tactic in the left’s presentation of politically strategic history.
The blood libel thing–yeah.
But Hitler/Nazis actually were doing Old Testament style total war–kill the women and children too–against the Jews. (And this was against the grain of European war–while lethal for combatants–had become less deadly for civilians. The Germans, Japanese, Soviets and British and Americans–mostly through the air–reversed that in WWII with civilians killed by the millions.)
In contrast, the striking thing about the Till deal is how personal it was.
The violence wasn’t generally against “blacks”. And there was no “mob”.
Basically Till violated the social norms that allowed the Bryants to operate a country store out in the boonies. (Engaging in the sort of black assholery that we’re all familiar with.) His cousins told him not to do it, and knew Till had really stepped in it. His Uncle knew he’d screwed up, but thought the retribution would be an old style ass kicking–hopefully knock some sense into him. Only his Aunt comes off as sensible. (A black woman the most sensible person! LOL.) She wanted to put Till on the train immediately and get him out of there.
But Carolyn Bryant’s husband was more pissed–feeling humiliated. (Having his brother along instead of promoting sense, probably made it worse.) And Till was such an unapologetic asshole that this spun all the way up to murder.
Contra narrative, no one thought this was right. The town did not. The white jury did not. But they didn’t see great alternatives either. They didn’t want to legitimize what Till did–or they wouldn’t be able to maintain white norms anymore. (This is the sort of sad story that “diversity” gives you.)
No one, was in favor of what Till did or what Bryant and his brother did.
Except … for the minoritarian propagandists in the East Coast media. A field day of blood libeling white southerners over the crappy behavior of three crappy people.

I’d like to take a moment to share a personal anecdote with the readers of isteve.
To preface, I would like the reader to understand that, for the entirety of my life, I had prided myself on my complete personal abstinence from alcoholic beverages.
Last year, at the urging and chiding of isteve commenters, I personally, and of my own volition, chose to indulge in the “Emmett Till Drinking Game.” The premise of which was to drink a shot glass of fine aged whiskey every time the NYT managed to somehow insert the name “Emmett Till” into a news story, essay, or commercial ad, however ridiculous. At least, I thought it was a game…
Today, I’d like to take this opportunity to reintroduce myself to the isteve commenters:
Hello. My name is Zoos, and I’m an alcoholic.
I’m still waiting for the graphic novel that details all the different exciting lives that Emmett Till led in the alternate universes in which he didn’t die.
… “We’re tired of this, you know?” Mr. Weems said. “Regardless of whether this was an accident or not, there is a clear pattern of violence against these signs, and we think it’s time for the federal government to step up and take responsibility for this national American story.”
This paragraph is a sign that should not be ignored.
Cannot be true. The Emmett Till Memorial Commission of Tallahatchie County Inc. files a IRS 990EX which means it raises less than \$200k annually and an internet search shows that its biggest government grant was \$500k.

But only because he was traumatized by evil ray-ciss US Army in 1945 and provocatively dressed Italian women…

...deserves an answer.If the jews have anything to say about it (they will) "holocaust™ transference syndrome", (invented by two jewish psychiatrists to keep the holohoax (oops, I mean holocaust™) shekels flowing) will be used to absolve Emmett Till of his attempted rape of the woman shopkeeper."Holocaust™ transference syndrome" is presently being used by jews to keep the (fake) "holocaust™" story alive as well as to extract more shekels for children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren of so-called "holocaust™ survivors", many of whom never left Miami or New York City.It's only a matter of time until "rapist transference syndrome" is used to exonerate Emmett Till...
Be sure to include in this “national American” story that Emmet Till’s father was a sexual predator by nature, executed by the US Army for raping Italian women during WWII.

You are “pushing” (when did that word become so fashionable?) a false equivalence, just like the Republicans seeking to impeach Mr. Biden about a phone call to the then president of Afghanistan asking for a political favor.
The Afghanistan call would only be equivalent if, say, Governor DeSantis had a son who got bounced out of the US Navy for consuming too many drugs, if this son had this “thing” going with the widow of another son who tragically passed from an illness, where the druggie son later made Mr. DeSantis a grandfather by way of an “exotic dancer”, who had a side-hustle going in Afghanistan involving its immense potential for supplying lithium and other necessary materials for electric cars also had a laptop computer that he simply left in a repair shop, containing an e-mail boasting about the need to kick back 10% of his receipts from that side-hustle to “Mr. Big”, meaning Ron DeSantis.
The Republican call for impeachment would only be equivalent then if Mr. DeSantis had visited Afghanistan and bragged about putting pressure on the then government of Afghanistan to fire a prosecutor investigating the goings on the Afghanistan’s big lithium mining consortium. Finally, if President Biden in his recent call to the then president of Afghanistan hinted that this leader should conduct an investigation into the doings of Mr. DeSantis’ ner do well son, then and only then should the Repubs impeach President Biden.
Oh, and only if there was in the US Military some full-faced Lieutenant Colonel who was an Afghani immigrant who was willing to testify that he was listening in on the phone call, and it was simply awful.
The interesting thing to me about the Taliban Christmas-in-August military unboxing, is wouldn’t it be pretty easy to remove the expensive electronics, thereby disabling the most outwardly-lethal aspects of the equipment before the goatherds go joyriding? Couldn’t we have called up a few Ed Snowdens to knock that out over a July 4th weekend?
Even with such evidence of MIC’s incompetence I can’t believe *no one* had the self-incentive and moxie to snaffle the valuable intellectual property — microprocessors, specialty motors, etc. etc. — which isn’t heavy and probably won’t be noticed missing by anyone you don’t want to notice, whether in Islamabad or Washington D.C., if that was ever a strategy of leaving the machinery of death like so (a big “if”).
Perhaps as with the Baghdad museum in 2003, what I’m suggesting did in fact happen, as would be logical, and our clueless puppet media just is too unaware, in-the-tank with spooks, and/or distracted by the fun crisis narrative to report that. I’m really not persuaded that we upgraded Tal’s or anyone in the region to Tom Clancy level of ops.

Increasingly secular, we pledge allegiance to lower-case gods of our private devising. We are less concerned with leading a good life than the good life. We are less likely than our predecessors to ask ourselves whether we serve a greater social purpose; we are more likely to ask if we are happy. We shun values such as self-sacrifice and duty as the pitfalls of suckers. We give little thought to the perpetuation of lineage, culture or nation; we take our heritage for granted. We are ahistorical. We measure the value of our lives within the brackets of our own births and deaths, and don't especially care what happens once we're dead. As we age - oh, so reluctantly! - we are apt to look back on our pasts and ask not 'Did I serve family, God and country?' but 'Did I ever get to Cuba, or run a marathon? Did I take up landscape painting? Was I fat?'

Lionel Shriver’s piece in The Spectator (that The Guardian takes exception to) was pretty based:
“The white British proportion of the population has fallen from 89 per cent to 79 per cent, while ethnic minorities have grown from 10 per cent to 21 per cent . . . Try reversing the paradigm. If white westerners were immigrating by the tens of millions to developing nations – if Liverpudlians were pouring into Lagos – the left would decry the mass migration as neocolonialism . . . white Britons needn’t submissively accept the drastic ethnic and religious transformation of their country as an inevitable fate they’re morally required to embrace without a peep of protest.”

Steve, as a friend I am pleased to tell my family and friends, even wokeish ones, what a civilised and humane guy you are as well as being fact oriented and very well informed. But take a step back. Bear in mind that the average person knows only that a heinous crime was committed against Emmet Till, aggravated and supported by continued race discrimination in America. No problem about drawing attention to the allocation of time and space the NYT gives to various issues, with minimal comment, but, really, do you think the tone of this piece leaves people thinking well of you as I know you are?

Seeing is believing.
That plane has such a ridiculously short takeoff and landing it could operate in any terrain. The same could be said of Buzz Mohawk’s plane with those ginormous tires.
Harrison Ford would be well advised to buy one or the other.
Regarding Louis Till,father of our Little Angel Saint Emmett Till
Executions by the Army during World War II and postwar:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_executed_by_the_United_States_military
ALL executions were for rape and/or murder except ONE CASE-Eddie Slovick,obsessive-compulsive deserter…
Scanning the list of names it is impossible to tell which murderers/rapists were black,back then they had regular names,no such BS like Trayvon,DeShawn,LeRoy,Jamal etc…
Eventually I found a racial break-down on government website.
“Black soldiers represented 50 percent of the soldiers executed for murder, 83 percent for rape, and 25 percent for murder/rape. No white soldiers were executed for rape. Sixty-one percent of the victims were females; 94 percent were white. Seventy-eight percent of the victims were civilian; 22 percent were military.”

During WWII blacks were 10% of the US Army although they served in separate units…
Well,the more things change the more they stay the same 😁😁😁
That same guy has another video where he takes off in two and a half feet (with the same aircraft.) That machine is like a kite with landing gear. Even most ultralights don’t have that kind of performance, though his plane isn’t much bigger than an ultralight.
That's one of the fake Emmett Till stories.Replies: @SunBakedSuburb, @Ed Case
Reading the recent Atlantic article on Till Jr., the focus appears now on prosecuting for Perjury Carolyn Bryant, the central figure in the drama apart from Till and the last person still living from that day.
Till mighta achieved the Nobel Prize for Medicine, but for that Heinous Crime, eh Wiz?
Let’s say, a pioneer in the field of random Gynaecology?
Are you saying the boy was not murdered by a couple of local white men? Are you saying that that is not a heinous crime? Are you denying that most people would regard it as fact that the boy was brutally murdered?Replies: @res

I must have missed something. Please explain something which surely cannot be as silly as it reads at first sight. The way Emmet Till may have turned out has absolutely NOTHING to do with any logical or ethical point.

Louis Till was imprisoned alongside American poet Ezra Pound. He gets a mention in Pound’s Pisan Cantos.
“Till was hung yesterday
for murder and rape with trimmings”

Yes,he and his buddy Fred A. McMurray killed one Italian woman and raped 2 more...
But only because he was traumatized by evil ray-ciss US Army in 1945 and provocatively dressed Italian women...

Your question: /How come Louis Till (Emmet Till’s father) does not have a museum or at least a monument ???/
…deserves an answer.
If the jews have anything to say about it (they will) “holocaust™ transference syndrome”, (invented by two jewish psychiatrists to keep the holohoax (oops, I mean holocaust™) shekels flowing) will be used to absolve Emmett Till of his attempted rape of the woman shopkeeper.
“Holocaust™ transference syndrome” is presently being used by jews to keep the (fake) “holocaust™” story alive as well as to extract more shekels for children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren of so-called “holocaust™ survivors”, many of whom never left Miami or New York City.
It’s only a matter of time until “rapist transference syndrome” is used to exonerate Emmett Till…
Here are true (corrected) stories about “icons” of the so-called “civil rights” movement . . .
There is much more to the “Emmett Till” story that is not widely known. Of course, killing him made him into a “martyr” of the black “civil-rights” movement, but–it is not generally known that Emmett Till was a strapping young man of about 160 lbs.–NOT a “little boy” as some media types tried to portray him as.
He was a known womanizer and attempted to take his cocky “Chicago ways” in dealing with women to the Deep South. He was sent to live with relatives in the South because his Chicago relatives could not handle him. He had a “cocky attitude” and bragged about “getting it on” with white women–not a good idea especially in the South. . .
According to published accounts, Mr. Till did not just “whistle” at a white woman, but grabbed, manhandled and fondled a married white woman. In Southern culture, this was, and still is, the ultimate form of disrespect and even today, would be considered criminal assault.
Despite Mr. Till’s relatives’ attempts to spirit him “out of town” to avoid retribution by the woman’s relatives and townspeople, his cocky attitude “got in the way”.
Despite being given numerous “chances” to apologize for his behavior, he was defiant to the end. IF he had apologized for his behavior, he would still be alive today. In fact, two of his killers were black men.
It is interesting to note that Emmett Till’s father was executed by the U S military for multiple rapes. Maybe “the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree” . . .
Rosa Parks was not the “ordinary” black woman that so-called historians made her to be. She was an organizer for the NAACP and was “planted” in order to advance the cause of black “civil-rights” to which she was successful.
Approximately a year previous to Rosa Parks’ “bus ride” and refusal to vacate her seat, a REAL ordinary black woman did the same thing. This black woman received NO publicity or support from the NAACP or other black “civil-rights” organizations. You see, she was an unmarried black woman with children. According to the black civil-rights crowd, this would not do. They wanted someone who was “squeaky clean” without any “baggage”.
In fact, the “white guy” sitting behind her was part of the “set-up”. He was a UPI reporter, contracted to “stage” the event…not only that, in the photo there is no one else on the bus. Ms. Parks could have sat wherever she wanted.
Hence, Rosa Parks made (fabricated) history . . .
Martin Luther (Michael) King was well-known for frequenting prostitutes, beating and abusing them while exclaiming that he “finally felt like a white man”. His own associates have stated as such. He also plagiarized his college papers and doctoral thesis. Of course, this was overlooked because of his status. King was also a rabid communist.
Jesse Jackson used to brag to his associates on how he would spit in the food of white patrons of the restaurant he worked at.
There are many more fabrications of history that were used to lend “legitimacy” to the so-called “civil-rights” movement . . .
More to come . . .

He did far more than whistle at her. Her assaulted her in the store by putting his hands on her waist and drawing her in toward him. That is a physical assault. She testified to that effect at her husband’s trial. Moreover, as the blacks were leaving she rushed to her sister-in-law’s car to get a pistol. He whistled at her while she was in the process of getting the pistol.
The whistling took place after the assault. Get the facts and don’t fall for this liberal propaganda.
Her assaulted her in the store by putting his hands on her waist and drawing her in toward him. That is a physical assault. She testified to that effect at her husband’s trial.
Did anyone else testify to this? It’s not as if they were alone in the woods.
Can you show me the provision in the Mississippi penal code which allow a defense of justification if someone’s fresh with your wife?
Pp. 42-43 has the (significantly redacted) account of the person who came in as Till was leaving. Page 43 is not OCRed.
Page 44 has a confidential source who claims being present at the store, but does not describe exactly where (which seems an important detail to omit!). From reading that it seems quite possible they were outside with a view of the counter, but who knows? Page 45 has a note which appears to be connected about someone not being present at the store, but impossible to tell the meaning with all of the redactions.
I find the whistle (testified to by multiple people I understand) suggestive that something happened in the store.
It was a Murder Trial, presumably the Prosecution called Mrs Bryant as a hostile witness in an attempt to establish motive.
On the other hand, perhaps the prosecution did introduce witnesses who gave evidence about Till’s actions and the Defense called Mrs Bryant to partially refute the seriousness of the assault on her..
According to the recent Atlantic article, some of Till’s surviving Mississippi acquaintancers dispute Mrs Bryant’s evidence and want her prosecuted.

14 years of age is old enough to know that you do not assault women. YOU are the sick jerk for justifying Till’s criminal behavior. In fact, Till’s enforced “dirt nap” saved other white women from his evil clutches.
According to the recent Atlantic article, some of Till’s surviving Mississippi acquaintancers dispute Mrs Bryant’s evidence and want her prosecuted.
They want an 88 year old woman prosecuted on a perjury charge no one can definitively prove, 60 years after the statute of limitations would have run out in any ordinary jurisdiction?
I know. Do you understand the concept of “thought he was dead”? That is what the excerpt I gave seemed to be asserting. We will never know the truth.
