I thought he was but didn't believe that cops would gun down a 12 year old, so I opted for 14, as if that is a good age to kill a kid...the case stinks...the DA acted as a defense lawyer for the cops.... Emmet Till's mother insisted on an open casket so America, and the world, could see what racism in America means...her boy's face was horribly disfigured but she wanted that image seared into people's memories. Since those days whites have worked overtime and even gone against their basest instincts to play down the overt evidence of ongoing racism in America....which is the reason even white Southerners were quick to take down the Confederate flag....too obvious after the recent mass-killing of Blacks. We have eagerly allowed ourselves to be fooled and have encouraged Blacks to be fooled into thinking those bad old days are gone...and too many Blacks have been eager to fool themselves, which is understandable because it is made so painful in America to be Black.....everyone would like to forget...but it only lingers on when we allow ourselves to fool ourselves. --------------------- |
