I didn't even hardly get any replies to my topic about Emmitt Till, and when I made a post on Martin Luther King day, nobody gave a shit. I guess I'm white, so my opinions or thoughts or respect doesn't count.

actually i've heard quite a bit about Emmitt Till and i have never known what exactly happened to him...can someone give me a bit of info on him? cuz i'm really interested in that...sadly trauma i agree with you...being white i dont think anyone would take our opinions on these subjects seriously.

emmitt till was a black kid from chicago (don't quote me on that he was from a northern state, i'm pretty sure he was from chicago but i kinda forgot) he went to stay with relatives over the summer in the south and when him and his cousin went into a store he saw a white girl he thought was fine and said something like "hey baby" and she told her dad and the whole white community was outraged that a black kid would say something like that to a white girl......so the cops or kkk (all in the same ;) ) whoooped the living shit out of him , so much that his face was unreconizable and suprisingly enough he was still alive and they shot him in the face. they dumbped him in the river and to make a long story short these white people were put on trial to an all white jury in the south and were found innocent despite overwelming evidence against them. in protest emmitts mom held a open casket funeral for her son (messed up face and all).

That's mostly correct. The girl he called out to though was the store owner's wife, not his daughter. The store owner & one of his friends (no police were involved) went in the middle of the night and got the boy out of bed from his relatives house, took him to one of their barns and beat him to death. They burned his clothes and threw him in the river. When his mom had the open casket funeral, they printed pictures of his face in Jet magazine, and it effectively helped launch the civil rights movement, people up north didn't realize that this kind of thing was happening in the south. Very Traumatic story. Of course I'm just a racist white guy that listens to Rush Limbaugh, what would I know, right?
