The world hasn't come to that, you've just come a step closer to what the world is/was. It is horrible, and you should face it only step by step, because the sheer amount of brutality men have wreaked and are still committing over each other (and animals, not to forget that) is so endlessly terrible and sad.
If you dont believe what Im saying here purchase the book " Without Sancturary" ISBN 0-944092-69-1 After reading this book the reader will have a better understanding for the reasons of race relation as they now stand in this country. After reading this tell me how this affected your views
What about "A People's History of the United States" published by Howard Zinn? I haven't read it yet, but I heard it contains very much of the atrocities commited towards native Americans and Blacks (and a few others).
What is seen here is part of a legacy of brutal practices against an innocent people who did nothing to deserve that. What's really apalling is that these practices continued well into the late 20th century. This is the "Black Holocaust" burning, castration, lynching were daily practices that so- called christian whites who professed love of Jesus did for sport and fun.
To say to us " Get over it" is insane. This is why there is distrust,dislike for Whites in this country. It's the deeds
feeling angry and disgusted about what i saw.i cant believe people would be so evil against another human being.i believe these assholes who did this are burning in hell.
Its so hard to believe that someone could do something so horrible and ruthless to a kid just because of the color of his skin. I would never even wish something like the on my worst enemys. Its sad to think about how cruely black people were treated.
I WAS BROUGHT UP BETWEEN TWO VERY RACIST COUNTRIE: THE U.S. AND THE U.K.AND THO IT WOULD APPEAR THAT A LOT OF PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE, IT'S STILL NOT ENOUGH. AS FOR YOUR VIDEO, IT WAS BRILLIANTLY, BRAVELY PRESENTED AND BILLIE COULD NOT OF COURSE BEEN A BETTER CHOICE FOR MUSIC. WELL DONE.
What that poor boy went through. This story is so upsetting. No mother should go through what Mrs. Till went through. As a white woman I am repulsed and absolutely disgusted by what these animals did to Emmet. It starts with children. Teach your children to not pay attention to skin color. Granted we can't get along with everybody but let it be because of personality, not skin color--Dear God! Let's be good to one another!
After watching this video and then thinking of black civil rights leaders such as Martin Luther King Jr. its sad as hell to know that black people are at war against one another. R.I.P. Emmett Till i know ur n a better place
Wrong!! Civilized humans would never do this to another human being. Only someone who would deny the obvious would even stoop to doing what these so-called "men" did to this child.
This song really gets to me. I'd heard about the song "Strange Fruit" but never actually heard Billie Holiday sing it until now. And she sings it as only Billie Holiday can. A winner.
fuck the clan any racist bitchass mothafucka can see me nigga its town buisness. put down the guns put up yo fists and see me from the shoulders 1 on 1 nigga its nothing
The sad part about all of this is black men are still being lynched today through our "so called legal system". Check out the numbers that were framed in Chicago charged for crimes they didn't do and put on death row (some are dead). There was an investigation which uncovered this recently. This went on in the 70's thru the 90's. Just think of the cases we don't know about.
u kno im black n to me those people on those trees could b black white arab asian it dnt matter because that shits terrible n brings tears to my eyes n id b labeled as a thug if u seen me...RIP every victims of these senseless crimes that shits crazy to me
the civil rights movement is a huuuge part of our history so i doubt tht ppl wont b talkin about martyrs like emmett till, but then again i bet ppl will kno who emmett till was like they kno who our 4th president was, generally they dont which is sad
how can u joke about something as despicable as lynching, and if ur talkin about emmett till he was beaten shot had his eye gouged out and drowned fyi by 2 men from mississippi
Unfortunately they werent white people you disgusting pig. You meant red necks you mixed white hill billy trash. Go get a culture and then we can maybe classify you as part of the white culture. You white americans are fucking nasty!!!!!!
God will send Justice to victory!! Think about it , if there is no hell...These men get away with it...Praise God they will never get away with it, neither will Hitler, Idi Amin and anyone else who does this type of thing
In a way, I feel kinda sorry for the men who did this dastardly thing. I sit here wondering even now, what drove Milam and Bryant, really? How could these grown men pummel the life out of a helpless child? They should have known that he was no threat to them, he was a child for heaven's sake.
It fucken disgusting how these filthy, rednecks are posing for the camra. They look like fucken hunters who just shot a new trophy. Pig fucking hillbillies! May they burn in hell!
all dat shit jus over whistlin at a southern redneck bitch...dont blame me if i got anything against white peeps from da south but jus dont mind me...imma go fuck klu klux klansmens daughter and watch him get shot fuckin wit me
You make me wanna puke! It's just as equally horrible
to see a minority murdered so brutally as it is to see a white person! You gotta problem with Italians too? Well this Wop has somthing special just for you (middle finger up)...FUNGLOLA!
Emmett Till was only 14 years old when he was killed. It's hard to believe that over a thousand people viewed this video, and so few people commented.
this is terrible how people can to this to other people.....how could u kill someone and live with ourself...R.I.P Emmett Till and everyone who was taken
Oh my god IKm white but im not racist but i can't belive what they have done to black people that's ridiculous .

I guess for them Emmett Till was a trophy. I'd say, though, that he (Emmett) was more of a sacrifice to the god of racial supremacy.
