NewsBusters readers might recall Stacey Dash, the black actress who was racially attacked on Twitter last year for having the nerve to come out in support of Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney.

Well, looks like she'll be dismissed once again as a Auntie Thomasina, or a house "......". Let's see, sounds like she actually researched somewhat to know there is a little bit of a difference between Emmett Till and the punk known as trayboi "No limit nigga" martin. (His words/tagline/twitter handle/facebook name, or whatever, not mine)

I believe there are certain rules for this sort of thread.

[PhiloBedo]

Oprah thinks anyone who won’t buy a ticket to her movie, is a racist.

[EEGator]

Rules.

Well, one woman is ready to be judged on merit. The other one is part of the whitey is guilty based on skin color.

[Norm Lenhart]

Well OBVIOUSLY she isn’t black enough to be allowed to have an opinion!

Wait for it. you know some jackass on BET will say it.

[InterceptPoint]

We all know Stacy Dash. And this picture will tell you why. The movie was a classic.

Thank you, Oprah, for further illegitimizing the race card. Every little bit helps.

"And the truth of the matter is, Emmett Till became a symbol for those times, as Trayvon Martin has become a symbol for this time. I mean, there are multiple Trayvon Martins whose names never make the newspapers or the headlines. The circumstances surrounding that allowed it to be, but there were multiple Emmett Tills. There were multiple lynchings. There were multiple, you know, young black boys..." - Oprah Winfrey

" We should ask ourselves, as individuals and as a society, how we can prevent future tragedies like this. As citizens, that’s a job for all of us. That’s the way to honor Trayvon Martin." - President of the United States Barack Hussein 0bama

t there were multiple Emmett Tills. There were multiple lynchings.

Actually, Oprah, that's not true. Emett was very nearly the last lynching in the South, and it's even questionable whether it meets reasonable criteria to be a lynching as opposed to a more garden-variety murder.

The distinguishing factor of lynching vs. murder is its public or semi-public nature, necessary if "they" are to be "kept in their place."

ET's killing was a secretive murder, and initial white response was outrage, with the white population only closing ranks behind the killers after a lot of trash talking from northern and black media. Which didn't make it right, but does make it somewhat understandable.

I liked her better here:

And she was 29 years old in that movie. She was playing a teenager and looked it.

Emmit Till was a victim that didn't deserve what happened. Trayvon Martin gambled and picked a fight he lost. He brought it on himself. If he didn't slam a head into concrete, he's be alive today. Darwin award.
