Blah, blah, blah.

I can see the difference between 1955 Mississippi justice for a 14-year old black boy and justice for Newsome and Christian's killers.

I'm sure you can. Most black apologist can. Black on white crime is no less brutal but folks like you want to act like it is an atrocity that has no equal. This whole Brown and Treyvon circus are keen examples of this BS.

I lament the death of Christopher Newsome and Channon Christian, but Emmett Till's death was planned and brutal

Newsome and Christian were victims of convenience

Lament? - So this a 'random' crime which somehow makes it less brutal and noteworthy? Suffocation, bleach, being burned with gasoline, beaten with a table leg and raped notwithstanding.

Certain elements trot Till out like he is Mother Mary and everyone else is not worthy particularly if they are white.

Those who killed and tortured Newsome and Christian are ALL in prison. Look it up.

Those who killed, and admitted torturing and killing, Emmett Till walked free. The woman that Till was accused of making improper comments to didn't even testify at the trial.

Justice in many parts of the country was different for a case involving a white man and a black man in 1955. Any educated person with an open mind knows that.

I said 1955, but I'll also add 1964 and the murders (by acting county and city officials) of Andrew Goodman, James Chaney and Michael Schwerner for trying to register Mississippi blacks to vote.

Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin don't deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as Till, Newsome, and Christian. Neither Brown nor Martin died for any greater cause, it appears they died as a result of their own thuggery. And on the subject of Emmett Till, he wasn't the Civil Rights martyr that Andrew Goodman, James Chaney and Michael Schwerner each were.

And where in the name of Jerry Garcia did you get the idea that I think white on black crime is a greater atrocity than black on white crime?
