Emmett Till, a Chicago teenager visiting relatives in Money, Mississippi, during the summer of 1955, was accused of flirting with a white woman. Klansmen took him to a barn. They beat him and gouged out one of his eyes. Then they shot him in the head and tossed his body in the Tallahatchie River.

It's fair, I think, to point out that Till died not because he flirted but because he refused to cower.

The guys who kidnapped him were relatives of the women, and felt obliged by community standards to "put him in his place."

Their beating was just not for the fun of it, but to force him to grovel, thus reinforcing the rightness of racial hierarchy.

Till refused to do so. They continued the beating until it became obvious he was going to die, so they then felt they had no choice but to finish him off.

Not defending the racist arseholes, but they did not initially plan to kill him. The story is more complicated, as usual, than the one usually spread.

The Till murder would have passed without comment in 1900 or the 30s. By the 60s it was no longer acceptable, even in the white community.

This is certainly true said the former leftist who adopted four black infants and discovered the enormous racism of the left.

They “loved” my children in the way “one marvels at the dog that speaks, not for his words, but rather, that he speaks at all.”

I am trying to remember the quote from the well-known person who said that the racism on the left dwarfed the racism on the right.

” they have two standards of behavior: one for whites and a lower one for blacks”, not just them Dr. Williams. As Fred Reed wrote back in October;
“It is curious that blacks, the least educated thirteen percent of the population, the least productive, most criminal, and most dependent on governmental charity, should dominate national politics. Yet they do. Virtually everything revolves around what blacks want, demand, do, or can't do. Their power seems without limit.”

There is now in place a two tiered Just-us system same as most Banana Republics.
Jim Crow is now Trayvon Crow.

Liberals don't view blacks as people, but as property. Their property.

Walter, I’d vote for you in a New York minute!

Let's cut to the chase:

The news media and intellectual elite don't condemn Sharpton or Obama, because they have two standards of behavior: one for whites and a lower one for blacks anyone they happen to be interested in using to advance themselves

Anyone can be used as a stalking horse.
