So even after the people that did it confessed about what they did, some of you really actually hate blacks just that much to say “well I’m sure he did something”?
How fricking sick of a son of a b*tch must you be to post that on FR?
It’s been years since I read the Jet magazine confessions by the men who murdered the boy so I might get some of details wrong but here goes.
Till came to visit his Mississippi cousins from Chicago. They were fooling around outside the country store. His cousins warned him not to act “forward” to white women like he bragged doing back in Chicago. He didn’t listen to his cousins. Some disputed what happened next whether it was just a wolf whistle or a suggestion of having sex.
Whatever happened it got reported back to her family and the men decided to put the (White)fear of God into him. They went to the boy’s grandfather’s house where he was staying and demanded the boy come out. They roughed him out a little but being a tough Chicago nut to crack the boy wisecracked despite the grandfather’s warning to behave. They men escalated their actions and packed the boy into their car and headed to a repair shop where the boy was tortured, castrated and finally tied to a industrial fan and dumped into the nearest river.
That’s what I remember.
Interesting aside. If a white boy had done the same thing he might have wound up in the river too. There are parts of nearby county in my home state of Tennessee we were warned as young men not to be caught there after sundown. Unlike Emimitt Till, we heeded our elders and got back across the county line long before sundown
