In 1955 Mississippi, they didn’t mince words about what a Black kid did. If anything, they’d report it worse than it was.

If the story was that he whistled at the woman and paid with his life, that’s exactly what happened.

The Democrats and quite likely KKK members sent a message to other Black youth.

If Sweden hopes to survive they better find their inner Mississippi.

It was more than whistling but obviously not worthy of being killed over
Especially at 14

I could try to explain it ....the facts and nuance and aftermath

Freepers don’t care about all that

Facts have to fit preconceived notions around here or they are dismissed

As a rule

This case is like all racial events of that era

A life of its own
