Head of NAACP Claims Rittenhouse Verdict Was 'Worse Than Emmett Till Trial'

The "not guilty" verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial has really brought out the worst in the already unhinged left. We keep saying it, because it keeps on happening. On Friday night, during "The Last World with Lawrence O'Donnell," fill-in host Zerlina Maxwell discussed the verdict with Derrick Johnson, the president and CEO of the NAACP. During the show, Johnson claimed the verdict was "worse than the Emmett Till trial."

"This was worst than the Emmitt till trial. This was worse than so many trials where we know for a fact individuals committed murder and yet they were not brought to justice. It is unfortunate, but this is America," he said claimed.

Johnson went on to list off a whole slew of falsehoods, with no pushback from Maxwell, to claim that a federal crime had been committed.

And oh, it's Trump's fault:

Anyway, Kyle has 2 intern offers on the Hill from 2 congressmen.

I hope he works in an office next to AOC's so she has to hide in her closet weeping in fear every time she sees him.

All I can say is that thank God there was video. It proves all these groups and the President are dead wrong....and they have an anti white agenda alongside their anti gun campaign.

It’s just my humble opinion, but I have to believe a rapidly growing number of Americans previously sympathetic to the plight of blacks and the cause of civil rights have about reached their puke point with the likes of the NAACP, BLM, Democrats of every color and most of the media cranking out bilge like this.

It’s like, “you’re once again calling me a racist? Fine. Whatever. Now GFY.”

Crazy how they’re all trying to turn this into a race thing.

Rittenhouse defines what’s good & free in the world - in much the same way Emmett Till did...

In the old South White Democrats burned down black towns... Different time, different color of victim - same democrat evil... Was it OK for white KKK democrats to burn down black towns? NO. Was it OK for white Antifa and black BLM democrats to burn down towns? NO.

White democrats in the old South never felt burning down black towns was wrong, but they did objected to ‘interference’...

Think about this:

Imagine a black 17 year old kid walking into the fray while white KKK democrats were burning down a black city. And the black teenager, carrying a gun decides HE will try to protect some of the town’s buildings.

We’ll call him Riddenhome...young black man... more courage than fear.

In the old tradition of overseers - going back to the days of slavery, three black men - criminals (antifa) - were assisting the KKK burning down the city... They attacked Riddenhome... and Riddenhome shoots them - killing two fellow black men.

Fast forward to the trial - the white community is outraged a 17 year old black kid would try to stop the KKK and white people from expressing their rage and the black teenager is is on trial.

Which way would you black bimbos and white enablers call the trial...

Think about the parallels ... democrats were evil then and they’re still evil today. Changing the color or victims... still evil.

The Professionally Black BIN network in Atlanta has been playing this time non-stop since midday Saturday. They MUST tie in the racial slurs somehow!

Yes but the white criminals were down with the struggle for the black criminals to burn, loot and murder. I love an organization that still uses an out of date term like “colored” in title talking racism. Silly Colored Negros!

Emmett Till was a black Chicago teenager who was killed in Mississippi in the 1950s by two white men, who got off in their trial. One of the white men was the husband of a woman who claimed she was harassed by Till. Till apparently was trying to impress the local black kids by his outrageous behavior and should have just gone home to Chicago afterwards instead of waiting around for the husband to kidnap him. The case got a lot of attention and apparently motivated civil rights activists of the time to be more bold and energetic in their efforts to end the Jim Crow system.
