Stuff like this, the Trayvon Martin story, the Jussie Smollett fiasco... really makes me question the Emmett Till legend.
Yup! Zact same here.
At one point after the Gentle Giant Michael Brown imbrolio the urban confabulation became, "He said, 'I just want to go to college and have kids..!'"
Early on they didn't know just how much they'd be able to get away with, that time, so they started out by really laying it on.
But you're right --it realllly makes you think.
"Emmett jes made a WOLF-WHISTLE at her, nothing more..!"
Oh suuuure..!
Sounds just like, "Trayvon was just walking home in da rain..!" instead of scoping out homes for his well-documented hobby, burglary.
It is amazing, the number of people who don't re-evaluate the past in light of our implausible present.
