And how is that, exactly?

reply

That kid brought that shit on himself. He did something stupid in a place he shouldn’t have AND he was warned not to act out and he did! Bring back Jim Crow and maybe you’ll keep these savages today in check!

reply

Absolutely unreal.

reply

And what did he do that justified him getting killed?

reply

How would you like it if someone was disrespectful towards your wife????

reply

You know it was proved that she lied, right? Also whistling at someone shouldn't be a death sentence.

reply

I’ll remember that when I see your wife….

“She lied”? Well, I guess it sucked to be Till then, huh?

reply

You'll remember that so you can whistle at her? Ooooh big man.

reply

No, I’ll remember that when someone else does that to her. I’m a man. I know how to treat women, unlike some people, apparently….

reply

Why would you be there? That's creepy.

reply

I didn’t say I’d be there. I meant hearing about it on the news or reading it in the newspaper, moron.

reply

"I’ll remember that when I see your wife…."

That's definitely not how that comes across, you creep.

reply

I’ll remember that when I see your wife….

With your logic, since you're defending her, that means you would be okay with me killing you.

reply

I wouldn’t be dumb enough to whistle at a stranger, even in my single days. Have a little self-respect.

reply

But you're dumb enough to think that whistling at someone is grounds for murder.

reply

I don’t care. He should’ve minded his own business. He was warned not to act out, he did and someone took offense.

reply

Please never leave your house.

reply

I feel the same about you liberals.

reply

Liberals and conservatives are the downfall of society. You are proving me right with one of the sides right now.

reply

Oooooo!😆

reply

Are you sure that she lied? Last I heard, a cousin of Till's confirmed he did whistle at her.

While I don't think that warrants a death sentence, unless you think the cousin is lying, it seemed he did at least do that.

reply

I heard she lied. Who knows.

reply

Well in a court of law what you heard someone say would be called hearsay and not allowed as evidence. The reality is people should look at the actual evidence that was provided in the trial, to throw out random things you've heard or read after the fact is really ridiculous. Hell if you look at most stories written it says he was lynched... of course that ignores the fact that he was according to actual medical reports shot in the head. So already there are inconsistencies with reality and the common stories people read about it.

Now most people that are sickened by it look at the image of his body in the casket and assume that this was the result of the torture and mutilation that was perpetrated on him prior to killing him. If you just look at it, you would think he was brutally tortured in god knows what way... however, that ignores the fact that after he was killed he was dumping in a river in late August and not found for 3 days... if you took someone that was simply shot and dropped them in a river at that time of year in Mississippi you would get a body that looks as bad or worse than Emmett's. I'm not saying he wasn't beaten, he very well may have been... but to assume he was mutilated and tortured is conjecture and you could never tell given the amount of time the body was submerged in a river in the hot south. Frankly it is miraculous that by the time his body was found he hadn't been eaten by critters in the river.

At this point in time people making assumptions on what happened has gone beyond reality and gone into myth.

reply

I don't know if he was tortured or butchered, but what I heard was the she finally admitted to lying. Not sure where I heard it though.

reply

Read the article closely and not just the headline.

reply

I did.

reply

Now you know how people with gendered pronouns feel, welcome to the club. Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never ____ (fill in the blank). So this is what it's like on the other side of the spectrum eh? Just as bad.

reply

WTF are you talking about? Gender pronoun freaks need serious help! If you seriously need to tell someone what you are, you need to seek help.

reply

The Till family needs to get over it. I don't agree that the little punk should have been killed but he probably should have been sent to reform school. The Till relatives already tried to get Carolyn Bryant Donham arrested for lying to the court and they are now trying to get this warrant executed. The Bryant family worked with a writer on Bryant Donham's memoir and the author wrote an unauthorized book in 2017 that included quotes from Bryant Donham supposedly stating that she lied about the encounter. Bryant Donham disputes the author's quotes and allegations.

I thought you right-wing creeps were all for men having the right to sexually harrass women in public!


reply

Hey, you've got a point there!

reply

The OP is insane.

reply

No, just an asshole.

reply

Brings me back to classic IMDb.

reply

"Right wing creep", Otter? Is that what we're calling brazen white supremacist degenerates who openly support the brutal lynching of an innocent black child? Maybe we should call him a Trumper while we're at it. That will really drive home the point of just how much of a sick & depraved excuse for a human being the OP is.

reply

Please, go on! Write out all the insults I didn't have time to write, because I was sneaking a peek at my phone at work!

Use your creative powers, because in this gangrenous little asswipe who couldn't find his own dick with an electron microscope, you have an appropriate target for all the nasty things that were too awful to say in any other circumstance!

reply

My point was not to come up with creative insults but rather to express that "right wing creep" woefully misses the mark as an appropriate description for a depraved white supremacist who openly supports something so heinously evil as anti-black racial terrorism & child murder.

reply

Why are you attacking me for failing to insult the racist needledick in the way you want him attacked, rather than attacking the racist needledick himself?

Think about that.

reply

I wasn't attacking you but I have no control over whether you choose to take it as such. I also wasn't insisting that you attack or insult anyone but rather that I simply found your description to be somewhat inaccurate & lacking the appropriate context.

reply

Deliberate trolls like this one actually like it when they make people angry. Raging at them makes them feel powerful, but mockery, or pointing out their stupidity, makes them feel like the worthless losers they actually are.

Always laugh at trolls! It hurts them more than insults. If you say anything to them at all, which I don't see you doing.


reply

Brazen white supremacist low-lifes can be called out without directly engaging with them, as they strive to waste your time with trolling tactics but if I do reference them, I'm simply not going to mince words about exactly who & what they are. "This is not for their benefit but for others.

reply

Riiight, criticizing the people who DO engage directly with racists is more effective than trying to engage them yourself. Riiiight.

reply

I'm wary of mincing words with vague and ambiguous language. I'm sure it was an honest oversight but communicating exactly what you mean is important.

reply

Repeat after me: "I will not criticize my allies, when I could be using that time to attack my enemies".

reply

Allies should be willing to give & receive constructive advice on dealing with white supremacist deplorables.

reply

Anyone who thinks infighting advances a cause it too stupid to be allowed to participate in a cause.

reply

If giving a word of advice constitutes "infighting" to you then I simply do not agree with that logic & I suppose in our case then it's a good thing that we're not exactly allies in a joined cause but rather just strangers on the internet who sometimes have opinions that coincide. Also, the idea of "allowing" someone to stand against something as universally evil as white supremacy is quite absurd as basic human decency is not something that can be gatekept. Another bit of advice would be to agree to disagree on semantics so we can move on & you can get out of your feels for a moment & redirect them where they will be better served. I've seen you make some very good commentary on this subject in the past.

reply

Oh fuck off. I've wasted too much time on your thick-headed idiocy already.

reply

Well, that's disappointing. We may not agree on everything, but that sort of belligerence is misdirected & beneath you. Assuming your account hasn't been hacked by a troll who's trying to make you look ridiculous, I'll just leave you calm down, maybe have a nice herbal tea & hopefully the next time i see you you'll be back to engaging in the constructive input that I know you're capable of.

reply

I have no words for such a dim bulb, just finger gestures.

reply

Dude, his nickname is 'Threadkiller' for a reason, lol. Should've stopped right after he started responding. :P

reply

Why do you say that? Do you have an actual opinion about something?

reply

Yes, your description is better... but Otter's definitely works too.

reply

Yeah, I'm gonna make sure you get banned. Piece of shit.

reply

Wasn't it shit just like this that we lost the IMDb boards over? This is getting out of hand. It's all I see on here.

reply

In part, yeah. Part of it was scumbags like this, part of it was the all criticism is racist crowd.

reply

I can see why it got closed down. You have these odd little nerds who are obsessed with talking about this shit, instead of, you know, movies.

reply

Ahhhh, a liberal trying to censor someone? Who knew?

reply

That's not censorship.

reply

I was talking about one of “kuatorises” posts about getting me banned. Banning IS censorship….

reply

I guess technically it is, yes. But it's on one extreme end of the censorship spectrum. The warranted censorship end.

reply

There’s no “technically” about it. Silencing someone is censorship.

reply

[deleted]

Okay fine, but the shit you talk deserves silencing.

reply

Why, because I don’t give a damn about liberal values? Because I see through your buffoonery?

reply

Liberal values? Like human decency? I guess, yes, then. Being a racist and just an overall asshole should get you banned from public forums. For sure.

reply

Some black lives weren’t meant to matter.

reply

lame ass trolling

reply

No, I’m not trolling. I’m just sick and tired of this bullshit. The riots across America when that animal George Floyd got himself killed paid reparations and then some. Fuck Till, Floyd, Martin, Brown and those like them.

reply

What does Floyd have to do with the Till case apart from them being black? Are you racist?

reply

I didn’t bring race into this. They’re all animals who got what they deserved by doing stupid things. That is the common denominator.

reply

yada yada..

reply

Touched a nerve did I?

reply

None of these cases have anything to do with Emmet Till, you dumb fuck.

reply

Yes they do! They’re all brought about their own deaths doing stupid things you dumb fuck.

reply

Oh, look, another white supremacist on this site!
Don't you have 4chan to post this shit?
