Happy heavenly birthday Emmett!
We will never let this go or forget how America has failed black people over and over.
Emmett’s life and legacy will live on, while his death will be a stain in America’s history. Thankfully, this tragedy led to the civil rights movement. If only Emmett could’ve seen the day❤ God bless him and his family✝️🩷🩷🩷
First time hearing details of this horrific unimaginable event. Pray for healing and peace. The Ugly of America
What about all the innocent white people that were murdered while accidentally walking in Congoloid neighborhoods. Build a monument to them on Venice Beach with a noose in their hand.
Why it seem like the world revolve around the smallest ethnic group of people
I think this is where the self h8 most black people suffer from when we look in the mirror comes from.
We never could protect ourselves or our offsping which brings us great pain, shame and sorrow. Fast forward to 2023 and kll our fellow bretheren and shame our women.
We kll what we see when we look in the mirror if only to escape it, it's never enough because we can only shed blood by the pint, till we thirst to kll the next man. Searching for never ending manhood that will never come.
Only more merciless pain when we look in the mirror and a more evergrowing need and insatiable desire to be within close proximity to whiteness and shed the skin that curses us😔
This is embarrassing, i didn't write this shytt, ignore it🤯🤯🤯😢
Emmett till was a misguided youth sent to the south to learn some manners. Was sent to relatives to work on his issues
he was just a child but they with their false white religion that was a fake form of christianity and their fake evolution science would not see that. They showed that child no mercy for a mere mistake if that. This country okayed the killing of this child but let the guilty go free nothing but pure evil. They showed no mercy to this child because of their entrenched racism that was planted there by the fake churches that Jesus foretold and their fake science and their politics and judicial system. All of this allowed for the entrenching of this evil that led to this childs death. America has not repented and will not repent. God will not forget , for a day yes the very day today that has gone by is how short a thousand years is to the Almighty the One beyond our Comprehension. God is not going to forget what you did to this child and how justice was denied what happened to this child. God will not forget the judgment to be brought against the fake churches the white evangelicals walking around in sheep clothing when they are nothing but wolves.
GOD BLESS THE TILL FAMILY 🙏❤️
I've noticed we keep recycling the same stories…heyyy…new info on 2pac…hey…. remember Marilyn… heyyy… remember this sad story …..Keep reinforcing the agendas.
Emmett Till's cousin, this pork chop preacher is complicit in Emmett Till's death!!! Do you want to know why the descendants of the American Freedman can't make major progress here in Amerikkka??? It's because of the civil rights generation, ie.. this pork chop preacher left us out here to die!!!!☹️
May God bless the family
The boy should have known better than to disrespect a White woman in Mississippi. He brought this on himself.
Southerners sucks in the south
Don't be fooled by Disney and Hollywood.
Evil country!
Emmet Mom 💜♾️☂️ I love her in real time .
Democrats blue wave coming ur way gop sucks vote Democrats donate to democrats Republicans going to lose again
The fact that the USA never saw fit to prosecute the barbaric killers will explain why racism was there from the get-go and will never go away.
Poor Emmett. 💐🕯💔.
