Meanwhile Caroline Bryant was still alive for years and they didnt do anything while she was here to get true justice for him.
Lol
.oney Mississippi..LET THAT STORE GET RUN DOWN..cuz they wants the world to Forget it
I’m just glad this happened, so our nation can finally be healed!!! We can all band together now , live in peace and harmony,… now the past can be left there , in the past , we unite. God bless
Nice try. 'I did you wrong. I do not apologize. I do not pay reparations. I do not atone. We just move on'...Nice try. There will be a reckoning. In this lifetime or the next.
Lololol
RIP MR. EMMETT TILL
💙🇺🇸🙏💙.
What a slap in the face with yhos .
Hate is not a Christian virtue. Hate comes from the evil one. Those that commited this heinious act are in a very uncomfortable place for all eternity, and so should that woman join them. I hope it was worth it. Hate is an evil thing.
what about Your "hate". You hate the people who lynched him. He probably was guilty like his father who the army executed for raping women in europe.
@@JIM87ificationyou clearly don't know history and stand on the side of the killers by blaming the victim! He was a kid...whistling isn't groping, touching or rape!!!
Accusing women of being "liars" just 'cuz it doesn't fit your narrative also isn't a Christian virtue.
@@DeLaCruz878 The woman actually came forward decades later and said she lied!!! So do you not believe her as a woman that she lied? And even if she didn’t lie, you’re saying that you’re ok with a kid being murdered for whistling? Wow
@@oatlaskennedy1308 She didn't say she lie about what happened, she said she believed the consequences were too drastic. The only ones lying are people trying to paint him as an innocent child when he clearly wasn't.
This really wasn’t even that long ago if he would’ve been 82 years old today. Most people in this comments have relatives that age or older
It's such a horrific tragedy. I learned about it this year. I think it should have been very well known. This should be in the history books.
if you just heard about this atrocious part of americam history this year, either you're 12 years old or our country's education system is failing us. (i'm willing to bet both are correct 😅).
Yeah I herd about this when I got grown I never herd about this in history class or anything
No bill not moment will bring Emmett till back.
Lo triste es que todavía hay personas que no entienden la historia de odio e injusticia de esta sociedad. Como madre no puedo imaginar el dolor y la impotencia de esa madre. Muy fuerte!
Poor kid. :( Jesus has him now.
Emmett Till was murdered for no reason at all and he didn't even have a chance to go to high school 🏫 and, it still hurts to hear about his death and his family still grieving over the whole ordeal.
That's true and that was a horrible injustice, but tens of thousands of black men have killed other black men since then. I don't support racism, but tragedy is tragedy. It's hard to complain about injustice and violence of a bygone era when your own people perpetrate violence and injustice against black men/boys present day.
@@billyin4c514Emmett did go to HS was a freshman
@loganblack4885 Okay, I didn't say otherwise. Once again, a terrible crime was committed against that young man. It was not right, and we're lucky that the racial sentiments and violence of that era have disappeared. However, if we care about young Africans men as a society then we should care about what's happening to them now.
If you believe this was over her being jealous of his clothes you are a very special kind of person.
@@billyin4c514 Six people were shot dead in Till's hometown last weekend, and another 30 or so wounded. It will be the same next weekend.
My mom and dad were 7 and 8 years old when this occured. They were literally 50 miles away when Emmitt Till was kidnapped and tortured. I learned about the death of Emmitt Till around 9 years old after watching a documentary.
I practice law in this courthouse. I’m thankful it’s been preserved and am also glad it’s still in use to honor Tills memory.
Rest in peace Emmett till 🙏
Nicole B. Simpson and thousands of others to.
Pretty sure theres a lot more important and impactful things taxpayer money could be put towards. So much theatrics for nothing.
Rip Emmett Louis Till and Mamie Elizabeth Carthan, you will be missed
It's about time to honoring Emmett Till . Shame it took a very longtime.😢
A monument is nice but as long murders like these still exist, what will this do. That woman was able to live a full like with zero consequences
Should never happened in the first place. Robbed a young man of his life and a woman of her son. Horrific end of a young man's life, makes me want to cry. 😢
If that had been a white boy the same age they would not have said nothing, their business closed and wife got a divorce after it was over, she couldn't sleep with her husband after that the sister law stay with her monster with the ball head. I lived in Alabama doing that time and a friend of mine did the same thing, the girl told her mother, she looked at us and drove off, that is what happens when kids stand around a store instead of getting your stuff and leave.
Will this national monument stop black on everyone crime?
Asking for a friend.
Nat Turner? This is stupid. He should be remembered as they were. Victims. They werent heroes.
❤
The president waited until that whyte woman was dead peacefully in her home. Then he threw this spectacle instead of giving emmit justice. Rip little boy.
Keeping racism alive CBS. Mainstream media is one of the top problems in America.
😐
Exactly
You think CBS keeps racism alive more than Foxnews?
In no way does this keep racism alive. Racism is a response and if the response from this monument is racism that is what came from the people.
PEOPLE ARE WHAT KEEPS RACISM ALIVE cant no one make anyone do something unless they choose to do it
May they both rest in peace. After reading some of the comments here, I can see that we still have a long way to go before we will truly love one another and sincerely care for our fellow mankind. God will have to settle it. I will make no more comments. So, trolls, you can save your breath.
Racial politics. 70 years after the act.
And the circus 🎪 show continues...🤡
Wait a minute, I thought the lady that accused him came out with the truth before she died saying that he didn’t do anything wrong?
That didn't happen..
The author of the book..
The blood of emmit till was responsible for lying to sell his book..
According to the fbi
She did but even if she didn’t what did he do wrong if it was true? Whistle?
@@biscaynesupercars she testified in court he put his hands on her..
As soon as he left she went to get a gun in a vehicle..
The whistle was to taunt her
There were witnesses she got a gun
She didn't lie, the Media did just like they fabricated the Martyrdom of Fentynl Floyd.
@@Michael-ct1rp does any of that make sense lol. Think about what you’re saying. A 14 year old black child touching then taunting a white women in mississippi during jim crow with witnesses and a gun was there and nobody did anything right at that moment. Its crazy that people are literally still believing and basically trying to make a case for lying women. You’d be one of the jurors that believed her and would justify what happened. And i know you’re going to try and say no no i’m not saying that, so then what should the punishment for a 14 year old child be that did that since you believe what she said?
It’s terrible what happened to that young boy hatred is so disgusting
It's not terrible. It's called Vengeance and the black boy got what was coming to him.
Not enough Love for George Stinney
He should've known better. Wasn't he educated to what he should not do .
That monument Should be in Washington D C.......
May justice prevail
Till was a grapist lol
I’m convinced Emmett and his mother would be far more appreciative of the passing of an anti black hate crimes bill.
What about anti white crimes. So many black people are rude asf to good white men and women.
Yay we get a sign and a label on the map to remind us
Ikr Smh
It’s to remind people what has happened. For example, I see young gay people out there criticizing trans people, they don’t realize that just 15 years ago they were hated, could not marry, could not be open, if a politician was to just mention gay marriage it was political suicide.
And now they’re in a position where they have someone to hate and fill like they’re above. I always say, if all Black people were to leave the US, I wonder who would then be next on the totem pole to hate. Believe me, there would be someone. Over in Europe during WW2, they didn’t have many minorities so they found other white people to hate and blame all their problems on.
It’s so funny, the same way gay people are now trashing trans people, Asian and Hispanic people trash black people, not knowing that if Black people weren’t here America would definitely find another group to hate.
I knew racist Middle Easterners during the late 90s and after 911 they got to taste for the first time some of the racism Black people felt. I believe if it wasn’t for 911, Obama would never have been elected. Notice how he had to constantly tell people he wasn’t Muslim or Middle Eastern. Not that he wasn’t Black but that he wasn’t Arab or Muslim because for that brief time, middle Easterners were below black people in the totem pole.
I read this in school, I never was the same, she purposely held that casket open, even having to see and go through the pain, she was making a statement that she should have never had to do.
This makes me cry all the time
Should have prosecuted the ol bish before she died
Never Forget. 😢
Who?
What?
Hebrews Chapter 9, Verse 27, It is appointed to men to die, after this comes the judgement, I cannot believe after the NOT GUILTY verdict, these two murderers were outside the court smiling as if nothing horrible happened, if none of them made sincere peace with Almighty God may God have mercy on them.
How do people like them, (The murderers, and Carolyn Bryant) sleep at night, I recall the lawyers that represented them were sickened after the trial.
The nation of Israel will be the one so win on the end we are Gods chosen people us so called blacks, Latinos & native Americans we are about to be out in a supernatural spiritual position to fight back in a way these yt folk have never seen before
Ezekiel 25:14
“And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of my people Israel: and they shall do in Edom according to mine anger and according to my fury; and they shall know my vengeance, saith the Lord GOD.”
The way his cousin was talking it was the normal thing that happen if anybody black said or did anything toward their women, some white women were throwing themselves at black men back then just like now, even in Money Miss. and other parts of the State they were doing in Alabama too I was around then and some said things to me walking down the road as a boy.
Thank u.
Overreacting much?
Wherler keeps makes emmett till look guilty. Those cousins did the same.
It's Sad How Us Blacks Don't know Emmett till or Stand on how brutal the police was an Still is to us
They have had a spiritual perpetual hatred toward us since biblical times
A very good initiative ....👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏bravo joe
He was warned about that but he was from a different area..he didn't understand.
😢
Good, horrific what these sadistic psychos did.

WTF?! Stay on topic.
@@johnstubbs3401 isn't the racist old man that I'm quoting the one they're claiming has the mental capacity to present the statue?
@@lacedariusmcknightenberg9454didnt he apologize for saying that?
Awesome it's about time
Make a movie get a monument. Next.
If more Emmett Tills happened there would be less crime in America
If more Ashli Babbitts happened there’d be less political crisis
@@olli.1717Let's Ashli Babbit all Racists, Trumpers.
I wish he didnt make that trip
How about a monument for Michelle Go, pushed in front of train in NYC
No ones stopping you from making one. Raise the $ n do it.But you won't bother.
Or Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom.
Idk her being "jealous" of his clothing seems like a stretch for what they did to him.
PLAYA,PLAYA
Is there a movie about his rapist father
Is there a movie about how roy and J W milam caught cancer
It's good to know how far we've come in the last 60 to 70 years. Today we have black men and women in prominent positions and sports stars and celebrities!
Will like it if it isn't other one of those they wait until you are dead for them to award,praise,and tell you how brilliant you are doings.
One thing about that word hate, there is no hate in heaven, people that do those things only hurt themselves
Interesting contrast between information propagation in the 1950s compared to the 2020s...things have gotten better, although it would appear at times that it hasn't gotten better enough.....
Publicity stunt. Stop with the empty proclamations and get laws passed. SMH
Emmett Till was told prior to visiting the South not to flirt with white woman.
There is little evidence he actually did flirt with a white women, but even if he did are you suggesting being ripped from bed, kidnapped, beaten, shot in the head and thrown in a river was warranted?
💔
I’m watching the movie Til now & it’s so sad 😢
Then come to find out she lied!!!
Wish they could be here to see this
" It's not about win or lose ..we all lose when they prey on the souls of the innocent "
" Blood drenched pavement..keep on moving while the waters stay raging "
RIP Emmett Till!
Rip Emmit Till
IT'S ABOUT TIME!
Is the monument a monument for tragedy?
Stop being obtuse. You know that the monument is commemorative, and why that is important. You apparently don't think it's important. I've read your other comments - you're subtly trolling. And I'm not here to argue with you, I'm here because you've got an agenda that you're hinting at but not revealing, so just spit it out in a top-level comment and maybe more people will engage you.
A true first responder and a hero!
Lol
Why?🤬
🔥 🕊 🔥
😇 🙏 😇
Rev: 2;8-11
AMEN!!
A noble gesture. At a time when some Americans are trying to learn and teach the lessons of racist hatred, others are trying to sweep it under the table. Could this happen in Ron Disantis' Florida?
SMDH!
Yes, another statue!!! This really helps!!
Well, building statues of Fentanyl Floyd certainly helped make America a better country, didn't it?
Statues help, but we can all agree that taking the labels of the syrup jars solved it all.
Ain’t that the truth!!
Still pushing this. Let's move on
NOPE!!
❤
Ya'll always say, "Get over it," or "It's in the past," until you bring forth a white issue..then it all of sudden matters and requires immediate attention.
Okay this was 68 years ago. Our CURRENT problems are enough.
You ever see the photos of his body? Would you say that is enough?!
@@holocaustchampion9978 Yes. Decomp is terrible
@@BobSmith-kd6lq Hello! This is earth calling. Maybe I should remind you that those animals BEAT and TORTURED him BEFORE they shot him.
A monument in the name of a fcking no one waw wtf has the U.S turned into😂😂😂
No one? He's known all over the world.
Jessica Chambers was set on fire with lighter fluid (also poured in her mouth) by a black man. She died from her injuries. Where's her statue
.
@@lennarthagen3638 he's a no one he didn't do anything for this country to deserve a monument he just happened to die from a beating by some cowards which happened a lot back then i don't see everybody else getting a monument
Most had never heard of him before. Myself included.
@@Dark-_-Matter_J
20 million dollars to restore a church. Who comes up with this prices. I have to say I’m for a monument but not at the river it will no last long.
#Insulting #Biden #EmmettTillMonument 🇺🇸 B1 FBA
That white lady lied on him need go to jail there are thousands of elderly black men in prison this lady deserves to be in prison she's a criminal
To late for that she's dead...
Yup their was a warrant for her arrest back then but the racist Police chief wouldn't serve it. The Prosecutor that came across the old warrant in the court records would issue it last yr when she was alive! Guess what he was Black go figure he decided to look the other way!
She is in heaven with Jesus now.
Hope she never had a moment's peace for the rest of her miserable life, looking at that thing was married to we can believe her life was hopefully miserable 😅😅
@@Johndoe345-k2d LOL
Well, thank goodness
Omg what about white monuments
The story makes no sense..
He was killed for what happened in the store..
Till whistled at her as she was retrieving a gun from a vehicle
Why has nobody mentioned louis till..Emmett daddy
What tf does he have to do with anything he isnt important
@@Gabby101talks like father like son
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree
Neither does it for his 2 killers that caught cancer either now hmm
What a good good honor.
Whatever 🙄
I'm sp happy, President Biden did this.
A monument to false accusations against men.
Excellent commentary. ❤
😂
I wish I could go back to 1955 went N. 16 5. Knew their place... I bet he didn't whistle to another W woman again... such a beautiful ending..
❤❤
Federal crime or not...that monument isnt going to last very long.
#tearitdown
Go ahead ,try it! 🤬🤬
I will tear it down!
This was a tragic event inour history but i dont believe it deserves a monument. Monuments are meant for people who have changed our country for the better, this only reminds us of how bad our history was. I do think that they should keep the plaque that is already in the city thatthis event happened so that anyone who wants to learn about this can but not a monument. I also feel the same about confederate monuments. They all should be taken down and placed in museum so people who are interested in learning about confederate history but the confederacy didn't do anything to better our country...
In Europe there are a number of monuments remembering the location of historic events that took place during the Holocaust. The reason is 1) a local and often times daily reminder, and 2) a memorial site for the lives lost. Confederate monuments/statues are not memorials they are symbols of reverence to traitors.
See the way I see it is the only way people would do anything for change is by shoving it in everyone’s faces no matter how difficult it is to see it. Now for confederate monuments I think it’ll be better to just put a plaque on it explaining who the person was and why it should be remembered.
how nice for this administration to waste more money and time. this money could of used for much better uses
It will be taken down, don't worry. 😂
Why?
❤
