when i was going through my slump,
i wanted to post about the following story.
i said as soon as i started posting again,
i would make an entry about it.
so i know everyone knows the tragic story about emmett till.
if not,
ima post a documentary within the entry.
well just recently,
his accuser that caused his murder came forward with the truth.
she admitted she lied about everything that caused his death.
this is what this she-jackal revealed to the world last week…
Emmett Till was a 14-year-old black boy lynched after a Mississippi woman, Carolyn Bryant Donham, claimed he made “advances” on her. His killers were acquitted of kidnapping and murder by an all-white, all-male jury. Then, free of further legal jeopardy, they admitted to it. Their casual indifference and impunity helped catalyze the civil rights movement.
Last week, we learned Donham admitted she lied.
In a new book, The Blood of Emmett Till (Simon & Schuster), Timothy Tyson, a Duke University senior research scholar, reveals that Carolyn—in 2007, at age 72—confessed that she had fabricated the most sensational part of her testimony. “That part’s not true,” she told Tyson, about her claim that Till had made verbal and physical advances on her. As for the rest of what happened that evening in the country store, she said she couldn’t remember. (Carolyn is now 82, and her current whereabouts have been kept secret by her family.)The New York Times adds that “As a matter of narrow justice, it makes little difference; true or not, her claims did not justify any serious penalty, much less death.”
… among thousands of lynchings of black people, this one looms large in the country’s tortured racial history, taught in history classes to schoolchildren, and often cited as one of the catalysts for the civil rights movement.
Photographs in Jet Magazine of Emmett’s gruesomely mutilated body — at a funeral that his mother insisted have an open coffin, to show the world what his killers had done — had a galvanizing effect on black America. … The Justice Department began an investigation into the Emmett Till lynching in 2004, Emmett’s body was exhumed for an autopsy, and the F.B.I. rediscovered the long-missing trial transcript. But in 2007, a grand jury decided not to indict Ms. Donham, or anyone else, as an accomplice in the murder.
“I was hoping that one day she would admit it, so it matters to me that she did, and it gives me some satisfaction,” said Wheeler Parker, 77, a cousin of Emmett’s who lives near Chicago. “It’s important to people understanding how the word of a white person against a black person was law, and a lot of black people lost their lives because of it. It really speaks to history, it shows what black people went through in those days.”
i am so disgusted at this story!!!!
i cried in my room after reading her heartless confession.
like…
how do you just admit you lied on an innocent cub to get murdered???
then she has a book set to release in 2038 detailing her admission???
this sick bitch!
this is what she allegedly looks like now:
they need to lock her old ass up.
she should not be able to get away with this.
i hope her days were filled with absolute hell leading up to this.
both of the jackals involved in killing emmett died of cancer.
i read the whole family had it rough afterwards.
i hate emmett mother passed without seeing any kind of justice.
i feel like the till family should sue her stupid.
this often makes me wonder…
How do black wolves feel so comfortable to date snow bunnies after crimes like this?
how many times have snow bunnies lied on black wolves?
it has either caused their demise or fucked up their lives.
i’m not saying all snow bunnies do this,
but there are plenty of examples.
i hope there is justice for emmett after all these years.
if carolyn doesn’t pay for it on earth,
she will more than likely get dealt with in hell:
for those who don’t know the story:

it is such a sad story.
emmett’s mother passed in 2003.
may she and emmett rest in peace.
I was a child and I will Never forget August 28th 1955. It was the first time my parents had the black boy conversation,, I could feel their anger.. Everyone knew it was a lie! But his Mothers insistence on that coffin be opened for the world to see, was a turning point in my life.
Tajan I am now teaching black history at our local Library and these are the topics we are working now. Emmett Louis Till’s Death started me on this journey to understanding what an amazingly strong group of people we are!
The world at large has always known she lied.
Ironically one of my good friends who lives in the Northeast called me this afternoon and told me how he lost his job on the word of a white woman who got mad at him who was not his supervisor when he dared defy her orders, he said it was not the first time that she overstep her bounds. White bitches are EVIL and I try to stay away from these devils, his story made me so mad and I know that it is only going to get worse with Chester Cheetos in charge, his racist supporters are feeling embolden to treat the others like trash. We are probably going to be worse off as far as rights on the job, with this administration they will always rule for the company.
Please pick up the book by the late author Bebe Moore Campbell, “Your Blues Aint Like Mine” which was based on Emmett Till’s story but in a novel form. Emmett story was one of the first I remember my parents telling me about as a young child, so thankful my parents took the time to tell me and my siblings about how things really where back in the day. There teachings have guided me to this very day and I have a love for history especially Black history, sadly this was commonplace in Mississippi and all over the South. This old white bitch probably sleeps like a baby, these people have no soul.
Even as a child this story always got to me, to be honest black history month used to scare me when I was younger. Not so much learning about it but hearing and seeing the stories like this one used to give me nightmares.
To me her reveling the fact that she lied does nothing but seem like her trying to relieve her own guilty conscience. Lie or not what they did to him was wrong we all know that. I usually try to look at the good in everyone I won’t judge an entire race based of certain people.
Amazes me how prosecutors can dig up Bill Cosbys victims from 35-40 years ago and destroy his legacy, but this demon cause the sadistic murder of a CHILD and has lived he life carefree. She’s probably still a racist and doesn’t care either way. She’ll see god on day and have to suffer for her actions, till then, I’d sue that ass….
It’s not surprising. Every individual involved more than likely knew it was a lie. Including the judge and jury. And even if it wasn’t a lie, it doesn’t justify his murder. She’s a coward. Always was. Always will be. I could go on but this really disgusted me. I really don’t understand how someone could live with themselves knowing that they caused the murder of an innocent child.
^110%
this story REALLY bothered me.
the documentary REALLY bothered me.
like,
all it takes is one lie to have your whole shit fucked up.
not only that…
FOR THE MURDERERS TO GET OFF SCOTCH FREE!!!
I was listening to LovelyTi’s commentary on the situation while I was on the train. I was just questioning life. How can someone be so evil? I mean genuinely evil to lie and have someone else’s child killed on a predicated lie? White people are the Devil. Not just white women. I’m not just name calling. They prove it everytime with this institutionalized racism and hate. Their history is a violent one and they prove that time and again they are unable or unwilling to live in people with any other shade of people. They go to faraway lands and claim them in the name of their King and thier God and begin to make that land in their image. They pit brother against brother and then tell others that these two groups of people are uncivilized. These people have destroyed entire ethnicities and civilizations. Don’t trust them. As for this dog, she is a completely evil and reprehensible woman who I hope will not know peace in this life or the next.
^the story sickens me.
can we say ALL of them are evil tho?
i don’t want to throw them all in a box.
some are genuine and do appreciate us.
…or am i being too optimistic?
Jamari, as a collective, I believe that white people ain’t shit. Individually, great white people exist but I agree with the above comment. They are willing to step on the backs of any other group to propel themselves forward. And they’re willing to do that at any cost.
Yes all of them. You have those white people who love you….until you get them mad. You have white people who are very blatent about where they stand on how they feel about us and other people of color. You have those who care, but make sure that we know our place in social society, you have those who care, but would never want to change how the way things are in society in terms of the economic dynamic or the social racial structure in place because it would take away from their power and privilege, you have those who feel deep inside that things aren’t right but will not speak up because of fear of their fellow white person’s wrath or because they are scared, you have those that don’t care about anything at all. All roads lead to racism with them in one form or another. If it’s not all of them, Emmitt Till wouldn’t have died because the “good” white ones wouldn’t have allowed it. You can smile, be friendly, be nice, cool or whatever the case may be with them. I do not trust white people and history bears witness to thier handiwork. Just my point of view.
