Till was a 14-year-old black youngster who was murdered in Mississippi for whistling at a white woman. His death was a spark that ignited the civil rights movement in America. Two white men were put on trial for killing him, but in spite of strong evidence against them, an all-white jury acquitted them in about an hour.
On Aug. 31, 1955, three days after he had been abducted, Till's mangled body was found by a boy fishing in the Tallahatchie River, not far from Money. A 75-pound fan from a cotton gin was attached to his neck by barbed wire. He had been badly tortured: an eye was detached, an ear cut off, and he appeared to have been shot in the head.

Here to Emmett. A boy viciously beaten to death and tortured. Over 60 years has past and although some progress has been made, many black Americans walk in fear still today just for being black.
I grew up about 30 miles from where that happened. It's still so damn racist down there - not violently so as in decades past, but the racism is still so strong you can cut it with a knife. That's why I'll never live down there again.
According to some on this forum (actually many) blacks have only themselves to blame and the racism they experience is a figment of their imagination.

When I joined DP just three years ago, the racism by some of the DP conservatives wasn't so bad...but it's gotten significantly worse in the past year or so.
The liberals have riled up the blacks with their white guilt agenda, America is racist, etc and now you are dumbfounded as to why its gotten worse ... :screwy

Yeah, funny how the side that is truly multiracial and multicultural is somehow the racist one...but the one that has almost completely lily-white rallies and conventions (and unasked-for support from Stormfront and the KKK), they're somehow not even a little bit racist....

I have seen VERY LITTLE racism on this forum.

The conservatives I've seen who are racists get banned from this board. As a matter of fact, you can find them in the Uninvited Guests list. The conservatives who are regular posters here don't exhibit racist behavior. Are you reporting them when they do?
Racist remarks are against forum rules Glenn. Or have you single handedly redefined racist post to be any and all post that dare disagree with your own ?
SOME progress???? You cant be serious. The difference between today and 60 years ago is literally night and day.

Some progress made? Yes, because 60 years ago everyone would have agreed that a black man can be in the White House, or on the Supreme Court, or governor of a state or US Senator.... 60 years ago there were so many black lawyers, doctors, corporate CEOs, accountants, billionaires.....blacks were never denied for housing and loans, blacks weren't segregated.....
And by the way, this is coming from the guy that said slavery was okay. He thinks slavery was OK, but now he somehow gives a **** about the plight of black people? Give me a break.
