As the summer scorches along, American cities are warzones of black on black violence. The leftist Gun Violence Archive reports over 400 mass shootings as of last Saturday, the earliest date for that milestone since they have been keeping track and probably by the first week of August we will have more mass shootings in the U.S. than the total number of mass shootings in a year from 2016 to 2019. Most media outlets are baffled as to what is causing all of these mass shootings other than “gun availability” and “binary triggers”, like this story shared by GVA from Time looking at the states with the highest rates of mass shootings:
The story provided this graphic:
Followed by this (emphasis mine)
The states with the highest rates of large-scale gun violence are mostly clustered in the south: Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and South Carolina, along with Missouri. With the exception of Missouri, all of these states were also among the five with the highest rates of social-related mass shootings, including the racist 2015 attack on a Charleston church. Louisiana also had the highest rate of crime-related mass shootings, and, along with Mississippi and Missouri, also came out near the top in domestic violence-related mass shootings….
…Though the authors of the study didn’t provide theories on why rates were higher in certain states and regions than others, the seemingly large variety in key motivations across mass shootings in the high-rate Southern states suggest that it may be worth investigating other potential common factors at play.

Other potential common factors? What ever could those be? I won’t bother doing the support work but I assume most people understand that the three states in the deep south (AL, MS, LA) are the blackest states in the country and in the other states (MO, IL, MD, TN), the mass shootings are contained for the most part in a single city, in the black neighborhoods: St Louis, Chicago, Baltimore and Memphis respectively. The Gun Violence Archive doesn’t like it when you push back on their narrative with some facts…
The point is that America’s cities are shooting galleries and the shooters are all piss-poor shooters and black. Clearly what the Federal government should be focused on….is a killing that happened almost 70 years ago. Yep, Ol’ Sniffy Joe, the Pedo-In-Chief, is creating a national monument to Emmett Till.
President Joe Biden will establish a national monument honoring Emmett Till, the Black teenager from Chicago who was abducted, tortured and killed in 1955 after he was accused of whistling at a white woman in Mississippi, and his mother, a White House official said Saturday.
Biden will sign a proclamation on Tuesday to create the Emmett Till and Mamie Till-Mobley National Monument across three sites in Illinois and Mississippi, according to the official. The individual spoke on condition of anonymity because the White House had not formally announced the president’s plans.
https://archive.ph/KF2O2
Not one, not two but three sites! This has echoes of George Floyd with his multiple lavish funerals with hugely expensive coffins and a plethora of famous race hustlers eulogizing a man who had been nothing but a piece of shit in life, right up to the moment that he died, hopped up on drugs, while resisting arrest after trying to pass a counterfeit bill. Now Emmett Till will be “honored” with a multi-site National Monument that no one will visit or care about.
I suspect most blacks on the street couldn’t tell you who Emmett Till was and don’t care, the only people that seems obsessed with him are liberal Whites and “Whites”, and a few black activist types. His story is as follows:
Till was a 14 year old black who reportedly was aggressively propositioning and sexually harassing a White woman named Carolyn Bryant Donham. He was taken from the house he was staying by her husband and another man, shot and dumped in the Tallahatchie River.
All of the pictures of Emmett Till look like these:
A young boy wearing a tie and looking innocent, even though contemporary accounts report Till was large for his age and the size of an adult man even at 14.
Emmett Till was the original proto-dindu nuffin good boy. He is always presented as a sweet, innocent 14 year old kid who just happened to proposition a 21 year old adult White woman. Perfectly normal behavior, we often wolf whistled at 21 year old girls when I was 14. Sure we were mostly scared to death of girls our own age, but an adult 21 year old woman was fair game. The woman he was harassing said he grabbed her wrist and then grabbed her around the waist. From Wikipedia:
During the murder trial, Bryant testified that Till grabbed her hand while she was stocking candy and said, “How about a date, baby?” She said that after she freed herself from his grasp, the young man followed her to the cash register, grabbed her waist and said, “What’s the matter baby, can’t you take it?” Bryant said she freed herself, and Till said, “You needn’t be afraid of me, baby”, used “one ‘unprintable’ word” and said “I’ve been with white women before.” Bryant also alleged that one of Till’s companions came into the store, grabbed him by the arm, and ordered him to leave.
Of course as the years went by, Till’s companions claimed none of this happened.
Decades later, Simeon Wright also challenged the account given by Carolyn Bryant at the trial. Wright claims he entered the store “less than a minute” after Till was left inside alone with Bryant, and he saw no inappropriate behavior and heard “no lecherous conversation”. Wright said Till “paid for his items and we left the store together”.
Huh, but then we read…
After Wright and Till left the store, Bryant went outside to retrieve a pistol from underneath the seat of a car. Till and his companions saw her do this and left immediately.
If Emmett Till and then Simeon Wright had simply gone into the store, purchased some candy and left, why did Carolyn Bryant go out to her car to retrieve a pistol? Again, according to Wikipedia…
The market mostly served the local sharecropper population and was owned by a white couple, 24-year-old Roy Bryant and his 21-year-old wife Carolyn.
Clearly they would have had black children in the store all the time, that was their customer base. So what DID happen if what she claims Till said was not true that would have led to Simeon Wright hustling Emmett Till out of the store and her going out to her car to get a pistol? Getting a pistol from your car seems like an odd thing to do in response to a mundane and very common transaction. It would seem to be the sort of thing a woman who was outraged or frightened would do, like a woman who was alone in a store who had been accosted and man-handled by a youth.
Parents all know that teens never lie or change their stories and that witnesses are always reliable, especially years after the fact. Remember “Gentle Giant” Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri and witnesses swearing up and down that he had his hands up before he was shot until, oops!, we found out that was a lie. With the passing of years and political attention the case brought, it would at least seem plausible that there would be some pressure on Till’s friends to embellish, recant or alter their testimony.
Let me be clear that killing Emmett Till for what he did is extreme. Kicking his ass up and down the street would seem appropriate as a lesson to not act that way toward women, but killing him? But these were different times and I suspect that even a White kid who had accosted and grabbed Carolyn Bryant would have had the crap beaten out of him at the very least. If some punk kid accosted my wife he would get an ass beating at a minimum and in saner times when he got home he would get another ass beating from his dad. So I am not offering this as a defense. What I am saying is that Emmett Till has been turned into a sanitized, carefully manufactured political tool.
When a black is killed by the police, it is startling how quick several things happen….
- Benjamin Crump or some other race-hustling, ambulance-chasing, often with a Stein on the end of his name, lawyer shows up and wraps his arms around the mama of the dead black.
- “Civil rights activists” begin to swarm around, drawn to any cameras like a moth to a flame.
- The dead guy’s family has shirts printed up with a picture of the dead black guy, usually in a cap and gown (ex Michael Brown) or his prom outfit (ex Ahmaud Arbery) with “Justice For Defribillius” or some other slogan.
What you don’t see….pictures of the dead black guy flashing gang signs, or smoking a blunt, or with handfuls of cash or the ever popular displaying of gold teeth and pointing a gun at the camera.
The media is responsible for this, accomplished via a careful blaquewashing of the dead guy to turn him into a good boy who dindu nuffin, devoted to his kids (but not his various baby mamas), and is starting a new job as a sandwich artist at Subway or concentrating on his “music” (making occasional low quality rap videos) or going back to community college.
It is a sneaky strategy, one that works unfortunately, and it goes back to Till. The encounter now is turned into “flirting” with a White woman, attributed to a speech impediment or even claiming that he was whistling at a checkers game rather than the woman. Today Emmet Till is an unimpeachable martyr with a tragic narrative that exemplifies racist America, a narrative we are not permitted to even question.
Even his father is now above reproach. Till’s father was one Louis Till. Louis Till and Mamie Till were married in October of 1940 and Emmett was born July 25 of the following year. Things went sideways pretty quickly from there:
Their only child, Emmett Louis Till, was born on July 25, 1941. Mamie left her husband soon after learning that he had been unfaithful. Louis, enraged, choked her to unconsciousness, to which she responded by throwing scalding water at him. Eventually Mamie obtained a restraining order against him. After he repeatedly violated this order, a judge forced Till to choose between enlistment in the United States Army and imprisonment. Choosing the former, he enlisted in 1943.
Nice family. Mr. Till didn’t end up as a war hero….
While serving in the Italian Campaign, Till was arrested by Military Police, who suspected him and soldier Fred A. McMurray of the murder of Anna Zanchi, an Italian woman, and the rape of two others in Civitavecchia. A third soldier, James Thomas, was granted immunity in exchange for testimony against McMurray and Till. Thomas, testified that Till and McMurray took 20 minutes to plan the home invasion and had sex with the two women. Investigators stated that a letter envelope was found at the crime scene addressed to McMurray. McMurray testified that Till said, “Everybody follow me: If anybody turns back I’ll blast him.” McMurray also testified that he begged Till not to shoot, but that Till had fired a shot into the house which killed Zanchi.
You can see how this is problematic. Daddy was a rapist and murderer who had raped two White women and murdered another White woman. When Emmett Till was killed, the details of his father’s conviction and execution were published in what was clearly intended as a means of discrediting the Emmett Till story. Along comes a guy named John Edgar Wideman, a black author, who claims without any actual evidence as far as I can tell, that Louis Till and another black man were not guilty.
The army was still segregated at the time, and he and another African-American private, Fred McMurray, were found guilty by an army court-martial of raping two Italian women and murdering one during an air raid in 1944. Both men were hanged. Wideman isn’t convinced of their guilt.
“Louis Till nor Fred McMurray ever had a chance,” Wideman tells NPR’s Scott Simon. “It was decided long before anybody even knew their names that some black soldiers are going to take the fall for these crimes.”
https://archive.vn/OAXMK
Did you catch that? He decided that they were not guilty because of a conspiracy that Wideman apparently whips up out of thin air. Throughout the brief interview with NPR, Wideman implies that the guilt of these two men was in question because of the circumstances of those times, not because of any exculpatory evidence. Not coincidentally, John Edgar Wideman has a brother who was sentenced to life in prison for murder and Wideman also has a son, Jacob Wideman, who was convicted of murder for stabbing a teenager named Eric Kane to death while the kid was sleeping.
Because of one book, many leftists will now argue that not only was Emmett Till completely innocent, but that his father Louis Till was also innocent of murder and rape. Whatever it takes to prevent anyone from casting doubt on the holy nature of the “civil rights” martyrs, from hiding the truth about what a piece of shit Martin Luther King Jr. was as a person to manipulating the news coverage of contemporary martyrs like George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery, the man we are told was murdered for “walking through a neighborhood”, or even jogging wearing work boots, even though he had an extensive criminal past and was on camera snooping about a house under construction.
Perhaps Emmett Till really was a gud boy who dindu nuffin, cruelly murdered for the crime of politely paying for some candy from a White woman’s store that catered to blacks. Or perhaps he was a jackass 14 year old who saw a pretty young White woman, alone in a store, and decided to make clumsy moves on her that included being handsy and paid for his behavior with his life. We will never know, we can never know, as Till is long dead, as is the woman he is accused of manhandling and the men who killed him. That doesn’t matter because one version of his memory is permanently enshrined now and that memory, whether accurate or not, is the model for every gud boy who dindu nuffin ever since.
It’s enough to make one wonder how long they have been erecting memorials to events that have been misportrayed
I can think of one rather significant example of that….
They tear down monuments to men with courage and integrity because not one of them have a nickel’s worth of either.
They erect monuments to crude charlatans and avaricious scoundrels because they all have these traits in abundance.
Also in progress: The disposal of all white history and culture and replacing it with judaized mud (a.k.a. woke) delusion and perversion.
Save as much white-centric books and media as possible before they ban it completely.
Yes to that
The pistol comment is new to me. The hate that the Left had for a woman who was attacked even when she was old tells you everything you need to know.
I am surprised they didn’t scrub it from Wikipedia but I archived that page just in case.
Chiraq has the plaque where dingle Barry kissed Big Mike for Triumph to poop on.
Look up the states that have more people on welfare than working, almost all of the states around Indiana.
Saw a great description of IN online, the South’s middle finger.
Dindus are probably upset about the EBT cards not going as far anymore after they voted for Brandon.
A tiny violin plays Misty.
My wife and I are both from Ohio but we like Indiana a lot more, I can’t imagine ever moving from here.
It’s amazing how quickly #MeToo and #BelieveAllWomen are abandoned when someone higher up the victim totem pole is the challenger.
Rotten apples don’t fall too far from rotten trees. The Tills certainly sound like an “interesting” bunch.
If any of those new Emmett Till statues include the epitaph, “He wuz a gud boy. He dindu nuffin’.” I will literally shit myself right there on the town square laughing.
Thanks, Art, for the background stuff on the Till ‘family’; I had never heard that much Detail about them, and really, never GAF about “po’ lil’ Emmitt”. While the punk deserved a Beating, the Murder was a bit too Far. The Fact that No One ever was convicted just showed the Culture at the Time in the South, that blacks were held to a higher standard of behavior than Today… /s/
The fine art of Niggering explained.
