The Emmet Till Statue went up in the same Mississippi that is still ignoring undrinkable water in Black areas and white welfare theft (because that accusation is reserved to make sure Black people get resented) by someone who has the money and cooperation of authorities to steal much much more than any poor Black person ever could or would ( Not gonna name any names but his initials are Brett Favre).
So more empty symbolism to distract from a lack of real justice.
Unapologetically, the best way to heal this injustice would be the arrest of his false accuser who originally avoided arrest despite a warrant because officials "didn't want to" (you read that right. suddenly the abosolute requirements of their jobs magically became optional suggestions).
If this were a concentration camp guard during the holocaust, even all these years later, they would have hauled his half dead wheezing almost corpse into a courtroom oxygen tank, wheelchair and all.
This racist distraction is a white supremacists taunt to permanently remind us what they did yet pretend to be doing something for us. This is just passive aggressive bragging and gloating pretending to be a justice while the Carolyn Bryants, Bret Favres and Roman Polanskis get a free pass.
