The cousin of Emmett Till, the black 14-year-old tortured and lynched in 1955 in Mississippi, appeared on MSNBC Friday morning and compared the murder of his cousin to the killing of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.
Trayvon was fatally shot during an altercation by former neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman, a Hispanic, who was found not guilty on all charges.
“The comparison to me is similar; there are a lot of parallels between Emmett Till and Trayvon Martin,” Simeon Wright began. “Number one: Trayvon was killed by a white boy that got out of his truck armed to the teeth — chased him down, did kill him. And then the jury did the same thing they did in 1955 with Emmett Till: they came back with a non-guilty vote.”
Mr. Wright went on to say that he doesn’t believe much has changed in the way of race relations in America.
“I asked my wife this morning if she had ever been consulted on one of these polls [that show racism is less of a problem today]. I’ve never been asked about one of these polls,” he said.

Liberals are nasty, disgusting people.
In other news, two plus two equals five.
That ought to result in a libel or defamation lawsuit.
Won;'t, though. (Sigh.)

They revel in stupidity. It’s like a badge of honor.
I wonder what Till’s cousin would call the thugs who brutally murdered Chris Lane and Delbert Belton..oh who am I kidding he would probably call them heroes
I think I've been contacted once in my 50-some years for an opinion poll. Other than those fake push-polls in election years.
Most polls contact only a few hundred or thousand people. With 300M Americans, your chance of being one of those chosen for a particular poll are not great.
George should have known that Saint Skittles had no intention of killing him, just breaking a few bones. If George had not overreacted and just allowed himself to be beaten, Saint Trayvon would be with us today.
White boys should not be allowed to defend themselves against feral Trayvons. We must protect our feral black youth.
...”armed to the teeth’...ROTFLMAO! Where do they get these lint-heads?
What did Emmitt Till do to deserve to be called an idiot? (He was murdered in 1955?)
Crazy what happened to Pritchett aye Travis.
‘He’s dead, Jim’.
As hard as libs are trying to hold onto this lie, it is slipping between their fingers and driving them batsh-t.
I had not heard about it until I saw your post.
It just did not fit the media’s propaganda direction.
Speaking of Emmett, Detective Emmett Dupas lived to tell the story of this racially motivated encounter. This stuff is not new.
