Biden designates new national monument to honor Emmett Till, Mamie Till-Mobley
The Hill ^ | 07/25/2023 | CHEYANNE M. DANIELS

President Biden on Tuesday signed a proclamation creating a national monument in honor of Mamie Till Mobley and her son Emmett Till, the 14-year-old whose brutal killing in Mississippi helped galvanize the civil rights movement.

The monument, spread over three sites in Illinois and Mississippi, will tell the story of Till’s murder in 1955, and of his mother’s efforts to ensure it would never been forgotten.

“I can’t fathom what it must have been like,” Biden said Tuesday — on what would have bill Emmett Till’s 82nd birthday. “It’s hard to believe I was 12 years old. I know no matter how much time has passed, how many birthdays, how many events, how many anniversaries, it’s hard to relive this.”

How about a monument on the wharf in SF for Kate Steinle?

But, of course! I’m waiting for Joe to make up some easily disproved
story about him knowing someone from Emmett Till’s family or church.
Maybe Joe even got invited to a rally for Emmet Till by Corn Pop, but darnnit! Joe’s parents would not let him attend.

So apparently Biden has forgotten that his own son died? He should have some idea what it feels like.

I’m tired of hearing about black people. They are the worst demographic in the country and Giving them holidays and statues isn’t going to fix that.

.
He should make a monument to the scores of Judges that have kept his name from being used in Prosecutions and Investigations - including ones where people were locked up only to gain leverage over them for Joe.

And the Raid for his daughter’s Diary!

I’ll bet Jo Jo went through a lot of Chapstick kissin’ ass with this one. Someday, I hope Americans get to do the “cancel culture” routine.

What about the white couple that was kidnapped, raped, tortured and murdered by a group of black kids? Somewhere in Tennessee I think. Guess they don’t qualify.

Statues represent the physical manifestation of a generalized myth/story government & society wants to believe about itself

The Left wants to institutionalize and fix in cement the notion that the USA was/is fundamentally racist, that black victimhood is the most important and untouchable of all political concerns, and that only through woke/marxist struggle was justice achieved.

Some here want him for Trump’s VP.
Never mind the 2 felony arrests and lack of accomplishments.
He’s black and can talk.
ACU scores are inflated by meaningless votes on bills that will never pass.
There’s a contingent here that glom on to loser after loser.

Since Roe v. Wade legalized abortion in 1973, abortion has killed an estimated 20 million black babies — more than the entire black population of 1960.
