It must be damned difficult for the idiot trump’s Nazis to decide which flag to wrap themselves in from one day to the next. There is the Russian flag, which has become a recent favorite among them, since the idiot trump was convinced by Putin (wink, wink) that Russian hackers did NOT interfere with the 2016 election:
Then there is their traditionally oldest pride and joy, the Confederate flag:
But best of all they like the Swastika from Nazi Germany, which the idiot trump has freed them to display proudly:
However, through all of this, the idiot trump’s Nazis’ convoluted logic still permits them to believe they are U.S, patriots, who are angered when the U.S, flag is disrespected.
Now, the idiot trump’s Nazis are complaining a memorial to the losing general of the War Between the States has been vandalized. After all none of the idiot trump’s Nazis would ever dream of damaging a memorial to anyone’s memory. (yeah, right.)
Everyone knows the blatant racism of his mindless minions the idiot trump released upon the nation. So their whining about the vandalizing of any memorial to past traitors to the U.S., once again proves their abject stupidity. Not to mention the Nazis’ ever-present hypocrisy.
In this thread, like most others, the idiot trump’s Nazis are boasting of their great knowledge of history, which is natural, since they believe they are experts in all subjects. (See: The Dunning-Kruger Effect [or Why Stupid People Think They Are Smart]
The Dunning-Kruger Effect Shows Why Some People Think They're Great Even When Their Work Is Terrible )
But, does the idiot trump’s Nazis’ “vast" knowledge contain the history of Emmett Till? Not likely.
So, to add to the Nazis’ self-proclaimed knowledge of everything, Emmett Till was an African-American teen from Chicago, who in 1955, was visiting family in Money, Mississippi, just a month after his fourteenth birthday.
On August 24, while at Bryant's Grocery & Meat Market in Money, he was accused by Carolyn Bryant, of whistling at her and making verbal and physical advances. Bryant was white.
Four days later, Emmett was murdered by the white woman’s husband Roy Bryant and his half-brother J.W. Milam. After the men beat him to death, they wound barbed wire around his neck using it to tie a 75-pound cotton-gin fan to his body, they then rolled his body into the Tallahatchie River.
Within a day after Till's disappearance, both Bryant and Milam had been arrested for his abduction. Both men admitted to taking Till from Wright's home, but insisted that they let him go in Money. Despite much evidence and of their guilt provided by the prosecution during their trial, the all-white jury found them “not guilty” after an hour of deliberation.
On August 28, 1955 Emmett Till was kidnapped and murdered by Bryant and Milam. They were arrested the next day, and by September 23, less than a month after the murder, Bryant and Milam were acquitted. It was gratifying moment for white supremacists.
However, knowing they were safe due to double jeopardy, Bryant and Milam eagerly accepted $3,500 from Look magazine for their story in early 1956, where, they admitted their guilt and described their crime.
Till's shocking murder became national and then international news after his mother insisted on an open-casket funeral so the world could see what happened to her son. Photographs of Till's battered face ran in the black press, and tens of thousands of Chicago mourners filed past his coffin over a five-day period. This inspired Rosa Parks’ December 1, 1955 refusal to give up her seat to a white man on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama.
So that gratifying moment for white supremacists, that was short lived when the world learned of Bryant’s and Milam’s boast. Coupled with their Look article, the open casket funeral of Emmett Till, and Rosa Parks’ actions in Alabama, the Civil Rights movement in the United States was jump-started.
In the book written by Timothy Tyson,
The Blood of Emmett Till, published in January 2017, the author reports that during interviews, Carolyn Bryant recanted her testimony, admitting that Till had never touched, threatened or harassed her. “Nothing that boy did could ever justify what happened to him,” she said.
Last month another of several monuments to Emmett Till was vandalized. It is the third to be erected in the location where his body was found. Weeks earlier, the monument to Till at the former location of the Bryant’s Grocery Store in Money, Mississippi was vandalized. Other locations in a total of eight monuments and memorials to Emmett Till include the Sumner Court House where the trial of his murderers was held, and is now Emmett Till Interpretive Center, the Emmett Till Historic Intrepid Center in Glendora, and there is a smartphone app that will lead to fifty-one other sites of interest concerning Till’s death.
The idiot trump’s cowardly Nazis are doing their racist best to wreck the monuments, but rational people across the nation and around the world will continue to repair them. Where as, the vandals who damage or destroy monuments to traitors to the United States, they are doing this country and its people a favor, despite the whining by the idiot trump’s Nazi supporters.
