To the Politically-Correct, the only behavior that is to be "judged" is anything that might injure the feelings of one of their favored client victim groups.
Here's a test: does someone have the right to say that he believes Negroes are genetically inferior to whites? Yes. Does a Black person who is offended by this have the right to kick the person who made this statement to death? No.
But the person with the racialist theories is still under an obligation to use his common sense. He should stay out of bars that are frequented by Black people, or, if he finds himself in one, he should keep his opinions to himself.
Does a male have the right to solicit a strange male for sex? Yes, provided he uses his common sense: put an ad in the appropriate newspaper; go to a gay bar. Or go to a place where the men are not guaranteed to be violently-inclined homophobes, and send out the usual signals.
Now, I don't
know what that poor kid did. Maybe he was just thirsty and happened to see a bar and went in, and was recognized by one of the low-lifes there. In which case he was just a bit foolish.
But if he did go into a redneck bar looking for rough trade, then he was either suicidally-unwise, or driven by some sort of terrible and unnatural compulsion.
Perhaps he had been encouraged in this foolish behavior by the sort of "non-judgmental" folks who see all human behaviors as equally good, so long as they are challenging tradition or authority.
Anyway, back to Emmett Till. Have you considered that there is another aspect to this case?
I think there may be something to this conservative commentary on the case written some time ago but relevant to the issue of unwanted sexual advances made in public:
And what of the wolf-whistle, Till's "gesture of adolescent bravado"? We are rightly aghast that a whistle could be cause for murder but we must also accept that Emmett Till and JW Millam [one of his white murderers] had something in common. They both understood that the whistle was no small tweet of hubba-hubba or melodious approval for a well-turned ankle. Given the deteriorated situation ... it was a deliberate insult just short of physical assault, a last reminder to Carolyn Bryant that this black boy, Till, had in mind to possess her.
... the insult implied in Emmett Till's whistle, the depersonalized challenge of "I can have you" with or without the racial aspect.
