I agree with you that he probably should have kept his mouth shut, but the comment doesn’t meet the reality. Emmett Till was a 14 year old adolescent from Chicago, where attitudes were slightly different than that of redneck Money, Mississippi. Make sure that you impress upon your mind that he was a kid, not an adult who should know better. In addition, perhaps a kid from Mississippi would have known better.

He should have kept his mouth shut… He whistled at the white women which is something a black person wouldn’t dream of doing in the 1950′s south. It was juvenile stupidity and he paid an altimate price for it. Very Sad.

I just got done watching the movie about this case. Honestly I do not know how people could do this to one another.. this tore my heart to shreds.. I honestly cant even think of the feelings I have toward this case, but what I do know is that Emmett did not die in vain. His death sparked more than controversy around the world. I still dont get why bad things happen to go good people, nor will we ever understand. RIP EMMETT.Mamie our hearts go out to you and your family.

He was a kid from Chicago, Teresa. Also, attitudes differed vastly between the big city of Chicago where Emmitt Till was from even though there was also racial tensions there as well, and redneck Money, Mississippi where he was murdered. In addition, he was only a teenager. He was still green. If he were an adult when this lynching occurred, yes…I would agree with you that he should have known better. But Emmitt Till was just a kid.
