"Tills cousin, Wright, was there when it happened. He said his cousin was just trying to make his friends laugh. Whistling at a white woman, you didnt do that. He didnt know, said Wright. Wright was there a couple days later when they came for his cousin. I heard the yelling. They tuned on the light and there were two white men at the foot of my bed, he said. They took Till away, beat him, tortured him, and then they killed him."
I want the world to see what they did to my baby, Wright said, quoting Tills mother said. She had a glass top casket and the world got to see what racism looks like. The world did see. Tills battered corpse was shown in magazines, the network news showed it, and Bob Dylan wrote a song about it. Rosa Parks said she was thinking of what they did to Till when she refused to give up her seat. It changed attitudes everywhere, said Wright. For years, Wright didnt talk about what happened."
The whistling part is true according to his cousin,but he wuz a kid from Chicago who didn't know the ways of Missisipi who wuz trying to be funny and paid a price....Lil Wayne a 30 yr old man is trying to be funny with this line and nobodys dragging him out his bed,shoooting him in the face,beating him like Emit Til and throwing him in a river wrapped in barbwire,how nice of us
.....we just sayin its a fuked up line and if the familys offended he should apoligize and keep it movin,cuz I don't think he meant it in a evil way.
when I heard it...but its shyt rappers say and that we say on here,that we wouldn't say if we thought the rapper or they familys and kids might be lookin at the-coli,cuz its overboard sumtimes and most of us ain't straight azzholes like that...but u never know who watchin or listenin
Oh shyt.
