Your lack of historical knowledge is not nuance.

So you consider her just as guilty as the two men who committed the murder?Your ignorance (either willful or not) is not nuance.
that statement is more racist, than the racism you try to imply with...

Amazing you can kill a black person just because, amazing how time has changed
Absolutely.So you consider just as guilty as the two men who committed the murder?

I never said she didn't do a bad thing, I said she might not have the foresight to know what would happen as a result of her bad thing - which I don't think is very controversial and we have no way of asking her. All we have is second hand information from interviews.
She is dead.
So you consider just as guilty as the two men who committed the murder?
That I don't. Because I don't know if she knew what would happen.What is your fucking point? Seriously dude.

"Too much scrutiny, better duck out before I trip up."That I don't. Because I don't know if she knew what would happen.
That's literally the only opinion I have expressed in this thread and I'm being treated like it's a ridiculous monstrous opinion. It's not because she's white, I would give anyone the same legal consideration.
I understand this is an emotional place, rightfully so. So I'm leaving the thread. This isn't about not caring about anyone, it's just about the culpability of a murderer compared to a liar.

Good for her to come forward and feel regret after living comfortably for 6 decades.

A grown ass white woman in the South during 1950s not knowing what would happen to a black male/kid for flirting with or making moves or even looking at a white woman for too long.
Yeah, okay.

Wow in every single one of these type of threads there is always at least one poster trying to make up hypotheticals to play devils advocate
Not even something as obviously evil as the emmet till case is spared from these people lol

Yeah, okay.
It is his shtick
Welcome back! We know, you're just asking for a little nuance in regards to the responsibility she has for the murder, correct?Again. I have no sympathy for this woman. Her story led to one of the most unimaginable awful murders in US history, I am not defending her.

I hope she burns in hell tbh.
The lynchers, judge and jury can join her too.
Thank you for the actual conversation instead of calling me a "fucking loser" or turning my posts into memes. I do agree with whoever said she had decades to apologize or come clean and didn't.Dave: Asking for nuance is defense.
Your line of reasoning lessened her culpability. It's a roundabout way to clear the woman.

Tyson's book, to be published next week, was preceded by the definitive study of the case, Devery S. Anderson's masterful Emmett Till: The Murder That Shocked the World and Propelled the Civil Rights Movement, which was published in 2015 by the University Press of Mississippi. (Last week, John Edgar Wideman's meditation on Till, Writing to Save a Life, was named a finalist for a National Book Critics Circle Award.) Still, no author save Tyson has ever interviewed Carolyn Bryant Donham. (Her ex-husband and brother-in-law are both dead.) ”That case went a long way toward ruining her life," Tyson contends, explaining that she could never escape its notoriety. His compelling book is suffused with information that Donham, over coffee and pound cake, shared with him in what he calls a ”confessional" spirit.
Carolyn, in fact, had approached Tyson because she was writing her memoirs. (Her manuscript is in the Southern Historical Collection at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill library archives and will not be available for public view until 2036, according to Tyson.) Her daughter had admired Tyson's earlier book, Blood Does Sign My Name, about another racism-inspired murder committed by someone known to Tyson's family. And Tyson himself, a Southern preacher's son, says that when he sat down with Carolyn, she ”could have fit in at a Tyson family reunion"—even at its local church. Clearly, he observed, she had been altered by the social and legal advances that had overtaken the South in the intervening half century. ”She was glad things had changed [and she] thought the old system of white supremacy was wrong, though she had more or less taken it as normal at the time." She didn't officially repent; she was not the type to join any racial reconciliation groups or to make an appearance at the new Emmett Till Interpretive Center, which attempts to promote understanding of the past and point a way forward.
The actual murder was so horrific that it's almost impossible to talk about without getting emotional.
