Due to inflation things that used to take a minute to do now take 70 seconds.
Carolyn Bryant, the woman who got Emmet Till lynched, has died.
Anyone who thinks Emmett Till being lynched in 1955 is ancient history should remember that 18 current members of Congress are older than him and the white woman Carolyn Bryant who got him lynched just *today* diedโand that without any accountability whatsoever.
In short, this systemic racism and racial terror against Black people is not ancient history. It's not even history.
It's contemporary reality.
