The judge should have had both black and white on the jury or they could have at least put people that were not against blacks. The only reason why Emmett Till was charged is that there was an all-white jury who were against African American and they would do anything to put an African American to jail or even in Emmett Till's case kill. I don't understand why two white men could kill Emmett Till so brutally.What made them snap and why were they the only ones who tried to kill Emmett Till? I believe that if there were not millions of people trying to kill Emmett Till what made just two men want or crave to kill Emmett Till.The color of your skin should not determine what you are or who you are there, the two white men should have been judged way more than Emmett Till they killed him not even thinking of him they did it out of demise but the world didn't care until Emmett Till's mother put his body on display.Emmett Till's mother did not put Emmett Till's body on display just for the attention she put it on display to show the world how he was killed and how they beat him.No one should ever be killed for no reason no one should be killed period no human being should determine what consequences someone should get no human should take another humans life
