We can all agree there are certain boundaries that should not be crossed under any cirmcumstances. Examples: making a mockery of someones death or untimely demise, poking fun at tragic events or just being ignorant with regards to the feelings of others.
At the young and adventurous age of 14 Emmett Till never made it home from the grocery store. In fact, his face was bashed in with a wheel barrel until he was unrecognizable. Stone and mortar bricks where then tied to his body and he was thrown into the bottom of a lake. This happened at the hands of male caucasian men who did not take kindly to the allegation that Emmett Till 'whistled' at a Caucasian woman. Emmett Till's mother demanded her sons funeral proceedings be open casket for she wanted the 'world to see' what these Caucasian animals did to her son.
Howbeit 57 years later LIL WAYNE seems to poke fun at the cataclysmic event which catapulted the Civil Rights Movement into full throttle, by saying in his lyrics, 'Beat the pussy up like Emmett Till.'
Question: Does Lil Wayne smoke crack?
Yes, he has had a successful career and has met the expectations of many young hip hop heads with the introduction of YCMB. Of course, his female-like giggles on every track is somewhat annoying and causes a 'normal person,' to question his sexuality. Yes, he is probably one of the highest paid entertainers. Yes he kissed his mentor in the mouth and a generation of 'fake thugs' still remain loyal to him. Yes his pants are tighter than a blood pressure arm band on a fat lady eating a piece of chicken while at the hospital before she goes into cardiac arrest. His success does NOT make him intelligent.
Although Sony/Epic did not release the track it was leaked via the internet and many people are looking at this New Orleans born rapper with questions like, 'Is he stupid for real?' How can you make fun of a child's murder and liken it unto a 'rough sex with a woman?' It's simply disrespectful to both Emmett Till and his family. Needless to say Emmett Till's family is not enthusiastic about this overzealous rappers lyrics and is demanding a public apology.
It is possible Emmett Till's family will never receive the apology they're looking for. . How can one apologize for being stupid if they don't know they're stupid?
