Re: Flames. On the side of my face.
I'm in the camp that believes Till did not wolf whistle. It was common practice for white racist men to claim they were defending the honor of white women when they lynched black men, and they made up shit after the fact in order to excuse their "macho" MURDERING OF PEOPLE. The supposed need to "protect" white women from the dire threat of black maleness is how lynching parties justified themselves. (And make sure that white male ownership of the sexuality of all women was not challenged.) Racism and sexism therefore went merrily along together, as they usually do.
And totalreadr is a whitesplaining, mansplaining, douchenozzle of a twonk.
