Ron Dicker is a general assignment reporter at HuffPost. He has covered sports, entertainment and many other beats in his journalism career, and has lived in New York City for more than 20 years.
Till was a Black teen who was kidnapped, beaten and shot in 1955 by white men after he allegedly flirted with a white store owner in Mississippi. ButOn his show Monday, Kelly criticized jurors for laying low following Trump’s conviction on charges that he concealed payments to silence a porn star with whom he had an alleged affair. The host then dismissed the notion that the former president had been found guilty by a “jury of his peers.
“I’ve heard this excuse before,” Kelly said. “Emmett Till, young man, beaten to death all the way back in the 1950s. What did he do? He said hello to a white woman, something like that. And an all-white mob beat him to death and three people, I believe, were arrested. And the jury said, ‘We don’t see no problem here,’ and let him go, right? A jury of the accusers’ peers found nothing to see here. So jury, I’m told, gets it wrong sometimes.
Kelly tends to make jaw-dropping comments. In another report recently, the right-wing anchor compared reactions to Trump deriding his perceived opponents as “human scum”“What about when Obama said the N-word? ... For some people that would be unforgivable, but Obama is just cool, right?” Kelly griped.in 2015 to illustrate that racism was still prevalent, even though the slur is now generally considered to be unacceptable.
