If Emmit Till was white and Carolyn Bryant Black, would the case have changed?

If their races had been switched, where he was the white boy, and she was the black lady, would it have changed the case?

That's a good question. I honestly think it would. If he was white he wouldn't have been killed. His death wasn't caused by he was being accused of, it was caused by pure evil and hatred.

Probably to the jury since they base their decision on emotion than facts

[QuietRunner]

oh yes it would have been much different

[Jazzy54]

Most definitely.
