The exact details are not known, but Till apparently referred to a female white store clerk as 'Baby.' Several days later, the woman's husband and brother took Till from his uncle's home, beat him to death... The men were caught, tried, and found innocent by an all-white jury. The case became a cause celebre during the civil rights movement, showing the nation that brutal violence undergirded Jim Crow laws and etiquette." #OrgUSMIJimCrowMuseumOfRacistMemorabilia [Wikipedia] https://jimcrowmuseum.ferris.edu/brute/ #OtheringDiscriminationRacism

@AsaKuznetsova [name pseudonymized]: The name Emmett Till should never be forgotten. Woke white women did horrific things to a 14 year old black boy when slavery was legal. They only pretend to care about blacks these days because it is fashionable to do so. #woke #virtuesignalling [URL redacted]

"Woke in its initial inception meant political consciousness for Black people about the histories of anti-Blackness in this [USA] country and globally rather than this kind of more generalised political consciousness that it came to take up. One thing that I think is a very common misunderstanding about woke is the idea that it was derived from this phrase 'stay woke'. Woke itself is a standalone word. It's a word that conforms to the syntactic and phonological, which is to say that the sound system and grammatical principles, of African American English which has its origins in the South. 'Awake' is synonymous with 'woke' right, so one might say, 'I was woke about, let's say 7am'. The idea of 'wakefulness' as a concept referring to political consciousness stretches as far back as 1923, and then we see it going all the way up through the 1980s. Marcus Garvey in 'The Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey' in the frame of what we might think of as black nationalist tradition where he says, 'wake up Ethiopia, wake up Africa, let us work towards the one end of a glorious and redeemed and mighty nation', he's talking about political consciousness in the same way as Laurence Fishburne's character at the end of 'School Daze' in the 1980s film. In 1962, a New York Times article by a guy named [William] Melvin Kelley 'If You're Woke You Dig It' writing about cultural appropriation and linguistic appropriation of Black language and culture by white people, specifically. As early as the 1990s or the late 1980s, you see it more attached to the idea of 'political correctness'. This is the point of which white people I would suggest, begin using it reflexively. And so it doesn't now just have the meaning of thinking about anti-Blackness from the perspective of someone who experiences it. More now it refers to this more general sense of awareness, as a marker of general political consciousness attention to such issues as those environmental, feminists, regarding ability and so on. Childish Gambino's song 'Redbone', canonised the phrase 'stay woke' for a popular audience. While Childish Gambino might understand that 'wokeness', at least in its original inception, has a lot to do with our awareness of anti-Black oppression. Listeners to the song from a variety of demographics all over the world aren't abreast of that history and now are using it, the phrase, in a way that destroys its meaning. But it has also been taken up more recently by conservatives. And it became used in a negative or pejorative fashion, right or at least one that is mocking or sarcastic. In fact, it's a well-known and popular tactic of conservatives to pick up and shift the meanings of individual terms, to then weaponize them. Mark Milley and Matt Gaetz arguing about what's woke and what isn't, whether it's good or whether it's bad, where that has nothing to do with the case of the Scottsboro Boys or Emmett Till or Trayvon Martin or Sandra Bland or Rodney King or Ahmaud Arbery or Breonna Taylor or George Floyd. I'm not suggesting that it's necessarily a conscious process, but it's the result of the kind of consumption of Black culture, which has always had a lot of capital purchase in the United States and pop culture globally."

And #WebsiteVoxAjaRomano: "Before 2014, the call to 'stay woke' was, for many people, unheard of. The idea behind it was common within Black communities at that point -- the notion that staying 'woke' and alert to the deceptions of other people was a basic survival tactic. But in 2014, following the police killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, 'stay woke' suddenly became the cautionary watchword of Black Lives Matter activists on the streets, used in a chilling and specific context : keeping watch for police brutality and unjust police tactics."

"THE LARGEST MASS SHOOTING IN US HISTORY DID NOT HAPPEN IN LAS VEGAS.
It happened December 29, 1890 when 297 Sioux Indians were slaughtered at Wounded Knee Creek on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. They were murdered by federal agents and members of the 7th Cavalry who had come to confiscate their firearms 'for their own safety and protection'. The slaughter began after the majority of the Sioux had peacefully turned in their firearms. The Calvary began shotting [sic], and managed to wipe out the entire camp. 200 of the 297 victims were women and children.
Wounded Knee was among the first federally-backed gun confiscation attempts in the United States." #IdentityFirstNationsSiouxAKAOcetiSakowin [Wikipedia] #ToponymAmericaNorthUSSouthDakota [Wikipedia]

Supplementary: #NMUSAssociatedPressKonstantinToropin "Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has announced that he has decided that the 20 soldiers who received the Medal of Honor for their actions in 1890 at Wounded Knee will keep their awards in a video posted to social media Thursday evening.
Hegseth's predecessor, Lloyd Austin, ordered the review of the awards in 2024 after a Congressional recommendation in the 2022 defense bill -- itself a reflection of efforts by some lawmakers to rescind the awards for those who participated in the bloody massacre on South Dakota's Pine Ridge Indian Reservation near Wounded Knee Creek."

Addendum: the argument makes the assumption that (being in the possession of) guns must provide safety and security i.e. that guns act as #TheoryDeterrents. Its argument uses the #1890_TheWoundedKneeMassacre as a example where the confiscation of firearms by 'federal agents' i.e. #OrgUSFedGov is blamed for Sioux Indians being massacred - rather than the more obvious explanation - that the 7th Cavalry simply shouldn't have used their guns without having clear justification. The argument seeks to leverage #TheoryEmotionalBias through a #PhenomnCautionaryTale intended to justify #LegislationUS1791ConstAmdt2RightToBearArms.
