The Quote of the Day

From “Wolf Whistle”, a novelization about Emmett Till (with the names changed to protect the fucking evil bastards):“Didn’t it really just sort of chap your ass to no end when somebody tried to murder you, even your own son? … Ought not nobody pour gas on a drunk man and strike a match and then fail to get some signal that it was an inappropriate thing to be doing to your daddy, is all Solon meant, that’s all he had to say.”

One Response to “The Quote of the Day”


Quick summary of Emmett Till, for those (like me, moments ago) who are not familiar with the story, can be found right “here”:http://www.watson.org/~lisa/blackhistory/early-civilrights/emmett.html
