Emmet did hit on her - just not in the crude and offensive way he was 
wrongfully accused of doing.

But murders are not lynchings. You are apt to be murdered today 
regardless of race for hitting on another man's woman even if you do not 
do so in a crude and offensive way.  Emmett Till was killed furtively 
and secretively, not lynched. Happens today all the time, regardless of 
race.

For it to be a lynching, has to be done openly with social approval. 
The accusation is that it was socially acceptable for white people to 
openly kill blacks for frivolous cause.

Name a black man who was wrongfully lynched - killed openly and publicly 
for with social approval for frivolous cause.

Liar.

"The birth of a nation" depicts black men who actually did rape women 
being rightfully and justly hung for their crimes.

In every actual real life lynching, where the offender was executed 
publicly and openly with social approval, there was reasonable evidence 
of serious criminal offenses.

And if there was a single case where the evidence was thin or the 
offense trivial, you would be using that case, not Emmett Till.
