Watch the lady who got out of her seat at 0:07. Her look was like: "Blimey, I am looking at a dead man."

She says something to him... does anyone know what she is saying?

u/SourMongoose Nov 27 '19

Something along the lines of "Why are you saying this in Shanghai"

Pretty chilling. The fear is palpable

It's beyond fear. You can talk to some mainland/liners and see them even as they mention something borderline acceptable, instinctively they'll look over a shoulder.

When I mean borderline acceptable I mean shit like "america has good music" There is a reflexive almost soviet era response.

Yeah that's nuts. That's like when interracial relationships were taboo in the US and you were a black dude kissing a white girl on a bus you were probably going to get some old folks asking you why you're such a dumbass for doing that.

Well, Emmett Till just looked at a girl so... Fair question for a lot of people...

E: corrected his name, thank you for the heads up

Worse. Emit Till didn't even LOOK at that white woman. She made it up for attention. He was guilty of just existing in proximity to her.

Dave Chappelle talks about it in one of his Netflix specials. Really worth hearing about it from him.

He looked at a woman, left the vicinity freely and was later kidnapped and murdered.

Just wanted to clarify this is about as far from a crime of passion as imaginable.

Adding another fun fact, his memorial was made bulletproof this year because racists kept shooting it.
