But, to think the Till family wasn’t bright enough to detect a lack of an I’m sorry within an I’m sorry letter is pretty sad. The Till family is probably further insulted by the lack of true responsibility being shown for the disrespect to their legacy and the terrible thing that caused them to have that legacy in the first place.
Airickca Gordon-Taylor, Executive Director, Mamie Till Mobley Memorial Foundation and Till Family Representative, told TMZ;
“While it’s commendable that he has vowed to respect the legacy of Emmett Till and his memory to ‘not use or reference Emmett Till or the Till family in his music,’ this statement falls short of an apology, as none is mentioned.”
Hilarious! We’re pretty sure that won’t save any endorsements the Till family is trying to squash for the skateboarding rapper, but it will be interesting to see what happens. Until then, guess we all just have to stay tuned!
