No, because the lynching of Emmet Till was in fact motivated by white supremacy. But not all lynchings are racially motivated, which is irrelevant anyway, as there wasn't any lynching going on in this story.

Instead of trying (and failing) to make these political points, why don't you stick to refusing to affiliate with shanes and telling all kinds of other inconsistent stories about your fraternity membership. At least that's entertaining.
