Lil Wayne isn't known for being censored, but his line in Future's new track "Karate Chop" has angered people who feel he disrespected Civil Rights icon Emmett Till. Till, 14, was brutally beaten to death in 1955 for allegedly whistling at a white woman in Mississippi.
In 'Karate Chop', Wayne raps "I pop a lot of pain pills/beat that p*ssy up like Emmett Till".
The Mayme Till Mobley Memorial Foundation is petitioning for Clear Channel to remove the song, claiming it "disrespects the family of Emmett Till, our ancestors, women and our race!"
Do you agree?

Each one teach one. Lil Wayne will step to the plate and do the right thing. With So many topics to rap about, this serves as a teachable moment to those in this industry.

This 14 yr. old African American Male was lynched for whistling at a white woman & they fucking the white woman & choosing them over the African American Woman. So what do you expect from this ignorant African American Male. They don't stay with their own culture. So what's next? He did this to say what??
