Comparing Trayvon Martin to Emmett Till is beyond absurd.

CHICAGO, July 14, 2013 ― Rev. Michael Pfleger is stirring up the racial pot once again on Chicago’s South Side in the wake of George Zimmerman’s acquittal.

Pfleger, the activist pastor of St. Sabina in the troubled Auburn-Gresham district, is now calling for acts of civil disobedience to protest the verdict.

“We can’t tell people be still, rise up, be aggressive, say what you are saying and then something like this (verdict) happens and (say) be quiet, be still, do nothing. We have got to give them a way to express themselves peacefully and nonviolently. Tomorrow, we are going to be announcing at church a way we can have people do a civil disobedience,” Pfleger said.

CBS2’s Suzanne LeMignot asked Pfleger a follow-up question about a story he had apparently told her previously: “You say that a lot of people at the congregation that they have phoned you. One woman in particular, quite a huge revelation from her said  that this (verdict) shows her that her two sons, two black sons, that their lives mean nothing.”

Pfleger replied, “She called up crying and said America sent a message to teenage sons, that their life is worthless. I just talked with Emmett Till’s family a while ago and this is Emmett Till all over again. This is a horrible, horrible day for America.“
