Waiting on someone to claim they are Emmet Till the next time they get asked to get out of the "10 Items or Less" line at the grocery store with a full fricking buggy.

(CNN)Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax compared the calls for him to resign following sexual assault allegations against him in 2019 to the high-profile killings of two Black men, using the comment to attack former Gov. Terry McAuliffe on Tuesday during the first debate in the Democratic gubernatorial primary.

"We can't just talk theoretically about what generally happens, but we have a real-world example where I was falsely accused in 2019," said Fairfax, who is Black. "Everyone here on the stage called for my immediate resignation, including Terry McAuliffe. ... He treated me like George Floyd. He treated me like Emmett Till -- no due process, immediately assumed my guilt."

I thought this was going to be about some kind of new Super Friends comics where civil rights superheroes fight injustice!

Rosa Parks, Jesse Jackson, Che Guervera, that obnoxious Jewish guy from the SPLC, and some Indian who has an eagle he talks to

It would be awesome.
