Anne Frank was not a teenager who insouciantly, innocently flirted with a social mechanism of death in an oppressive regime. She was a teenager who had to go into hiding with her family to avoid being detected by an oppressive regime that had decided to hunt down and exterminate everyone like her, quickly and permanently.
The article incorrectly states that Mr. Till made no advance toward Mrs. Bryant at all, and that's not true; it's revisionist history, as one previous discussion after another attests, although those discussions are in the process of being crowded out by articles saying that she lied about everything.

You're really going to go after that old lady, who had no choice, who was trapped in the same gears of the same social dynamics? Because what she had no choice about participating in was so evil, I'm stopping short of calling that idea despicable.
She is a case study in the tragedy it can be to be born beautiful. Nobody can say that there's no fetishizing of white and light-skinned women in black life. It is a nauseating effect of white supremacy, but it is real, and it's being ignored in the interests of pursuing and even codifying America's current bloodlust toward women.
