Emmet did hit on her - just not in the crude and offensive way he was
wrongfully accused of doing.
But murders are not lynchings. You are apt to be murdered today
regardless of race for hitting on another man's woman even if you do not
do so in a crude and offensive way. Emmett Till was killed furtively
and secretively, not lynched. Happens today all the time, regardless of
race.
For it to be a lynching, has to be done openly with social approval.
The accusation is that it was socially acceptable for white people to
openly kill blacks for frivolous cause.
Name a black man who was wrongfully lynched - killed openly and publicly
for with social approval for frivolous cause.

Liar.
"The birth of a nation" depicts black men who actually did rape women
being rightfully and justly hung for their crimes.
In every actual real life lynching, where the offender was executed
publicly and openly with social approval, there was reasonable evidence
of serious criminal offenses.
And if there was a single case where the evidence was thin or the
offense trivial, you would be using that case, not Emmett Till.
