I just want you to know: I am so proud of you. In you I see a fierce resistance that reminds me of ancestors past. Each time you open your mouth, look down, clench your cheeks in a fresh wave of pain, I see Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, and Fannie Lou Hamer joining their spirits and bonding their strength to yours. I see a survivor, a woman who has miraculously kept her mind and nurtured her sanity enough that she can sit, for hours, and recount such horror. You have a brilliance that flares out, only to be quickly veiled by a glance down or a quiet stare. Past your soul-wrenching pain and your child-like bravado, I see hope and possibility, a small green tendril creeping out of a concrete playground. I see YOU.
I hold you in me—and there are many, many others, with our arms, minds, and hearts holding you right alongside me. I hope you feel it. I hope you know it.

This article is by a Rutgers University prof. of “media studies” — this is the kind of nonsense purveyed at taxpayer expense by these sorts of academics.
The Onion, right?
Where’s the barf alert??
Please tell me that letter was made up.
If not, please tell me when we’re going to ship the writer of that drivel to the sun.
With no return address on the carton.
Such stupidity requires scientific notation to adequately express the magnitude of cretin-ness.
That ain’t racial...that’s the truuuuuuuth.
That MF needs glasses. Because that ain’t what I see at all.
Huh.
I see an inarticulate self-important deceptive sack of crap.
Eye of the beholder I guess.
Is the job of Secretary of Education taken yet?
He alone "healed the races" and that's what we've long needed. (off sarc)
Read the comments under the article. SMH
I am forever a whiner and a victim.
Writer doesn’t like Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth and whoever else she names? Cause this young’un doesn’t have anything to recommend her.
Proud of the dumbest woman on earth.
It deserves some sort of noteworthy praise....like a....like a.....like a Fullashitzer Prize.
She lies like a rug.’
That’s something to be proud of????????????????????
The writer’s bio explains a lot:
http://www.khadijahwhite.com/bio.html
She was an intern for the Obomba Administration Ministry of Truth.
“I see Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, and Fannie Lou Hamer”
Yeah. Rachel ate them all!
Harriett Tubman would be rolling over in her grave if she saw the example of racism that Jeantel displayed on the witness stand (and in her everyday life).
I don’t think Harriett Tubman risked her life so that Jeantel would someday be able to exhibit the kind of character she displayed in that courtroom.
