Yet more excuses from the black community for a black person being confrontational, illiterate, and ‘hood. Black people need to realize that if you make excuses for pathetic behavior, you get more of that bad behavior. Plus, black people need to realize that when other people see black people constantly backing the dregs of society, it appears to the outside world that black people embrace a violent, illiterate subculture.
We need to warn readers about “liberal racism” in the title, in the same manner we do with “barf alert.” This is one evil writer.
Let's see: She's a liar and an idiot. Did I miss something?
Author is...confused.
Emotional? Sure. Anyone involved in a murder trial would be.
Blunt? More frayed.
Multilingual? She can’t read a letter she claims she wrote! Heck yeah having perjury revealed would make anyone emotional and frayed, but cannot be construed as multilingual.
Reading from the article, Creole was the first language she learned...I detected no accent.
Just making one excuse after another for the epic fail of the prosecution's "star witness".
I have one word which sums her up pretty well
I'm reminded of how incredible it seemed that the USA would elect Barack Obama again. Who on earth could vote for him??? But win he did, and I suspect Team Trayvon is going to win as well. That's where we are as a country.
Don't believe it? Read some of the comments that follow the article at the link.
Because they’re as stupid as she is?
Au contraire, Christina, some of us 'crackers' understand her, and you, all too well.
All too well.
Hey Christina, Rachel was taken advantage of by Crump and the Martins to promote a lie in a deposition. She was abused by her own race.
“White priveledged”?
Really?
Are we really “priveledged” because be know lying when we hear it?
Blacks have attended the same schools as whites for over 50 years now...what privilege did whites have over the blacks?
This person is going into th 12th grade, and cannot read cursive, but, she had the same classrooms as white students.
What does this columnist mean by “white privilege” anyway. Does it mean that white people have more money? More opportunity? Better parenting? What?
The witness has perjured herself twice on the stand, but I don’t see anyone charging her with “perjury”...that’s certainly a privilege. Even with some of here attitude and snark, no one has declared her a “hostile witness”...that’s privilege.
She’s presented inarticulate, incoherent and “evolving” testimony, and even inferred that the defense attorney was “retarded”, but no one has admonished her for any of it. That’s privilege.
Columnists and the media trying to pull the “race safety net” around her and spin her testimony doesn’t cancel out what see and hear from her.
There’s no group of people in the past 50 years that have had more opportunity, and “privileges” that blacks have had...none! But they’ve got to keep the facade Alive to keep those goodies coming.
People of sound mind and at least a 5th grade education heard and saw that “star witness” fiasco, and of the Juan Williams in the world can’t change that with spin. You can’t put the toothpaste back into the tube!
” Any attorney, jury member, judge or white person in that courtroom is not going to understand Rachel Jeantel. And I don’t expect them to.”
Dude, Rosetta Stone doesn’t understand her
I agree with the author that the black world and the white world are worlds apart. The world that whites create is far less violent, far less criminal, far more literate, far more entrepreneurial, far more hardworking, and far more respectful of law, structure, and other people.
Not only is she lying about Zimmerman, she is withholding information about Martin telling her how he was going to beat on the white cracker. Other than lying and dishonesty, she is your typical hoodlem gimmedat punk.
But maybe the reason white people don’t understand Rachel Jeantel is because she is dumb as a brick and a petty liar.
It’s all you Cracks’a fault you be hatin’.
Maybe it’s because she lied that we don’t like her.
I don't know squat about her background, but her lack of education is not something anybody has to "assume", it's pretty obvious.
Keep your racist BS ideas to yourself (bleep).
