Rachel Jeantel Explains The Difference Between ‘N*gga’ And ‘N*gger’ To Piers Morgan
Media-ite ^ | 16 July 2013 | Matt Wilstein

Posted on 07/16/2013 5:19:04 AM PDT by Rummyfan

In the third part of Piers Morgan‘s extensive, exclusive interview with Trayvon Martin‘s friend Rachel Jeantel about her testimony in the George Zimmerman trial, the host asked his guest if there was anything she wished she’d said on the stand. Jeantel answered with one word: “Nigga.”

Jeantel explained to Morgan that “the whole world say it’s a racist word” but the version of the word that she testified Martin had used in reference to Zimmerman, spelled “n-i-g-g-a” doesn’t mean what most people think it means. It doesn’t mean a “black male” as Morgan assumed, she said, but rather any kind of man, including “Chinese” for example. Morgan helpfully pointed out that that’s the version rappers use in their music.

And the national government system that we live under now, as opposed to the founding federal system,

forces us all to be under the tyrannical rules meant to govern THIS kind of person rather than responsible, educated, self-reliant individuals.

Well, hey. This is good news, then, eh? We can use the word with impunity then without fear of being called racist or creepy-ass cracka.

I think this may be an improvement...

So.....a white person can call a black person “N*gga” and that’s not racist, but “N*gger” is racist? I must get her Batman Epithet Decoder Ring. Time to replay Blazing Saddles and re-educate myself on how stupid bigotry really is, and replay her testimony and weep for public edgamication.

From George Washington and James Madison to Al Sharpton and Rachel Jeantel. God help us all.

Sounds like Piers got a year’s worth of stories for he and his liberal cocktail party friends to laugh over.

Rachel Jeantel may well have been the wisest person involved in that interview.

Can white people use that word without getting into a world of hurt? I thought not.

Oh boy, I am at a loss of words on this division and perpetuation of hate...the left with it’s racial division soldiers...they are keeping the US from being great again...

I am afraid that there is a certain class of race-problem solvers who don’t want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public.

Interview with Rachel Jeantel

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1307/15/acd.01.html

Exclusive Interview With Juror B-37; Defense Team Reacts to Juror Interview

COOPER: I want to ask you a bunch of the — I want to ask you about some of the different witnesses. Rachel Jeantel, the woman who was on the phone with Trayvon Martin at the start of the incident.

What did you make of her testimony?

JUROR: I didn’t think it was very credible, but I felt very sorry for her. She didn’t ask to be in this place. She didn’t ask — she wanted to go. She wanted to leave. She didn’t want to be any part of this jury. I think she felt inadequate toward everyone because of her education and her communication skills. I just felt sadness for her.

COOPER: You felt like, what, she was in over her head?

JUROR: Well, not over her head, she just didn’t want to be there, and she was embarrassed by being there, because of her education and her communication skills, that she just wasn’t a good witness. COOPER: Did you find it hard at times to understand what she was saying?

JUROR: A lot of the times because a lot of the time she was using phrases I have never heard before, and what they meant.

COOPER: When she used the phrase, “creepy ass cracker,” what did you think of that?

JUROR: I thought it was probably the truth. I think Trayvon probably said that.

COOPER: And did you see that as a negative statement or a racial statement as the defense suggested?

JUROR: I don’t think it’s really racial. I think it’s just everyday life, the type of life that they live, and how they’re living, in the environment that they’re living in.

COOPER: So you didn’t find her credible as a witness?

JUROR: No.

COOPER: So did you find her testimony important in terms of what she actually said?

JUROR: Well, I think the most important thing is the time that she was on the phone with Trayvon. So you basically, hopefully if she heard anything, she would say she did, but the time coincides with George’s statements and testimony of time limits and what had happened during that time.

COOPER: Explain that?

JUROR: Well, because there was a — George was on the 9-1-1 call while she was on the call with Trayvon, and the times coincide, and I think there was two minutes between when George hung up from his 9-1-1 call, to the time Trayvon and Rachel had hung up.

So really nothing could have happened because the 9-1-1 call would have heard the nonemergency call that George had called, heard something happening before that.

COOPER: She said at one point that she heard the sound of wet grass.

Did that seem believable to you?

JUROR: Well, everything was wet at that point. It was pouring down rain.

Quite possibly, this was the sound of her "brain gears" turning.

she perfectly illustrated the culture which elected the potus and has presided over bringing this case to the national front while ignoring hundreds of others, not to mention the actual scandals the admin has presided over.

And sometimes it’s fun to send someone off on an errand to get a TR-doubleE.
