Trayvon Martin‘s friend and witness for the prosecution in the George Zimmerman trial Rachel Jeantel got an opportunity to respond directly to Rush Limbaugh during an extended interview with Marc Lamont Hill Live Wednesday morning. Despite Limbaugh’s insistence that he now his Jeantel’s permission to say “nigga” with an “a,” Jeantel said the conservative radio host’s comments did “feel racist” to her.
In her first major interview since the Zimmerman trial ended, Jeantel explained to Piers Morgan Monday night the difference between “nigger” with an “-er,” which she said is a “racist” word and “nigga” with an “a,” which she said in her generation means just means any “male.” Tuesday, Limbaugh used Jeantel’s explanation as an excuse to use the “non-racist” version of the word on his radio show, saying, “I think can [say it] now, isn’t that the point? Because it’s not racist.”
HuffPost Live’s Hill played the Limbaugh clip for Jeantel and asked her to respond. When he first asked her if she knew who Limbaugh is, Jeantel replied, “No, who’s that?” After listening to the clip, she said, “When you say it out loud in person in front of people, that’s disrespectful,” she said, adding, “It is racist for an adult.”
Hill attempted to get some clarification from Jeantel, asking, “Does it matter whether the adult is black or white?”
“Yes!” Jeantel replied, with little hesitation.
“When you heard Rush Limbaugh say it just then, did it feel racist to you?” Hill asked.
“Well, yes,” Jeantel said. “But I can’t judge him.”
“It felt racist to me too,” Hill responded.
why do we fall into the media traps? Why are we and Rush even talking about that crap? You can’t win an argument with an idiot (democrats).
Obama ordered his IRS to rig the election for it and democrats/communists in the Congress and Senate.
the media says don’t look at that , but look at these rabbits for you to chase , zimmerman, Trayvon, Snowden, Adam Lanza.
and the media (our slavers) says don’t think of the Amnesty bill think of Kimd Kardishian , sports and holly wood.
Frankly, Rush can do accents pretty well except when it comes to a Southern accent....Hillary Clinton fails that also...Rush isn’t that bad but he should not try to sound like he knows how...baaaad form.
omfg. we’re being way too generous if we ever use the phrase ‘liberal logic’, ever again.
Its pathetic that she’s so damn stupid.
Its pathetic that she’s a product of public schools.
Its pathetic that she is the product of unenforced immigration laws.
Its sickening that at some point, someone will breed with her and the cycle will continue.
Oh yeah, but she has a 3.0 GPA. Probably from the same school as obama.
isn’t ill the racist black communist professor who used to be on FOX?\\\\\\
As for this young racist woman, she really is an idiot and it’s funny to see the extreme radical left try to make her come across as an educated person
I feel sorry for this maroon.
I can’t keep up with the terminology any more. I guess I’ll just say what I want, since I basically don’t GAF what anybody thinks anyway.....
Not even a pretense of jornalistic objectivity.
Its frightening that in the meantime SHE CAN VOTE!
the media will use this until something comes up and no way will they talk about Benghazi, IRS, NSA, the white house corruption, hell they can’t even mention how he takes a 100 million African vacation but he closes our white house because he said we have to do cuts
So now Rachel Jeantel is the judge and jury on racism in America? Why the “F” does anyone care what she has to say about anything, other than which fast food restaurant in Sanford has the best fries?
Oh yeah, but she has a 3.0 GPA. Probably from the same school as obama.

Huge numbers of students with 4.0’s taking remedial math and English courses for their first 2 years of college. The left has destroyed education in this country.
not only she can vote, she probably can vote more than once , however she still cancels my vote out and so does millions like here.
If we were given 5 questions about the election on what the candidates stood for like .
Which candidate supports homosexuals getting married ?
Who supports letting in millions of illegals and giving them welfare?
etc
etc
etc
If you had to get them right before you were allowed to vote then the Dems would never get power outside the north east
The world according to Rachael. I’m so confused...
But it's okay to talk disrespectfully about people behind their backs, I suppose.

Yes and the media will most of all hide that Congress is trying to sneak through an Amnesty bill that will give Amnesty to 30 million illegals and allow each one of those new citizens to bring in 5 family members each from the 3rd world all who will vote for democrats who will turn the USA into a communist state.
The media has many conservatives focused on this Trayvon circus while the congress sticks the knife with the Amnesty. the media says look a rabbit, the media says chase Trayvon, Snowden,Adam Lanza, zimmerman,kim Kardashian, sports, Hollywood etc. and all Americans follow the brainwashing like mind numbed robots.
Heads I win, tails you lose.
The Left has nothing better than that, and apparently needs nothing better than that.
