Trayvon Martins 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 Limbaughs insistence that he now his Jeantels permission to say nigga with an a, Jeantel said the conservative radio hosts 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 Jeantels explanation as an excuse to use the non-racist version of the word on his radio show, saying, I think can [say it] now, isnt that the point? Because its not racist.
HuffPost Lives 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, whos that? After listening to the clip, she said, When you say it out loud in person in front of people, thats 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 cant judge him.
It felt racist to me too, Hill responded.
Blacks can make up their own language and words, to cover for their lack of English skills. If English was made the official language of the USA, half or more of the black population would be using a “foreign language”.....
Did she hear the edited or unedited version?
Well, her ‘CRACKA’ remark “FEELS” racist to me.
Justice Department?
Bueller?
Bueller?...
Rachel Showantell is now our go-to fount of racial wisdom. I think that MSM is not very subtly describing black intelligence as minimal. ANd the blacks have to go along with it and pretend they are not being described as genetically morons to keep their place aunder the table.
She can’t make out cursive but she appreciates the fine distinctions between niggas and niggers (and, presumably, the niggardly). She might actually have intelligence but the direction in which she’s using it is, well, retarded.
They are no longer around (thankfully) because they are really offensive.
Ms. Jeantel is like a living, breathing 2013 minstrel show, and black people are APPLAUDING her.
You're right, if this were a white person saying stupid crap like this, I would SWEAR it was a put on.
This girl is the poster child for the United Negro College Fund.
I agree . . .
The radical left is telling the lack population what the radical left really thinks of them when they make that woman the Black Spokesman.
MASH was on TV the other night.
Probably COZI. It was censored, language and some blurring.
‘Spearchucker’ was edited out!!!
I am too dense to figure that out I guess.
If a man can demand to be treated as if he’s a woman, I can state that I’m a 16 y.o. black girl. Who is Jeantel to say I’m not?
Yep.
Her book of rules changes daily and she is an ageist...!!!
How stupid of them.
His nickname came from his prowess as a javelin thrower in college.
The *only* reason he disappeared from the show was the writers found out there were no black doctors in Korea.
The censors are racist.
What if a person says nigga in cursive?
What is it? “Identify it, ridicule it, Isolate it?”
She is definitely a candidate for the procedure. I pray to God she keeps talking and being hypocritical - changing what she says from one day to the next - and publicly.
‘Not a credible witness’ only scratches the surface.
Paula should have said in her deposition that she was saying n***a with the a at the end.
It is racist for an adult.
##########
She’s 19. She’s an adult and she says cracka and nigga and nigger. No more kid-glove treatment for racists and double speak standards. You are both ignorant.
It was ridicule pure and simple. Rush ridiculed the liberal race baters and they think THAT is racism.
Liberals is so dumb!!
Let’s see if I got this right: It’s not racist if it ends in an “a” instead of an “er”, unless it’s said by somebody who’s not black (although in her original formulation that really didn’t seem to matter), or unless it’s said by somebody who’s an adult (’that be old school - we be new school’, so I guess it’s really the school that matters), or unless the person who says it “doesn’t make you feel right”.
That really helps a lot, except that Lamont forgot to ask her if it matters what the phase of the moon is when one uses the word.
