Becoming a teenage television star turns out to be surprisingly easy: Testify for the prosecution in the murder trial of an innocent man in a case that liberals want to turn into a carnival of racial hatred.
Rachel Jeantels appearance on Monday nights Piers Morgan Live was a new low in the relentless dumbing down of American culture. Her claim to fame is that she was having a cell-phone conversation with Trayvon Martin shortly before the 17-year-old was shot to death by George Zimmerman. Having been discovered by Florida civil rights attorney Benjamin Crump and offered as Witness 8 for the prosecution, Jeantel was undeniably the star of the Zimmerman trial not in a good way. During the course of her testimony, she introduced the phrase creepy-ass cracker to the national vocabulary and embarrassed herself when she was forced to admit that she could not read a letter she allegedly wrote to Trayvons parents. Asked to read the letter aloud in court two weeks ago, the Miami teen confessed: I dont read cursive.
Exactly what Rachel Jeantel does read is a mystery. She appears to be a typical specimen of the sub-literate youth warehoused within the Miami-Dade County school system. Anyone who has read the text-messages Trayvon exchanged with Jeantel and his other friends must despair for the future of the country. After watching Jeantel on CNN Monday, its even harder to be hopeful. The 19-year-old was asked by Morgan to react to a jurors comments about the incoherence of her testimony.
Well, the jury, they see their fact, Jeantel replied. None offense to the jury, they old. Thats old school people. We in the new school, our generation, my generation.

I certainly wasnt saying that shes like me, although I could have been ‘sarc’ as they say.

You want to try that again? None of us is purrfect.
Best. Post. Ever.
She said she is educated...that she has a 3.0 average.
Yet, she can’t read a note, that she supposedly wrote, that was written in cursive?
If this is indicative of our young people, nationally, then our culture is doomed.
she was lying under oath when she said she wrote it - where is the DA now?
Bernie? Bernie?
I think that Ms Corey has another agenda.
BTW, are you sure that she wrote something she couldn’t read?
;-)
reminds me that my 4th grade teacher always asked my 3rd grade teacher to grade my assignments
I spend a lot of time as a volunteer at a local high school. Ms. Jeantel is "above average" from what I see normally.
There is usually at least one parole officer walking around at any given time. We've had to have students arrested for assault and battery when they flip out at the staff. At least Ms. Jeantel doesn't appear to have a record so she's ahead of the game from where I sit.
Scared yet?
Thanks!
