A Letter to Rachel Jeantel
Roleboot.org ^ | June 27, 2013 | Khadijah Costley White

Posted on 06/28/2013 9:47:27 AM PDT by Enchante

I just want you to know: I am so proud of you. In you I see a fierce resistance that reminds me of ancestors past. Each time you open your mouth, look down, clench your cheeks in a fresh wave of pain, I see Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, and Fannie Lou Hamer joining their spirits and bonding their strength to yours. I see a survivor, a woman who has miraculously kept her mind and nurtured her sanity enough that she can sit, for hours, and recount such horror. You have a brilliance that flares out, only to be quickly veiled by a glance down or a quiet stare. Past your soul-wrenching pain and your child-like bravado, I see hope and possibility, a small green tendril creeping out of a concrete playground. I see YOU.

I hold you in me—and there are many, many others, with our arms, minds, and hearts holding you right alongside me. I hope you feel it. I hope you know it.

This is what we're dealing with here, the nutty racial obsessions of people who can't let mundane matters like facts and reality interfere with politically correct fantasies!

This article is by a Rutgers University prof. of “media studies” — this is the kind of nonsense purveyed at taxpayer expense by these sorts of academics.

Please tell me that letter was made up.

If not, please tell me when we’re going to ship the writer of that drivel to the sun.

With no return address on the carton.

Such stupidity requires scientific notation to adequately express the magnitude of cretin-ness.

That ain’t racial...that’s the truuuuuuuth.

You have a brilliance that flares out

Yes, in great moments such as, "That's retarded, sir."

Brilliant.

I see Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, and Fannie Lou Hamer

Huh.

I see an inarticulate self-important deceptive sack of crap.

Eye of the beholder I guess.

Gosh, I'm glad we finally elected America's first Black President.

He alone "healed the races" and that's what we've long needed. (off sarc)

Writer doesn’t like Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth and whoever else she names? Cause this young’un doesn’t have anything to recommend her.

Harriett Tubman would be rolling over in her grave if she saw the example of racism that Jeantel displayed on the witness stand (and in her everyday life).

I don’t think Harriett Tubman risked her life so that Jeantel would someday be able to exhibit the kind of character she displayed in that courtroom.
