MSNBC’s expert John McWhorter, a Columbia University linguist, explains that a star witness for the prosecution in the George Zimmerman trial, Rachel Jeantel, was abused by defense attorneys who simply didn’t understand her dialect.

McWhorter explained: “It’s been a little scary. Sometimes it’s like she’s speaking Hungarian, and he’s speaking Cantonese. She’s been articulate, just in a different kind of English than mainstream English, she’s speaking Black English.

For overnight FReep posters: Have at it!!

[Veto!]

Clearly, trials should be be conducted in Ebonics to ensure justice.

Is this from the Onion? If not it should be.

We complained about how they sound like anthropologists when they visit white Americans in Houston and Oklahoma city, and the rest of fly over country, how would you like to be black and reading this.

“Black English” ??? And just what the #*%& is “Black English”?

[peteyd]

Hungarian?
Question:Do you know where Hungary is?
Ms Jeantel:I know what hungry is, when my stomach growls.

[latina4dubya]

that he says she is speaking black English is racial... and i am sure there are many black people who would find his remark offensive...

I don’t know - she never really articulated the sound of wet grass very well. She was better with describing “crazy a%% crackah” though.

[Private_Sector_Does_It_Better]

What is “MSNBC”?

[svcw]

There is NO articulate “black English”, as it is found only in fantasy world.

If I got that kind of output from my computer I’d conclude its CPU was fried.

[VRWC For Truth]

No, that would be Crumpy and the Martins doing the abuse. Her testimony is lie, the letter is a lie, and her signature is a lie. Witness tampering 101.

[Secret Agent Man]

nothing like a condescending liberal explaining an illiterate uneducated person. just try to rationalize and balkanize the country more.

[Trod Upon]

I vote for Jive.

[TheLawyerFormerlyKnownAsAl]

Columbia, enough said.

[null and void]

MSNBC? Aren’t they the same ones who gushed over moooooschelle’s toned arms and slender butt?

I've been noticing the Left going even more outrageously bonkers lately.
For starters they are trying to fit everything they see into their predetermined
tunnel vision of what they want everyone else to see. But that's not we are seeing
and it's driving them over the edge. I can hardly wait for them to cry on national TV
when Obama leaves office and Palin/Cruz walk in as the Adults.
