'If TM was white what would have happened?' Rachel Jeantel says jury cleared GZ 'because of race'

Trayvon Martin’s friend Rachel Jeantel, revealed last night that she ‘had a feeling’ that the largely white-female jury would find George Zimmerman not guilty because of their race.

'If Trayvon was white and he had a hoodie on, would that have happened?' said Miss Jeantel, who was the last person to speak to the teen.

Meanwhile protests continued throughout the U.S. as thousands of people gathered in Atlanta, Georgia, and Birmingham, Alabama, as well as smaller crowds in New York City and Washington D.C.

The slain teenager’s friend, who was one of the prosecution’s star witnesses said after the verdict she felt ‘disappointed, angry, upset, question, and mad’.

During the trial, defence lawyer Don West repeatedly asked Miss Jeantel to speak up and the jury said that they could not hear her, so she used an interview on CNN's Piers Morgan Tonight to explain that an untreated overbite has caused her speech issues for much of her life.

‘I had to have surgery to push it back and right now I don’t want to do it because it would take a year to heal,’ she said. ‘Words I can say - it can’t come out right.’

She took shots at Mr West, saying ‘he's lucky I'm a Christian’ - as that is the only thing that has prevented her from ‘cussing’ him out.

Just why in the Hank Hill can’t a 19 year old read cursive?

If you hadn't egged Martin on by telling him Zimmerman must
be a queer rapist what would have happened, Rachel?

People who can read?

If TM were white, it would never have gone to court.

Well it looks like I’m old school. I can read and write cursive. I also know my grammar. As in “They are old, that’s old school people. We are in the new school, our generation, my generation”.

It would appear her generations needs a dunce cap.

Doesn't surprise me nor does it trouble me. This person is not a dangerous lunatic, prone to violence; at least not personally.
This poor soul has no grasp of what is a rational discussion, never mind an honest and calm non-confrontational debate. What was one of the remarks she made when asked a question by a defense attorney?

Wasn't it "That's retarded!"?

Rachel Jeantel is one of the most ignorant people in America. We should give her a prize.

After seeing a chart of the times when Martin was on the phone with her, I started thinking. SHE instigated this. She said something to Martin that made him mad and willing to go pick a fight with Zimmerman.

Now that we’ve heard her talk about Zimmerman perhaps being a gay rapist, I think SHE put that idea in Martin’s head.

I have read that she testified that Martin went home. He was supposed to be babysitting. If this is true, why did he leave in the 1st place and why did he not stay at home after returning.

Long story short: she is the inspiration for all that took place later.

Because she is a weak reader and writer in the first place.

If Trayvon were white with a hoodie on and doing everything Trayvon did, my guess is he would have been one of them, how you say Wigger.
