Doubt all you want, she deserves the chance. Isn't that what made America great ages ago, the opportunity to try, a shot at something?

What have we become when we ridicule someone willing to enter the ring against such a powerful foe???

[headsonpikes]

Remember Archie Bunker tweaking Lionel Jefferson about his ambition to be an electrical engineer?

“C’mon, Lionel - say it!”

“I’se gwine to be an electrical engineer!”

A 14 y/o boy in Calif just passed the SAT with a perfect 2400 score.

I don’t think she could get a 24-—so forget the zeros.

[ZULU]

And I want to be an astrophysicist and a brain surgeon.

[ridesthemiles]

The worst problem with some black celebrity funding her tuition isn’t that he will lose all his money-—

The worst thing is that she will take up a chair (or 2) in classes where a truly deserving person COULD be sitting & bring something to society.

[Cowgirl of Justice]

I want to be a mermaid.

Or a can can dancer.

Or...or...or... at least be able to fly.

[Revolting cat!]

My empathy apparently "sucks"! How's yours?

[Trod Upon]

Well, they shoved 0bama through....

[ChildOfThe60s]

Hey, how about some ambition? She ought to be available for the SCOTUS with no more than a GED. Certainly would be qualified by Obama standards

[tumblindice]

I used to want to be a lion and tiger trainer, but just about any fearless, handsome mananimal can do that .... so, Yo!
I want to be a dinosauer trainer!
Isn’t there some affirmative government program, or sumpin? If there ain’t one, well, that’s really retarted.

[Errant]

Thank you! I believe this will be a life changing for Ms. Jeantel as well. Let us hope and encourage a change for the better. Jesus warned we would be judged by how we treat the least among us.

[dfwgator]

Or...or...or... at least be able to fly.

"I go flyin' so high.....when I'm stoned."

[tumblindice]

Someone left the cake out in the, uh rain and we’ll never have that recipe and some other stuff oh yeah “Whoa whoa, feelings” sniff
I only have sympathy for FRiends. The Trayvons and they hos can all f___ __f

[SueRae]

Hahahaha... that’s a new one..to me.

These days I feel like that a lot. There’s something in the news each day that makes my head hurt.

[Nepeta]

Just award her degrees and admit her to the bar now, beecause we know she won't have to work for any degrees and someone will put the fix in for the bar exam. Just do it, and save time. Who needs a high school degree?

I honestly believe she got valuable lessons in how to manipulate during her preparation for the Zimmerman trial, and she is well prepared now to do the same herself.

[GeronL]

lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Revolting cat!]

Some lack discernment. But FEELINS? And Jesus? Oh yeah! Let us hope they aren’t the ones handling admissions to post-graduate schools.

[DAC21]

A little Saudi money can get you anywhere. Just ask the POS in the White House.

[hoosiermama]

In reference to Affirmative Action:
When discussing Michelle Obama. A Action can get you in school. It can help you pass tests and write papers BUT it cannot help you pass the bar exam
How many people like MO do not have an active law license simply because they have repeatedly failed to pass the bar or other licensing exams. We don’t know why MO doesn’t have an active license but if you check the time between her graduation and the time the repeated test would be offered

[DungeonMaster]

If she goes to college, it could tip over and capsize.
