The Genteel Rachel Jeantel

She’s the newest sensation in the same-stream media, Rachel Jeantel. She is Trayvon Martin’s friend and was exploited interviewed by that dashing Brit host Pierce Morgan on CNN.

I’ve edited the report tête-à-tête into what I believe to be the more entertaining informative parts.

Rachel Jeantel on ‘People in Law or Security Enforcement…’

MORGAN: Let’s talk about creepy ass cracker. People have said that that is a phrase used by black people, cracker, to describe a white person. Is that true?

JEANTEL: No. Like I said —

MORGAN: How do you spell it, first of all?

JEANTEL: Cracker. Well —

MORGAN: There’s no E-R, right? It’s —

JEANTEL: No. It’s A at the end.

MORGAN: C-R-A-C-K-A?

JEANTEL: Yes, and that’s a person who act like they are police, who like (unintelligible), who acting like, that’s what I said to them. Trayvon said creepy ass cracka.

MORGAN: It means he thought it was a policeman or a security guy.

JEANTEL: Yes. Who’s acting like a policeman and then he keeps telling me that the man still watch him. So if it was a security guard or a policeman, they would come up to Trayvon and say, do you have — do you need — do you have a problem, do you need help? You know, like normal people.

Rachel Jeantel on the word, ‘Male…”

JEANTEL: People — the whole world say it’s a racist word. Mind you — mind you, around 2000, that was not. They changed it around, I think. It started spelling it n-i-g-g-a. Nigga.

MORGAN: What does that mean to you, that — that way of spelling it? What does that word mean to you?

JEANTEL: That means a male.

MORGAN: A black male?

JEANTEL: No, any kind of male.

MORGAN: Black or white?

JEANTEL: Any kind — Chinese could say Nigga. That’s my Chino Nigga. They could say that.

Rachel Jeantel on ‘Homosexuals and Pedophiles…’

JEANTEL: Yes. Definitely after I say may be a rapist, for every boy, for every man, every — who’s not that kind of way, seeing a grown man following them, would they be creep out? So you have to take it — as a parent, when you tell your child, when you see a grown person following you, run away, and all that.

Would you go stand there? You going to tell your child stand there? If you tell your child stand there, we’re going to see your child on the news for missing person.

And people need to understand, he didn’t want that creepy ass cracker going to his father or girlfriend’s house to go get — mind you, his little brother was there. You know — now, mind you, I told you — I told Trayvon it might have been a rapist.

Parents need to stop acting dumb. If you’re going to tell your child, oh, a stranger, oh, you tell your child one thing — run away, trying to find somebody, that’s not what Trayvon was doing?

So why — so why the jury — they’re all parents — well, some of them are parents. And they’ve been telling their — their child that. Now, you’re going to tell me you’re going to tell your child to stand there? No.

So in the end, the same-stream media’s template that this story is about ‘race,’ has been wrong from the outset.
