Rachel Jeantel Gets the Trayvon Martin Treatment

DeeDee should have had an interpreter.

I can see you failed your ebonics class..

I don't leap anywhere. I'm not a monkey. But again, this is America and I am sure you feel all black people are monkeys, it reflects your statement. And to believe some of you are actually bringing other people into America is unbelievable as discriminatory as some of you are.

Good luck

Monkeys come in many sizes and colors and few are black which leads me to conclude that this problem may be attributed to either your previously noted retinal deficiency or the blinders you leaped in with. This is aggravated of course with the chip you appear to be carrying but sadly and pathetically are unaware of.

None of this of course has anything to do with me as your self-esteem is not really my responsibility

If you had called her "the Hispanic lady," I would not have any issue with it, because it would be correct. But "Spanish lady" means someone from Spain.

I'm not trying to nit-pick with you - nor am I trying to "deflect" any attention from your point. Perhaps I am much more aware of this issue because I live in a city with a predominantly Hispanic population (mostly Mexican-American.) It's considered ignorant and even demeaning to refer to them as "Spanish" people, as they are proud of their heritage. And you would get the same reaction if you called them Puerto Ricans or Cubans. I don't think you intended any insult, and so perhaps you would want to know how it might be intepreted.

LOL. I retract "Spanish" / replaced with "Hispanic / Spanish speaking"

It's apparent you know nothing. You purposely were being derrogatory towards me when you used the word leap, thus referring to me as a monkey since blacks were called monkeys for many years and still are. I am glad to see you are DCF. The last thing we need in America are more people who hate blacks.

Are you serious?

This should be entered into the Hall of Fame of Stupid Comments.

I acctually did get some lessons from Max, but that was back in the days before Mandella was freed. I've already forgotten more than I ever knew.

An interesting fact is the mumbling is on purpose, Not an accident. Makes it harder for whitey to understand. and Im not buying the southern dialect stuff. We are definately talking ethnolect.

I dont have to be derogatory towards you. You are far more capable of putting yourself in a negative light than I could possibly imagine to be

Repeated: None of this of course has anything to do with me as your self-esteem is not really my responsibility

God help us if superwoman had a chip that size

Are you serious?

He/she is serious

Good thing my timeline is in cursive LOL

Wow I have been ignoring this thread for days and wondering why it has such legs.. Come in and read the last two pages, what could be said to make it more crazy? Just needs some twilight-zone music.

I did add "leap" to my internet filter - can't be too careful.

That being the black light, right? I just like coming on here commenting to people and aggravating them knowing that no matter what people say or do, people will be clearly racists no matter what. I could really care less about what you think of me or the blak race because you are a person who does not matter and you and all the rest of the little small minded people will never change.

"Good thing my timeline is in cursive LOL[/quote."

I read and speak 3 different languages and one being English and I can read in cursive. Shocking isn't it a black person reading cursive writing.

Good thing my timeline is not in crunched up crackers. : )

ooooh.. if you are going to resort to a "non-sneak" of a racist word into a sentence it has to at least make some sort of sense.

Do we have to say "L" word now or can we say LEAP out loud

"L-word" - better to err on the side of caution.
