She actually viewed the scuffle..if I'm correct I think she's saying that Zimmerman was the one who was on top of Trayvon..she actually seen him get off of him..great eyewitness for the prosecution so far...
A CNN reporter just said the witness "was precious for the defense"
another reporter just called him out on the movie reference

TILL THIS DAY!
if rachel is the kind of chick that trayvon liked. i wonder if he talked just like her 
them 60 year old white women on the jury might think. maybe he was just like her.

The Root: Rachel Jeantel: Trial Testimony Draws Criticism
The level of internalized racism in this thread, and in general, is extremely troubling. The fact that Black men are so ready to repeat racist tropes, as long as they apply to Black women, while simultaneously claiming to support Trayvon against a racist murder is just insane, but also all too common. Somehow, racism stops being racism as long as it targets Black women and not Black men.

Its a privilege to not know some of you in real life.

some of ya'll crack me up...every phone call i got and even on the radio people are talking about this chick, and others are making a mockery...I realize on the coli if a white says something about this young girl, or many things against blacks its racism, if a black says the same thing they are c00ns or "c00nin" or feel the need because it makes them feel "better" about themselves...
WTF people cant just have there own opinions without someone trying to come up with some reason why they think this way and putting them down..
Its a board and a debatable one, just because someone has a different though it doesnt make them wrong or right..
I am thinking to myself, how can someone attack me and others that think alike and look at this chick and get mad at other blacks for feeling some type of way...I guess thats why society will never change for the better and generations after generations will keep repeating history...because people look at things like this and think its socially acceptable and nothing is wrong with it...the **** is disgusting....
ya'll can defend this type of behavior a grown woman that cannot pronounce a 1 syllable word or cant put together one sentence is a direct reflection on our struggling society..something is DEFINITELY WRONG HERE
I guess ya'll are the same people calling BILL COSBY and MICHELLE OBAMA a c00n for calling a spade a spade,
First of all, your opinions aren't manifested in some vacuum where politics and social issues don't exist, so questioning their connections to those social issues is valid, as long as it's substantive.
Secondly, your argument here is that you're speaking the truth about her, and we're attacking you for that, but that's a strawman. As @No_bammer_weed already mentioned, her appearance and diction/ebonics aren't real revelations of any kind- nobody in here is defending her language or her appearance (that's not to validate you criticizing them.) Rather, the question is about why you're bringing them up in the first place as if they are truly relevant?
Do you really think Bill Cosby or Michelle Obama would watch this footage, in the context already described (that of a young, Black girl whose friend was gunned down, standing up to an intimidating white legal team trying to free his killer) and spend their time focusing on the girl's diction or appearance?

If I *did* , then so can the people on this Jury....I understand that certain things shouldn't matter, but some people will base their decision on perception or have it influence it some.
Zimmerman needs to go to Jail, I don't think anyone is denying that, but some people are just saying the girl was a mixture of Good and bad. But some how if some of us acknowledge the bad, we are somehow "c00ns"...
