What ‘White People’ DO Understand About Rachel Jeantel
Moreover, it isn’t the court’s responsibility to “understand” a witness. Jeantel offered the court evidence. Then she lied about it. The court certainly “understands” when a witness lies. Nothing in Jeantel’s background makes that okay.
Next, Coleman convicts Zimmerman: “loss of life without justice.” If ever there was a lack of intelligence on display, Coleman trumped the benighted Jeantel with that ill-conceived expression of wishful thinking.
Lastly, Coleman insists that blacks are a world unto themselves. She asserts that black and white populations are “worlds apart” and that this “was never Jeantel’s fault.” It is the fault of anyone who perpetrates that idea and believes it.
Dr. Walter E. Williams is an economist, author, commentator, and academic. He is also black. His website contains a printable, tongue-in-cheek certificate absolving white Americans of guilt against blacks. Political correctness has conferred the black separateness fantasy ongoing license. It openly began when Al Sharpton wasn’t held responsible for the for the lives he destroyed with his Tawana Brawley machinations.
That trend continues. Extremists engineer racist incidents against themselves , hoping to create racial furor. No one is ever punished for it. Black on white violence goes unreported and unprosecuted. But rational human beings, regardless of color, understand that declaring oneself victimized neither advances their cause nor does it make deceitful assertions true.
If any segment of Americans chooses to create a subculture, slang-uage and behaviors that intentionally segregates them from other Americans their choice does not forgive them their responsibility as Americans. There is still only one law in this nation; everyone must abide by it. Attempts to fashion oneself indecipherable by the rest of society, because of a perverted desire to preserve victimhood in perpetuity, is a despicable ambition. It is cowardly and, above all, wrong.
Any segment of the black community that clings to prejudice as a security blanket only reduces its own options. That ploy, straining an ever-more-tentative stranglehold on America’s evaporating guilt, is losing its power. As it should after a 200 year run.
