Jeantel: Nigga Not A Racist Word

P

Good to know Jeantel. It's good to hear from an expert linguist in black slang. Oh wait. Are you sure about that Jeantel?

In the third part of Piers Morgan‘s extensive, exclusive interview with Trayvon Martin‘s (girl) friend Rachel Jeantel about her testimony in the George Zimmerman trial, the host asked his guest if there was anything she wished she’d said on the stand. Jeantel answered with one word: “Nigga.”

Jeantel explained to Morgan that “the whole world say it’s a racist word” but the version of the word that she testified Martin had used in reference to Zimmerman, spelled “n-i-g-g-a” doesn’t mean what most people think it means. It doesn’t mean a “black male” as Morgan assumed, she said, but rather any kind of man, including “Chinese” for example. Morgan helpfully pointed out that that’s the version rappers use in their music.

“But nigger,” Jeantel said, stressing the “-er.,” is a “racist word.” She said “I’d advise you not to be by black people” when you say that word, Jeantel explained, “because they’re not going to have it like that.” And this is not just in her community as Morgan posited but in the entire “generation.”

Jeantel was clearly attempting to illuminate a conundrum that has plagued media coverage of race, not just during the Zimmerman trial but for decades, begging the question, does America need another CNN special on the “n-word?”

That's not the English language, that's the BEV dialect.

also known as ebonics, an accepted dumbed down version of the English language recently created by blacks. If there were an ebonics dictionary, the blacks wouldn't refer to it.

Excuse her stupidity all you like. Thinking people know she's an uneducated moron and a racist.
It's not all bad for her though. I'll bet a months wages she has a reality show coming her way. She's just too prime a target for leftist Hollywood not to exploit.

Great, I'm heading down to south central and I'm going to yell out my car window "Helllooooo, niggas!" I'm so happy to know that nobody will think I'm a racist as I do that and they will ALL think I'm just being friendly. I'm sure not one nigga will try to cap my ass if I do that.
