Into The Fire: Rachel Jeantel Tells Radio Host Ricky Smiley She Wants To Be A Lawyer | Mediaite
July 23rd, 2013 VIDEO» comments
One of the more reluctant media figures to emerge from the George Zimmerman trial was 19 year-old Rachel Jeantel, the last person to speak to unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin, aside from the man who killed him. Her contentious exchanges with defense attorney Don West sparked conversations about cultural differences, and the way many in the media reacted to them. Jeantels unpleasant experience in the courtroom hasnt scarred her too deeply, however, as she told radio host Ricky Smiley, last week, that she aspires to become an attorney.
ES: So Rachel, in that, what, what, because, in one of the interviews last night I saw that, uh, they were talking about, of course, the past year and a half of your life has been a whirlwind. You have not yet completed high school but you want to do that so that you can go to college, correct?
RJ: Yes, I am.
ES: And what do you want to major in?
RJ: Law enforcement. Or Ive been thinking about an attorney, becoming an attorney. You never know.
A white person with her skill set would have no chance but she's black and thanks to affirmative action can get into plenty of colleges where affirmative action grading will ensure she passes every course just by showing up. Likewise with the bar exam.

In this great country of ours any child can grow up to be anything they want to be.....
In this case
IS SHE OUT OF HER FREAKING MIND!
They can give her free grades all they like but her ability to perform as a lawyer will be much less than qualified and as such she won't find work. She'll end up flipping burgers somewhere.
Though with the apparent lack of jobs in the U.S. right now flipping burgers may actually become a respectable job again...

I don't know whether to agree with you or despise you.
It's never unfair to underestimate the power of human desire, but a the same time this poor child isn't exactly the brightest candle I've ever seen.
Either way, it's a retarded topic. Just leave her alone.
If illiterate George W. Bush can be a two-term President, than why not illiterate Jenteal as a lawyer?
I thought the idea of America was that you can improve your lot?
Does this thread mean to say that you should not improve your lot?
Well if Obama can become President of the Harvard Law Review with the help of affirmative action, anything is possible.

Why do chicken shit rw's ALWAYS have to lie?
Some of you are so pessimistic.
People can better themselves. No matter how much you put them down, they can be better.
If she wants to be an attorney, she can work hard to become one.
