"I didn't understand her" I couldn't connect with her/ discounted her testimony. I saw her(Rachel) on Piers Morgan reacting to the hurtful remarks of the juror. I am ashamed of some of my fellow white people.
On TYT right now.

(89,262 posts)she came off as a fucking dumbass.
isn't it something when someone is so wrong about themselves and others and how others view things.
i wonder how badly it hurt to know that people are so disgusted that the book deal was dropped by the publisher. she really thinks she was someone people would identify with and connect with and view Rachel the same way she did.

Edit: The house was bought by a Mexican/Puerto Rican family with 3 kids. Much nicer neighbors than that snooty woman and her husband.

Go Rachel!
