Washington, DC - While the George Zimmerman trial moved on to other witnesses, people are still talking about the dramatic cross-examination of the late Trayvon Martin’s friend Rachel Jeantel.Stacy Swimp, a member of the Project 21 black leadership network, said the demeanor and language exhibited by Jeantel on the stand “was a clear manifestation of the cultural perversions that are normalized throughout many of our urban communities.”

Swimp suggests that, rather than criticizing Jeantel’s actions, Americans should be reaching out to urban communities to “promote spiritual revival” and help teach residents of the inner-city about things such as morals and fiscal literacy.

Conservatives Asked to Reach Out to Zimmerman Trial Witness Rachel Jeantel and Others Like Her!

It's good to see there are at least a few black leaders who are 1) conservative and 2) disappointed and not accepting the excuses other blacks gave Rachel Jeantel's lack of respect, lack of reading ability, etc.

While watching the testimony of Rachel Jeantel during the Zimmerman trial, my heart broke.

Despite my sadness, I was also angry. I am still angry because it would seem that someone brought this girl into the world and allowed her to grow up essentially without an education or manners.

Someone had very low expectations for her.

It was a clear manifestation of the cultural perversions that are normalized throughout many of our urban communities.

I see this day in, day out where I live.

When she said that the term “creepy a– cracker,” a term she said the late Trayvon Martin used to describe George Zimmerman, is not racial, she sounded very sincere and serious.

This speaks to the low standards, as well as the low expectations that appear normal to her environment.

To be so accepting of such a hateful and racial term, and to imply it is a normal part of the lexicon used by herself, her community and Trayvon Martin is regrettable.

Ms. Jeantel’s testimony and what it revealed really ought to give us a greater sense of urgency, as ministers of the gospel and as conservatives, to get into these communities to promote spiritual revival along with English, morals and constitutional and financial literacy.

If we don’t see very clearly from this young woman’s behavior just how bad things can be, we just don’t want to see it at all.

I pray many of my conservative peers will motivated by what I saw to go and sign up to be mentors to young girls like Ms. Jeantel, to help them grown in literacy and personal dignity.

Those are great comments by Mr. Swimp.
