[Harry Rex Vonner]

Did you hear her interview after the trial. She is very smart.

Are you serious? As compared to what? I suppose that "smart" may be a comparative concept. She is 19, still in high school, and cannot read cursive writing which, I suspect, is merely the tip of the iceberg of her educational shortcomings. No. She is certainly not intellectually sufficient when compared to most others even ten years her junior. Of course, she is probably a bit smarter than a blade of grass. No offense intended to the blade of grass.

I really think all the attempts to paint Rachel in a ultra positive light are based on the feeling of many that she, in appearance and in demeanor, is stereotypical of what many see when they picture many minority people.

Fair or not fair that is reality. And, anyone who believes that life is fair or will ever be fair is living in a fantasy world.
