Presenters Bill Turnbull and Susanna Reid were forced to do most of the talking during the short segment with Beatles legend Paul McCartney’s 35-year-old son.
Twitter users dubbed the interview as “excruciating” and a “PR disaster”.LOL! So funny!
Following a clip of McCartney singing, Turnbull pondered whether as a McCartney, it was a prerequisite to play “all sorts of different instruments”.
After some confusion over the word ‘prerequisite’, McCartney said: “Is it? Not really. But for me it is… No, I don’t know.”
And when did he start playing? “When I was about five. Specifically when I was about 20.”Hilarious, I'm sure you'll agree?
Young black teenager gives cringingly embarrassing performance? Shut up! You’re mean and racist!
Rachel Jeantel has her own particular, idiosyncratic black girl idiom, a mashup of her Haitian and Dominican working-class background, her U.S. Southern upbringing, and the three languages – Hatian Kreyol (or Creole), Spanish and English — that she speaks.
The unique quality of her black vernacular speaking style became hypervisible against the backdrop of powerful white men fluently deploying corporate, proper English in ways that she could not do.She couldn't do? Damn that white man, keeping the black girl down and making her speak gibberish and not English!

"Though she was not on trial, she seemed to know instinctively that black womanhood, black manhood and urban adolescence are always on trial in the American imaginary."
Translation: "It's all whitey's fault".

KREYOL?
I doubt she can speak any language properly. More black victimhood supported by liberal white wankers
Some great comments in that article!
How is he a 'young white teenager'? He's a 35 year old man..
"Translation: "It's all whitey's fault"."
Ain't it always..?
"Some great comments in that article!"
Indeed! :)

Yeah, I realised that after I posted it!
XX a mashup of her Haitian and Dominican working-class background, her U.S. Southern upbringing, and the three languages – Hatian Kreyol (or Creole), Spanish and English — that she speaks. XX
I can translate that.
It means "Cotton pickin' nigger."
Where is your problem?
The whole Rachel Jeantel stink was ginned up for one reason and one reason only. And that reason was to drown out the reporting on how much of a total train wreck she was as a witness for the prosecution.
I see the author is "Assistant Professor of Women's Studies and Africana (sic?) Studies" at Rutgers.
How on Earth did America manage before the creation of these - no doubt tenured - sinecures?
"And that reason was to drown out the reporting on how much of a total train wreck she was as a witness for the prosecution."
I'd like to say there's no question about the verdict. But...you just never know, with juries.
"How on Earth did America manage before the creation of these - no doubt tenured - sinecures?"
A lot better?
