He does resemble Al Sharpton.
Goodness gracious! This man, who seems like a very likeable fellow, intuited that something bad had happened to that little girl and asked him to help her. He was animated and seemed ebullient. His facial features, when he spoke with the reporter, tells us he was making a joke. He smiled and raised his eyebrows and drew in a little closer. I never once thought he was making a racial statement. Now the PC police come out to tell us what to think about what we saw.
Much ado about nothing. I presume when he said “a little pretty white girl ran into a black man’s arms” he meant his own arms. Had he said “into the arms of a grizzled old coot,” the meaning would be the same but the controversy wouldn’t be there.
Whites feel deeply guilty about racism?
Speak for yourself chump
I work in Cleveland. I was walking down the hall the day this went down and overheard a black woman on the phone saying “Charles Ramsey is so ghetto. He’s an embrassment to black people.”
I strongly disagree....he is a real American...that’s what we do. A man going about his everyday life when fate, luck, God...something presented an opportunity to actually do something for someone else. He put his own safety aside and did what needed to be done.
He has done more for race relations than that idiot in the White House ever has.
This bum Ramsey has a long rap sheet for beating and abusing women. He is no kind of hero.

The politically correct media chose to lionize the wrong guy this time.
