Charles Ramsey is a true hero. And he is funny as hell! If you listen carefully, he’s quite astute, mixes in a pretty good vocabulary with pithy and descriptive colloquialisms and idiom. He paints a very vivid picture with just a few words.

Quite frankly, this guy could have a career as a standup comedian.

I’m sorry, this guy is just a good guy. (Except whatever went down domestic)

He is just being himself, and WTH is wrong with that?!

He did a great job and doesn’t think himself a hero, just what anyone would have done..... How many stories have we read where people don’t want to get involved? He DID! He is being maligned because he dared to speak in a non PC voice about a Pretty White Girl... Sounds refreshing to me.

Thank you Charles for your giving a sh1t!

Ramsey is the latest "hilarious black neighbor" to become an Internet celebrity, wrote Aisha Harris on the website Slate. "It's difficult to watch these videos and not sense their popularity has something to do with a persistent, if unconscious, desire to see black people perform," she wrote.

I eat McDonald's
I eat ribs

I am so white I don't go to the beach to get a tan; I go to neutralize the blue.

Apologies to the late George Carlin

“I would like for him to be remembered, as he said, as a good man who did what anyone else would have done in that situation,” she said.”

Yes, agreed, but the fact remains he did what NO ONE ELSE HAD DONE in all those years.

He IS a hero, let us appreciate him for what he did.

Simply, inadvertently, by accident, HOWEVER

He freed those women. Nobody else did that.

This has been a scary story.

I, myself, have a family member who “disapeared” a long time ago.

It is one thing to think your sister/daughter/whoever is dead, it is quite another to think she is a captive in a Cleveland basement.

That horror will go on, but not for these women.

Thanks to that ONE MAN, a hero.

Kudos to you sir.

I will buy your autotune, because $1.00 is all I can afford, but you do deserve recompense, you do.

Of course, no in-depth analysis of Mr. Ramsey's commentary can go without mentioning his reference to " big testicles" and the "pretty white girl", just to show how Mr. Ramsey's world has been tainted by our white racist stereotypes.

But.... haven't we seen this guy before?

I’m reminded of the guy who saved President Ford when that woman tried to shoot him. And then someone had to “out” him as a homosexual and we all got to read about it in the papers. The Media needs to learn that sometimes the less said, the better.

The dishwater media seeks to build people up “he’s a hero!” only to then turn around and trash them “he’s a former(?) abuser himself!!!” all in the span of 2 days.

Keep it up, pressitutes and no one will stick their neck out to do anything again. Too much chance of personal exposure.

It’s been enough to get some people to not run for higher office. Now even everday schlubs will keep in their place to avoid the wrath of snarky journalists (who went from ridiculing his dinner choice of McDonald’s and his racist worldview that a white girl would only call for him if she needed something).

Not everyone wants to be the next viral video joke.

So they want to change the way Charles Ramsey interviews on TV because white people like watching the black guy “perform”?

Now THAT is racist. People of all colors are happy the girls were saved. Charles Ramsey is a colorful character (no pun intended) and people liked the way he spoke. It brought a little bit of levity into a horrible situation.

Who’s this author to say how he should act?

If we weren’t talking about him, it would be because we racists don’t like black people!
