ust like pretty much everyone in France—and many around the world—President Emmanuel Macron was highly impressed by 22-year-old Mamoudou Gassama. Video that quickly went viral over the weekend showed how Gassama, a Malian migrant, went into action and scaled four floors of an apartment building in Paris’ northern 18th district Saturday evening in mere seconds to rescue a four-year-old child who was dangling from a balcony.

2. there was a dividing wall

between the balconies. I bet he thought he may not be able to safely swing the child around to get him on his side of the balcony.

6. Trump has a hard time handing the limelight over to America's heroes

7. Thought about that

Compare with the Con and Waffle House hero James Shaw Jr.

9. Trump can't stand to turn spotlight on someone else. and he never would have

offered citizenship to a person of color

10. But Shaw is an American

I think the Con was pissed that a black man stopped a white man with an AR-15 rifle.

11. I know he is. But if he wasn't, no way would Trump offer citizenship

[malaise]

13. The Con didn't acknowledge him

He grabbed that weapon on April 23rd and the Con called him on May14 after most of America wanted to know why he hadn't called. He's a shithound!

8. Fantastic Move By France's President... Showing Dignity and Courage to acknowledge this man

This amazing man shows the humane courage that is awarded with the respect it is due. Its a great example again, of the courage of people of color, acting without regard for the color of another, to be of great humane spirit and selfless efforts to be and show humane regard.

The internet has made it possible for these acts to be known by the world, as well as show the nature of black people as being far different than the derogatory malice'd narrative that was spread for 100's of years.

This child can go on to have a future... Thanks to this man... 22-year-old Mamoudou Gassama

Here in America, Trump could not even acknowledge the (black) man with grace and respect who took the gun from the Killer who had taken lives inside the Waffle House.

12. It must show our nature to white people

because those of us who are of African origin or have grown up with and live with people of African origin know that we're just as human as everyone else - including the good and the bad.

15. Exactly....

in some of our families there is white people, and black people... and it comes to be that.. "we are all people"... there is the mix of the good, bad and the indifferent.
We all have challenges and we have pains and we have love and we have hurt... its natural to the living human beings sphere of existence.

the more we learn about history and the hows and why's things are as they are today, the more we can address it with aims and hope to make it better for "all".

Denials of truths prosper no man in his heart. Therefore, we have to face truths, and truths are never of one flavor nor is it of all bitter or all sweet to the taste.
We have to learn the painful as well as the joyful... we have to learn the things we can be proud of and the things we are not proud of.... Truth always deal with the full scope.... it takes the will in heart to want to know the truths, and then it take the will in mind to acknowledge and find accord with the truth, to be able to propel what is true forward... Then society become a better place for all.

Human spirit and ingenuity is not based on race or skin color... it comes through the truth in the soul of mankind.
