The Best I've Read Yet [View all]

on the subject of Charles Ramsey and the discrimination that falls especially heavy on black men. I've watched his interviews with the same reaction as the writer but never could imagine telling it so well.

Still, I'd also like to point out Mr. Ramsey insisted that any reward offered to him should go to the victims instead. I salute a real man, who also happens to be blessed with great comic wit and timing even in adverse circumstances.
