What a hero.

After reading numerous reports of stabbings, gun crime, and gang warfare, etc, among young blacks, it is so refreshing to read this report of a very brave black lad who burst into a burning house to rescue this infant.

Well done Nelson

I agree with you, OldGit. Great to read of this gallant deed by the very brave black lad.

Not quite sure why your post should create such a hoo-ha, but hey-ho. :o/

"What are you actually saying sp, that the media should ignore these killings just to state that 'Leroy' came top in his class?"

No - I wasn't talking about the media. I was talking about your posts.

As I tried to carefully say - some of us have baggage on AB. I am known for my favourite bugbears, and you are known for yours. Whether people are being fair by prejudging the reasons for your posts is debatable, as are members' presuppositions about my posts.

By the way, Leroy is not a common name amongst young black males in the 21st century. I have no idea why you would've chosen that to illustrate your point.

The rest of your post kinda just reiterates the point I already made - that the natural juxtaposition of a 'gang story' is a 'going to university/college' story. By agreeing with me, you haven't really made a point - you've just agreed with me.

Which is quite confusing.

i know any number of Leroy's, why should it matter.
