Charles Ramsey: No burgers for Cleveland hero
“I want everyone to know that I have nothing to do with this trash,” Charles Ramsey says of the burger offers and video games that have been made based on him.“Ramsey also wants everyone to know that he does not endorse the consortium of Northeast Ohio restaurants who are offering ‘Ramsey Burgers’ or who are promoting that Ramsey can receive free burgers from them for life,” Patricia Walker, Ramsey’s intellectual property lawyer, says in a statement. “Ramsey encourages people to do things that will help the victims.”

do we, as black people, need to talk about how many abusers and rapists have friends, people that love them and people that make excuses for them?
do we, as black people, need to talk about how many male abusers and rapists have women as friends, women that love them and women that make excuses for them?
do we, as black people, need to talk about how abusers and rapists having friends, loved ones and enablers (many of which are who are women) does not negate the fact that they are abusers and rapists?
because i am legitimately flabbergasted as to how you can watch people harass, stalk, condemn bully and abuse someone (who was just existing in peace mind you) for days on end and ultimately fix your mouth to say that the person who started and continued the bullying is not an abuser but the victim of a continuing onslaught of abuse is actually the abuser by virtue of naming names and pointing out character traits.
i am flabbergasted as to how you can watch days of continuous abuse and only say something when the victim is fed up with being dragged.
you can chill in that trash heap too homie. Oscar the grouch got mad cousins that i didn’t know about.

He became the country’s youngest political detainee when he spent his 12th birthday in jail without trial. At the age of 13 he was expelled from school.Moeketsi was kidnapped on 29 December 1988 after a school rally, accused of being a police informer and murdered at the age of 14.
