St. Bernard Rescues Autistic Girl
A 7-year-old Brooklyn girl is miraculously alive and well today after plummeting three stories — thanks to a heroic neighbor, Steven St. Bernard, who raced into action and broke her fall.
Cops said little Keyla McCree pushed out one of the accordion pieces that was holding a brand- new air conditioner in a bedroom window of her Coney Island apartment and squeezed through the tiny opening before she fell off.
“She’s fine,” said the autistic girl’s mom, Shaleema McCree.
“Not a scratch on her. The man caught her, thank God.
“It’s a miracle.”

The most famous catch in the world is Willie Mays’ over the head grab at the polo grounds. I think this is better.

Was there video of the mother speaking that we are all not aware of?

About 2 weeks ago there was a story about some kid and his brother playing on tombstones in an old cemetery while his mother and father were taking pictures. The kid, about 7, same age as this little autistic girl, managed to get a 6 foot granite slab set into motion. The kid wandered in front of the tipping slab and was crushed.
I guess da parents be dozin while dere baby be shufflin in fronta da tippin grannit, huh?
I guess they could have used a “Saint Bernard” to bail them out.
Listen, I don’t mind people getting their shots in when we run a video of a flashmob, or a Denny’s fight, or some other gang related ridiculousness. If the people involved are ignorant savage thugs, so be it, no matter what color or ethnicity they are.
When you have no idea who the mother is and characterize her in this way, well…

Her mother would not talk to reporters Monday night or give her name.

So you did the speaking for her in the most racist way possible.
I see.
Well, actually I don’t see. I don’t see how not talking to these particular reporters Monday night means she’s everything you’re imagining her to be.
The NY Post reports that the woman was taking care of the girl’s brother in another room.
The woman had just bought the air conditioner because of the NY heat wave.
The housing authority was supposed to inspect the AC to ensure that it was installed properly, but they never arrived.

Bottom line is, in absence of any video of the mother (she could very well be some ebonics-laden welfare queen, who knows?) it’s pretty racist to do an imitation of the lady that way sight unseen.
UPDATE: Racist might be too strong a word. How about presumptuous? After all, there ARE plenty of black people who talk like you’ve characterized her. To call it disparaging is actually MORE insulting to the people who do talk like that.

My eyes went from headline to video without reading the article and, yes, I spent 5 minutes trying to spot a dog. STOP PLAYIN’ WITH MY MIND!!!

You’ve hurt my feeling, however from your Update, I can tell that you’re sorry and I accept your apology. How about an ethnic neutral updated comment: ‘Her mother would not talk to reporters Monday night or give her name’ until the next day after she had sobered up.
Love ya Fur.

Heck, in Georgia quite a few people call that box that blows out cold air an “aaa condition” regardless of race. Actually what’s odd is seeing someone from Central America or Korea pick up the local jargon and say “aaa condition” or “I’m goin’ wiff your Momanym”
