I wish this guy was my brother! This is the kind of brother to have. One that’s got your back and is there for you.

What’s been disturbing me on FB is that this clip is being passed around as if there’s something comical about the victim and her brother. It takes on a real racist tone like check out how hysterically these people in the projects acted and that’s somehow funny. WTF? Of course, they’re hysterical. Someone crawled into her window and tried to rape her. Who wouldn’t be?

I just don’t think it would have gotten the mocking it did if this had happened to a brother and sister in a mostly white suburb or town instead of to two black siblings in the inner city. Everyone would have been saying what they should have in the first place — her brother’s a hero for protecting his sister.

Also, I think your sister may again be in the running for ‘comment of the week’….”I wish he were my brother instead of you” HAHAHA

Obviously, they interview some beauties down in Huntsville. At least this guy had teeth. More than Secretariat did but at least he had them.
