I know, I keep telling people, I'm of purebred Canadian race; it's so racist they lump me in there with those other filthy caucasians.

Stevenstar - Exactly. This foolish drivel as I have said all along. Typical of this website, unfortunately.

Not a good week for the Irish and their assosciation with alcohol. The Healy Rae nonsense in Kerry played out in the global media all last week and now a headline like this.

By this reasoning Shaquille O'Neal is also an 'Irishman'. Typical IC muckraking drivel.

Fair play to Isodore. Credit to any man placing himself in danger to aid another. Regardless of the side show of what colour creed or nationality either is.

This article made me laugh till my stomach hurt. The baqnner, the photo the COPY itself--oh!, and the first comment--are absolutely made up; pure fiction. Thanks for the levity on such a freezing cold night.

I believe this Irish man needed the help of the Lord and he received the lord,s help through this African man.Now I am not much of a lover of anyone that is not the colour of my own skin, but I believe that Jesus works in mysterious ways, maybe this is how that Irish man was supposed to be returned to the Lord OUR SAVIOUR.

Isidore Branham is a true hero! Thank heavens he had proper training, and had previously been on the tracks.

@PhlutiePhan, Thank-you. Wouldn't it be nice if more people acted like this man? Take care now. :-)

By the way, if he is an Irishman, what County is he from? Manhattan County perhaps??

Portia - perhaps. I do not know the poor mans circumstances. I am questioning why he is labeled as an Irishman. That's typical IC self loathing. Do they scrape the gutters each day for this stuff? Nothing like this happened to a 'Spanish', 'Italian', 'German'' person? Pure trash.
