  • Just watched the YouTube video that goes with your story and have to say this is a shoddy piece of yellow journalism. Your "story" falls apart quickly when you state that the Point is a white enclave with a handful of African-American residents. One walk through the neighborhoods proves this to be fantasy. If you had a real story, then you won't have to embellish it. If you have facts, and not just the deluded ranting of a handful of racist drunks, then please give them to us. If not, then please have the integrity to present your "story" as the biased opinion piece that it is.
