We're committed to publishing your comments as they are received. We place a red star () on the best submissions and may edit your e-mail for length or content. Your e-mail address will not be published or shared with any third party without your consent.

We look forward to hearing from you.

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.
