That account is deep and very thoughtful. Unfortunately he isn't the first to under go this experience in the Flats. There was two sisters about 4 or 5 years ago that got shot after a confrontation with some members of the Flats. They were out to prove a little something but moving on two females, one a pre-teen at that actually put them in a negative light. I guess it's hard for some to believe but there are actually a select few rules of engagement which when broken well enough said.

Anyway the Flats are known to be a little less civil than the Mt. Vernon cliques which due to history and geography have lived in close proximity to other races and therefore aren't on the race thing quite as much as the Flats. Don't get me wrong, there are issues but nothing like the incidents involving the Flats. The Toperos are probably the least racist of the three if you were ranking them in order. Which I'm not.
