Sorry. There maybe parts of my memory that is incorrect. I may also be injecting my own personal experience of having been jumped by groups of People for "That white boy is different" and have been beaten near to death in Pre-K leaving me in the hospital comatose for several weeks (the doctor telling my mother I might not make it [it is all in the paperwork]). I have developed P.T.S.D. over the years and that was before I had joined the Army. People do not get over it and I was projecting elements of my experience on what may the MC had felt. My bad.
