StreetGangs.Com forum on gangs around the world

I'm going to translate MCD's last comment: "I'm telling you what I WANT YOU TO BELIEVE, and you refuse to believe it! Argggh. Now I'm going to demand that you show evidence to justify your refusal to comply with my propaganda, even though I have no evidence of my own to offer, just anecdotal, unprov...

Just go back to doing what you do best, lecturing people on your own idea of how blacks and Mexicans feel about each other, so I can just call you on your bulls#@t again.

This has been going on for years. At some beaches in OC, they'll throw rocks at outsiders. What's hilarious is that they call it "localism". lol. What is that? Black kids do it, it's called gang banging, or "urban terrorism". Those white surfer guys jump an outsider, it's "localism". Almost hints as...

Looks interesting. Kindle version's 2.99 at amazon. Might check it out.

I'm actually formulating valid inferences

Ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also re: the FBI party crew video...it's amazing how in awe they all are over the camera. Just shows how rare it was in those days for people to film themselves. Right from the beginning you could see them all standing there in front of the store, most of them not knowing what to even do. Technology...

Thanks for posting the video, J. I'm right about their age. That's what Broadway in Sacramento looked like too on a good night. I wonder why they call it gang life, though? Seems like just cruising and partying.

Look, I can use flawed logic as well. Well, I wouldn't know. I skimmed right over most of your comment, looking for anything insightful or educational. Don't know if your logic is flawed, but I do know you've fully bought into hyperbolic exaggerations about the relationship between blacks and Mexic...

I took a criminal justice course at Sacramento City College in the early '90s (merely as an elective, no goals of going into law enforcement), and the professor spent about a month on La Eme and Nuestra Familia, and how they affected street gangs. Guy was pretty interesting. His brother in-law was a...

Why is it that most of the racial tension is in southern California? Why isn't there nearly as much racial tension in northern California? The norteños seem to get along just fine with blacks..why is this? It's really in the Los Angeles area. There aren't that many racially motivated gang murders i...

MCD wrote: Trust me, there are far more latinos doing it than blacks.

Trust me, there's not.

For every Mexican who thinks blacks are lazy and ignorant, there is a black person who thinks Mexicans are lazy and ignorant. Both are wrong. But both have these preconceived notions.

blacks being raised or holding any prejudice towards hispanics is soooo rare. No, it's not. There are a lot of black people who believe Mexicans are lazy and ignorant just as there are a lot of Mexicans who feel that way about blacks. Both are wrong. But the preconceived notions go both ways, and n...

I feel those kinds of prejudices are reactionary, due to tensions caused by latinos to be honest. Nope. There are a lot of black people who proactively view Mexicans as lazy and arrogant, not as a reaction to anything Mexicans have done. They've had such views of Mexicans all along. Of course, they...

I read this interesting article about Frog Town, that talked about Southeast Asians ( I want to say Cambodian, but I forget), actually confronting residents and begging them to sell their homes to them, so that they could join their relatives that already live in the neighborhood. Can't remember whe...

Tujunga looks to be an area of L.A. totally unaffected by gentrification, similar to Elysian Valley (Frog Town).

From the black and brown gangs listed that get along, seems most of them are right in the heart of south central.

lol. "ratio", not "ration". good grief.

Good points MCD. But don't blacks and hispanics live close to each other in southern California as well? I'm sure there are 100% hispanic or black neighborhoods but arent there mixed neighborhoods as well? Why is it that there is a sharing of cultures in the north but not in the south? I think cult...

MCD wrote: many latinos hold a prejudice to blacks, perceiving them as lazy, arrogant, etc.. so it only makes sense that some gangs would extend that prejudice into full blown racism.

Many blacks hold the very same prejudices toward Latinos.

^^ How can you say it made the movie look hardcore? The movie sucked. I think one of the foos from the movie hit me up before. You know when the middle aged guy with the arm ripped shirt asks a girl for change at the park and he finds out its his homegirl and he wouldnt accept the money; I think he...

I heard there coming-out with a sequel to mi vida loca (my crazy life) titled Smile Now Cry Later it's in development as of now.and there wasn't that much violence portrayed in this movie at all.there wasn't that much violence taking place in this movie.I also know that that hyna whisper in the mov...

I was wondering myself if they would try doing a black and Latino gang.

Does anyone know if this show was picked up for another season?

I gave it a try. Kind of different to see real Los Angeles gang members playing Los Angeles gang members. But like most cops shows today, it uses that tired old formula, "Ok, cops are bad, but let's face it, these gang members are a lot worse!". If t.v. is still going to work as a propaganda arm for...

J, do you know where to get this?

I actually lived in Diamond Bar for a short time about a decade ago. There is really no gang presence at all. The person above is correct in that there is a large Asian population in the area. There is next to no graffiti. You can walk anywhere, anytime, and there's almost no chance you'll be confro...

"Submitted by night reader on Mon, 12/31/2007 - 02:40. Lomas refers to the Garvey Hills south of Graves. That's where they're from. Anyone who walked up there in the 70s will remember that the hills weren't so nice, and that cholos were up there, near Garvey Ranch Park, and all along San Gabriel you...

I posted that the day before the tsunami. Sorry for jinxing you, Santa Cruz.

I've been to Santa Cruz, all parts, so many times I've lost count. I've never noticed much of a Norteno presence (Nearby Watsonville is another story). The neighborhood down by the Santa Cruz boardwalk has always been occupied by Latinos, and it has always looked very poor. Houses the size of a bedr...

Cosa Nostra is very racist against all blacks and Latinos. Whatever relationship they could have with the Mexican Mafia could only be of the Mexican Mafia working in servitude of them. The Mexican Mafia can outwit them and out power them all they want to in the prisons, it won't change the viewpoint...

What's the story with Malik? A lot of you seem to not like him.

"We don't have anything to do with the feeder system". - Ken Bell, retired LAPD, on American Gangster: Tookie Williams He said this as he talked of the failures of Operation Hammer, and described how as they were driving back to the station, he'd see the replacements of the very gang members they ar...
