Black/Brown gangs in Compton

Postby 1234567890 » May 23rd, 2010, 4:23 pm

I was wondering whether the racial conflict in Compton is as intense now as it has been reported to be a few years ago. Has racial wars strenghtend/weakened certain sets or is the main reason for certain sets being weakened still due to wars with gangs of their own race. I know this is more than one question but do all Mexican sets claim "Nigger Killa"?

Alot less violence not for a lack of trying though-its just that so much of that citys black and latino youth are locked up. Gang killing sare down because gang members are down do to being incarcerated. Their are still killings there and in Long Beach its neighboring city their is still killings done over racial reasons-recently a few Long Beach hispanic gang members were arrested for doing dozens of shooting amongst blacks and asians and even other hispanics. check the citys police reports or newspapaers to get a better feel for it

Thanks. Seen stuff on youtube about certain black sets in the area. the sets did reveal racial tension but it was potrayed as mexicans being more racial to blacks. however it must be said that the documentary did not question mexican varrios about the issue so i couldntverify the claim.
