Race War or Media Hype?
Race War or Media Hype?
viewtopic.php?t=18373
But among detectives and police officers who deal daily with homicides, the prevailing view is that the race problem--for now, anyway--remains marginal. "I don't think it's there," says Watts homicide Det. Chris Barling
But out of a total of 236 homicides in these four divisions last year, just 22 involved Latinos killing blacks, or blacks killing Latinos.
In LAPD’s Southeast Division in Watts, for example, the population is at least 56% Latino and 40% black, according to U.S. Census numbers. But of 70 homicides reported there last year, only one was confirmed as black-on-Latino. No Latino-on-black killings occurred at all.
Of the 20 homicides in the Harbor City-area precinct last year, only one other is confirmed to have involved Latino suspects and a black victim
In areas patrolled by the L.A. County Sheriff's Department, too, the pattern of killings on the street is “almost the opposite” of the picture lately highlighted in the media, sheriff's Cmdr. Pete Amico says.
But other investigators are frustrated by what they call over-hyped stories of rising violence between races. “Crime here is race on race"

The media always makes something more than it is. Some areas its worse than others, and like kushsmoke said, shit can pop off anytime, but its still just a gang thing, if you gonna hate someone cuz they from a different set, it shouldnt come as a surprise you can have hate for someone from a different ract. its not like regular mexicans and blacks got hate for each other. And on the harbor city area statistics, there were quite a few blacks that got shot but werent killed.

you guys have no idea how bad the race war is in some citys like LB which is the place I can speak on-tons of ools have died and tons have been shot -blck vs mexicans-during the late 90s the LONGOS were extermonting blacks in LB and were wiping the floor with ICG and R2os....but then the injunctions completely obliterated them,they arent around as much -I read in the paper that ESL are considered a hate gang and that of the 29 ESL gang members arrested fro murder and attempted murder only one was in their for shooting a hispanic.THe rest of their victims were asians and blacks-ESL gang members in prisons and jails claima brown supremacy-they deride other latino gangs for killing latinos-and take special pride in saying that they dont kill latinos anymore1Shox112 wrote:U RIGHT ABOUT that THERE's JUST ABOUT ONE RACIST GANG IN WATTS AND that WAS COLONIA WATTS...THEY GOT RAN OUT BUT OTHER THEN that AINT NO RACE WAR GONNA EVER CRACCC IN WATTS PERIOD...AS FAR AS US AND the REST OF the HOMIES IS CONCERNED WE THINK ITS JUST PROPAGANDAthing is mexicans in watts are acutually really cool with the blacks. in other places its different, but i do agree the media DOES exaggerate everything.

When it comes down to black vs mexican gang war. The black bangers are smoking sureno Gz in a major way and the mexicans are shooting any black outside. The mexicans have hit some black areas to often since the 90's murdering any blacks to the point where the blacks had to respond in the same fashion. Compton, Long Beach, Pomona, Riverside, Adams - Pico dist, Florence, and several other areas. I'm down with the black damu team and have no luv for surenoK.
