Comments on: Black and Hispanic ‘Hate’ in LA County

As a Ventura County, Ca. native son (54 yrs. old), I will second Mr. Doudi’s “motion”. The liberalization/feminization of American culture is taking us to precisely the picture he painted, whether we want to hear it or not. The perverse, weak-kneed Liberal officials at all levels have well demonstrated their proclivities by their fearful, pandering actions toward inner-city gangs, illegal immigrants and Muslim Jihadists.

Solzhenitsyn was right: when a nation forgets God and slops at the trough of pleasure and convenience, chaos is sure to follow.

God bless one and all…

Mwalimu is right. Here in LA, over the past year, there’s been violence between blacks and Mexicans at Venice high school. In South Central, a black gang member shot a couple of Mexicans about 4 months ago. The first thing the Mayor said was “This was not racially motivated,” which means that it was, of course. The list of Mexican on black and black on Mexican crimes is endless. In Fontana, there was a race riot about a couple months ago.

We really have spineless leaders that talk out of both sides of their mouth out here. The illegal immigrants are really a problem, and you don’t really feel like you’re in the US anymore.

Teach your children to work for what they want and train them to compete with people of all races, not just each other or â€œLatinos.â€ Take your dogs out of the fight and just say â€œNOâ€ to preferred minority perks.

BRAVA!!

Thank you LaShawn for stating what needs to be done.

Sorry, Tim, but I’m not joking. And it’s the ugly truth. Have you seen what goes on in the inner cities? These are not gangs anymore in the Hollywood sense, these are budding nation-states with psychopathic leaders who appeal to ethnic hatreds and are capable of monstrous crimes. It is different from Somalia in that (so far) it is on a much smaller scale than what we see there.

And I don’t doubt for an instant what these psychopaths would do if given half a chance at exercising governmental power. Don’t underestimate them, I beg you.

Sorry, Mwalimu Daudi, that comment was ugly, even if you were joking.

After John Kerry’s stupid “end up in Iraq” commentary that he eventually apologized for, we need to have a positive message.

MOST AMERICANS (sorry to go all caps) IDENTIFY THEMSELVES AS CONSERVATIVE.

Many of those same God fearing Americans say they want THEIR Social Security … How will it be PAID for is the question because people think they will get it … just because …

We(all of us) have to complain every time spending is not cut and free give-aways are given.

Americans don’t LIKE liberal tax policy … they endorse CONSERVATIVE[1] tax policy and I find it hard to believe that even when reported in the media that some people LIKE paying more taxes.

[1] We elect Conservative Republicans here in Texas that make sure we pay few taxes.

I think we are watching the Somalia-ization of American major cities: Where weak, corrupt and inefficient governments exist that fail to enforce laws honestly and protect citizens, warlords and their well-armed gangs move in to fill the vacuum.

I predict that within 20 years (maybe sooner) governments officials will begin negotiating power-sharing agreements with these warlords. Of course, the government will never be honest enough to admit it.

Our cities are well on their way to becoming American versions of Mogadishu.

La Shawn: Unbeknowest to you, people with no stake in the game are laughing as you kill and maim one another over crumbs. . . . Accept no handouts or set-asides from the government or excuses from yourselves or from white liberals.

WHAM! BAM! Thank you Ma’am.

Ironic how back in the 50s/60s — back to the Zoot Suits even — no one was calling the Latino/Black gang wars a hate crime. Just ask Tom Skinner or Nikki Cruz who came up out of Harlem’s gang scene. The only constant over time is that they are fighting for crumbs, the pursuit of which leads to a short lifespan.

Try as they might, the multi-kulti liberal brigade can’t save the lost, let alone make headway. Speaking of LA, isn’ that Jesse Jackson’s turf. How in God’s name can the ‘reverend’ do nothing about the tragedy in his backyard while extorting corporations for their lack of ‘diversity’? On second thot, forget I asked, he’s the kingpin gangsta what moved up from Greenville and made big time amongst the boardrooms.

As a Minuteman I profusely apologize for the anger and hatred that Black gangs are heaping on their Hispanic brothers. Not. As a correctional officer Iâ€™m aware of the Surenos and Nortenos gangs. They are being targeted by other gangs because of tensions that came to a boil in the California prisons not out of any anti-immigrant sentiment. I donâ€™t see why you would even class them as racial hate crimes; the Surenos and Nortenos fight each other more than gangs of other ethnicities. Also benm the prisons are being administered to, we have many outstanding religious volunteers at our facility, but as with anything good you have to want it.

â€œItâ€™s like watching gladiators fight to the death for the entertainment of the elite.â€

That sounds way too heroic/mythical for my taste.

Sounds to me like under-educated self-absorbed morons obsessed with macho concepts of ‘identity’ and peerage.

I’m sure there’s plenty of useful things they could build/do/learn given the right boot camp/boot over the border

I live in Los Angeles and wish I could add to the conversation. Sure, when it comes to physical altercations involving different ethnicities, the black versus Hispanic is the worst. No doubt about that.

Overall, there appears to be much balkanization with the different groups. Then, there is the same with regards to class. It appears to be the old “birds of a feather” thing.

I heard a sheriff’s spokesman say that in the incorported city of Compton (part of LA county) there are 157 gangs in a population of 100,000 or so. Why don’t we have troops there?

“Itâ€™s like watching gladiators fight to the death for the entertainment of the elite.”

Excellent analogy… That really does some it up…

I just got done on December 1st with my student teaching assignment in a majority-minority school in a large Texas city. The third grade class I was in was exclusively black and Hispanic. Even at this young age, there was name-calling that was racially tinged, and sometimes lead to attempts at shoving matches.

My father teaches high school in this district. He tells of tensions between native-born Latinos and immigrant Latinos, as well, in some of the area high schools.

Liberal Efforts to Lock Up Racist Whites Fail Miserably!

Folks, let me speak to you as a Black man who has heard what is said when people of other races are not around. Blacks pressed for states to enact so-called hate crime laws because they wanted to see racist White men locked up, period! It was not do…

Black/Latino tensions are nothing new, despite what the Los Angeles County Human Relations Commission would like to believe. I did my student teaching in a tough public school in Texas over a decade ago. The tensions between black gangs and Latino gangs was palpable even back then.

In one of her posts this week, LaShawn hammers relentlessly on some of the same social myths.
