Racial ‘Cleansing’ in L.A.

Terrorism at home should have always been a priority. Enemies at home and abroad the President has sworn to protect us against. Why is it gangs are allowed to rule neighborhoods in America? Black, White, or Latino gangs should not have a strangle hold on communities. This great evil is destroying young men and the lives of innocent people. The fact is America has little regard for poor people.

waccamazza, I pray for our [white] people like you, that are so full of hatred and evil. It's awful that children are taught and raised to be exact replicas of their racist parents. And, be careful, your hard on is showing!!!!!!!

then how come whitemen always want them?

this is a sad sad world that we live in and soon it shall come to an end....racism is alive and kicking. we as a people need to learn to respect one another. neither race is pure, special nor better than the other. the gang *** is stupid on both parts you fighting for turf that you don't own..what sense does that make...get a book and *** read it..BLACK BUSINESS IS POWER!!! DON'T BE AFRAID!!!

this sad sad world should and must come to an end...i am tired of the bullshit that goes on daily..racism still exist thats just a known fact and there is nothing that we can do to make it right in you people eyes..i live for me and my children i don't give a *** about the other RACES because they don't give a *** about my race..i have my own successful business that i run with my sister, which whom is black...BLACK BUSINESS IS A VIRTUE!!!

As far as I care they can all kill each other.I used to care about things like that,but these people are self desrtuctive and it's time decent people stopped wasting their time,energy and money messing with those who obviously don't care if they die today.If they don't care,why the heck does anyone else give a flip.Good riddance to both races of trash.

Well,I hate them all,let them kill each other.What can anyone do to stop them anyway.I used to care about things like that,but it's pointless when you're dealing with pure scum.

you wanna know what else i think, i think your full blooded mexican and you found this article disturbing because its talking about latinos . . .. no one should ignore whats going on there shouldnt be any crime at all

women are raped by whom? mexicans are some lazy ass people wtf are you talking about? blacks need to get over it? maybe some whites don't give a dam about mexicans either. . . . they are targetting black people in california, i have seen plenty of times how ice, immigration deported alot of mexican gang members, i guess there turn is next, or if they keep on with the crime- because of a alot illegal aliens , mexicans who come here do a lot of raping in america , they'll wined up in prison like in that movie blood in blood out or american me and booty bust each other

memphrica i'm glad i'm not a stick ass mexican like you , your framily are probably wetbacks who came through the water to get here, slavery still exist whta about your mexican people who cherry pick for a quater $0.25 a hour louisiana the city of new orleans looks way better than mexico. africans have to get over it? all africans don't reside in california anyway

And Teka baby as far as criminal predatation the blacks in this city can't wait for the Mexicans to get paid. "They workfor it, I spend it" was a line I heard. Make the scene of a home invasion where everyone is robbed and the women are raped - and you will understand why the Mexicans are killing blacks.

Teka10 blacks need to get over it. The whites are sick of the guilt thrown at them and the Mexicans just plain don't care that someone 300 years ago had the good fortune to be taken to America. Slavery still exists in Africa and just take a look at Liberia if you want to see what a black ruled country is like. Or South Africa. Or Zimbabwee. Or Memphis. Or New Orleans.

Thank God you are in this country and stop saying you are "Africa". I am a *** wop mick (Mexican Italian and Irish Catholic) but I just consider myself American. I am glad my ancestors came here and were I came from is a lot nicer than most of Africa.

A law professor at Rutgers wrote an article in the LA Times in Jan. of 2007. It was in response to the indictments handed down in 2006 on another Hispanic gang for targeting and killing black citizens. It is a scholarly article and explains much. The article is "Roots of Latino/Black Anger: Ethnic Cleansing in Los Angeles by T. Hernandez. Pub Jan. 2007. LA Times.
A sample..."Over the years, there's also been a tendency on the part of observers to blame the conflict more on African Americans (who are often portrayed as the aggressors) than on Latinos. But although it's certainly true that there's plenty of blame to go around, it's important not to ignore the effect of Latino culture and history in fueling the rift.

The fact is that racism ??? and anti-black racism in particular ??? is a pervasive and historically entrenched reality of life in Latin America and the Caribbean. More than 90% of the approximately 10 million enslaved Africans brought to the Americas were taken to Latin America and the Caribbean (by the French, Spanish and British, primarily), whereas only 4.6% were brought to the United States. By 1793, colonial Mexico had a population of 370,000 Africans (and descendants of Africans) ??? the largest concentration in all of Spanish America.

The legacy of the slave period in Latin America and the Caribbean is similar to that in the United States: Having lighter skin and European features increases the chances of socioeconomic opportunity, while having darker skin and African features severely limits social mobility.

White supremacy is deeply ingrained in Latin America and continues into the present. In Mexico, for instance, citizens of African descent (who are estimated to make up 1% of the population) report that they regularly experience racial harassment at the hands of local and state police, according to recent studies by Antonieta Gimeno, then of Mount Holyoke College, and Sagrario Cruz-Carretero of the University of Veracruz.

Mexican public discourse reflects the hostility toward blackness; consider such common phrases as "getting black" to denote getting angry, and "a supper of blacks" to describe a riotous gathering of people. Similarly, the word "black" is often used to mean "ugly." It is not surprising that Mexicans who have been surveyed indicate a disinclination to marry darker-skinned partners, as reported in a 2001 study by Bobby Vaughn, an anthropology professor at Notre Dame de Namur University."

This should be discussed. Instead it is being ignored by every major news outlet in the USA. It is as if Black American Citizens deserve to be targeted and killed. So which group could be next? Could Hispanics themselves be targeted if we let this evil pass unchecked and unpunished?
