There has been a lot of discussion about the conflict between Blacks & Hispanics in Los Angeles for some years and some have suggested that there is an ethnic cleansing or racial war taking place in Los Angeles. Evidence on crime between the two groups does not reflect that, and killings defined as "racial" are isolated and far and few in between.

Most conflict that people perceive as "racial" are rooted in gang conflict and can be traced back to California prison politics, but that has not had a significant impact on Los Angeles crime and many mixed neighborhoods never experience any conflict along racial/ethnic lines.

The last murder in Los Angeles that can be defined as racial occurred in December 2006 when Fajardo from the 204th Street gang murdered Cheryl Green, 14, a young girl with no gang ties.

  • Black & brown tensions aren't even that bad out here in la to be honest. Its the media that be hypin the shit up. The only mexican hoods that really be on racist tip and pushin NK is where theres low black population like in east la. But other than that them mexicans cant be on to much of that racial shit in South Central,compton etc. theres to many black sets and they would be wiped out quick. Like media steady talkin bout f13 bein racist but they kic it with swans and pueblos nd their bloods..

  • @Indiansuck7861 sorry but im black an i rather say fucc a race war lets kill them crooked cops..

  • @Indiansuck7861 but why?

  • Fuckin stupid jiggabos

  • In LA there seems to always be a beef with Mexicans & Blacks but in Northern California Blacks & Mexicans are cool. Nobody is gonna shoot you just because you are Mexican or Black. We share neighborhoods just like these guys are saying. Only way a Mexican or Black person would have issues is if someone did something out of line. Really NO blacks and Mexicans should have any beef at all. Our backgrounds and struggle are so similar. PEACE & LOVE to EVERYONE.

  • It's time for Blacks/Asians to stand up & fight against these racist KKK Mexicans. Us Asians are ready to support the Blacks. Fuck white ppl & latinos. Blacks/Asians let's unite and kill these scumbags!

  • I was expecting something else but I'm glad I heard what I heard

  • thasss west up!!

    

  • @WhiteIsRight85 Just realized. I meant that I am not black. I am white. I am a white guy that doesn't buy into the whole idea of blacks being inferior and inherently violent. My understanding of history along with my advanced degrees tell me otherwise.

  • @WhiteIsRight85 Well, first off I am not white. And historically more whites have committed more acts of violence (actually against themselves) then blacks ever could. Remember the English Civil War, French Civil War, American Civil War, War of 1812, American Revolution, World War 1, World War 2, French revolutinary wars, french relgious wars, Napoleonic wars....my hands are getting tired and well hopefully you should have the idea by now...it seems to me that whites are inherently violent..
