  • Dudes, chill, arguing on the internet is like running in the paralympics... Even if you win you're still retarded.

  • On May 31, 1943, a group of white sailors on leave clashed with a group of young Latinos in the downtown area. One sailor, Joe Dacy Coleman, was stabbed in the melee. The violence escalated as around 200 sailors and Marines hired a fleet of cabs and drove into East Los Angeles to continue the clash with Mexican-American youths, specifically targeting young men dressed in Zoot Suits and calling themselves pachucos. Newspapers, placed the blame entirely on the pachucos.

  • @zeke2throwed What planet are you from. We made this country.

  • whats the song and band you used?

  • i love the godfather but mexicans and italians, it doesnt matter. the mobs all start off as street gangs. mobs are just older street thugs.

    whats a mob without little street thugs to do their bidding?

  • pachucos stand up!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @controversyking No one said Hispanics were innocent back then. Hispanics have never in history tolerated shit from anyone. Even today no one would have the balls to say shit to a Mexican besides the internet. The Hispanics were just outnumbered during the zoot suit riots. if there would have been as many Hispanics in California as there is now then the sailors would've been fucked

  • The white soldiers started this shit first. They was just look around to screw around with girls nothing more.

  • @locolalo1364 Okay, that went a little too far. I think he was just kidding.

  • @Shawnlaws72 No problem. Thanks for letting us, along with the blacks and jews systematically destroy the U.S.A. umad?

  • lol silly people. Mexicans don't matter, thanks for the land and cheap labor.
