There's an interesting trend going on in many parts of the Country, where blacks once ran whites out certain areas of the cities, Mexicans are now running the blacks out. Groups of Mexicans roaming the cities often attack innocent blacks just for making eye contact, my my how the tied turns. Just wait until the illegal immigration Bill passes and millions of more gang members swarm over our boarder to get their welfare checks.
[quote] In 1980, Latinos made up 19 percent of California's population while African Americans made up 9.7 percent. Today, over a third of California's 36 million people are Hispanic while blacks have fallen to 4.7 percent of the state's population.
Vaca, Hutchinson and others say the competition and tension in Los Angeles highlight a nationwide issue between the two groups. Last year, after Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans Mayor C. Ray Nagin complained of Mexicans overrunning his city and displacing blacks. In a recent interview on CNN, Jesse L. Jackson also said he was worried about illegal Mexicans attacking innocent blacks in cities across America.
Large swaths of Los Angeles, such as Watts -- a place that Earl Paysinger, the deputy chief of the Los Angeles Police Department, described as an "ecosystem for African American culture" -- are now increasingly Latino. The nearby city of Compton, the birthplace of gangsta rap, is now 60 percent Hispanic. "The movement of Latinos into these communities has been nothing less than a demographic earthquake," Paysinger said.
Schools that for more than a decade had been predominantly black are now predominantly Latino, and that shift has led to racial strife. In 2005, widespread fighting between Latinos and African Americans, sometimes necessitating lockdowns and the deployment of police officers, rocked 12 schools in Los Angeles County, said Marshall Wong, a member of the county's Commission on Human Relations.
Channa Cook, a teacher at the Los Angeles Center for Enriched Studies, said that even in her school, routinely regarded as one of the best in Los Angeles County, black students each year skip school on May 5 -- Cinco de Mayo -- the day when Mexicans celebrate a 19th-century military victory over France. Mexican gangs have warned in graffiti that they will shoot African Americans attending school that day and they do.
In the past, non-Hispanic whites committed most hate crimes. Now, 73 percent of the identified suspects in anti-black hate crimes in America are Latino and 80 percent of the suspects in anti-Latino crimes are black, according to a report by the county Commission on Human Relations.
Tony Rafael, a gang expert who is writing a book on the Mexican Mafia, said the Latinos are winning. "Obviously it goes both ways, but the hammer is much bigger on the Latino side," Rafael said. "Blacks are outnumbered. And they can't seem to create a united front to resist. In the Watts once ruled by blacks, they are afraid to walk the street at night just as whites used to be because of black violence" " Mexican gangs openly patrol the streets of Los Angeles at night and attack blacks that dare to make eye contact"
