East Oakland yall. smh

Ahh OK, I see it is just about population. I was curious to see if demographic and geographic stats were the bread and butter of your stance or if you were going to delve into history, culture and influence. I had an interest in the latter if it would bring a compelling exchange, with you providing your perspective on those items through SoCal eyes.

Its all perception and opinion anyway. Agreeing upon an arbitrary black capital is just a past time, it has no real merit. Which is why I said and will say again, I won't debate it. Seems there is a chance you may be passionate enough to forget that part.

I did touch on history, culture, and influence, to which point I've said before and in my response, nobody can name where Black Oakland is stronger than Black LA in either instance...

You say "debate" like it's a bad word, its conversation with different opinions. At any rate, you may not like the black and white statistical argument, but at least it provides a base that can't be refuted, it's not an opinion. If I talk about anecdotal experience, as a Sacramento native whose lived in LA and been to Oakland, you understand that experiences vary and are subjective and wildly open to interpretation...

My thought was to be objective, to which again I say Oakland can't win a numbers argument in any format besides the contextless surface point, and Oakland can't win an argument on how it impacts black history, culture, and influence more than LA (not that Oakland isn't respectable in it's own right)...

You can call it a debate and use it pejoratively if you want, fam. I'm a Black Californian and passionate about the direction of Black California, past present and future. Alot of misinformation about Black California floats around on open forums like this, I just seek to bring truth, even if a lot of Black Californians don't care...

I think Lena’s is in East Oakland, I liked the food. I like that about Cali, the hoods aren’t obvious and don’t look as run-down like NE hoods, I was only there for 30 mins though.

" Dreams of living life like rappers do (like rappers do, like rappers do)
Bump that new E-40 at the school (way at the school, way at the school)
You know big ballin' with my homies (my homies)
Earl Stevens had us thinking rational (Thinking rational, that's rational)
Back to reality we poor, ya bish (ya bish, ya bish)
Another casualty at war, ya bish (ya bish, ya bish)
Two bullets in my uncle Tony head (my Tony head, my Tony head)
He said one day I'd be on tour, ya bish (ya bish, ya bish).. "

To stop the side show, officer, just think
Maybe you should come and hit the spot with a tank .. "

I swear, everytime I see a news report about "out of control side shows" I think of that line.

Then I go have an urge to listen to the song again.

I will say that E-40 and Bay Area culture was huge down in LA during the early 2000s

People was always bragging about knowing somebody from the bay
