All them gangs probably got Belizeans but he extra a little, ain't that many gotdamn Belizeans in LA to say all them hoods are majority Belizean! Lol....I lived in his side as a kid, still got an Aunt over there, that area (USC area) is basically home for me in LA. We not Belizean and neither are alota nikkas over there, but yes, Belizeans have a presence in that part of LA, they be around and everybody knows or met someone Belizean if you in that area...

Aight thanks for the info.

Never saw this thread

One thing we all have in common, is a lot of black history is no more.....

People moved to places like Palmdale and Lancaster, both are trash cities... a lot of blacks went back south, Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Georgia

Some more move to Vegas or Midwest states

Palmdale, Lancaster, Fontana, Mojave and Riolto are all out in the boonies....

Like 50+ miles out the city.

Cruised through Inglewood; Watts, and South Central a lot last week, it’s crazy that there are no majority black areas in LA County anymore.

• These are the ten neighborhoods in Los Angeles County with the largest percentage of black residents:[3]

1. View Park-Windsor Hills, California, 86.5%
2. Gramercy Park, Los Angeles, 86.4%
3. Leimert Park, Los Angeles, 79.6%
4. Baldwin Hills/Crenshaw, Los Angeles, 71.3%
5. Ladera Heights, California, 71%
6. Hyde Park, Los Angeles, 66%
7. Chesterfield Square, Los Angeles, 58.6%
8. West Rancho Dominguez, California, 57.6%
9. Westmont, California, 57.5%

San Bernardino (that’s how you spell it?) looked like a nice place when I drove through it while traveling from Vegas to LA.

The Mountain View’s are GOAT.

How long ago did you drive through it?

 

[Serious]

Back in the day some people considered Inglewood part of south central

a lot of people still do

2017 from Vegas to LA.

Now that I think of it I might have stopped at a shady looking areas on the way there in Cali but I’m not sure if I was still in San Bernardino.

Are all of these middle class or wealthy?

Which one would you consider the hood still?

It varies.....

Baldwin Hills and Ladera Heights are known middle to upper middle class areas

But everywhere else varies from block to block.

San Bernardino is grimey as fukk now. I'm not sure what happened over there, but it's not looking as good as it once was

Yea I didn’t tour the city or anything or drive through city streets. I’m just speaking on what I saw on the highway.

Gramercy for sure (90 Nayba's)

westmont too (death alley)

Sb was always known and a undercover grimy place in the 90s but it still looked good. Hate to see how it looks today.

It completely depends on where in those areas you live. Some parts of Inglewood are quiet as hell and others are hopping. South Central is a big area, shyt changes depending on where you are. There are spots (the Bottoms in Inglewood, the Jungle in South LA) where I feel uncomfortable if I ain't with someone from there I know, but there really aren't places where I'd expect to get jumped just walking around or shyt like that. We'd have about a shooting at year at our spot but every time it happened it felt like a crazy break from the norm, it wasn't like shooters were rolling around looking for trouble on the regular.




Inglewood Family is heavy in Inglewood centered around Century and Crenshaw and Crenshaw Mafia big too, otherwise most Black gangs are Crips - Hoover, Grape Street, Rollin' 40s, Rollin' 60s, Rollin' 90s, etc. Not all of them really even claim C anymore though, they're off on their own thing now and feud with other crips as much as they feud with bloods. There area still a few bloods out there like P Stones and Piru too.

There are a lot of Mexican and Central American gang bangers but I don't really know them. I got jumped by some idiot teenagers from Lennox 13 once but they don't seem very serious. It was kinda my fault anyway even though they were fools. You hear about 38th street, in prison you get Mexican Mafia but I don't know they got any presence in South LA like that. MS-13 is supposed to be around but I never saw them in the hood.




There ain't any place without Mexicans anymore - Watts and Compton are majority latino now and Inglewood feels like it's going to get that way. There are still plenty of neighborhoods that are mostly black though like around Crenshaw from the Bottoms to about Manchester, or up in Ladera Heights. A few of the schools are 70-80% Black but most of them now are at least half latino, even in Inglewood. There are a few Tongans around too mostly around the 100s/110s.




Some parts have been getting gentrified really recently. The stadium project will accelerate that a lot.




I think there was but it's still changing all the time. South LA is closer to East LA and the big hispanic areas, while Compton is closer to the South Bay (Gardena, Torrance), and Inglewood is pretty much independent out there in the middle, so their influences are different. If you pulled out black people from Compton/Watts/Inglewood in the 1970s and asked them to describe their neighborhoods, I think the culture would have been totally different than what they like today.

how many people do you see on the street in the hood daily? I know my thinking is skewed from music videos and movies but they usually depicted L.A. neighborhoods as having hundreds of people out?

Do all mexicans or central americans really have it in for black people out there even more than white folk?

a lot of black folks from LA have moved to IE / Riverside.

At that point, your QOL would be much better just moving to Texas or ATL.

I'd rather live in the middle of gang territory in South Central before some bullshyt place like San Bernardino or Rialto...

From what I've heard, the IE is gang infested anyways.
