Redlining for white people included keeping Hispanics out as well and sticking them in Black neighborhoods. Then the racist hispanics fought /killed Black Americans in Black neighborhoods and were also similar to the whites by only allowing Hispanics in as well

Hispanics do this with jobs too, will only hire other Hispanics and use “Spanish speaking preferred “ to legally pick only Hispanics. That needs to be illegal. This is America and legal citizens are supposed to know English, we shouldn’t have to know Spanish to be hired in America just like they don’t have to know English to be hired in their home country.

People keep claiming it’s only for the jobs that Americans don’t want but I’ve seen majority of the office/receptionist and even hr type jobs say Spanish speaking only or preferred and those type of jobs are necessary for Americans who don’t have degrees, for those with degrees who are underemployed and in between jobs, for the retired, for small businesses owners who need a side gig etc. it’s completely unfair and will only get worse as more illegals come from South America.

This reminds me of the black girl from Texas or Florida who was crying about not being able to get a job due to racism and not being able to speak Spanish. If the USA keeps it up, that will be all major cities. Even if you learn Spanish, Asians and Hispanics are notorious for only hiring their own. White people are less publicly racist bc even if they are racist, many try not to appear racist due to their history. Hispanics and Asians don’t care about being viewed as racist. They will hide behind the person of color label despite being white adjacent and despite Hispanics having a whole enslaved population as well. I rather deal with the racist I’m most familiar with bc I know how to work them.
Facts

Hispanics also try to fall back on the hardest working model minority

It's disgusting

Folks turning my thread into a "bash Latinos and immigrants" thread. Most of them are just living their lives and not hurting other people. They were also the first in California too. We can talk about the decline of Black people in LA without putting down other groups.

south Los def put a hurting on 112 Hoover but that's because that set was small and was beefing with NHC and DLGB. The city of L.A ran 1st ECC out of Aliso Village when they converted it into mixed use housing (those latino gangs couldn't do shyt) F13 and ECC were doing tick for tack and despite being huge in firestone and huntington park came to a peace treaty (and were nervous when Six Pack wanted to keep the beef on :russ:) I agree on everything you said though

Brehs watched Gangland and a handful of news articles and thought that black communities got ran out of places by mexicans.

Ima keep it real, it does sound appealing to live near or on a beach somewhere in the gulf or the Carolinas’ or even south Florida but I would need a raw ass job to make that move, and compared to other places Seattle, Boston, New York, San Diego, the bay, dc, and chi seems like better cities with better job prospects

Like do I really want to move somewhere where they giving out real time for weed still
Where are you from/living at, bro?
Waflos going around killing innocent black kids
And 43 hoova is non-existent
Is 43 Hoover truly non-existent? I just had a debate with my brother recently (who is 24 Garden Blocc Crip); he said "ain't no Crips in Sac besides us" and like 3 other gangs and I was telling him the hoods he say ain't around in the North still got youngins 🤣 nikka swear he know all the Crips in the city but he only around Blocc and Iraq nikkas...
The goal isn't self-segregation, it's separation.
Explain the difference to me please because I'm not understanding...

Did you think you were going to get honest discourse about this tho?

The lady that wrote this article about Black LA....wasn't even from LA, she's from Inglewood.

I just expected talk about reviving the Black community. And Inglewood may not be LA proper but it's still within Greater LA so I think she's qualified to speak on affairs of the city.
