What percentage of the population is black in LA so we can be accurate?
9%?
Why WOULDN'T IT BE?
Fair enough just saying.
A lot do, but not enough to make a huge difference



How are Hispanics graduating in comparison to whites?

I hear their graduation rate got better after affirmative action ended in California




MS-13 is a comprised of almost entirely illegal immigrants from El Salvador and Honduras, they're not representative of the Latino population as a whole.
Whites are still graduating at higher rates and more overall.

Man, I hate that they've tried to label nikkas as lazy. I grew up in a middle/working class neighborhood and every fukking body worked hard as fukk. Every damn day. Both parents. Wasn't no stay at home moms in my hood. Everyone old enough had job working long hours. Don't let them call us lazy. fukk outta here with that shyt:camby:
Trust i think and know it's bs as well. The truth is in a lot of white collar jobs, most people are work equivalent to an hour or two day. Most people spend the rest of the time fukking around. Meanwhile blue collar and working class jobs, are constantly physically demanding and sometimes have someone watching over you.

We are trying.
We have different groups smashed into one group trying to do the damn thing after even TODAY'S fukkery and you have the nerve to make a dumb ass thread like this.
You just met mexicans? You a new york nikka or some shyt?
Look at them in cities where they comprise the majority.
You'll change your mind instead of boosting people who weren't here shooting in the gym, but damn sure took advantage of legislation WE got changed.
We did everything these groups did x 1000 in harder conditions, got it taken multiple times, smashed on, flooded with dope (from them) and we are still here. fukkouttahea nikka.
Why did black people lobby for that? Pan Africanism? Black and brown?
That shyt aint real, they here to compete and they need to come correct by giving up 10% of those remittances.
Chill breh.

1. I didn’t make the thread

2. I’ve spent years in cities where Mexicans comprise a majority / significant minority (Live in LA for example)

3. I’ve been friends with them, dated them, etc. I’ve seen how they move for better and worse. I could make a thread about the fukked up parts of Mexican culture, narco culture, banda, teen pregnancies, machismo, etc. Don’t jump to conclusions

4. I’m not saying we haven’t tried these same things, I’m saying we tried them 100 years too early, but that doesn’t mean we stop trying TODAY. You either try or you roll over and die

I’ve gotten into heated discussions with Mexican immigrants (and African immigrants, actually) about this because THEY don’t know the history and that’s what’s concerning as they grow in pop. I’ve ended a friendship over literally exactly what you’re saying

At least white people know what they did to some degree (even if they deny it). Mexicans and others straight up don’t know which is problematic for reasons that deserve a separate thread

All of this is good discussion breh but keep it rational.

I’ll ask you again, what’s your solution. What do you think should be done?

Most look white. Now I'd rather talk about indians cuz their rise is more impressive cuz they can't pass as white.

breh. I've been telling people to just look at George Zimmerman and the Sandra Bland arresting officer

white-hispanic americans, this is a THING! no conspiracy!

Racism's effectiveness usually requires racists, and acceptance of racism.

Racism can be countered.

For example, in my city, the predominantly black schools were always shytty as fukk - but there were students that excelled. I've become cool with the Valedictorian of my graduation class, and the class graduating class before mine, and they both felt, they weren't super-smart, but they simply refused to not get good grades.

Will.

Unless we want to throw in the towel, and say white racism is too powerful to combat, then we're basically saying there is something that can be done. If something can be done, then instead of worrying about what white people did, and worrying about what we haven't done, we need to focus on what we need to do and actually fukking do it.

Within my family, there are a no. of people that range from well off to rich, and every single one of us started off in poor, uneducated families. No athletes or entertainers in my family. The will in my family to succeed can be duplicated. I'm sure there are other black folks on this forum with family members that are doing well to very well, to even extremely well. Are those family members not living within the SAME system of white supremacy? Ok. So, why are they excelling?

Outside of racism, the problem is two-field. We need MORE black people going for the gold. I reject the notion that black people won't work. While I certainly know lazy as fukk black folks - have a few in my family - most will do SOMETHING. That being said, why not more engineers, doctors, etc., etc? Higher paying gigs allows the community to do more for the community. At my mother's church, it is black, but the church has A LOT of middle to upper class blacks. They pool funds together to assist the families in that church who have needs, and it is just a great situation, and an example of what can be done when we are determined to operate as a community.

Well, we need to set the bar higher, AND develop some semblance of a legitimate community. We'll come together for church, and other cultural events, but we're very hesitant to form a tight-knit community. THAT would combat a lot of racism, too.

I know some of you will dismiss what I'm saying because my name is 'SuperPawgHunter', but don't assume. I'm not marrying a white woman, and never will. It ain't in me. I do like to be with different women, and those women are white. None of that prevents me from giving back from the black community. It just looks a certain way. Whatever with that, though.

Divide and conquer strategy by racist white folks....

Racist white republicans have been using this tactic for years to grab and keep power. It’s the very reason Trump is currently the president and the republicans have all the power in the country, which has allowed them to put racist Supreme Court and federal judges in place around the country that will have a negative effect on blacks for decades to come.

These articles and message board threads will be popping up more frequently because we’re getting close to the November elections.

The goal is to make black people vote republican or don’t vote at all. Hopefully my people aren’t dumb enough to fall for it again like they did two years ago.

That's a huge disparity.

Does it reflect the overall population of state?

But you also stated in an other post , their problem isn't going to college. Its finshing.
There are a lot more hispanics than blacks in California.
They're even outstripping whites in some areas, population wise.
We'd need to see the stats in an even state with equal numbers.

That's the thing, we can't! That's not our experience. There has been a strategic and willful destruction put in place by powers beyond our control since the day we were so-called free. We will never be able to benefit from the "opportunities" here, because they were not designed for us and still aren't welcoming or foster any room for growth. I just heard a story on NPR today where the USDA purposefully took down a black own farmed. Starting by refusing help to fill out the application, lying about the condition of the couples credit, with holding payment of operating funds, etc. Until eventually the sheriff evicted them from their home of 20 years AND took their 3 dogs that they owned a puppies, even though they were pets. It was sad. If anything African Americans need to migrate to other countries for education and "culture". That's the only way we could adopt the mindset of an immigrant, is to actually be one and be around others.
Underrated post. This needs it's own thread and actual consideration among AA people. It feels like our best idea of how to get ahead in this country is to assimilate rather than cultivate strength among ourselves. :snoop: Whereas immigration incentivizes people from the same country to come together and work together in their new country.

:ohhh: this is crazy, this is EXACTLY what my pops would say, I mean verbatim.

So i'll ask you what i'd ask him - so we all run out and vote democrat, all republicans are gone, no power - this will save black america? All will be well?

or will it at least have us moving in the "right direction" like we've been doing since the 1960's :jbhmm:

and before you ask, I'm a nationalist and have promoted that we need to bring back the peoples party for years - not dem or repub:
