"brown on black" fuck this bullshit

[thatguy]

You know...that's a racist-ass comment, poster, if you want to get into race.

That'd be like me singling you out and saying FUCK THAT _____. < Fill in the blank.

I get what you mean...but don't group everyone into the bunch.

when 99% of people in a group fall into a category, its safe to say.

don't believe the hype..

"LAPD is not on the brink," of a major inter-racial crime wave, three University of California Irvine scholars have concluded after examining assault, robbery and homicide data in the city's southern police precincts.

The researchers said that, although some cross-racial crimes involving blacks and Latinos have been "sensationalized," the numbers suggest that offenders preying on people of their own race is a much bigger problem, and should remain the focus of police attention.

"It sort of goes against the more spectacular stories that have been dramatized in the media," one of the researchers, UC Irvine assistant professor John R. Hipp, said of the study's findings. "It's far more common to see [violence] going on between groups. We don't see any real trend here."

The study by Hipp and fellow UC Irvine criminologists George E. Tita and Lindsay N. Boggess compared aggravated assault, robbery and homicide cases between 2000 and 2006 in the four precincts of LAPD's South Bureau against 2000 Census data. It found that black offenders were nearly eight times more likely to kill another black person as to kill a Latino, and Latino offenders were nearly twice as likely to kill another Latino as a black person.

A similar situation existed with robberies and assaults, the study found: Black offenders were six times more likely to assault those of their own race than Latinos. Given the opportunity, they were about equally likely to rob from each group. Latino offenders were almost twice as likely to assault fellow Latinos--and almost three times more likely to rob them--than to assault or rob blacks.

The report was presented to LAPD officials, and another draft is being prepared for publication.

The researchers made their calculations, in essence, by predicting crime rates based on the size of South Bureau's black and Latino populations. They also looked at the degree to which the two groups are mixed, and, thus, their opportunity to commit crimes against each other. Then they looked at how much actual crimes exceeded or fell short of their predictions.

They did find what Hipp called "a blip" in one area: African Americans increased their tendency to kill Latinos in 2005, while Latinos increased their tendency to kill blacks in 2006.

But the total numbers of killings involved were relatively small. And since there were no similar trends in assaults or robberies, researchers were not sure what, if anything, the blips mean.

Overall, black/Latino violence is dwarfed by black-on-black and Latino-on-Latino crime, the researchers said.

The findings are important, said Tita, because "there are costs associated with painting any place as being on the verge of a race war. Would you want to move to an area where you are told by the media if browns go there, they will be attacked by blacks, or blacks will be attacked by browns? Do you want to invest in such a community? It is important to demonstrate that we are not this city on the verge of a race war."

Law enforcement priorities should not be driven by sensational stories, he added. "You don't want to ignore the vast majority of your crime and run to the margins, and deal with less common types of crime," he said.

Is that accurate, or does that percentage just make your feel warm and fuzzy?

How do the black gangbangers in So. Cal. feel about Mexicans? Are they standing around in confusion, because the nice essays aren't thier friends anymore?

No. It goes both ways. I think the black on brown, brown on black hate/violence/etc. is stupid, period. The sides should (hopefully) be able to coexist vs. the common enemy, and no, that doesn't automaticly mean the ''white man''...

Man, I've seen this shit get crazy first hand...around Long Beach, there was a time where cats from some of the Mexican gangs were hiding in the bushes by the freeway offramps and picking off black people in their cars...the problems between the blacks and mexicans down here has more to do with the integration of the neighborhoods more than anything.

Jesus Christ.
I tend to stay away from Mexicans unless they're working in a restaurant or in a class I was in. I'm not into getting cut up with a machete/stabbed.

 

[BIGCHILL]

this shit is fucked up....

the cold part about it is,these northern fools be readin the shit these southern fools be sayin about dressing and "acting black" and some northern fools that bring that same bullshit to the East co co board and start preaching that bullshit too like they want up north to be like down south is with that racist shit.

 

[Lamberto Quintero]

Brown vs Black crimes are sad as fuck, but the tension is played with by cops, the media, and everyone else just to keep the violence going. People need to wake up and see the big picture...

The main problem is the poverty in LA and the fact that a lot of Mexicans keep showing up ready to work. Blacks like to blame their poverty on Mexicans (as shown by the media) which leads to animosity towards them. And Mexicans, whether it be by tradition or who have been schooled in prison, are already racist towards darker skinned people. Police and everyone else lock people up all day but don't care about finding a solution to this mess because it doesn't benefit them...

[Ghost Dance]

Its easy for everbody on here to say the shit dumb, but u aint had none of ur folks are famz killed over the shit. Now with that said its more than ignorant to kill someone over thier race or skin color but its also easy to get caught up in the bullshit. If some smoked ur loved one cuz of thier race most likely u would do the same thing back.U feel me...ignorance breeds ignorance.

[HiLsyde707Kloun]

ya, 4real. We don't need this shit seperating us, as Black and Brown people. We really do need to stick together. We are so similar as far as how we've been discriminated against, enslaved, are innovators, etc. and so on 4ever. I honestly think that I have more close Mexican/Latino friends than Black friends, so this whole race war thing is bullshit and needs to end. We really have to come together, but Black people can't even come together, so it'd be hard. Peace 2 all the Black and Brown soldiers out there.
