RACISM BY ANOTHER FACE

Growing up in Los Angeles you have friends of other races depending on where you reside.

 

 

For myself I stayed in South Central Los Angeles. I attended Loren Miller Elementary this school had books made for each kid called "I Like Me." In this book my best friends were Fernando and Jesse both were so called "Mexican American" I would be lying if I said I remembered them.

​

​

​

By now your probably like where am I going with this well I wanted to talk about RACISM. RACISM is prejudice plus power, not calling human beings who don't share your pigment or features names. Meaning you have to be able to practice your prejudices against the people you hold them against.

​

​

​

In South Central my first run in's with RACISM came from so called Hispanics/Latinos the same kids I was close to younger in my life were now my cultural racial enemies. Well at least the adults at that time, who or what you might be asking am I talking and pointing the finger at well let me explain.

​

​

1. Politics/Media

 

If you pay attention to the news and media you will notice Blacks on air always mention Blacks and Latino's while the latter only brings up themselves Latino's/Hispanics. This is on purpose they have no incentive nor a reason to fight for us which they don't. Our ancestors were programmed into fighting for everyone including them during the Civil Rights Movement. This is RACISM.

​

​

2. Housing 

​

South Central is somewhat segregated but for the most part we are amalgamated in this space we call a city. If you pay attention to apartments owned or managed by Blacks/Melanated/Afrikan people fore the most part you will see Blacks and Latinos/Hispanics in the same buildings. You'll see Blacks rent to Latinos everywhere houses, duplexes and apartments. If you flip this you'll see Hispanics outright discriminate and not rent or sale to Blacks period apartments or houses owned and managed by Hispanics usually are filled with Hispanics.

​

My Hispanic partna J (don't want to use his whole name without his permission) along with yours truly did a test when I was looking for an apartment. We visited and called "for rent" apartments owned/ managed by Blacks and Latinos. The ones owned/managed by Blacks where there was an ad or a for rent sign outside let me and J come see the apartment or told us that they were available. On the flip so many of the Hispanics told me on the phone and in person that there were no more vacancies then turned around and told my friend that there was vacancies with a couple of exceptions. With those exceptions all of them rejected me. This is RACISM.

 

 

3. Education

 

This was the first time I witnessed RACISM that i can remember. This was 2005 my first year (2nd semester) of High School at Fremont High in South Central. This school was majorly Hispanic/Latino staff and students. The air reeked of a high racial climate. The first instance was the Hispanic students never letting us live down that they were claiming this school as a Hispanic school, that was smack dabbed in the middle of a Black gang territory but filled with mostly Mexican residents. There were race fights (one on one) as well as RACE RIOTS. We had a huge race riot that occurred because a Mexican gang wanted to fight a Black young boy who was from their enemy city they wanted to pack him out which we were not about to let happen. With us not allowing them to jump the young black male student they swung and we destroyed, estimates were 200 Black students participated and 1,000 Hispanic/Latino students it did make the news.

 

This is where the RACISM came in of the 200 Black students 50+ were kicked out thats at least 25%. Some of these people were my friends but all were my brothers and sisters of the Black/Melan./Afrikan Race. out of that fucking 1,000 they kicked out 5 fucking Hispanics who were Florencia 13 gang members who the school didn't want anyway. The LAPD was also called in and were fucking up the Blacks left and right This is RACISM.

 

Im not even done yet in another small RACE RIOT caused by the Hispanic students yelling out (FUCK NIGGERS) I was caught fighting. They thought they had another Black student kicked out (me) but because it was proven that the Hispanic/Latinos were trying to start a race riot I was saved. Check this out one of the Hispanic Deans told me in front of my mother why did i want to attend this school "its only 9% Black" my mom instantly looked at him and this Black woman who doesn't curse in front of people she doesn't know said with the quickness "WTF does that have to do with this issue." This was an administrator so you see how high the RACISM went.

 

Last but not least regarding education I went there in 2005-2006 my lil brother just graduated from the same school in 2016. From the years I attended or visited this school 2005-2010 and the 2016 year. The graduating Blacks then and during my little brothers graduation have always been able to be counted on your fingers and toes that is despicable no matter if the Blacks are only 9% of 5000. This is a product of institutional RACISM from the Hispanics/Latinos on a lower level and from whites on a grand scale.

 

4. Jobs

 

If this comes as a surprise to you, you live under a rock somewhere on Mars. Its a saying here "if a Mexican becomes manager say goodbye to Black Employment" most jobs even make it a stipulation to be bilingual (they want Spanish speakers) in America a Nation which was created (stolen from Natives not Hispanics/Latinos) by white Englishmen. Now unlike our dumb asses every other race knows to hirer there own people but due to slavery and losing our identity we hirer who's right for the jobs no discrimination when we are managers. Which is right morally but very wrong when it comes to economically surviving, every RACE knows this but us. We know its from mis-education and Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome but we have to fix this. Because Hispanics here in my city don't care about any of that and arent hiring us fairly. This is RACISM.

​

5. The Gangs

​

Mexican Gangs have terrorized Black residents that are not gang affiliated for being nothing other then being Black for decades. Its also being done to get us out we can call this hood gentrification (ethnic cleansing/racial terrorism). Im not saying my people don't beat the fuck out of these lessor hands having people but its usually an ignorant fuck thats trying to rob one of them not saying that thats right its not, but you don't have Black gangs trying to get Mexicans out. To the contrary most of my people are oblivious to what the Hispanics are doing on all fronts. You can find evidence of the Racial terrorism here, here, and here. I can find more and I know more from my experience here in this hell whole but I wont I'm done.

 

 

People will probably think what made me type this article well I was recently watching The Tariq Elite Radio Ustream Show 7pm Sundays on the Ustream App and Tariq played a video of a RACIST Hispanic/Latino and I wanted to point out a few things, I wanted to point out RACISM BY ANOTHER FACE.
