Uh, I thought only whites could be racists?

"...lobbing terms like 'ethnic cleansing' into LA's racial landscape has proven neither accurate nor useful."

Yes. It's a bit like lobbing Orwellian newspeak terms like "progressive"--as in: "Conservative think tanks such as David Horowitz's Freedom Center then intellectualized the hysteria--as did some of their progressive counterparts."

“from people in the same socioeconomic situation”

“Marleyesque”

I think this writer is an idiot. The truth is that the environment created by the liberals is always a racist environment void of law.

Liberals would also love to do this in Iraq, Cashmire, Chechnya, france, london, the netherlands... and just about anywhere else that “white folk” seem to influence.

Liberal encourage this behavior by focusing everything on their own selfishness of behavioral-justification.... there is no bad... only feeling.

Most gangs come from disenfranchised communities, and these communities have lacked resources they need for a long time--recreation centers, parks, entertainment, an educational system, good housing, good-paying jobs.

Doesn't a community have to be stable to create a climate where businesses can make money and then employ people with good paying jobs? Once those people have good paying jobs they will pay, through taxes, for recreation centers, parks and educational systems?

Disenfranchised: deprived of the rights of citizenship especially the right to vote

If we will let Mexican citizens vote in US elections they will not be disenfranchised and will therefore raise their living standards of their own accord.

Re-read the article, especially this part:

Lost in it all is a sad but fundamental fact of life in poor Los Angeles: Most violent crimes, most murders, most attempted murders, most gang killings are intraracial. In one of the most comprehensive studies of LA homicides to date, University of California, Irvine, researcher George Tita tracked 500 killings that occurred between 1999 and 2004 in the 77th Precinct, which covers an area north of Harbor Gateway and Watts and is one of most violent precincts in the county. He found that 94 percent of African-Americans were killed by other African-Americans and 77 percent of Latinos there were killed by other Latinos. Tita says there is a recent "uptick" in racially motivated killings, "but it makes absolutely no sense to ignore all the other homicides because of these rare events."

All cultures are equal...
Diversity is our strength...
Multiculturalism brightens the quilt of our society...
Bilingual education will not lead to balkanization..
It takes a village to raise a child...

Have you folks seen enough to understand what bullshit the left has been pushing?

Well, that’s fine — now that’s it’s too late to do anything about it except watch cities, then states and then a nation implode.

The Government subsidized depravity, drug dependence, illegitimacy, abortion and tolerated gangs -— as a result, it all thrived.

Semper Fi

Mr. Quigley, this is called “Passification by force”.

Mexican citizens are NOT disenfranchised now. They can vote in Mexico, you know, the country where they are citizens? If they want to vote here they need to become citizens of the US. Let them go home if they are here illegally and straighten out their own country.

If the "latinos" in this article are already citizens OF THIS COUNTRY there is nothing stopping them from voting. Your assertions show both childishness and a lack of understanding of the political processes in this country plus a lack of understanding of the basic causes of the situations discussed in the article.

Illiteracy and dependence on the government by both the blacks and the latinos have caused most of this problem. Socialism is always followed by high crime rates by the unemployed masses.

The most underreported story in America.

Police say they had been seeking a black person to kill.

But shock jocks are a much more urgent need for the NAACP and Jesse Jackson to address.

Overall, it's the single worst failure of American journalism since Walter Duranty.

Yes, it is well past the "tipping point".

So many of my friends overseas from other countries also see it. It is easy to see it from abroad. While in the USA, one can still be steeped in denial.

America has seriously eroded, and is on the way out as all great nations at one time-unless something drastic is done to reverse course.

"a dead sea of empty lots created by the deindustrialization of South LA, which lost 70,000 jobs between the Watts and Rodney King riots, years that also saw the explosion of gangs--and gang suppression units."

Anybody else see a message there?

"The ports generate half a million jobs, but few young people in South LA can get them...his neighbors view the port as a "gated community," where "you have to know somebody to get in."

Absolutely true -
And the unions will keep it that way.

PS: "Harbor Gateway" is a long way from being 'in the shadow' of any cranes. And, it's been a focus for the Sheriff's office for decades - I've been pulled over off of Normandy for driving while other-than-hispanic.

Of course when Whites were being “Ethnically Cleansed” from the big cities there was no similiar handwringing by the Leftist Media.

One can throw only so much $hit into the well, before even the deepest well is polluted beyond usability...

Our leftists, bleeding hearts and “compassionate” conservatives have accelerated the decline by lowering standards and expectations — while constantly raising the level of tolerance toward perverts, corruption, criminals and aggression from our many enemies in the world...

Too large a segment of our population sickens one to both hear and see them in their “protests”...

It’s reaching the level where I’m beginning to believe the ONLY thing that can turn it around is a senario to horrible to contemplate...

Yet — our media is focused on a dead fat white whore, a lieing nappy headed black whore and American Idol...

The country NEEDS its ass kicked — and there are lots of folks out there willing to do it..

It must be bad when the libs bring out their most potent solution, a course on “Diversity Awareness.”

It’s a requirement to actually read and article before posting?

I’ll have to go back and undo years of work.

I lived most of my early years out there (Kali)and am vaguely aware of the fact the article pointed out. I also know from experience that the blacks and bronzes pretty much hate each other with a passion. There aren’t a lot of interacial marriages between the groups. Niether hates the whites as much as they do each other.

I think the article soft-pedals this aspect..now that I’ve read it.
