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."
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.
