I got a ridiculous comment on this post yesterday from some racist named Jose Cuenca that implied that Latino gang violence aimed at terrorizing Black Americans was nothing to be alarmed about and further more the only solution was to sit back and let the situation play out. A final solution so to speak.
Cuenca’s main point was that the “undocumented” had it worse than the Black Americans who are being murdered, and that my simply reporting the situation was making things worse.
Not worse for innocent Black folk getting murdered by Latino gangbangers mind you, but the people who really deserve our sympathy, you know, the ones whose first act on American soil was to break our immigration laws. I’ll let his vile words speak for themselves:
As for your “medias biases,†that’s absurd. Many Latino’s in America are either undocumented, or just a few generations removed from undocumentation. As a result, they live in a state of paranoia and do all they can trying to avoid law enforcement for fear of deportation. You think being Black in America is difficult, try to imaging living with the constant fear of deportation. As a result, many crimes towards Latinos are not even reported do to this same paranoia. When that poor 14 year old Black girl was killed by 204 Street Gang Members, it received a lot of attention (as it should have, horrible incident!), but they failed to mention that it was done in retaliation for a young Latino boy who killed just a week earlier by Black Gang Members.
His minimizing of the murder of a 14 year old girl by linking it to gang violence she wasn’t involved in is absolutely disgusting, but par for the course for people like Cuecna. After all one Black kid is the same as the next in his estimation, so an innocent little girl is no more unlikely a target than a violent felon. To Cuecna a Latino gang members yarn about killing a child as “retaliation” for something or another is an acceptable explanation for the most degenerate of acts.
Is there nothing someone like Jose Cuecna can accept? Is there no act of depravity from his precious “undocumented” and their descendants that he finds unpalatable? How about this:
A 6-year-old black boy was critically wounded Tuesday when he was shot in the head by suspected Latino gang members as the victim’s family drove through the Harbor Gateway neighborhood on their way to an auto auction, Los Angeles Police Chief William J. Bratton said.
Two Latino males flashed gang signs before opening fire on the red GMC Yukon with six people inside, including a woman who is eight months pregnant, Bratton said. The rear window of the SUV was shattered by the gunfire, and one of the rounds hit the boy in the head, he said.
[…]
The shooting caps several weeks of violent incidents believed to involve gangs around Los Angeles County that have sparked both fear and anger in some neighborhoods. Earlier this week, a Los Angeles High School football player was gunned down in what authorities described as an unprovoked attack by gang members. Last week, a gang member opened fire at a bus stop in South Los Angeles, wounding eight people, including five children. Before that, a gun battle between LAPD officers and gang members outside a Glassell Park school caused much of the community to be locked down for hours.
[…]
Police said the family of the victim in Tuesday’s shooting was not from the Harbor Gateway neighborhood, which is known for racial tensions between Latino gangs and black residents. Other passengers inside the vehicle were a man and a woman and two other children, ages 3 and 1 1/2 .
There were no other reported injuries, police said.
Police cordoned off two blocks Tuesday afternoon as they launched a massive search for the two suspects, one described as between the ages of 28 and 30, heavyset, wearing a white T-shirt and black pants; the other, between ages 16 and 20, with a shaved head and possibly a mustache, wearing blue jeans and riding a racing bicycle.
Bratton did not say whether the suspects had ties to a specific gang, but he noted that the neighborhood is home to the East Side Torrance gang. “This is an area that is under the influence of a Latino gang,” Bratton said. “You may recall that about a year or so ago, the mayor and I were engaged in a major initiative up the street at 204th Street, where there had been the shooting death of a young black woman.”
Bratton was referring to the killing of 14-year-old Cheryl Green in December 2006. Two members of the 204th Street gang allegedly shot Green as she stood talking with friends.
The suspects were later caught and charged with murder, along with a special hate crime allegation. They are still awaiting trial.
A carload of mostly women and children was fired on by two men, one of whom is at least 30 years old and so we assume not naive enough to think an SUV with a pregnant woman and a bunch of kids is a legitimate gang affiliated target.
There were no other injuries. Almost as if the two men aimed for the kid. And this follows several unprovoked attacks in an area controled by a gang that has members already being charged with hate crimes.
But according to Jose Cuecna it takes two to tango and Blacks are responsible for their being targeted:
Hmmmm. So you feel this problem is attributed just to the influx of Latin American Culture being forced into historically African-American Communities? Interesting and naive. I agree it’s a clash of cultures but to suggest it’s one sided is moronic! It takes two opposing sides to create a clash.
Hopefully this problem will fade out with a limited amount of death and violence. I won’t pretend that I know how to fix it, I though I wish I could. If you have any desire to fix it, please stop covering it! This type of journalism is just fuel to the fire.
In other words Jose wants to claim Blacks are equally responsible for these attacks despite the lack of evidence to the contrary, and there’s nothing else to see here so I should just move along. Move along and wait until it’s some member of my family that’s being murdered, or I’m sure Jose is hoping that it’s me laying dead somewhere.
Disgusting.
Update: Police have made an arrest. L.A. Times has exclusive video of the savage arrested for shooting a 6 year old boy.
Wow! Speechless at the gross assumptions!!! Never did I justify her murder, I said more than once it was a horrible ordeal……and that has absolutely nothing to do with race….it has to do with life…or the loss of it in this case….and you know this Rob….’disgusting’ is twisting ideas in such a horrible fashion just get a point across and hopefully arouse some firey emotions. I thought your were a horrible journalist; perhaps your just a horrible person!
As for me wanting you dead……Wow! Quite the opposite. You’ve made it obvious that your somewhat brain-dead….I want to give you brain-to-brain resuscitation so you can awaken and experieince the beautiful rapture of being alive…and hopefully spread this message to your journalistic laity. It’s impossible to value another’s life, if hardly value your own.
I’m racist? Towards who? My father is Cuban and my mom is Haitian? If I offended any Canadians I apologize! Fact is, I’m probably more unbias than anyone on this board. I probably want to see a solution more than anyone on this board…I got people dying on both sides if you want to be technical! And you are not part of the solution, your part of the problem. You can not combat hate with hate and ignorance with ignorance. If so, everone loses, I think I said that in my last blog before your twisted it for the sake of journalistic entertainment.
I know Cornell West said you have to be angry….but he was referring to the situation, not a people…….that’s exactly what started this, and most of the world’s turmoil!
Good Luck and enjoy life Rob.
Mucho Saludos!!!
P.S. Don’t quit your day job!!!
O.K. hippie, you tell me the “solution” because in your last comment you implied that the solution was to sit back and let Black folk die at the hands of people the government should have stopped from coming here.
You’re blaming Black people for being the target of what even the ultra liberal Southern Povert Law Center terms ethnic cleansing. This sort of moral equivilance between the perpetrators of violence and the victims is indeed disgusting and your petty insults prove you know this to be the case.
If Black gangs were in the process of pushing ALL latinos out of an area I assume you’d sing a different tune.
Now on another note: Are you retarded? “Rapture of living?” Really?
Between puff on that dobbie you’re smoking why don’t you explain to me how being concerned that my Black family members, and myself, are going to die in a hail of bullets by what is in essence a Latino Klan proves that I don’t value my life. If I didn’t value my life or any other why would I care about this story at all?
This is the typically shallow thinking of a doctrinaire leftist who believes self defense or a desire for law and order is “fascism” and whose only interest in ensuring that opinions and views counter to their own are delegitimized. You are the one who doesn’t care about life, not the Black children killed in the past and certainly not the ones who will die in the future. You and those who share your distaste for the truth, and Black empowerment, are facilitating the genocide of African-Americans.
Personally, I think you’re a White kid pretending to be Jose whoever, and you can’t be Haitian because you’d know telling a Black person that being Haitian and being a Black American are the smae is not a strong move. Sort of like if I said being Cuban and Puerto-Rican were the same.
That aside being Cuban/Haitian doesn’ mean you can’t be a bigot, or express the very racist notion that America should just sit around and watch Blacks get driven out of L.A. because you assume the Blacks have it coming. Your “it takes two to tango” nonsense IS racism at its most basic level because it assumes that Blacks are unlikely to be innocent bystanders, it implies that you can’t imagine that these latino gang members would be persecuting Blacks without cause.
You don’t comabt hate with hate? O.K. but you combat ethnic cleansing with self defense and law enforcement, which is what I’m preaching here. You’re preaching allowing crime to happen, which in my mind seems pretty hateful.

well well well, I guess thoes youtube videos about la raza, mecha, aztlan are finally getitng people to wake up..
The only thing we need to do is close our borders and kick all illegals out of the country.. businesses will have to pay American wages.. and if they don’t…. go to mehico and run your business because eventually the mehicans will want a fair wage.. Its inevitable.. But we must remember if the mehicans in America do not want to pledge their allegiance to the U.S. since they are here illegally anyway getting handouts left and right, they are enemy combatants and should be treated as terrorists.. Every gangbanger on the street is a terrorist and should be dealt with by firing squad period.. If this country doesn’t do it we Americans will have to.. We kicked mehico’s ass once and we can easily do it again but this time for 10,000 years with enough fallout to put ms13 in the cancer wing for eternity.. go back home illegal mehicans, you won’t like nuclear fallout, we’ve done it before and we’re not messing around anymore.. If it keeps up and the narcos take over mehican government we will nuke your asses if it comes down to military confrontation.. so have a nice day!!!!
i’m reading all that is going on in diferent parts of L.A’s county about hispanic gangs targeting blacks. what about black gangs, targeting hispanics, where i lived we can even go outside or walk around the block because we either get beat up or they start calling us all kinds of racial slurs. i guess the police consider us ( mexicans ) more racist than black ? they should see all the reports that are in the police stations to see who is really the victim in this situation .. all i see in the internet is hispanic targeting blacks, i have never seen or read better saying, blacks targeting mexicans ..
You make a good point, and as a bi-racial man growing up in an all Black area it’s not easy. I’ve been shot at, jumped etc. But many of the cases I point out are of law abiding Blacks targeted by people who should have never been here in the first place and who are driven by imported racism. The fact that you’re having a hard time doesn’t excuse the ethnic cleansing of Black Americans.
I’m happy to offer you a chance to send in an email about how it is in your area.
bring in more blacks in this area we are running out of blacks to shoot. blacks on blacks, mexicans on blacks, Arabs on blacks.
What is going on in Los Angeles is not a clash of cultures, it is racism pure and simple. Latinos having been talking about “the coming storm” for the past 40 years that I am aware of. The coming storm being a Latino on Black race war that latinos ADMIT they are instigating, something that came to a head in 1995 when The Mexican Mafia lost an altercation to The Black Guerilla Family. The Mexican Mafia responded by authorizing local latino gangs to irradicate blacks from anywhere latinos exist. They call it an “ethnic cleansing” program. Murder, rape, arson, whatever it takes to move blacks out of Los Angeles.
