You're right about that. It's almost impossible to describe the transformation to anyone. Nobody in there right mind, would wish that on a U.S. city.
South Central Los Angeles used to be predominately Black populated. It, along with most of L.A. is now Hispanic. Many Blacks have been pushed out and angry, as shown by Ted Hayes with the Minute Man Project. Also being described on L.A. talk shows, by Terry Anderson, and Larry Elders. Both are Black commentators, and enjoyable to listen to. I miss Larry Elders.
Old neighborhoods are now like third world countries. I know, because I spent the better part of three years in Central and South America. Not much difference now. The report of 12 million illegal immigrants is dead wrong. More like 30M. The gangs are for another topic.
The one positive sign that can possibly come, are that more Blacks, are seeing the light, and registering Republican.
