Commentary: ‘People of Color’ are All One? Latino Inmates in L.A. Don’t Think So
Date: Wednesday, February 15, 2006 By: Gregory Kane, BlackAmericaWeb.com
Black Americans are engaged in a race war, but it’s not the one you think it is.
And you can bet our traditional "misleaders" -- the Revs. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, the Congressional Black Caucus and Julian Bond and Bruce Gordon of the NAACP -- won’t ever talk about this race war.
If you’ve been reading certain news reports for the past two weeks, you’ll know this particular race war is going on in California. And it involves, in the words of Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca, “daily ‘brown on black’ violence,” according to a recent article in The Washington Post.
Yes, the so-called Third World unity, where “people of color” are supposed to have some kind of solidarity simply because they aren’t white, is officially dead. And it should be. Who but silly Negroes ever believed this stuff anyway?
In early February, about 170 Latino inmates at the North County Correctional Facility in Castaic -- which is part of the jail system in Los Angeles County -- attacked 35 black inmates. One black inmate, 45-year-old Wayne Tiznor, was beaten to death.
And that wasn’t the first incident of “brown on black” violence in the Los Angeles County jail. The Los Angeles Times listed several others.
Six years ago, Latinos attacked black inmates and injured 80, leaving one man in a coma.
Black and Latino inmates clashed on Jan. 13 of this year.
Six inmates required treatment after 62 black and Latino prisoners fought it out on Dec. 27 of last year.
On Dec. 4 of last year, 22 more inmates were injured after a fight between 162 blacks and Latinos. Three days later, 12 more were injured after a fight involving 117 inmates.
See a pattern here? Are you starting to wonder why our misleaders are always talking about the unity of “people of color” or why they always refer to blacks and Hispanics as if we’re one and the same race?
Clearly, the Mexican Mafia doesn’t think that way.
The Mexican Mafia has been around a while, since the days of George Jackson, the Black Panther prison activist who was killed in 1971 during an escape attempt from San Quentin penitentiary. Jackson was given a one year-to-life sentence in 1960 for robbing a gas station of $70.
In his famous book of prison letters, “Soledad Brother,” Jackson said that when blacks and whites clashed in California’s prisons, Mexican-Americans regularly sided with the whites. So we shouldn’t be surprised by the following line from a Los Angeles Times story of Feb. 10:
“Investigators said they traced (the) riot to Mexican Mafia gang leaders, who they said ‘greenlighted’ Latino jail inmates to attack blacks.”
Now, you probably know where I’m going to go with this, but it needs to be said. Suppose that news story had read “investigators said they traced the riot to Aryan Brotherhood gang leaders, who they said ‘greenlighted’ white jail inmates to attack blacks.” Do you think we’d have heard from Jesse, Al, Julian, Bruce and our illustrious CBC then?
Of course we would have. They’d have screamed bloody murder, charged that white racism was rampant and, no doubt, found a way to blame President George W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, the Supreme Court and Jefferson Davis’ mama. But when it comes to “brown on black” violence, we don’t get so much as a grunt from our misleaders.
So far, only two prominent blacks have had the backs of the black inmates in the Los Angeles County jail system, who are outnumbered by Latino inmates by two to one. These brothers must be getting that sinking George Armstrong Custer feeling along about now.
One of those blacks is author, columnist and activist Earl Ofari Hutchinson of the Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable. According to a Feb. 10 edition of the Los Angeles Times, Hutchinson “called upon political leaders, particularly Latino elected officials, to speak out against the jail attacks. ‘We have got to stop the code of violence,’ he said. ‘The silence by every major Latino leader in the city is troubling.’”
The other prominent black is Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Last year, Thomas voted with a minority of two other justices who said that California could indeed segregate inmates by race for security reasons.
Had the five other justices who ruled on the case voted likewise, Wayne Tiznor might still be alive.
Hillary could mitigate this problem if she would only spend a month in prison with the inmates. She could “feel their pain” first hand. Get a few votes-maybe.
Jeez, since when does a jail have to have to be PC!? I guess since the 90’s.
Por La Raza todo. Fuera de La Raza nada.
Well, she did just hire a radical “La Raza” person to be on her campaign.

For all the talk about ‘speech’ there is nothing said by the black leaders (sharpton, jackson, etc) about the Latino gang crime and discrimination against blacks, simply because they are black! Not a word from them about the recent murder of black teenager by Latino gangs. Nothing.
On Cnn a couple weeks ago they had a special about this 18th St gang in LA. If a black person crosses that street, they are dead! As for ‘speech’ you should have heard the way the Mexicans described black Americans. Imus didn’t even get close to them.

Ho in spanish: “Hillery es una puta”.
Pardon my callousness, but it seems that an unfriendly atmosphere in prison should be a deterrent to actions that land people there.
Said another way, people who smack other people around for a living should expect the same treatment at the hands of someone stronger than they are.
Hey, he hasn't been listening at all, has he:
Ethnic Cleansing in L.A.
Anthony Prudhomme was slain by members of the Avenues, a Latino street gang. But he was not a rival gang member, or a police informant, or a drug dealer. The Avenues did not target him for the content of his character, or even the contents of his apartment.
They targeted him for the color of his skin.
Prudhomme was murdered because he identified himself as black (he was in fact mixed-race) in a neighborhood occupied by one of the many Latino street gangs in Los Angeles County. Incredibly, even though these gangs are fundamentally criminal enterprises interested mainly in money, gang experts inside and outside the government say that they are now engaged in a campaign of "ethnic cleansing" -- racial terror that is directed solely at African Americans.
"The way I hear these knuckleheads tell it, they don't want their neighborhoods infested with blacks, as if it's an infestation," says respected Los Angeles gang expert Tony Rafael, who interviewed several Latino street gang leaders for an upcoming book on the Mexican Mafia, the dominant Latino gang in Southern California. "It's pure racial animosity that manifests itself in a policy of a major criminal organization."
"There's absolutely no motive absent the color of their skin," adds former Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Michael Camacho. Before he became a judge, in 2003, Camacho successfully prosecuted a Latino gang member for the random shootings of three black men in Pomona, Calif.
"They generally don't like African Americans," Pomona gang unit officer Marcus Perez testified in that case. "If an African American enters their neighborhood, they're likely to be injured or killed."
That does it!
No more radio show for you!
;-)
WHAT? Segregate?
Remember the Alamo. And honor the Texans of 1836.
Nuke Mexico City.
Try a websearch on my tagline.
Et Thybrim multo spumantem sanguine cerno.
Those Latinos are just joining gangs that Citizens don’t want to join!
Can I still call Rush?
There's no percentage in it. They can extort Whites to give them goodies, but not illegal Mexicans. And Sharpton knows that if he talks trash about the Mexicans, enough to give momentum to a deportation program, the Mexican Mafia is going to put out a contract on Al
They are beating blacks that white Americans don’t want to beat.
Once upon a time the purpose of affirmative action was to make up for the unique experience of Black Americans (slavery). But then all of a sudden that didn't matter any more, and anyone, even an alien from outer space, was entitled to affirmative action despite having no history of enslavement in America.
Turns out that the problem wasn't enslavement but "otherness," and as long as you got "otherness" (whether "The Man" reacted to it by enslaving its possessors or in some other way) then you're entitled to the whole deal.
Hey, I'm not mainstream--I'm just differently othered!
It is also the reason why black "leaders" have not spoken out about illegal immigration, even though blacks are disporportionately affected by illegals in the workplace.
It is also the reason that black leaders have not spoken out about the sad state of urban schools and its failures that doom many blacks to the bottom of the economic ladder. The teacher unions and the NEA are major supporters of the Dems.
I could go on and on about the failure of black "leaders" to support the interests of their constituents. They have been bought and paid for by the Dem party.
