I was told by a former latino gang member back in '93 that the Mexican Mafia had control over the jails and street gangs and that they were gearing up for a race war. ( I was working with him on a film project) The plan was, first, they would target blacks and then, whites. But while they were targeting blacks they would rob and pillage whites so they would fear the latinos and use that fear to control the whites.

I think that strategy was aimed at attacking black gangs who had a stong foothold on drug traffic. The CRIPS and BLOODS made their wealth on drug sales. In order for the MM to build their business, they had to take on black gangs in prison and on the street.

Now that the hispanics are replacing blacks in so many LA neighborhoods, they don't have to work so hard. The market is coming to them.
