Maybe the LA based members can chime in and offer more insight but I think Jason Black is pretty much correct about black LA. It's done as a power. I think there is some hope but what makes hope a very small chance of happening is that the black community in LA isn't united enough if at all. Blacks in LA are publicly fought by Latinos and behind the scenes fought by Whites and I would be surprised if both groups don't low key get together on keeping us out. And the Asians and everyone else (Armenians, Jews, Persians, Russians, Filipinos) is cheering for the Blacks to lose.
The Streets:
The black street isn't unified
Mexican gangs all over LA are controlled from inside the prison by the Mexican Mafia. Yeah, they still kill each other, you can't stop generations old beefs, but they have strict rules and inside prisons they all gotta bow and come as one. No exceptions.
For the most part, very, very few exceptions (I think Gardena 13 has decent relations with black gangs in their area and a peace treaty between East Coast Crips and Florence 13, and I think Inglewood 13 and one of the Inglewood blood gangs have a truce now last I heard) the Mexican gangs bang on black gangs, Crips, Bloods, doesn't matter. The Black gangs bang on each other and Mexicans. Gentrification and Mexican/Latinos moving is making the Black population drop as well as destroying the projects where Blacks have been for 50 years. As long as the Black gangs beef with each other they will slowly lose power and territory. The Mexicans know this. They know its a matter of when not if, Black gangs are marginalized to the point of not existing. This has happened in a few areas already. Santa Monica once had a black gang. An east side gang Geer Gang Crips is pretty much gone. Shoreline Crips in Venice is pretty much gone.
Black gangs had a peace treaty once after LA riots in '92 and that has gone by the wayside, in part because the cops didn't want it to happen. But unless black gangs see the Mexicans as the bigger "enemy" they will all become marginalized to the point of almost powerless. It doesn't seem likely now but South Central, Watts, was once predominantly Black and now isn't.
Some of you non Los Angelenos might say and logically "Wouldn't you want Black gangs to end?" and the answer with LA is no. What I would want ended is the killing of each other. But I would like to see it similar to the Mexican gangs. The Black gangs of LA is the military wing of Blacks in LA. If the city starts tripping too much against Blacks and the injustice is too much, the Black gangs have always been the ones that will turn up as a last resort and end the bullsh*t ('92 riots, BLM/Floyd marches, etc). Proud Boys tried to protest at Maxine Waters office in south LA and got run the f*ck out by black gangs. You need that threat of violence if you don't do the right thing and the black gangs are that.
The black elite/rich has to unite:
There is actually a lot of well to do blacks in LA but they are all over the place, some of it entertainment related but everything else, engineers, lawyers, whatever. They unite at times on some boule` type sh*t but they are also often on that coalition bullsh*t as well.
All have to get on code, stop selling their homes to non blacks. Get on the same code as the Asians do. Is it likely to happen? No, not from what I can see. It will start happening when its already too late is my guess.
