OK, first I read this in the paper a few weeks ago, then I heard some blacks on the street corner at 2:30 AM, waiting for a bus, talking about it. Latinos in Los Angeles are targeting (killing) blacks, aka, "African-Americans"...and blacks are afraid!
This is perhaps one reason the blacks in the Pacific Northwest are so "in your face" and aggressive toward others. They escaped their death sentence in LA and once again are "the top dog", in their minds, of the local hood.
Federal indictments unsealed on October 16 allege that leaders of the Florenza 13 (F 13s) gang acted on orders from the Mexican Mafia to cleanse their neighborhoods of African-American gang and non-gang members. “The most disturbing aspect is that gang members allegedly engaged in a series of attacks … that extended to innocent citizens who ended up being shot simply because of the color of their skin,” said U.S. Attorney Thomas P. O’Brien.
The news was a bitter pill to black and Latino activists who struggled all year to get law enforcement and city leaders to admit that the rash of racially motivated killings and attacks against African-Americans and their Latino supporters is part of a larger and chilling plot – a highly organized effort by the Mexican Mafia (La Eme) to cleanse the many neighborhoods they control of their black population.

I find this a viable explanation, because after living in the Detroit Metro area, local blacks here would be dead in a week back in Michigan, with the posturing they do here in the NW. Obviously LA Latinos don't like blacks. Blacks like no one, and do not respect even their own kind. Bla, bla, bla...generalizations, I know, but unfortunately sometimes, they fit!
In my own personal case, ignoring them, staying out of their way, keeps me out of trouble. I guess if you live in LA, the only thing to do is "flight or fight"! Many have evidently chosen the former. I do wonder though, what would happen if I went into the day shelter, where 40% of the blacks hang out, and yell "La Raza"?
