This is even more telling when you consider that Compton is a very small city compared to New Orleans, covering only 10 square miles.

He’s on the mark; it’s time that people start engaging in self-accountability, rather than feeling and assuming perpetually the role of a victim.

This happens, albeit on a smaller scale, within the “Latino community.” And surprisingly, it’s often put forth by the “educated” among us. Of course, their evidence is often non-excitant, and if they do offer any it usually pitifully and laughably weak.

I know my manner seems rude, but should unproven allegations that are damaging to “minorities” be left unchecked? I find it so aggravating that so many are so willing to blame just about every social ailment affecting Chicanos directly or indirectly on “white” people. This perpetual feeling of seeing one’s self or group as a victim is detrimental to our primary cause.

I’ll try to make a comparison , paul rodriquez has often made simular statments about the latin community , yet he does not get flamed for it(even when he was still famous) I feel its because he still has a “I’m one of you” Feel. So when he makes statments like “hey vatos quit fighting over land you’ll never own” he does not come off as judgemental.

chriss rock is another example , like bill cosby he often airs our dirty laundry , but he does it in a way that does not seem like a nagging uncle, more like a cousin who is saying “you guys are trippin”, and he points out clear goals by comparing us to other groups, not by saying we should be like them , but by show and telling the end result. It’s like he is telling us about a new hussle or scam , it just turns out to be a legal scam(stop trippin and you’ll get somewhere). And pluss young blacks are more likely to listen to a chriss rock , because he still seems like one of us(he was still livin in bedstie up until 88 and his first role was of a crack head).

I wonder how Cosby was received by the community…
