Some people just don't like to be bothered.

So if it was a young black guy from the Feds it would be coo?

No, there is still distrust. Is there more in the Black community than is others is the question. However in some communities the only white faces are police and fire fighters as the other agencies started sending white faces back to where none were for about 30 years they are suspected as undercover police. We had a letter carrier, who is married to a Black woman and thought he was safe assaulted and medically retired with a shovel in 90044 as it was turning Latino from Black about 15 years ago with that motive

They were never allowed to play duck duck goose as a kid so now they don't want someone doing a head count on them.

I remember before the 1980 and 1990 census in south LA there was a program about black people getting out the count in the census where they had billboards with magic Johnson and the raiders and they had community events where they had to assure people that the census data wasn't gonna be used against them, well those 2 times there were big gains in the LA black population, so i wonder, did suddenly a lot of black people move here at once or were they actually all counted? Then they stopped the campaign and in 2000 it suddenly showed a drop, obviously there are other factors involved but it has something to do with it
Also it's not just black people, Latinos also will refuse to be counted, but this is usually for immigrantion purposes they don't wanna get deported

They didn't get the memo that L.A is a sanctuary city?, nothing to worry about here.

There is a good amount of Blacks in the LA area.

You have the obvious areas like western South LA, Inglewood, Compton, and Hawthorne. Carson is still really the only South Bay city (outside of the capital of the South Bay...Long Beach) with a sizeable Black population, but Torrance, Lakewood, and Cerritos' Black population have grown. Pasadena use to have a larger Black population (also Monrovia and Duarte) that has since shrunk a little, BUT the Black population grew further down the 10/210 in Rancho C, Upland, and Diamond Bar for example. Western cities will never have the Black population numbers that the South and NE get (just like the South won't have the Asian numbers that the West has), but Blacks like California too so I don't think the Black pop will ever dwindle to lower than what it has been recently.

Now even for the cities that lost some Black pop, such as Monrovia, I'm wondering if that is because Blacks left, or if the number remained the same, but huge growth in the Asian or Hispanic numbers pushed the percentage of Blacks down.

I mean it's easy to figure out. I just don't have the time. Maybe someone will have it done by the time I hop on the train in about an hour so I can read while riding.
