What percent of Black people will admit amongst other black people that they listen to music other than hip-hop, r&b, reggae, or soull music?........i am a white american...get along with everyone but i admit to liking rap music which is perdominatly black....and i will admit to listening to reggae or latin music....i just care about how it sounds........i am just wondering why it is when you get a group of black kids together that they are afraid to say they listen to rock or techno or latin music?....i know there are individuals that don't care what they say they listen to but the majority of blacks think its uncool to admit to liking anything but the hip-hop station or r&b......that's close minded to me or its just being insecure.....and dont tell me the majority aren't like that and i am not being racist ....if i was racist i would have called someone a name or said they should sit in a different part of a bus....so stop with this thing you call racism nowadays because asking a truthfull question isnt racist
In LA, New York, Minneapolis, and Chicago you will find a larger population of blacks into other things like punk rock, skin head, the rave scene, rock n roll, etc. But, as to why so many black people adhere to the stereotypical rap/r&b thing is simple-it's an identity issue, which is effed up because that just keeps the racism ball rolling.
As for Compton-I was always under the impression that there were more Koreans living there then anyone else, and that there were still more whites living there then blacks, but what do I know, I was born in Santa Monica, lived in Venice.
As for white as white can be-I bet a hondo that that is a reference to "Hey world, I live in the suburbs, in a mostly-if not all-white community and I believe in everything that FOX news tells me." If you can't tell the difference between a shady situation and a safe one, then well, you need to get out more. I bit my tongue on that one.
As for hispanic gangs not really messing with whites, well I think thatt you can chalk that up to three things-Black gang members hate hispanics, so it is recipicol. Most whites show an indifference towards hispanics-at least on the outside, and-in the prison system-Aryan Nation is aligned with the southern Mexican gangs.

Compton's whites and Latinos split for O.C. after the Watts Riots. The Latino population of the CPT today consists of illegal immigrants and their kids and is totally distinct from the old Chicano population of the old Compton. I don't think there are too many Asians there.
As I said, the facts he said was just from this site.
I have never been in Compton but still I know so many things about it like:
1. Blacks used to be majority there but hispanics are majorities nowadays
2. Even though it's dangerous today Compton was much worse during the crack epidemic with 1993 as it's peak with 90 as murder rate.
3. The city is enough safe during the days while u shouldn't even thinking of driving through there during night.
4. About 13.5% of the inhabitants are unemployed
etc.
And the biggest reason I know that he lies is because he said that there are a lot of murders while there aren't that many rapes. How can he know that there aren't many rapes unless he just checked the reports on this site? And I'm pretty sure the rape rate is much higher than the crime report says because a lot of them don't get reported. It's pretty obvious this kid just looked at the facts on this site and then says he's from Compton.
Anyway, you all may still have doubts but I guess I just can't convince you. Doesn't matter that much though, good bye!

That was an interesting question and a challenge. I found this for New Jersey so I'd bet the same process applies for California:
My hospital closed. How can I locate my hospital’s administrative records or
patient medical record?
Answer:
You should contact New Jersey State Licensure office. Hospitals usually
make arrangement with other hospitals or warehouse their records; they
usually notify the State Department of Health about how and where the
medical records will be stored.

I grew up in Compton also. I was not as fortunate as this writer, I was shot in 1981 as a 15 yr old kid. I was not gang banging, just minding my own business. I now live in Carson, but I still do as much for the city of Compton as I can. I went to Willowbrook Jr High in the late seventies & early eighties. Mr Lawrence C. Freeman was my principal, and he was a "Mean Cuss". I now appreciate his meanness. It is why I have a college degree. It is why I believe that I can still accomplish anything. He allowed us to eliminate that limited expectation we may have for ourselves and realize there is no limitation on what we can accomplish.This is what I try to put into thew minds of the youngsters I coach with the Compton Titan youth football program. I am a proud product of Compton, and I would like to see it become a better place without the negative press.
Hey people, well unfortunately i live in Compton and this city has been having the most murder rates per capita in the untited states in most of the past and recent years. This city has roughly about 55% hispanics, 40% african-amercans, and less than 5% of pacific islanders, whites, and american indians. And well since ive been all over the US quite a bit, i have noticed definitely that us hispanics are the cause for the most dangerous crime, murders. im sorry but its true guys, we're the ones to blame for all these murders and tortures. Well living here in Compton i have seen some TERRIBLE things this place is a death sentence while there are not alot of rapes, robberies, etc, the most dangerous crimes, murders and tortures, happen all the time! It sucks because i know soo many people who died from a homocide, it angers me!
From what im reading, hearing about New Orleans, Afro-Americans are comitting loada of fratricide down there. And its really sad that they feel so hopless and left out, after what happened after Katrina hit. But Im glad you, a hispanic person clarified the Compton crime situation, since black people are still primarily associated with it's demise. Im also glad to hear however, that the rates are tapering.
