What you're saying is partly true though. Many of the Black American gangs (Bloods & Crips) in the Eastside of South Central (East of Main Street) are in decline, but they're not by any means disappearing. Many of those same idiots are relocating to other parts of the city, and even to suburbs like Lancaster, Palmdale, Rialto, Moreno Valley, Victorville, Bakersfield, etc, dragging the quality of life down there too.

Not to mention Black American gangs still have a stronghold on basically all of the Westside of South Central, Gardena, Carson (Del Amo), large parts of Watts, and about half of Compton. But it won't be too long before these idiots decide to follow their comrades, and relocate to the same areas I've mentioned above.

There cant be a eastside of the south side of Los Angeles(South Central). Doesnt make sense. You mean the southeast of Los Angeles are where they reside.

According to some of these "L.A. posters" you shouldnt be decked out in Blue and Red if you fit a certain mold. Like lets say if your a YOUNG MALE around the city. Its seems it isnt safe with them two colors but i believe people tend to exagerate when it comes to some ****. That being one of them. People may have died in the past over colors but that CANT be happening everyday. Like the Bloods,Crips, and Mexican gangs be hawking all day just to shoot a ma****a wearing these colors! Bull****!

south central is a geographic area designation, not a statute direction -therefore, you can have an east side of it.

Your post is like saying there cannot be a south side of North Carolina.

No my post was correcting what he was saying. He was talking about the SOUTHSIDE of Los Angeles which is foremally known as "South Central". Theres no eastside to a southside. He means the SOUTHEAST of L.A.

There is an "eastside of the westside" despite that seeming contradictory.

There is a long history in South Central of the term "east side" being used to describe Southeast L.A. Both terms are valid.

I thought they stopped calling it "South Central" because it came off racist because only minorities live there. That's what I heard on the radio. So they just call it Central L.A. now
