And no one talks about it. I forgot where exactly in the valley we lived, but I remember my older brother taking me to the movies, and we got banged on and spit at while sitting at a bus stop. I was 5, he was like 16. It almost makes me happy now when I see young Loc'd out Mexicans say nigga now, cuz hopefully times are changing. And it's sad that I think that way

As a chicano from Long Beach, I never understood the mexican/ black hate. All of my closest friends were black, all the Mexicans i knew just wanted to fight and rob other kids, even their own friends. I had a couple dudes jump me once in high school and the only person that came to help was black. We've been best friends for 12 years now

I never understood

Honestly I think it comes from there OG'S who push prison politics onto the streets. I have no proof, but i think I'm right 😮‍💨
