Wow, there really are white people in this movie!


When Kane and O-Dog are walking by the house one passed by in a car.

In the hood and believe me I lived there, aint none of your people over there because whites are scared or just white people don't live over there anymore.

Whiteflight happened as late as the 1960s or early 1970s from the South LA part of Los Angeles.

Believe you me, that white person you saw was a paid extra in this Hollywood film.

If you do see Whites in South LA, they either the cops, they're filming a movie or TV show, or they're football or basketball coaches doing some college recruiting.

I went to Compton when I visited LA. The first guy I saw was white. He was a bum who tied a hammock on to 2 poles where the chain was missing along a fence.

B.S. Compton is well below 1 percent White. So I do not believe your story that the first guy you randomly bumped into in the CPT was White. That would be like someone saying the first person they saw when they landed in Bismarck, North Dakota was a Black guy.

Not that Oklahoma is anything like California but I've lived in some of the most notorious hoods here because they're among the most economical places to live and, let me tell you, I've had more favorable experiences with them than with the more "upscale" neighborhoods. As the youngest child in the only white family on the block, crack cocaine and black tar heroin were especially prevalent and, even though gunshots could be faintly heard at night, you needn't worry as long as you minded your own business. The block became more "gentrified" as time dragged on but it wasn't until my father purchased a six-figure home in a much "better" neighborhood that we encountered troubles with neighbors.

Or they're looking for something they can't get in their own neighborhood.

The guy who arranges for the car to be stolen with Chauncey is white, the guy in the garage with Caine's car is white and there some white students in the classroom, I think.

Don't forget the police who beat their asses

They were either looking for drugs or hookers.

I grew up in Watts, and lived there through the 80's and 90's. And even when the area was over 95% black, we still had specs of white people who lived there. They were mostly older white people, who had lived there since the 40's, 50's, and 60's. But there was a dash of white people in Watts, even when it was at it's blackest.

I prefer Compton to Watts. Jordan Downs & Nickerson Gardens are just too hard core for me. Huge influx of Hispanics too in Watts. Not too many whites in both places.
