the 90s were really difficult for l.a

i almost died at the age of 10 for wearing my chicago bulls gear

had about 7-10 geri curl wearing dudes run up on me asking me 'what you doing with that dead red on cuz?' i said im a bulls fan their response was 'we don't give a fuck, dont be up in here with that shit on!'

never forgot

What hood was It?

my cousin lived on marengo and orange grove in pasadena

they had moved from compton where they thought everything would be rainbows and unicorns

NOPE

That's true. What's the saying? Crips don't die, they multiply.

[VulcanRaven]

My first time seeing any video of white people looting, the only white person the media would show is Reginald Denny taking that ass whoopin.

Didn't you know? Only blacks riot and loot.

Finally bout to watch this today

Man....im LA riot-ed out at this point.

Having actually experienced it (was living off Imperial & Central, right in the god damn middle of all of it) and having seen how the OJ 30 for 30 covered it... it's hard to summon the interest, but Ima watch it eventually.

Watching it right now.

How many black owned businesses reopened after all the chaos?

They didn't get at black owned businesses. That's why on "Friday" they threw that lil visual joke in at the liquor store that said "BLACK OWNED" and a lil Korean dude was working in there. If you put a black owned sign out front of your store niggas was lettin you cook. Them signs stayed up a good 4-5 years afterwards
