im pretty disconnected from academia. but i dont mind.

quick question: if Mexico had the highest concentration of Africans in Latin America around 1800, why do citizens of African descent now only make up 1% of the population?

theyve merged through breeding into the largely mestizo population...the closer you get to the Caribbean, the more likely you will come across Mexicans with clearly African features...
I think they must have meant Brasil. Brasil has (or had) the largest African population outside of Africa.

Something about that video felt strange...not sure how much I trust Mr. Policeman to school me about this. Dude supports minutemen: http://www.fulldisclosure.net/Programs/479-480.php

I don't mean to side-swipe the prison-gang issue, but I found this analysis of the original article interesting:

In short, D*e* is right.. the origins and "random" murders are directly connected to Prison shit ....But the Schools,judicial system,politicians,Koreans,welfare system,unemployment,banks and L.A.P.D also share blame in supporting and even creating tension.


That is all
