Thousands of people in general were moving to San Bernardino for cheaper rent, people in gangs included. That is the primary reason LA based gangs spread to other places. That's true, I didn't know that was the topic but I agree. Especially for San Bernardino county. That's the case for nearly all my extended family too.

I didn't know that was the topic I know. You thought the topic was gang migration, when it's actually internet banging. But it's okay. Several participated in the side discussion. Lol. Oh no, I was actually referring to the side discussion topic we were having about LA gangs, especially B's / C's spreading prior to the crack Era/mid late 80s, and how you popped in with "sorry to spoil the fun" comment as if you were correcting somebody. But yea I think it's pretty interesting how so many hoods all over decided to fall under either the Crip and Blood umbrella back then. Beside just a couple in San Bernardino.

BF,
I think there are a few factors that explain it. Segregation, the intact family structure, and the areas of the Southern states where Blacks lived. You always had your Blacks in the big cities, striving and doing what they had to do, but I've read that for the most part we lived in rural areas. Family was intact, the extended family was intact. People were born,lived and passed away in the same general area and everybody knew everybody. Segregation by the American south power structure, also created a sort of solidarity among Black folks.
Northern migration to these big cities where the jobs were threw the Black family dynamic for a loop.Living among, working with and competing with Whites who had been in that city already and with Blacks who you didn't know or grew up with.No extended family, no community.The Whites had gangs that would victimize the newcomers. There's the ingredients for your Black gangs right there.

Gets True. I'm speaking more so during the urbanization of Blacks in the South ( During The same period as the Great Migration). 50s & 60s is the era of generational gangs but you're right about their being white gangs prior. @ SoCal Apologize for going off topic

They were children and grandchildren of white Southerners who migrated earlier and were raised in racism. It was through them that the black gangs became territorial. Before that they were mostly car club gangs in the post-World War II era. They also affected the Latino gangs. The Slausons, Gladiators and Businessmen gangs formed in response, so they could have protection against the white gang.

Mainly due to the agriculture decline ( boil weevels, discriminative marketplace, and advance machinery) the movement In Mississippi was from the rural counties to towns and cities ( same for the rest of the South). Hence why so many small to mid size cities down here are 1/3 to majority black.
How was the transitioning for you? BF, Thanks. So some of the same forces pushed people out of rural areas to bigger cities in South around the same time the Great Migration was taking place. My father was from one of the big cities back home, so he came here first, got established and sent for us later. I came here when I was 3 so all I really know is growing up here. My Mother's family was from a rural area so the transition was tougher for her and them. Because my Mom was home raising us, we saw the struggles of her family up close. Good and bad aspects of rural upbringing. One of the transitions they had to make was recognizing the authority of the state and following laws/rules. If you're in a rural part of another country or here, you know that the state exists....but that doesn't impact your life on a day to day basis.

@SoCal, At what point did the old group (Mexicans) stop victimizing the new group (Salvadorans) out in L.A. area? The typical pattern says that it stops when the newer group has the numbers...but I don't think that Salv.s will ever have the numbers.
Well, the rise of MS13 was partially about Salvadorians protecting themselves from Mexican gangs, and MS13 has a clique almost wherever there's enough Salvadorians living. Then 18th Street recruits Salvadorians and Guatemalans so in that way they sort of fought back or blended in. They won't have the numbers city wide but they can dominate a particular neighborhood and band together.

@Foot,
Your brother wasn't in a gang called the "Jets", was he? The Latina girl that called him wasn't named Maria, was she?
He was with the Romans not a real gang. My brother was the guy hitting him the other guy with the baseball bat  The kid they beating up is Bennie Marino. He was in the French Connection played Boca's ( tony lo bianco's) brother the guy who bought the car at the auction. He was also in the 7 UP's . https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WNv5It7VeEcWe lived a block from the playground where they shot west side story. That play ground was our play ground.
