Jeffrey Aguilar and Efren Marquez were arrested for allegedly committing a hate crime.
*A press conference has been called by a Southern California organization called California Friends of the African American Caucus to highlight increasing hate crimes in Compton.
The press conference, scheduled for Monday (01-28-13) morning at 11am Pacific on the steps of Compton City Hall, was spurred by an incident this past week.
In the wake of that inciodent, two Latino gang members were arrested on suspicion of hate crimes after allegedly waging a campaign to force a black family to move from Compton, Los Angeles County sheriff’s officials said.
Jeffrey Aguilar, 19, of Compton, and Efren Marquez, 21, a resident of Riverside, were arrested Thursday.
The trouble began soon after they arrived.
The black family—a mother, three teenage children and a 10-year-old boy—moved into a little yellow home in Compton over Christmas vacation.
When a friend came to visit, four men in a black SUV pulled up and called him a “nigger,” saying black people were barred from the neighborhood, according to Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies. They jumped out, drew a gun on him and beat him with metal pipes.
It was just the beginning of what detectives said was a campaign by a Latino street gang to force an African American family to leave.
The attacks on the family are the latest in a series of violent incidents in which Latino gangs targeted blacks in parts of greater Los Angeles over the last decade.
Compton, with a population of about 97,000, was predominantly black for many years. It is now 65% Latino and 33% black, according to the 2010 U.S. census. But it’s not only historically black areas that have been targeted.
Federal authorities have alleged in several indictments in the last decade that the Mexican Mafia prison gang has ordered street gangs under its control to attack African Americans. Leaders of the Azusa 13 gang were sentenced to lengthy prison terms earlier this month for leading a policy of attacking African American residents and expelling them from the town.

What’s happening in Compton and throughout LA is a mere dress rehearsal for the rest of country. Black people need to wake up and realize that you can’t hide from this. It will eventually reach you. To address it, we must first acknowledge the problem. These people straight up hate blacks. This is not the time for bullshit argument from Al and Jesse about black and brown coalition.
But what are we going to do? We are outnumbered in places liken Compton, so our only choice is a strategic withdrawal to some place where we have the numbers to make a stand. We are talking about the separation and coalescing of our race for survival.
For this we need some type of leadership, since the usual civil rights clique won’t acknowledge the problem and the obvious solution out of fear of being ostracized as racial separatists. Sharpton can’t say that or he will lose his MSNBC gig, and Jesse’s Rainbow coalition is all about this façade of getting along with people who obviously doesn’t like us. They are more concerned about maintaining the political correctness necessary to protect their bottom line. As for Obama and the Democrats, we know that getting their Latino vote is more important than addressing issues confronting black people.
But in the end, with or without their help, we may not have any choice as waves of Mexicans move across the country from the Rio Grande. We will inevitable find ourselves pushed onto the eastern seaboard. Let’s hope that we will have the numbers and organization by then to truly make a stand. Blacks survived the Atlantic slave trade, so I have to believe that we will somehow survive this orchestrated ethnic cleansing that’s being visited on our people.
This problem has been going on for some time now. And you are right – this black and brown coalition is just BS. This DAMN president of ours is about to rule on this immigration bill for these damn illegals. Our people can’t or won’t see whats happening right before their eyes.
Well i am ready for whatever – i stay ready for BS like this. BTW where is Tavis Smiley or Cornel West on this issue. Tavis Smiley leaves in LA and i’m willing to bet – he won’t say sh@t about.
Latino hatred for Black manifest itself everywhere they are. This is why I do not agree with the Dream Act or immigration reform. The hell with them. Blacks are always so welcoming when folks arrive and this is what usually happens. This shyt has already spread to the east coast…remember when they executed those Delaware University students in a school yard for NOTHING. Now look what we have witnessed with folks like Zimmerman..the poker-faced murderer of Trayvon. They are rabid racists and like you said this is just a dress rehearsal. Blacks bend over backwards including them in all their shows etc but pay no mind that it’s unreciprocated.
I’m glad that organization was formed to highlight their crimes because. There have been a number of incidents in California where they straight up attempt to expel Blacks from communities so they can claim them for their own. I read they sometimes hang flags outside building to signal no Blacks allowed. One of our biggest problems is the more non-Blacks hate us…the more some of us love and extend ourselves to them.
And a good 85% of them are illegal especially in Los Angeles and San Diego. All the areas in San Diego that were once predominately black is nothing but Mexican. The sad part is, the Mexicans don’t own shit nor do they stick together to accomplish anything. There just here…
When a friend came to visit, four men in a black SUV pulled up and called him a “nigger,” saying black people were barred from the neighborhood. They jumped out, drew a gun on him and beat him with metal pipes.
This is happening in a country with a black president who won’t get his justice department to even bat an eye. If black people will still jump to his defense saying how he is the president America and not just black America, then heaven help us.
Seems this won’t have a federal response from Democrats until whites are also affected.
Seriously folks, it may be time to start thinking outside the box.
Blacks have 101 reasons not to vote Republican, but if there is one reason to go against the grain, this may be it. This is about a choice for survival, not about voting for who claims they are down with us. In the next election, we need to see how much the Democrats care about getting the brown vote versus looking out for us.
Maybe that type of leadership Reds was talking about can organize the 35% Black people that stayed in Compton. Encourage those Black people that left Compton to come back. That leadership can show those Black people to take a stand against Latinos that are harming them.
“Seems this won’t have a federal response from Democrats until whites are also affected.”
@Reds, and they’re next if 11 million are allowed to remain in this country ‘illegally’. They commit lots of crimes then run back across the border until things cool down then return. Those Black politicians backing the Dream Act and immigration reform are foolish to think Latinos will give a damn about fairness of any kind. I see them working in Black businesses but it’s never the other way around and it’s never even discussed.
Mel, you are so on point. It wasn’t until one of Nelson Rocekfeller’s grandkids got hooked on herion or cocaine that he took a fierce stance on drugs in NY. It was mainly geared towards blacks and Puerto Ricans…so that led me to believe that a person of color got his grandkid hooked on drugs…
With all due respect for taking a stand, maybe you don’t understand the magnitude of what they would be facing. We are talking about armed and vicious killers from the Mexican Mafia, Azusa 13, MS13 .. . Some of these criminal organizations have fought the Mexican government to a stale mate. This needs a massive federal response.
What kind of Federal response are you looking for? They (ATF, in collusion with the Department of Justice) were part of the Fast and Furious scandal which probably armed some of the gangs which you’re referring to.
There are lots of other links to their hate crimes on this page. I remember they killed a 13 year old girl sitting on her bike because she was too close to the line they had drawn in the street as her boundary.

LA County gang member gets death for hate-crime killing of a black man
Blacks are simply getting a taste of their own medicine…and they don’t like it. Blacks have always bullied Whites, Hispanics, & Asians when they have the numbers (of course). What comes around, goes around. Here’s hoping there is more of it.
Getting a taste of their own medicine????? You are so wrong on every level. People like you disgusts me to the max. How can Blacks bully anyone when we don’t have the economic force to oppress anyone. Apparently, you must have missed out on history class because with this delusional statement.
No Diva007, you’re self-brainwashed by your hate so you have this false belief that blacks cannot bully anyone because they do not have economic power. How ignorant can you be? What in the world does economic power have to do with being a bully? Google “flash mob” attacks and see all the black attacks on others. Blacks attack each other plenty, but also other non blacks OFTEN. Of course, the liberal media never covers it. Only when it’s a White-on-black, which is very rare. Look how the Zimmerman thing blew up because the liberal media THOUGHT he was White. It happens the other way around every day but never makes the news. Blacks are the ultimate racists in today’s world. They pick on Asians a lot. They rob poor Mexicans carrying cash. Well, THE TIDE HAS TURNED YOU BLACK, HATEFUL, RACIST SCUM!!!!!!!!!!!
So, YES, getting a taste of your own medicine indeed. Enjoy! ;O)
Melody, because of the media blackout, folks don’t understand how deadly this campaign is against black people so far.
Streetgangs.com is one of the best source for documenting their activities.
What I find interesting about the Latino violence against blacks once they move in and have the numbers, is that the opposite never seem to happen. Blacks don’t terrorize them once they started moving and are outnumbered.
I know of white flight, where whites voluntarily leave once blacks move in, but actually trying to drive someone out of the neighborhood because of their race seems to only happen to blacks. Whites did it before, and now Latinos, though in a more violent and sustained manner.
I live have been saying for a long time where it he outrage.. Cheryl Green to Mr. Shaw the highschool football player along with other in our community. LAPD, Los County Sherrifs and the Gang Units all allowed this to happend becaue they are in a gang. Read a book Mexican Mafia it detalis this in detail and how the phoney Black leaders say and do nothing.
It’s a sign of the times. Black people were the first people on the planet, now they are considered the worst people on the planet. From my understanding Compton is nothing but a rat trap now. The Latinos don’t want anyone else to sell drugs, rob, shoot, or kill in Compton. Because that’s reserved for them. Black folks rise up, move on, up, and out of the miseries of life. As long as there is another day, there’s always another way. Let the MexiKlan waddle in their own filth. Who wants to fight over Compton anyway.
I bet if they eliminated welfare benefits, they wouldn’t be so quick to come here. If children of illegal immigrant parents are granted full benefits, it would curb illegal immigration big time!!! 8 of 10 people in San Diego and Los Angeles are Mexicans…
I recall how Russell Simmons foamed at the mouth and protested on behalf of arabs so they could build a mosque near Ground Zero…and then we had the Black basketball players for the Suns wearing armbands in solidarity with the illegals after that proposition passed in Arizona…but see how scared they are to speak up for their own? Notice how they are much more comfortable advocating for others and even transferring their wealth to them like it’s going out of style.
Man, I grew up with Puerto Ricans and we were all cool together. My closest friends are Latin (Puerto Rican and Dominican) so what’s up with Mexicans? They of all people should know what its like to be ‘downpressed’ by the majority. Immigrants who come here should remember that African American helped build this country and made it possible for people of color to get access to public institutions, jobs, health care, etc. This really pisses me off that another person of color is discriminating against another. If they don’t want to be around black people, don’t come in their neighborhoods. Better yet, stay in Mexico. Why come to push people out their neighborhood by harassing, injuring or killing them? Black people better wake up!
I live in LA County, been here since the late 60′s. Mexicans have taken over the majority of the state ‘period’. Cities once they were majority black..Compton, Inglewood, Lynwood, and now they’ve taken over Crenshaw also.
They are very jealous of us, they copy our language (the way we speak) our fashions, and hairstyles. And they blast our music all day long…Yet they hate us?

Really. So lowriders were something NWA came up with, among other things? Sho you right.
95% of Africans live in Latin America. You are not the only “blacks”nor do you get to tell us how to be. Keep dreaming. While not every African American is to blame for any one crime, you commit the most. The media AND activists ignore these cases. When the Ecuadorian guy was killed while walking with his brother…… who did that and WHY? You don’t even respect each other. All you do is tear each other down. Look at hip hop. Every day it’s something new. Don’t blame others when it is you that has the issues mostly. Your victims are too scared to speak because you tend to get loud and slave-like. They should know it’s an act because African Americans are more bark than bite. This is why you love movies like Django and people like Farrakhan who does nothing but go everywhere preaching hate to everyone else and incite violence. Who do you think killed Malcolm?? Malcolm found peace. Farrakhan hataes Spike so he supports Django. He was up a creek when X became a popular movie. Why? Because the dude hated Malcolm. No, you getting yours now. Not trying to be so mean, but karma. CHICKENS ARE ALL COMING BACK TO ROOST.
Yes, I said the same thing too. Nowadays, everyone wants to be Black but don’t want to be Black. I don’t want to generalize because I have met some truly genuine Mexicans so its not all of them. These gangs even terrorizes their own people. They are led by the Mexican Mafia and other powerful gangs running the drug trade and yes they are spreading all over. If the CIA and or FBI doesn’t start cracking down on their gang activities, it will be a great bloodshed.Pretty much they are taking back California because it was theirs in the first place. Hell let them have that raggedy city called Compton. Nothing to save anyways. These immigrants, other people of color and gays are all riding off the coattails of all the opportunities our people fought for us to have. I hate how some Black ride or die for others and won’t even stand for their own. We are losing ground slowly but we all need to wake wide up before its too late.
Your people are done Diva007. Stick a form in em’ LOL :O)
VIVA MEXICOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I found something interesting about the coverage of this story. It’s not popping up on prominent black sites. I’ve been looking for it on thegrio since Saturday and it doesn’t seem to be on BET yet.
These are actually fraud black sites. Thegrio is an MSNBC website designed to lure, control and pimp black people, and obviously has no intention of “offending” their other minority pawns, Hispanics.
I noticed how they are touting immigration reform, though (Civil and labor groups: “Let’s organize for immigration reform”).
As long as Sharpton stays over there, he is effectively muzzled, along with Dyson and Perry.
As for BET, their agenda has pretty much been the same as MSNBC since Bob Johnson sold out to those white people.
I found a chilling similarity with the coverage of this story and what happened to black people in Libya after the Obama inspired overthrow of Gaddafi. A blackout from MSNBC and other news organizations. In both cases, we had the ethnic cleansing of black people.
Anything from Smiley and West?
” I hate how some Black ride or die for others and won’t even stand for their own.”
Diva, this is why I have zero respect for certain members in our community. We’ll never be able to come together and unite on this problem before so many Blacks are throwing their weight and resources behind these people and other non-Blacks and don’t give a damn that it’s unreciprocated.
Do you mean to say… the Smiley and West have not taken their show to Compton?
How come they are not screaming about this?
This is an isolated incident and we need more details before getting upset with the entire Latino community. I do agree that it’s power in numbers. Both the Democrats and the Republicans are fighting to get the attention of the Latino community. This should be interesting but I truly wish everyone the best.
This is no ‘isolated’ incident. Can’t you read the damn article? So far one of you has been given the the death penalty in a court of law and it’s time to shine the spot light on vermin that behave in this manner.
Melody, you a black RACIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m kinda glad this is happening.It helps get rid of interracial dating, especially between black men and white and hispaniic women. it puts black men on notice which franckly needs to happen.
???
Wetbacks aint shit unless they have NUMBERS! Then you bean eating midgets are brave?
Really? You keep thinking that more bark then bite bullshit until you get bit! Everybody knows you border monkies aint shit unless you have numbers the you bring that shit EAST and see how fast you circus midgets run back to the border! All you fools having going for you is BREEDING faster then rats!
