Wednesday’s Los Angeles Times front-page story about the waning of black political power due to hispanic immigration into a historically African-American neighborhood Wow! The L.A. Times actually published something I agree with. Of course, anyone with any power of observation can see that there aren't that many blacks left in South Central, which they now call South Los Angeles. They renamed it because of the bad reputation the name South Central carries. So, the question they didn't answer was: Where did all the blacks go? They went to the new Section 8 housing in the Antelope Valley - Palmdale and Lancaster. Here's some good news connected with that. That area has been represented by Maxine Waters forever. She no longer lives in that district, but in upscale Hancock Park, about 10 miles away from her district, but she does still own a home there so she can still qualify. Hispanics now dominate her district. One can only hope. Hispanics are becoming a force to reckon with in L.A. politics. They are represented in almost all the surrounding towns' city councils including L.A. itself.
