A History of Violence |
| Blacks who ventured across the unmarked border were often attacked |
| By teenage members of the new gang called The Spook Hunters |
| One of a handful of white gangs active in this time |
| It was only natural for L.A.'s newest residents to respond unkind |
| As white attacks started to increase in the mid 1940's and late 1940's |
| Blacks started to organize their clubs really as a defensive mechanism |
| And the boss men or the business men and the Snyder boys and all these |
| Clubs in south L.A. really were just sorta defending themselves against |
| White violence that was coming from Huntington Park and Southgate |
| The demise of the black panthers in Los Angeles is said to be another |
| Blow to a generation of black teenagers that witnessed many of its role models |
| Assasinated throughout the 1960's |
| spoken |
| What I’m sayin in so many words, they shoulda let the panthers |
| Went on because there probably would never have been no crips and no bloods |
