I had a huge BBQ at my spot Saturday...and I'd say a third of the people aren't from L.A. They were all amazed that it was so many Blacks there that were educated n all else, and most of them were even more shocked that it was in "South Central." They really think shit is as bad as the movies show, or like it was in the 90's...but L.A.'s "hoods" really aren't hood anymore. Hell, I wear Red in Crip hoods all the time now, and don't even realize it because no one cares.
