I am going through my folder of old draft posts, which goes way back, and deciding to just post that shit, since it doesn’t really matter if I do or I don’t cuz nobody cares anyways. I was hoping to do a relevant post about the LA Riots earlier this year but I didn’t get around to it. I once wrote up my experiences and analysis of the events, as a participant, on to some stupid Mac floppy drive that got formatted by some other stupid newer Mac computer. Lost forever since I wasn’t about to spend all that time, AGAIN, to type it out. I know what I experienced, who cares if it’s documented?
When I saw this comic book available from the LA library I laughed at how ridiculous it was, some European trying to describe what happened here back in 1992, from all the way over in Spain. But then I realized that not being informed has never stopped anyone from a good story. Luckily, I don’t think anyone other than a few Spanish comic book nerds has seen this, which is for the best.
It’s an interesting view of what happened here though.
References to actual graffiti is good.
Supposedly some white guy that-insists-he-is-not-a-racist owner of a bar in S. Central is trying to find refuge at a local apartment, only to realize the person that is putting him up is a Black Puerto Rican Woman. Oh brother.
The Spanish usage of the word Culo is always funny, and inappropriate on this side of the Atlantic.
This shit is just dumb.
Oh, oh. Rata blanca is not having a good day.
Toma! Indeed.
Actually, that’s not a bad understanding of the world. Stupid Gilipollas.
No mention of Koreans, which they should if they are going to focus on race dynamics.
Yeah, it’s a stupid comic book, but still, it is a skewed representation of the events that happened here.
Later I discovered that this comic book was available online and I felt stupid for scanning in all these pics.
Oh well.
