This ain't true at all lmao. Have you ever lived outside Cali or on the East Coast? Just curious...
I can tell you bout my potna from Harlem who has been to Sac two or three times and loved it. I can tell you bout a former coworker who was from Boston, who lived in North Sac for 8 years and loved it. I can tell you bout a former high school classmate of mine (in Virginia), originally from Tennessee, who moved to Sac last year and is enjoying it...
There's another group of guys I went to high school with who were planning a trip to Sac 2020; it's a group of dudes been friends for years and they vacation together once a year....a different high school classmate has been in Sac for like a decade...
I have a coworker right now, just worked with her tonight, who is originally from here (Raleigh NC where I live now), spent three years in Brentwood from 2015-2018 (out there by Antioch), before moving back home here, and she loves Sacramento...
Californians downplay Sacramento because it's not The Bay or LA, but Californians are vain and spoiled by living in the greatest state in America. And people who come to Cali expecting Sac to be everything The Bay or LA is might be disappointed by Sac, but honestly the disparagement of Sac comes far more from Californians than anyone else. People I've met from this side of the map who go to Sac, are either a)pleasantly surprised; b)love it; or c)are indifferent/neutral on Sac, because they're indifferent on California in general...
On my life g, I've never met a single person in my real life, and keep in mind I'm 30 and half my life has been on this side, I've never met a single person in my real life who isn't from California, that dislikes Sac...
Bro there's like two majority black neighborhoods left in Oakland, the blackest city in The Bay. There's still like 10-12 majority black neighborhoods in LA...
What people get twisted is because The Bay can basically fit into LA County, the compactness of The Bay gives the illusion there are more blacks there, when in reality, it is just like LA, but worse. I'm not even gonna speak on black culture because I can EASILY make the argument black culture is stronger in LA than The Bay, but I'm just gonna talk about population...
Blacks in LA are disproportionately settled in South Central and adjacent cities (Inglewood, Compton, Carson, etc) compared to the rest of the city----->just like blacks in The Bay are disproportionately settled in The East Bay-->Oakland and surrounding cities (Alameda, Hayward, Richmond, etc)...
All you really need to start with is just two points:
1)the entire 8-county Bay had a black population in 2017 of 496,564...Census profile: San Jose-San Francisco-Oakland, CA CSA
LA County by itself had 794,235 blacks...Census profile: Los Angeles County, CA
This illustrates the point enough, as there is a higher percentage of blacks in LA than The Bay, and a higher actual number. It gets much wider when including the rest of metro LA (Orange County + IE)...
2)Oakland has less than 100,000 blacks left and is losing black people more rapidly than LA in the 2010s. Oakland is small compared to LA, and is the epicenter of Black Bay Area. The closest comparison you can give Oakland is to South Central LA, which is the epicenter of Black LA. South LA is somewhere around 86% larger than The Town; Oakland is now less than 25% black with less than 100,000 black residents, while South Central is still over 30% black with around 250,000 blacks...
This is even more stark when you realize South LA is 51-square miles compared to Oakland's 56, which means there are waaaaay more blacks in South Central than Oakland, in a smaller land area...
There is no way to circumvent LA being blacker than The Bay. On any level you want to measure, LA is blacker and has a stronger black culture. The idea The Bay has more blacks or a stronger black culture is borne out of ignorance and peoples blatant disrespect for LA...
For the life of me, if someone spends ample time in both, there is no way you think The Bay is blacker in any way unless you didn't experience both equally----->meaning, if you spent time in East Oakland when you were in The Bay, but hung out in Santa Monica and Hollywood and DTLA when you went to LA, of course you'd say The Bay or Oakland is blacker. You didn't experience both equally, you hung in the blackest pocket of The Bay you could find but didn't do the same in LA...

Bay traditionally been blacker cause of the panthers and civil unrest.
Now i kno la up there with 65 and 92 riots.
But u saying u can have fun in sac.
Going to strikes or dive? Maybe but as a whole its a boring place compared to oakland or la.
La and da bay still very black.
The Mexicans in la sometime overshadow how big the black pop still is there.
Sac women look the best
Bay hustle the hardest
La got the most to do

Black people in North America are "native" to the South. There's gonna be way more blacks in the South for this alone, then when you add in the development history of the US, it was developed from east to west. There will never be a time that there will be more blacks out West than anywhere else because our nation wasn't developed that way...
You gotta keep phrases like "a lot" in context, though. Coming from Cali, there's alot of blacks in Texas, but coming from places east, you can get the opposite opinion....there's more blacks in Sacramento than Long Beach, and depending upon how you choose to define "alot", there's alot of black people all over Cali, not just the three places you mentioned...
nikkas don't really gangbang in an L.A. sense in the Bay. nikkas rep their hoods and banging in the Bay is more known as mobbin (I.e. Mob music). Cali hood politics is the same all over, just no B's or C's involved in the Bay. For instance, non-Cali folks don't realize is the "set" is literally your neighborhood, not your gang.But don't get it fukked up, nikkas have been killed over what turf they from since the 70's in the Bay.
nikkas in the Bay was definitely getting Ricky'd just for being outside at the wrong time based on where their momma or grandmomma lived just like L.A.
Turf rivalries often (i.e. Sunnydale vs. Lakeview in SF) go back for decades. You also had different sets forming and funking in the same hoods (i.e. Uptown vs. Downtown in Fillmoe, SF and West Mob vs. Big Block in Hunter's Point, SF). But unlike L.A., nikkas in the hood ain't recruiting nikkas in the hood to bang the hood and there's no colors involved or getting jumped in. The only color that really matter in Bay Area hoods is green. If it don't make dollars, it don't make sense. And Bay nikkas never saw a profit in banging B or C.
And that color blindness often extends to race in the Bay Area hoods as well. Also, the Bay has always had a revolutionary independent thinking mindset.
Only thing people seem to misinterpret is the inherent nature of Bloods and Crips as hustlers. I don't know why people choose to ignore this in Cali---->outside of Cali, on this side, Bloods and Crips function differently, so people who have never been to Cali, it's understandable why they'd believe Bloods and Crips are how they see in their city...
The color banging died in the 90s at the latest, the colors are just a symbol for which side you stand on. Cats been about paper chasing since crack was introduced to gangbanging culture...
People also get recruiting and getting put on confused often. Everybody not getting jumped in, as you pointed out, these gangs are independent and people get put on differently. The cliche that cats have to get jumped in or do a hit is worn and tired...

When Preston got closed down , and they brought the "up north" nikkas down to LA County, they was one car . facts
Secondly no shyt Sacramento aint in the Bay area, you can look at a map and see that . Its all semantics i guess, all that shyt is "up north" I never really cared that much to be specific. nikkas dont even go up there
I think we should just have a Nor-Cal vs. So-Cal war for the keys to California.
San Francisco is White as hell.

Dude, you haven't been around enough LA cats, or around the right ones probably (cause I know your wife is from LA), if you think The Bay has a stronger hustle culture...that cliche is false...
Even taking illegal hustles out of the equation, people don't realize how hungry you have to be to survive in LA. It's one of the GOAT hustle cities period, hands down, you gotta hustle or you're gonna get left. The amount of ingenuity and restiveness it takes to eat in LA is real, people take it for granted...
When you add illegal hustles into this, it widens the gap. Cats in LA are about that paper, and yes, they're Bloods and Crips...
How did I miss this comment lol...
Just to clarify something: Bloods and Crips never "set up" in Sacramento. The guy who brought Damu culture to Sac was from the SGV, he was solo, and he moved up here because his mother relocated...
The Crips were from Compton and again it was a family thing, they moved up and linked with the local gang in the area they came to, and that gang just adopted the Crip identity...
I've heard stories that it was different in The Bay, I don't really know, but in Sac, it wasn't on no takeover or set up shop shyt. Sacramento Cripped and Blooded it's own hoods out. There isn't a Garden Blocc or an OPGB anywhere else. There is no CunyVille anywhere else, the Rollin 50s in Sac were not birthed by the LA 50s, the Heights Blood car and Highlands Crip car are both conglomerations of original Sacramento gangs, etc. The idea that Bloods and Crips set up shop and that's how they got their start on Sac isn't true.....
Bay cats did their thing, kudos to them, most of The Bay never felt attracted to the B or C. They still banging the same way Bloods or Crips do, just without the unified sides. In Sac the hometown sets were doing the same thing the cats who came up from SoCal were. Once the first hood picked a side, hoods all over started picking sides------>this is the exact way LA got turfed out. One group was dominant and influenced hoods under its umbrellas, and a group of independent sets linked together as a rival umbrella. Then all the other independent gangs in LA started choosing sides...
Sacramento was no different...

It ain't enough blacks in Cali to me, but I also think once that real estate bubble pops, its gonna draw black people back to California. I don't know when that'll happen, but I firmly believe Cali is the greatest state in the US (though Pennsylvania probably my favorite state). The major drawback to Cali is the absurd cost of living, that comes dow, there is literally everything in Cali for everyone and black people will start coming back again, because there's an experience to be lived in California that 99% of other places in the US cant provide...
LA got Top 5 baddest black women in the entire US; there's more Mexicans than blacks in The Bay too; its California, there's more Mexicans than blacks everywhere lmao...
LA has the strongest black culture of the two, LA has the most lifestyle opportunities, and at worst "hustle character" is a draw. Bay for sure don't hustle harder...
No doubt, I get your drift....there's always LA nikkas circulating in and outta Sac, maybe you and your circle don't, but it's not unusual at all to meet an LA head in Sac. Of course you'll meet more Bay people in traffic since we're closer to them, though!
