The leader of North Carolina’s Almighty Latin King and Queen Nation, a Chicago-based gang, has called on other gang leaders to channel their members’ energy away from violence and into a struggle for justice against racism.
Jorge Cornell, who goes by “King J,” and lives in Greensboro, said he has spoken with members of other gangs, including local groups of Bloods and Crips, as well as the leadership of his gang in Chicago, about his ideas.
At a news conference Monday, seated with Nelson Johnson, pastor of the Beloved Community Center, and Gregory Headen, president of the Pulpit Forum, Cornell called on all gang members to unify to fight against policies such as 287-g agreements, which give local law-enforcement jurisdictions broader authority to deport immigrants charged with crimes.
“Racism is still here and it is serious in the South,” Cornell said. To combat it, its victims—the same poor and minority people who often populate gangs—need to work together, not fight over petty rivalries, Cornell said.
“Our goal is to bring peace to the streets,” Cornell said. “Put your weapons down and come to a table to talk peace.”
Cornell, 31, said he is the “Inca” or leader of all members of his gang in North Carolina and had clearance from national gang leaders in Chicago to “build something beautiful out here.”
Capt. John Wolfe, commander of the Greensboro Police Department’s gang enforcement unit, said Cornell had never been in touch with the gang unit about his goals, but Wolfe supports what Cornell says he is trying to achieve.
“He says his mission is for peace and nonviolence, he wants people to lay down their guns, that’s exactly the same as our mission,” Wolfe said. “If his intention is legitimate, we’re going to support him.”
“He is the state leader as far as I know,” Wolfe said. “If he is, then he certainly is the person who can affect change.”

The Almighty Latin King and Queen Nation is similar, but unrelated, to the Latin Kings, another Chicago-based gang, according to an April report by the U.S. attorney general.

Usually, when rival black gangs unite, their only desire is for blacks not to kill each other and instead to kill white people. However, these “truces” never last long. The reason I think is that most black gangs operate in areas where there are only blacks. Therefore, the only kind of people for young men to thump are other blacks.
So, if rival black gangs can’t get together to fight whitey, what makes these Hispanic gangs think that they and the black bangers can join to combat cracker/gringo? Especially since in areas where there are black and Hispanic gangs, they’re bing-banging each other.

A “struggle for justice against racism”? Is that code for “let’s kill all the whites”?
Posted by kitty at 6:20 PM on July 3
Blah blah blah, it is the same old thing blacks have been saying for years, “Why are we killin’ each other when we could be killin’ whitey instead?!”
Problem is, soon as one gangsta “looks at” another gang-banger, impregnates their sister or scuffs their $300 shoe, the bullets will start flying again and the bodies will pile up higher than ever.

This is the kind of heartfelt speech dripping with love and tolerance that all white Liberals will see as proof that even non-white gangbangers are paragons of morality and savant masters of moral philosophy. The Liberal white Elites then will persuade themselves that if only they attack the confederate battle flag some more and denounce all whites as racists, then the inherently innocent and virtuous non-white murderers and rapists will be revealed as angels.
The Russia ruled by Stalin was no more insanely anti-logical and anti-factual, no more filled with Orwellian double-think and self-destructive ‘reforming’, than is the America ruled by Liberals and their ideologies.

In other words, start killing (more) Whites.

Wouldn’t these people hate the white race a lot less if they just hooked up with the communist party? Not to mention have a more honest assessment of what ‘oppresses’ them. It’s times like this I miss old fashioned communism. Then I suppose I’d be complaining about that too. More fun all around.

“Cornell, 31, said he is the “Inca” or leader of all members of his gang in North Carolina and had clearance from national gang leaders in Chicago to “build something beautiful out here.”
Given their dubious backgrounds, I’m not optimistic about these gangs ability “to build something beautiful out here.” After all, a criminal gang is not a philanthropic organization.

Can you believe that we are in the 21st century facing a growing threat from Islam.
Energy problems ,Economic competition from abroad ,

We need to start building prisons, lots of large prisons…

This is not about peace. This is about forming an alliance against Whites. There is nothing peaceful about gang mentality.Of course this will be ignored since its intended targets will be White “racists”. Just like Aztlan/LaRaza/Chicano stated objectives to take over “stolen” lands are ignored as the terrorist threat they really are these dirtbags will probably wind up with corporate and government funding for their great peace agenda.The only AID these groups should be receiving is Arrest/Incarcerate/Deport.

You could fit the entire state population of North Carolina just into the county I live in here in California with room to spare. That’s how many latinos are here now. That notwithstanding, I see they post a 70% White American demographic which is diminishing proportionate to crime increasing as a result of recent growth in immigration diversity. No surprises there. Never are.

Another typical puff piece about a noble gang member fighting for justice. Hey, look everybody I’m going to lay down my gun, aint I great. Now give me an award or something.

Lol…..what these gangs really need to worry about is the fact that Chicago’s gun ban is very close to being overturned. Being a “gangster” is about to become a whole lot more dangerous.

I’m so sick of this type of rhetoric coming from “reformed” gang types once they hit their late 20’s/early 30’s and try to show the errors of their ways to the younger punks.
They act as if they had no choice but to become involved in a lifestyle involving robbery, rape, murder and other activities, even though they live in the modern USA, where a free education (albeit not the best) is available, as well as jobs aplenty. There are plenty of people from the ‘hood and the barrio that follow the path of decency, but they deflect their own personal blame upon society at large. The fact is this lifestyle is chosen, not forced upon anyone. I find it especially absurd when they blame “the streets” for their miserable existence. Maybe they see asphalt and tar differently than the rest of us.
What this police captain and the newspaper overlook is that this individual is involved in an organization dedicated to brutality and criminality, but now tries to get some air of respectability to fight for the Marxist cause against “racism.” Now it can be all swept away since he “older and wiser” and wants to make a difference. Who knows how many crimes he has committed in the last decade or so, before his “Road to Damascus” style conversion? No doubt, many will forgive this - look at all the simpletons and hate-mongers that protested for and mourned the passing of brutal killer, Tookie Williams.
Guess who the targets are going to be? That’s right, White people, since they are, according to many media outlets, the physical manifestation of the idea they want to combat: “racism.”

The police gang unit ‘commander’ was very happy to be given the clearance from the Big Man. Sickening.

Why do white people not understand that just 30 years ago, there is no “King J” or Latin Kings or Kings Latin or whatever?

Actually, the LK originated in Chicago by Cubans. The LK chapter where I live in NJ has had non-hispanic black memebers.

“Put down their weapons”! We all know this translates into more violence against whites (all of us, of course, except for the most rabid libtards).

Cornell is the “Inca” of the Almighty Latin Kings and Queens? Sounds like the name a group of 10 year old’s would give to their make-believe dirt fortress. What a bloated,childish mindset.

Let me spell it out.
Idiot Liberal: The noble people of color will lead us all into a new era!
Conservative: They want to stop killing each other and want to kill us?
Guilty Hypocritical Liberal (me): These clowns will go back to killing each other in, oh, about five minutes now.
That’s why I’m so guilty. The brains of a good sized minority of liberals are a mix of live and let live libertarianism, misguided idealism, and a very low regard for people of color.
Are the black muslims going to march through my neighborhood and burn it? I bet they’d like to, but since they’re such clowns they’d never managed to get here.

“Racists”, like Channon and Christopher, who must have been a sweet couple? Raped, tortured and killed.
Or me? I’m a “racist”. We got up at 6:00 sharp this morning and shot my coilgun up on Rampart Range Road while we took turns watching our little girl. I am not allowed to shoot a real rifle, so I made an electromagnetic coilgun a while ago.
The sonic boom of even 3/8” slingshot ammo exiting the muzzle had my wife holding her ears. It is very loud now, off to the sides, where the sonic boom first breaks.
We changed barrels and feed and she did some full-auto with flechettes. That module uses a two-stage auto trigger to be a sort of “room broom”, so it does 1, 3 or 10. It’s all electrical, so that was easy. I made most of the parts out of plastic.
I am not allowed to shoot firearms anymore, but I love projectile weapons, and I love the sound of a Faraday wheel spooling up.
I’ve been trying to teach my wife to detatch feed from 3/8” ball so she can unlock the barrel and feed system and unplug red from red and black from black, to switch to flechettes, replug everything, and then run new barrel and feed in for flechettes.
I’ll just leave it for slingshot balls on full-auto under our bed, unloaded, with a few magazines in her locked nightbox.
Eugene Stoner was an absolute genius.

Posted by kitty at 6:20 PM on July 3
That’s exactly what he means, and the dumb Captain Wolfe is just another gullible white that has been duped into easing up and making concessions. These career whitey’s will roll over and play dead every time if they think it will enhance their careers some way. Non-whites give their tribe topmost priority at all times.
There’s about one million gang members in the US. Tom Chittum, in his book, Civil War II, wrote that Jesse Jackson has been playing the street gangs as the new civil rights movement, and he’s regarding them as a military arm for blacks. Many of them are getting employed by police departments and the military, and others are blatantly running for elective office, using gang hoodlums as free labor and intimidation to gain voters.
And the Hispanics are doing just about the same in Chicago, New York, Miami, and especially Los Angeles and other California cities.
This country degenerates a bit more with each passing year. Just ten years ago black and latin gangs were barely a presence in areas they are rife with them right now. And in North Carolina! I mean, black and Hispanic gangs in Mayberry?
Will the ongoing economic crisis reach a point so low that there will be mass layoffs and few job opportunities? If so, does anybody believe this ongoiing gang situation will not accelerate?
Does anybody not believe that we could well be in the final throes of the American Empire, witnessing a failed experiment in multiculturalism?
Posted by ice at 7:02 PM on July 4
ice-of that I have no doubt, and the elite, limousine lib wackos love it too. They’ll love it right up until the time some black thugs break through their security system, tie them up, and watch them repeatedly rape & torture their wives & daughters. They will have been mugged by reality, but by then it will be too late for them to change their insane, America hating ways to make a difference.
Lets not forget that the insane mother earthers and their lapdogs in the senate & congress will continue to withhold Americas vast oil reserves from the American people-which they so desperately need; that will drive the economic collapse on, just as it is beginning to do now.
Oh, the collapse of America will be something to behold alright. I just hope that I don’t have to witness it.

Expect more of this. As non-whites continue to get more power in America, street gangs will start taking up the role of political enforcers. If white people show any sign of reversing the race-replacement process, they’ll send these guys over to physically intimidate or assault them. If the white people fight back, they’ll be charged with a “hate-crime” offense.
Posted by at 2:42 AM on July 5
In a just world this guy would not even be taken serious. No, in a sane world this guy would be looked at as a lunitic. Because his goals are to stop deportationin in America of people who have commited crimes, and who don’t belong here.
Racism I say, well these Latins have not seen racism. They are just useing the very unfurtunate climate of Americas insane present culture to their advantage. They don’t worry about walking into white areas, or worry about being killed by a white. These folks are the real racist with their constant attacks of white America. And they succed by just calling any white man defending his nation from illegal immigrants a racist.
I am rembere every day by reading the news who the racist are.
I remember that 320,000 whites have been killed or kicked out of Zimbabwe. I remember that 1 million whites had to flee South Africa and that 150,000 whites have been killed sense 1994. I remember how many whites feel unsafe in their own countires in Europe because of non-whites. I also remember that well over 50,000 whites have been killed in America sense segregation ended in the late 1960s by blacks. I don’t care what these racist black and latinos have to say. I also remember that as many whites killed by blacks, latinos have killed just as many whites on our border.
There has been a war waged on every white nation for the past 70 years. It started with Nazi Germany and Italy, it then moved on to America, Zimbabwe and South Africa. It is now being felt in Australia and Europe. What will it take for whites to realize in every nation whites are sliping into minorite. That in every nation whites are being killed and feeling the crime waves of non-whites. Who started it the Jews, our selves are or we whites being perpuosly being erased from this earth by the otehr races? Only time will tell, and I don’t wnat to wait any longer to see if I am correct. We must unite because we are the global minority, and we are being attacked threw media, crime and immigration.

Quoted from above, with slight revision:
“Our goal is to bring peace to the streets,” ]Al Capone] said. “Put your weapons down and come to a table to talk peace.”
[Capone], 31, said he is the [“Capo Crimini”] or leader of all members of his gang in [Chicago] and had clearance from national [mafia] leaders in [New York] to “build something beautiful out here.”
Capt. John Wolfe, commander of the Greensboro Police Department’s gang enforcement unit, said [Capone] had never been in touch with the gang unit about his goals, but Wolfe supports what [Capone] says he is trying to achieve.
“He says his mission is for peace and nonviolence, he wants people to lay down their guns, that’s exactly the same as our mission,” Wolfe said. “If his intention is legitimate, we’re going to support him.”

Uhm…Latin Kings is a Hispanic gang, that originated in NY with Puerto Ricans, they don’t let blacks Americans join.
-Actually the Latin Kings started in the Humboldt Park neighborhood on Chicago’s west side. They were basically a racist Puerto Rican gang that was started to “protect their neighborhood” from blacks. Presently, the Latin Kings recruit many non-Hispanics. In my old neighorbood, there were a sizeable number of whites in the ranks and even some blacks and Arabs. As a kid I always wondered why they kept the “Latin” in their name. I wonder if the North Carolina faction is as “diverse”…

In other words: all gangs comprised of minorities (are there any that aren’t?) are encouraged to consolidate their violent efforts and direct them against the evil White Man who is — God Forbid! — trying to enforce the laws that his government has properly enacted.
Even when they profess to “do good”, these gangs only know lawlessness and disregard of the rules.
Posted by Kevin at 12:16 PM on July 6
Just who is racist? This so called “fight against racism” seems to be directed against whites. A racist, at least by definition in America, is a white person. I wonder what activity this latino/black alliance should engage in to fight “racism”? Race riots and naked violence are probably on the table.
This takes me back to 1992 when Sister Souljah exhorted blacks to take a day off from killing each other and to kill whites instead. Bill Clinton, to his credit, rebuked Souljah but most blacks defended her comments. Evidence of an imminent interracial conflict between white, brown and black is all around us.

EUREKA! I just “knew” these gang members were not the bloodthirsty vile killers the media makes them out to be. They’re just modern-day Robbing Hoods, stealing from Americans to give to those poor, oppressed victims of racism we think of as criminal illegal aliens.
Why not round them up, borrowing a page from the feds, and lock them up in a Guantanamo-style environment for a decade or two. If only to get them off the streets and give them time to let the “truce” take effect.

I got into a bit of an argument over illegal immigration on a blog site recently with a fool who was determined not to see what’s going on. The horrendous amount of crime, by illegal immigrants and by the spawn of illegal immigrants.
Latino gangs are a problem here in Houston, too. Not that the liberal fools would ever admit it. A female gang-banger stabbed another teenage gang member to death last year. Over some utterly idiotic cause. Gang members steal, pilfer, mug and rob innocent people, thankfully most of them being non-Whites.
Start copying as much printed documentation on Hispanic crime in our country — send a stack of photocopies to your Congressional reps, to your state governor and state legislators. We have to force our caring public officials to take note. These shysters are in a state of denial, since the employers of illegal aliens(corporate and business entities) are the major campaign contributors for the aforementioned shysters claiming to heed and be responsive to the collective will of American citizens and voters.

They talk about these gangs as if they were important heads of foreign countries, this is the United States, they are not dignitaries they are criminals no different in many ways from the criminals we send our Great Young Men and Women to fight and die for, thousands of miles away. why aren’t these groups treated for what they are and what they are doing? They are at war with the people of Our Country yet no soldiers protect our own. WHY?

Super Dave: Thanks for mentioning the Whitey hating Souljah.She is by far the worst Whitey hater that I am aware of.Other rappers rap about killing Whitey, but I think most of them are not as bad as their words indicate, but Souljah really is sincere about her hatred of Whitey.I wish you could have heard the tape recorded conversation with her that was made in 1988.It was really chilling.

1 - I wouldn’t be at all surprised that someone from George Soros’s camp paid this guy a visit (after establishing safe contact through email first) and promised them money with no strings as long as they got the “message” out. It wouldn’t surprise me at all.
2 - These folks are in Gangs because their Families don’t do the job. The Families are SO dysfunctional they have to form Gangs to get what they are supposed to get at home, ie; a sense of value, their own and their societies.
3 - We can’t defend ourselves for pretty much the same reason. Our Families aren’t in very good shape either.
Conclusion?
Maybe, just maybe, the Family is the source of many of our current problems. Not the ABSOLUTE source, or the ONLY source, but an important one. Arguably the most important one.
And if that can’t be fixed, well….
