While the spark was a particular incident of police brutality, the reason the Watts Riots of '65 occurred can be traced back to the closing of many of the factories and plants in the L.A. area that had previously employed the prejudicially "zoned-in" residents of Watts and Compton.
Before those closings and massive job loss, the area was thriving and each generation was doing better than the one preceding.

yes.. but burried in those communities were CIA-heroin distribution networks transporting Vietnamese heroin and using black and mexican party crews to sell it. In Watts it was the Athens and the Pirus, who became the Bloods in reaction to the rising of the Crips, who began to sell heroin for the CIA after infiltrators shut down the Black Panthers. Between 1965-1970 the Panthers had the youth doing good, the LAPD reported NO CRIME in Watts area! Kids were busy in soup kitchens and afterschool programs to do any dirt.. but then the CIA shut it all down cuz Panthers were hating on heroin sells.. the crips are the little brothers and little homies of all the panthers that got arrested or assassinated in that time. they were weak willed and succumbed like many panthers to the allure of drug dealing. Then these party crews evolved into gangs through drug dealing for the CIA. Originally it was heroin, but as we all know, heroin is a serious not a casual drug, it gets hard to sell to new clients after awhile... so the CIA experimented with selling PCP, a recently banned anesthesia..
in the early to mid-1970s PCP was FUCKING UP the streets of Watts and Compton the way we think of crack in the 80s. lots of people were shermed out, and as dangerous a drug as it is, you can imagine how destructive its abuse was to the community and family structures..
PCP was practice for cocaine and crack, which the CIA discovered AFTER their involvement in Peru in the 1960s.. it replaced heroin because as we all know, cocaine is a social drug, people are more willing to try and use it than heroin.. it is the weed of hard drugs.. damned CIA..
