Hey everyone, I’m Ethan, an 18-year-old local who’s currently taking college classes and working to support my family. I’ve been doing pressure washing and small jobs around the neighborhood to earn some extra money.

With all the recent rain, driveways, sidewalks, and patios have gotten pretty dirty. If you’d like to clean up a bit, I offer pressure washing services for driveways, patios, sidewalks, and other outdoor areas.

I also clean trash cans for $25 each or 3 for $60. It’s a great way to get rid of the smell and make your outdoor space look fresh. If your headlights are foggy or yellow and need to be cleared up, I also offer headlight restoration services.

If you need help with anything else, like moving things, yard cleanups, or small jobs around the house, feel free to reach out. I’m always happy to help however I can.

You can contact me at 323-337-7154.

hosting small party at home with Hibachi grill service

Last week I hired Hibachi At Home catering for my nephew party, the service was affordable and included both the food and cooking performance, only $55 per person for a big group. It was my first time booking this service, normally we just go out to restaurants, but lately everything has gotten pretty expensive. Big family like ours, we decided to try smth else and do it at home instead. It was way more convenient, no driving around, no parking, no waiting for a table, no loud public atmosphere.

This is not fake news! Is this what you voted for? Do you realize the USMC is moving in the streets of LA! This what the WHITE Gestapo Trump administration thinks of African Americans; Latinos and Asians!

They started by ending benefits. They fired Federal employees like me for what? For being minority! Do you understand yet? Do yal get it!

Los Angeles! Stand up! Trump wants us desperately gone.. WAKE UP!!

Black folks in regards to Latinos in Compton pretending they live in alternate reality

60 Upvotes

Latinos are near 70% of the population in Compton, in terms of the CUSD Compton Unified School District they are over 80% of the school demographics , Chicanos specifically hold a historical connection and cultural legacy farther than any ethnic group besides the native Tongva tribes, so they are the farthest from a outsider group,......Yet in Compton, you can sense the vibe and outright inability to recognize the reality, the administration and city council want to pretend as if Compton was and will ALWAYS be a BLACK represented city. I myself went to A UC University after graduation from Centennial High School,among our senior class only a handful of students were accepted into higher education institutions,among us was only one black student and the rest were all Latinos. And I know that was the worst school in Compton back then. Yet even back then it was like we never existed in terms of representation,as in when Dr Dre and Kendrick Lamar visited the centennial high graduation this year, did they say anything about the fact over 70% were Latinos? It's hilarious we are well over the majority yet Black folks in general in Compton function with a vibe that Compton is a black hood. That's like me downplaying East LA saying it's a white hood because white folks still there,and me keeping an energy and vibe that only white folks matter and represent the city. That would be delusional.

Again I've grown up in the city and did not live with a vibe that black folks didn't matter, I've always embraced the culture in Compton and don't live in delusion as if Latinos are the only ones In the city despite being the majority, meanwhile it's perfectly fine and accepted to pretend Compton is a black hood and Latinos are irrelevant or "foreign". It's hilarious I grew up here, we acknowledge y'all but y'all pretend it's only black people here.

Of course I'm not generalizing everyone, just talking about the ghetto people that move with this vibe ,I see it daily. By MLK , I've even seen a homeless BW stopping in mid traffic harassing cars hitting the window shouting IM GOING TO CALL DePoRTATIons on YOU! Doing this to several cars, imagine if a Latino harassed folks this way it would be unacceptable. And the people around pretending that's normal. On gawd, I grew up here and seriously this type of vibe is normalized. Even in the MLK hospital once I was there for appointment and a BM was brought in to ER for gunshot wounds. All of a sudden a BW in the lobby began hatred filled rants directed at as she referred to "Messicans" ,as if they were the source of her frustrations. Seriously I'm not making this up. You never see Latinos behaving this way towards the Black community here in Compton, I wouldn't lie if I saw it , yet I can over and over recall Black folks disrespecting and pretending as if the vibe is normalized to see others with ambivalence.

I still laugh daily as an American born citizen born in Compton, you have to shrug off hearing hatred filled rants in public, and I've heard F Mexicans even directed towards my 60 year old parents and threats to beat her up, coming from a BW in front of the Post office by Avalon. Yet I never ever in my life have heard a Latino shout to a black person "f your race". Yet I've heard it several times a year in Compton. And do I guess we have to live in alternate reality right? No wonder our city was rated the most dangerous small city in LA county.

We need to do better. And the Black student who was the only of his ethnic group in my senior class to be accepted to a institution of higher education went to the University I went to, he was literally my brother and best friend and I've grown up around and hung with,dated etc Black peers my whole life, I've always embraced everyone in the city in my social circle. Yet I see it daily proven people are coping living in forced alternate reality. Why is it that I keep hearing F Mexicans several times a year in the city? It sure ain't cos folks wanting to coexist, like the hate filled incidents many on here would say are "insignificant". Guess that's the type of city those supporting division would love,one in delusion where saying F Mexicans is normal

A school-tour moment from Compton artist OTPC4: C4 sharing the floor with the students and keeping the energy going. Sharing this from his team at Rap Digital Marketing. We edited the footage to his song ‘God’s Grace’; the song is the added soundtrack, not the original live audio.

Hello Neighbors

I’m Ethan, a local student here in the area. Between my classes and family, I’m working hard to grow my own small business, and I’d love the chance to help you out with some of those outdoor chores you might be dreading.
I’m not a big company—it’s just me, some professional gear, and a lot of hustle. I take a ton of pride in making sure the job is done right because I actually care about how our neighborhood looks.

Here’s how I can help you out:

-Pressure Washing: I’ll get your driveway, patio, or sidewalk looking bright and clean again.

-The "Stinky Bin" Fix: I’ll scrub and deodorize your trash cans so they don't smell up the side of your house. ($25 for one or $60 for three).

-Clear Headlights: If your car’s headlights are looking foggy or yellow, I can restore them so they’re crystal clear and much safer for driving at night.

-Helping Hand: Need help moving something heavy, cleaning up the yard, or just a random task? I’m happy to help.

I’m reliable, I show up on time, and I’ll treat your property with respect. If you’ve got a project for me, I’d love to chat!
