The last sentence in this section makes no sense: "In July 2005, Watts returned to the news when a police SWAT team accidentally killed 18-month-old Suzy Peña who was held hostage by her father at a used-car lot in the area. Reaction in the community was divided between condemnation of Peña's father and calls for disciplinary action against the SWAT team, but surprisingly the division was not along racial lines: black and Latino activists could be found in both camps which in around 62% Hispanic, 32% African-American, 0.27% Asian, 8% White and 18% mixed races."
Can someone (preferrably the original poster) fix it to clarify what those statistics mean?
I have been to Spain. The people there were white people. I believe that "Hispanics" are white people, too. Racial mumbo-jumbo permeates Wikipedia. GhostofSuperslum 21:44, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
In some other articles, authors are careful to mention -- after the percentages by race -- who among those different races consider themselves "Hispanic." In other words, Hispanics can be white, black, Asian, or of any other race 65.167.98.2 21:36, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
Which means hispanic is a cultural construct not a racial construct.
Also, there are towns in spain that are predomanitlly black, dating back from the hundreds of years when the moors of africa ruled spain or should i say 'andulasia', which was what spain was called during the moor rule. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.160.134.129 ( talk) 08:18, August 20, 2007 (UTC)
A Hispanic is mixed-race. Usually of European, African and Native American (of Mexico, Caribbean, and South America) It's kinda hard to categorize 'Hispanic' being there are so many different types. Azn Clayjar 05:13, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
How can an area with about 22 000 inhabitants have over 20 000 homicide in 15 years? How can there be anyone left? One of those 2 numbers has to be wrong Observer31 06:24, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
Um, no -- Watts was not the home of the first subway in the Americas; that would be Boston. I'm removing this statement until it can be sourced. -- Tkynerd ( talk) 00:29, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
After much Googling, I was still unable to verify the fact that Tyrese was born on 113th Street in Watts. If there's a reliable source that says so, please add it back to the article with a citation. Thanks! Matt Fitzpatrick ( talk) 23:36, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
Regarding this diff. Are you claiming this sentence refers to this: legitimate theater? That's about English law. What is an accredited performance in the United States? There are no accrediting agencies for performances. It really doesn't make sense, and if it's true, which I doubt, it needs a source. And even if it has a source it belongs in the body before it gets put in the lead. What's the accredited theater in Watts, specifically?— alf laylah wa laylah ( talk) 17:27, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

It reads: "With this new growth, Watts was incorporated as a separate city, taking its name from the first railroad station, Watts Station that had been built in 1904 on 10 acres of land donated by the Watts family"
I believe southern California to be especially hallowed for the NWO occultists. That it esp. also involves enslaved black folk. That the Watts family most likely link back to Sir John Watts (whom's name appears on the bookplate of the 1651 book LEVIATHAN) and Oliver Cromwell and the crypto-Jewish infiltration and takedown and takeover of the British royals, hence the eftsoon slavery of black folk and Irish folk by dint of the divine bloodlines of the two aforesaid peoples. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.0.191.127 ( talk) 19:56, 18 February 2019 (UTC)
