I don't think it should be particularly surprising. Inglewood is 4% white. (Although that percentage is increasing as the city rapidly gentrifies) For better or for worse people are predisposed to vote for elected officials that have the same ethnicity. I was somewhat surprised when I looked at the neighborhood by neighborhood results from the last California gubernatorial primary. You can use whether a precinct voted for Newsom, Villaraigosa, or Chiang as a pretty good proxy for that area's racial demographics. Anyways, Butts is mostly known for being a grifter who gives 6 figure jobs to his mistresses and multimillion dollar contracts to his relatives. I think it's just regular corruption, I don't particularly buy the gang argument (although maybe that explains why he drove his SUV over an LAPD officer a few years ago)
