Yeah... To say that people dont have a choice as to pull the trigger or not really puzzled me but hey, Dude is entitled to his opinionIt is as simple as not doing it any longer.
Damn Bruh? Dude must of pissed you off in another life or some shit?No need for that.
I'm going to be out in a minute.
I live in LA. I know better than to believe this fairy tale my man gave y'all.
Your chances of survival are better off being PROPHET MUHAMMAD and walking into the knesset. Asking for peace and a PALESTIAN state.
Than the story he told.
Stop that bullshit right now!
No, you was not in Roll'in 40's hood with no other rival crab neighborhood hat on.
And it was no funk other than words, stop the BGOL theatrics. They would have tore your crab-ass, groupie roll'in 60's fan-boy ass a new ass-hole.
Anybody in LA, CA know the funkies and the sissy's got major beef.
Why is suckers always lying?
Damn Jimmy Hat. That boi Bumbay laying the verbal harassment on you somewhat proper like.![]()
HmmmI think a lot of gangs are actually ran by the police, who usually threaten those in gangs with the most influence with jail time if he dont follow thier orders...
Hmmm
While I definitely agree there are systematic and social-economic problems that have to be addressed that have been the root cause of this issue, at what point do we stop laying on that as the whole excuse and start to make progress though.
Thats just my position bruh...
Exactly. People who propose this analysis miss the point entirely. Gangs dont exist because of personal choices, gangs are the product of a number of social forces.
Poor neighborhoods, bad schools, violent cops, racist society, lack of decent oppurtunity, mixed in with some self-hate and them personal choices make themselves. Further, how does one join a gang when aint no gangs in the neighborhood? aint like motherfuckers is hopping on the bus across town for an hour to get put on the hood. The gang is right outside their front door. The gang is making life unbearable for them if they DONT join. The drugs and the drug money is right outside. The guns are right fucking outside!!! When you grow up in the ghetto and you follow the path of least resistance you become a criminal, because it is literally easier to do than anything else in your neighborhood. All of the infrastructure is already there in place for you.
What are a bunch of uneducated, unemployed disrespected, self-hating people going to do with all of their free time? Like, they've got to do something with all that free time, right? I mean these are just basic questions, and observations. I could go on but I wont.
It's not cuz of "colors"
Dude, you getting all emotional and antagonistic really doesn't mean a damn thing to me. You gotta think what you want to think, and do what you want to do. You have your message I have mine, I'm speaking from my experiences and the change that I've seen. If you want your whole platform to continuously be blaming everybody else, not realizing that that's also projecting a slave mentality then you do what you want to do. I'm not going to sit here and go back and forth with you because we don't agree or see eye-to-eye. While you're sitting here getting all emotional, next week I'll be attending a party celebrating the college entrance of a former gang banger who threw the mentoring of my organization has turned his life around. Keep clicking the keys brother, and I'll keep celebrating change. No one said that there are not issues on both sides, but to neglect one because of the other one is about as idiotic as one can get, and all it does is teach bondage. Stay bound dude.Yall niggas so tired with that weak ass rhetoric it's just fucking stupid as fuck and I'm tired of it to be honest.
So extremely tired of it
HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE.
HOLD OURSELVES ACCOUNTABLE
period.
You think majority of these dudes want to be in a gang?
If they grew up in a neighborhood where everybody was a fucking lumberjack...guess what most of these dudes would be?
The social conditions of their environment which is NOT BECAUSE OF THEM or people who look like them, is what leads them down that path.
You lock the dad up on a weed charge, and take the kids away from the mom for the same thing, and you go to a group home with other kids who feel unloved watched over by counselor's doing their best to take care of 80 kids at a time, feeling hopeless and then see 1 person making money and living something of a life you might want to, while doing the things you hoped you could do one day and offering a family for the first time in your life what's going to happen?
And that was in the 60's and 70's
by now most are joining because they are carrying on the tradition... 3rd generation because that's just what their family does...
Why?
I hate ignoring everything to drive home a tunnel vision point.
YES we need to do better in certain aspects.
we would if white supremacy didn't exist.
The cac's in new hampshire got hit with heroin hard.
The government swooped in and said we're giving you 9 figures for treatment of the addicts
we're going to not overpolice your neighborhood
we're going to stop locking up lower level and non violent drug offenders
and we're going to make your community great again.
now compare that to the fucking black hoods you see. which part of that help did we get?
and why isn't the government saying no, fuck that, YOU gotta do better on your own stop blaming US for the shit we did?
Exactly.
This was attempted years ago.Sounds good.
Not close to the systematic problem that causes the environment for this to happen.
I wish it was as simple as just deciding not to do it though.
Yall niggas so tired with that weak ass rhetoric it's just fucking stupid as fuck and I'm tired of it to be honest.

Nigga why the fuck would I lie about being pressed by some little nigga on MLK & Normandie...? Half of these cats ain't even from the west so it's not like they even know how active it gets.
I don't have to pump fake for the Internet. I told your faggit ass for years now where you can find me cuzzo.
Slauson & Vermont

True
I realized when I got back to the whip that I gotta be even more mindful of surroundings and what I wear or even dress baby wavy in. It was like 5:30 or 6 o'clock on a Friday so you already know the niggas was outside.
I didnt pay him no mind and kept it pushin...It's a strict no hat zone when I ride through the city now
It's not cuz of "colors"
That NY hat is something the crabs aka crips wear. A lot of crabs identify with the neighbor hood car...Or a conglomeration several crip gangs. A lot of roll'in sets are in the neightborhood car but not all. And some in the neighborhood car are not even from roll'in sets.
The NY on the hat is supposed to symbolize:
or
- "young neighborhood"
All these CALI mutha fucka hate "THE APPLE" but walking around with a yankee hat.
- "your neighborhood"
I bet money that dude was not over there walking around with that hat on. And it certainly did not go down like he said.
Stop that bullshit right now!
No, you was not in Roll'in 40's hood with no other rival crab neighborhood hat on.
