Bloods, Crips, Hoovers, call a truce in Raleigh, NC

[theflyest]

There's gangs in North Carolina

Good on them though

I think a more interesting question is what states don't have sets

 

[pete clemenza]

theres hoovers in nc?

 

[Thegospel]

You see through it too huh? Oh well. I won't get into detail why this is all a show. I guess props to them for trying even though it's impossible.

Clowning NC crips and bloods is cool, but let's get back to talking about black unity tho, brehs.

Not clowning them, as I said, I'm glad to hear this. I only mentioned NC because i used to live there and that's where this truce occurred.

Some ppl in here are saying it's "for show" but as I said, it's a good look and definitely a step in the right direction. This is great and my hope is that it will spread even farther. I don't think any of us expect this to magically end all gang rivalry but just the fact that these guys were willing to make this attempt is a good thing. It's definitely a start.

I'm all for this. I've caught flack on here just for saying that i wish more black men would start seeing ourselves as being on the same team, so we can compete against other teams. Lol i've been called a c00n for that.

Something like this could possibly spark something in the minds of other black men as well

Any deviation from the "other black men are the enemy" mindset is good and we shouldn't knock it.

I honestly don't believe all these sets are connected to L.A. Lists like the one posted in this thread are part of the reason why I don't buy all that "L.A. gangs set up shop here" nonsense. Yeah, I'm sure a few people touched down, but most of this shyt gotta be made up. 30s, 40s, 60s, Hoover, Grape Street? Seems like nikkas just pulled some popular names from the internet. I don't even need to talk about the UBN sets. Certain places in California don't even have crips and bloods, but they managed to make it almost everywhere else in the country?

Yea all that "LA cats just come and set up shop" shyt is nosexistant. All it really takes is one cat who has some rank to come thru and get down with local cats who already hold weight. Cats want to be put down because the Bs and Cs(ect) shyt has been glamorized so much. A lot of these young dudes don't even know who the "big homie" is. Cats grew up watching these gangs constantly referred to in the music and movies. Like somebody else said, Durham used to be divided by hoods now cats are claiming B and C instead of west end, south side, east Durham, ect. Don't get it twisted tho, they take this shyt serious and they don't give a fukk. Durham always been wild tho even before the gang shyt. Durham is known up and down the I95 on the east coast.

damn, so Little Brother wasnt lying

 

[John Hull]

Damn. The amount of dustiness in this thread is alarming. nikkas in bad shape out here.

 

[Tommy Sheppard]

it's bloods and crips everywhere now, idk why nikkas are so suprised about this.

That's good hopefully it last long. We had/have shyt like this go down here in LA. But the shyt did not last because the lapd would do undercover shooting and spread lies. Also the lapd would start fake beefs to kill the truths.

If these anecdotes about police going undercover and shooting black males boosting up the murder rate gets founded as actual evidence by whistleblowers. The anger that would take root.

 

[UserNameless]

don't forget to mention Kinston too...

Same in the California prison system where the guard's union holds ridiculous influence. They're known to instigate racial conflict to support their budget along with extra hours including overtime pay. Basically they get paid more when whites, blacks, browns, and others bang on on one another or riot.

It's gangs everywhere breh.

Bloods and Crips on the East Coast are almost always a joke.
They may be gangbanging, but they're no descendents of Tookie Williams and Raymond Washington.

Durham is like, what you'd get if you took all of those hood Eastern NC towns, rolled them into one city, and dropped it off in the middle of NC
But out of all my years I've spent in NC in various cities, the majority of those years were in Durham, and that's where I've made some of the best of friends, had some of the best of times. Durham is what you make it. The people are so real and genuine. They're not like any other people in NC. And as long as you're real and genuine you should be fine.

Unless you catch a stray

i don't understand why people in other states wanna be Bloods and Crips

don't be an imitator be an innovator

rep your own hood and make your own thing
