PartIcipating in a gang is some of the most c00n shyt you could do

[MalikX]

When I was 12, 13, in the hood no nikkas were thinking about fukking college, HBCU's, or frats

Non-black kids are thinking about college at 13 though Sounds like we raising our kids wrong

When did this suddenly become a "black" thing? Plenty of black kids do think about college though. I'm talking bout the ones in the hood

i'm in a gang and just came across this thread i want to add my .02 cents. i was gang banging for like 12 years and i didnt know any better. As a youngin not having parents there and being surrounded by my cousins that were gang members didnt help the situation also adding to the fact the environment i grew up in i thought it was just the right thing to do. where I'm from you either choose sides and u deal with the consequences later. i'm not saying is the right thing to do but someone of ya corny mothafckas just be talking just to talk. certain people didnt have a choice and felt it was the right decision. luckily now I'm doing way better for myself and grew out of it. even tho i dnt rep anything I'm still in it. some of ya looking at it from the outside looking in and is cool cuz ya didnt have to live that life but just shut the fukk up and stop forming an opinion about something ya don't know anything about acting like is some c00n shyt .

have you done anything with your gang that you would consider pro black?

 

[Kenny West]

when you think of gangs have you heard of them doing pro black shyt or anything positive for that matter? that's why i grew out of that mindset and did better for myself but since idk what angle you trying to get at i'll let it be.

I'm just making my point. I'm sure you and I would both agree that as a grown ass man you would look back at it all as a mistake.

But that's why ing for it gotta stop. On some honest mature shyt

i mean obviously it was a mistake i was a 12 year old kid with no guidance and surrounded buy dumb shyt constantly. All I'm saying is you cant categorize a whole group of people that joined gangs as c00ns without knowing why they did it. i mean theres certain people that join gangs for protection because u have to or getting picked at school or in the neighborhood. but i just gave my opinion mothafckas going to think whatever they want

Nah you were weak like the rest of them dumb nikkas.I grew up in chicago in the 90's when shyt was poppin way worse than it is now and never joined a gang cuz I already knew what the end game was.I kicked it around mad gangbanging nikkas but never joined despite being asked by several of em.That gang shyt is divide & conquer just like whitey wants it the weak minded nikkas like you and several thousands of other young black males too oblivious to see it.

 

[god shamgod]

it is what it is. you talking crazy tough over the computer so i'll let it be. you got ur own opinion and i got mine. i lived that life and learned from it and i can help other people overcome certain shyt.

:jordanlaff: yea whatever.I'd say this directly in your face and you wouldn't do shyt

 

[Cynical Thoughts]

The usual suspects in here caping. Everybody I know in a gang is doing it cause they want to.

And the ones that actually needed money, once they got rims I knew they no longer needed to be in a gang.

Stop caping, gangs ain't shyt brehs, fukk them all and fukk you if you support them.

Lol," gangs where created to protect the community." Once I here that I know you full of shyt. Cause that ship been left the dock.

lol okay . there's no point talking tough . whenever your in jersey just let me know.

 

[King Poetic]

I understand both sides because i grew up in inglewood around all bloods and some of the dudes i seen join was guys with no family.. moms out there giving ass away and their pops was gang members... then u had some who joined for protection because they was by themselves and was afraid of getting jumped

well i can say i seen about 80% of them die in front of their house, sitting in jail for life or pcp out on the streets.

i have cousins sitting in jail over gang shyt.... i'm just glad i was one of them to escape that life... yeah i had to fight on my own and escape gun shots on my own, but i'm living my life without worried everyday about a color

the gang life is stupid, but as long as u have social media blowing it up these young fools will follow

Understand the argument but there's so many different situations of why people are in gangs. Sheltered people wouldn't understand

What's not to understand? Are you in a gang because you need money or not?

And even if you are in it for the money, it's still c00ning because there are broke nikkas in the hood everyday who don't resort to this type shyt. Why arent all broke people in hoods/ghettos in gangs? According to all the hood experts here my father should be in a gang, still be in Texas, and banging given his circumstances growing up.

yall keep saying "you don't understand" when I think everyone here is aware of the complexities that our communities deal with. And being aware of the complexities allows you to understand that the bottom line is gang life ultimately only benefits white supremacy (c00ning). Being aware of the complexities allows you to understand that to move forward, we have to understand the faults of our own people alongside the faults of those of the fairer skin.

Yes. I'll add, how are u corny or lame or sheltered if you don't give a fukk about, castigate or don't associate with gang culture?

Why the fuk is this shyt glorified? Gang members in my neighborhood were some of the worse, seediest mofos out there.

And I'm sorry but they weren't "struggling". Standing around on the corner watching people move into their homes and waiting to steal shyt or bullying my students on their way homes to be apart of that sick shyt, or raping chicks into that bullshyt.

GTFOH.

There's a lotta false fukking dignity we give to that lifestyle even tho it's toxic as fukk to our community. Meanwhile I know people who wake up at 5 in the morning, put in 12hrs of work just to scrape by and they gotta worry about the safety of their lives because these ignant fukks can only be counted on to rob, kill, and sell drugs or fukk up a neighborhood. Fukk them. I can't stand gangs. They're almost as bad as white people in my mind and yes they are c00ns. The worse kind of c00ns. The type to guilt other blks for not wanting to be pulled into that bullshyt.

Since when was gangs all about just money

And I don't how many times posters in here have told you that every situation is different. There isn't just one solution that solves everything. Bring the gangs together in your area (if you have any) and see what they have to say on the subject

So you Literally have nothing to respond to my post.. ok

If you aren't in a gang for money and in it for superficial ass reasons then you're a fukking c00n. I don't give a fukk what reason you have for joining, ESPECIALLY if it wasn't out of desperation to feed your children.

Nobody here said there's one solution to this issue. Stop with the red herrings.

Telling me to get the gangs together, for what? My opinion would stand regardless. Implying gang members would assault me for my views does NOTHING for your point, you're aware of that right?
