The part at 9:30 gave me chills

Living in L.A i know a lot of peeps who think the ''gangster'' lifestyle is so cool. But some don't realize just how bad the issue really is out here & that innocent people of all ages die for stupid reasons like race or what color you are wearing

While I understand the conditions that lead to this, these gangs are a plague on our society and need to be obliterated.

Some people on here have argued that is a condition of enviroment, and that some people are simply protecting there neighboorhood's.

But when innocent people.. even kid's are being hsot & killed, that is bullshit being killed cause of the color of your skin, or what you are wearing or just where you happen to walk. It's insane that someone could end another humans life over such bullshit thing's

It really is and which is why they need to be obliterated because there is no reasoning or dealing with them in any logical way.

I doubt many will actually comment in this

Urgh, this stuff pisses me off...Senseless. All just to feel like you belong to something. Urgh.

only race exists--the human race.

colors-false idolhood.

kids should be tought to be self-confidant and to idolize more positive role models. I find rather odd, because i know kids who know how gangster will end up but their just apathetic about their own life. i think it might some form of depression or sociopathy? however if you were to reared in povert-stricken environment perhaps your idols would be liminated, hence why i personally feels that kids should look to themselves in order to combat the negative aspect of life, by the way, i believe that racism has a lot to do with this whole gang war.

that is a lovely thought BUT so not true.

no matter the reason race will always exist and as long as it does

racism will exist. as long as words like MINORITY exist when speakin

of any people that are not bein counted, as in in a vote of some kind,

however when countin a community of people as a minority even when they

out number those who call them that, or when it is so ingrained in the people themselves,

this is racism and it exist because there are races and races are seperated by "physical

traits preceived to be unique to a people."

kids should be taught all kinds of things, and they are,

but just as fast as they are taught one thing they are given

conterdictory information causin them to make un-experienced choices

accordin to theier surroundings.

the more educated the surroundins, the more accepting of all people.

BUT even then there are racial biases thatr are there simply because

of the languages we speak...

I didn't claim that racism did not exist. I stated that the term race is a concept made up those at the top to oppressed the ones they feel are not the same as them. there enlies the contradiction of it all, race does not exist but racism does.

Yeah gangs are one of the most destructive forces not only to the United States but to the world. You got people in England, South Africa, New Zealand, Samoa, Tonga and elsewhere that affiliate with California gangs(mainly crips and bloods). That's in addition to the Hispanic gangs in Mexico and El Salvador.

As for the US.

When you take into account the Latino(sur, norte, latin kings), white(aryan, skinhead, nazi, hells angels), Asian (TRG, asian boy's,wah ching's)and other black gangs(people and folk nations) then the gang problem in America is a serious, serious problem.

I know of a lot of lives that have been wrecked by gang bangin. About 4 years ago one of my cousin's got shot by the Police because he decided that he wanted to live his life as a knuckleheaded gun toting gangster. The dummy was running from the police and his gun fell out of his pocket. When he tried to pick it up the police shot him. Thank God he survived. In hindsight that situation is kinda funny but i know people that have died, have hurt other people or are incarcerated because of gangs and that is sad.

As far as the racial stuff. Sad. I feel for the Blacks and Mexicans(and other races) in So Cal that don't buy into that racial garbage. Some of them are being held hostage not only by gangs of the same race as them but by gangs that will kill because of the color of another persons skin.

That racial stuff was dictated to the street gangs by the prison gangs and until its dealt with within the prisons, then i don't think things will change on the streets. What most of that racial stuff comes down to is the control of the drug market. The M gangs in So Cal control a big chunk of the drug market but they want more. There's a big gang problem here in Nor Cal but not like So Cal and for the most part the Nortenos aren't racist like Surenos are. In prison the Blacks(north and south) and Nortenos click up and the whites(north and south) and Surenos click.

I don't know the solution to the gang problem in the US but i do know that it's going to get worse before it gets better.

i didn't claim that you claimed anything...

race does exist and it's NOT just the human race.

until it BECOMES just the human race

there will always be racism.

wheather one thinks lowly or highly of one

because of their race, it's a racist thought.

so i may have mis-spoke at some previous point

in times gone by, BUT bein truthful...

the authorities act like a bunch of fairies with this lot, i say blame the police
