#Crips Ghetto

[trapstar89]

[punchyfeeley]

whatcha working on lately? what cool new analysis are you writing? what are your deep thoughts yet to be written?

When writers you admire ask what you’re writing <3

I just finished (for now- I think I’ll go back and break it down into something new eventually) a paper on Crip and Jew Temporalities or in less obnoxious academic language: the way we think about and experience time as Jews and Disabled people. One day I’ll write a more fun paper about just the trippy weirdness or even all the lovely and liberating facets of Jew and crip time, but this time I found myself (understandably) wrapped up in how the ways we think about time and our place within it can keep us back from liberation.

Because this is how my brain works, here is how it began:

“It is the mythic South that is barren, and the present South that clings to those myths. The South of which I write is far from physically barren, marked by its lush humidity. There is heat here, and wetness, and where these exist, life will also be, and where life, spirit…Regeneration cannot occur through arid myths...Neither will cultivation occur, though, from under the mastery by poor whites, as Mencken feared, for privileging dries the marrow from within the branches. The verdant South is of its own wetness; it is as pungent as the woods after a June rain.” From This Corner of Canaan by Reta Ugena Whitlock

"Israel has reinvented the ghetto, and embedded itself in the irrational exaltation of a mythical past. It perceives its future only in the intoxication of its strength, its proud isolation defended by tanks and fighter planes" From Revolutionary Yiddishland

"How can we wear the mantle of the martyred ghetto Jew? / We turned our backs on everything that brought our people through...But the thing you hate in others is the thing you hate in you...And we will all have to learn it anew / not only as a victim but a perpetrator too." From Daniel Khan's song "Jew in You"

"I am starting to worry that, too often, what comes after crip is a claim to innocence. In refusing the ableist stance that people are to blame for their illnesses and impairments...are we too easily making claims to innocence? Are we dismantling the structure of blame, or simply leaving it intact for others?" Alison Kafer, After Crip, Crip Afters

So I wrote about that. About time and how we imagine ourselves within it. About ideas of victimhood, innocence, and care predicated upon ideas of deservedness. If you or anyone else is interested in the paper, I'm happy to share. Though I recognize it is as my mother told me "a bit niche". Before this I wrote about Jewish rationalism, superstition, and misogyny which was arguably more niche? Anyway I genuinely wouldn't be writing about this if not for your writing so thank you again for that!

I wrote a bunch of short papers about nature vs society as a false dualism and racism, citizenship and the law. They're all interconnected and I'm thinking about salvaging them for parts and making something new.

The criticism of Angel Reese is an old but consistent story in sports. When white athletes are demonstrative, they’re playing with passion and showing their love of the game. When Black athletes reveal their feelings, they’re disgraceful and “classless.”

Black women receive especially harsh scrutiny when they show confidence, cockiness, or any other strong emotion. Serena Williams dealt with this throughout her entire career. Remember the pearl-clutching that occurred when the tennis legend did the “C-Walk”—on the grass court at Wimbledon, no less—after beating Maria Sharapova at the 2012 Olympics? Also known as the “Crip Walk,” the dance originated with the Los Angeles Crips gang in the 1970s before crossing over into popular culture. A lot of non-gang-affiliated Angelenos—including Williams, who grew up in Compton—do this dance as a tribute to the L.A. area. When the NBA player Brent Barry, who is white, did the C-Walk during the 2003 NBA All-Star Weekend’s three-point shooting contest, nobody accused him of irresponsibly promoting gang culture.

Reese has dealt with these double standards and hypocrisies throughout her career, even back in high school, when she was one of the top-rated players in the nation. On a website that covers women’s basketball, an opposing high-school coach questioned “celebrating a player (w god given height and talent) and zero humility or impulse control. As a female coach of female high school ballers, I find this behavior repulsive, unacceptable, unflattering and unnecessary. You can have swag while not acting like a punk. Highlight some other girls in the conference who aren’t as genetically gifted.”

In January, during LSU’s narrow 79–76 victory over Arkansas, Reese received a technical foul after blocking a shot with one hand while holding her shoe, which had come off, in the other. After the block, Reese stared down Arkansas’ Samara Spencer. The two exchanged words and Reese was given the penalty.

The spectacular play went viral, but an intense debate broke out among fans about Reese’s behavior—even though male players are often celebrated when they make similar moves and jeer their opponent. Despite the significant advancements women have made in sports, they are still sometimes told that it’s unseemly for them to be as aggressive and in-your-face as men.

Reese’s bold play and her appearance—she wears long hair and long lashes and carries herself unapologetically—has made her a target. “All year I was critiqued about who I was,” Reese told reporters after LSU’s championship victory. “I’m too hood, I’m too ghetto—y’all told me that all year. When other people do it, y’all don’t say nothing. This was for the girls that look like me.”

Black women are constantly stereotyped as overly aggressive and confrontational. A couple of days before the controversy with Reese unfolded, the University of South Carolina coach Dawn Staley, who is Black, scolded reporters for characterizing her team, most of whose members are Black, as bullies. It was as if she was forecasting what Reese was about to face. “We’re not bar fighters,” Staley said. “We’re not thugs. We’re not monkeys. We’re not street fighters. This team exemplifies how you need to approach basketball on the court and off the court … Some of the people in the media, when you’re gathering in public, you’re saying things about our team and you’re being heard.”

You are more powerful than you can possibly imagine, that is the mindset you must have, don't be tossed to and fro with the wind, stay focused, know 2 things will happen

1 nuclear fusion the trump tongue, the science of sleep dreams for in the decrease of thought is nuclear thought to put you to sleep or still the voices, it comes from within you know the ghetto the street talk.

2. Zero point energy aka Gabriel michael phanuel, quicken your mind think healed the velocity of your brain without effort for you do have a genius iq, and give honor to each angel accordingly like power banks and the more love around the better.

So as I said so many times, you go from a nuclear start to zero point, like gas from a lighter into a wonderful ciggaweed trip.

Remember airyana is as simple as believing in yourself but as powerful as understanding yes I could move all my fingers in amazing complexity just by sheer spirit, but all that is required is to move one finger with your mind, know your blood your anxiety don't give power to the scitz or double minded don't try to wrestle it with your arm either simply believe the power of a knowing* mustard seed,

Also

I commend my spirit into your hands

Make sure to balance your money, and remember smoke phallanx, when smoking like gripping your tongue with your teeth remember, the inhale is like the exhale just as important a little discomfort is just as powerful to send the signal to the mind as letting go, don't go overboard don't chase the high of the ciggaweed, speak to it your desire in knowing, the exhale is just as potent weigh your thoughts knowing absolutes of the light, wake yourself up stop drinking as you wish.

The cloud such a wonderful thing we can't open up for the unforgivable sin was committed calling the holy spirit a whole a thing to do with as you wished knowing christ is right in front of you. Was is is to come 2012s.

Remember the formulas of steel I gave you about that concerning your mountain body and its powers and meditate the cigg. Stand firm in your faith.

Get that money boys and always know and feel the high of being one with the light, remember scitz networks and analytics, aaa mco

Antimatter aids ariel....master cuts omega aka dandruff.

Remember the opposit is the fulfillment, the Lord's words for he forever lives is isaiah 11, in 2 days he shall restore us, only the lord with you matters, stay in the phalanx, be in heavens embrace at all times smoke in knowing, purity of believing with confidence, gentle, have no fellowship with the world and its ways, 300 Spartans and hold fast Leonidas thus 3000, whom the 7 heavens could barely contain thus 2012.

Remember what darth vader told me in a scitz, "Andre you've trained your blood well, now let me show them I am the crip" then I heard Dario laughing and saying that means theirs no such thing as crip, formulas are one thing but original thought fed by a certain creativity, theirs no such thing as original thought, when you turn scitz you realize that having your old man trained in a 1000 arts of ideas, you merely witness and labor it while trying to maintain and keep up with free thinking in all its merits in the scitz, even in dreams it is your old man as I saw today experimenting* in faith giving the original thought, when you dream you witness the idea of his word thus nuclear fusion to also liken unto sleep or daze without the energy drain but also be awaken and awake, to stab with a syringe withdraw blood give to others then kiss a girl an angel ariel and heal or zero point energy michael Gabriel phanuel.

Again no such thing as original thought life is a simulation an illusion, you just come to be and exist, you have only a certain amount of money it all adds up in eternity eventually you will come across the scitz, heaven is for real read your bibles and love and know who you are.

Great for the ciggaweed cure in the scitz 2, just 1nuclear fusion then 2zero point energy, just keep full sending it from syringe stab to kiss and you feel phenomenal clear.

Think of it like this,

You do 1 nuclear fusion cbd the donald trump tongue the angel stab dream science, feel the relaxation the high, think sleep rest the closing of eyes and at the same time total awareness eyes completely open and a message and your message has been recieved, bake in that for a puff or so, then thc zero point energy the angel kiss believe your a genius it's all in your reality your awakening your thinking elevated your eyes are scientific by instinct felt not a word in the mind, true purpose, u r a regular genius all supplying the powerbank Gabriel michael phanuel, then as your caught in the ecstatic self hype the electric awareness the twinge of the high, then think the Lord's last words and isaiah 11 cbn to ground you in living reality and safety riding the wave, also add some steel the Lord's wounds formulas cbc and incantation of protection like a magnetic pole to buff the incoming and glitches for dirt is bugs. A great high.

Give your best sheep.

Remember the 4th man in the fire that's because we pushed the car together we believed together not cough adding faith to see or force yourself to know if your in, you just know just push I knowing believe adding power to power, you feel the cuts on the body of the testifier as if you've seen a passion itself, that is how you know and smoke ciggaweed not Crack heh.

The cbd is liquidation turning raw assets into high life cash. The thc is identification more so relation adding and subtracting blessings and cursings in an informative dialogue of manna of peace great for glaucoma of the eyes when you believe you are the light genius accurate precise with grace and energy believe in the mustard seed, cbn is addition multiplying and subtracting the Lord's final words grounding you in protection in a network of ariel, the city God itself the political the biblical and thug nation that falling, this is city life Eli Eli lemesabatchne, the leopard and the kid our future our struggles our hope, the heaviness the sorrow every wolf and lamb son and mother equate this it is love you read the word you have your treasure believe, your country your heaven cow celebs and blue bears and pastor lions at peace, do the opposite fulfill his word into your hands I commend my spirit but I believe heaven is on earth and this is my america thus the judgment the baby's and the snakes cunning wisdom both at peace and this is bird nation ariels finest we understand the scitz thus phalanx united we stand in christ by calvary forever high and lifted up, never again, we are children of the light. Then the cbc steel thus bone the Lord's wound power application formulas, remember the rod of iron it rules the earth multiplying adding subtracting dividing as the standard is met.

Remember to constantly fullsend the thc when baked in cbd even cbn and cbc to maximize the cure thus relation in the eyes.

I'm just a prayer away in the smoke teaching you on earth my fathers truth jesus means relating to God, 1g 1g 1g. Down the rabbit hole Alice. Ariel tunaswifcephael a little child shall lead them cloud analytics.

You use the cbc as resistance to the scitz and insulator for neutral popcorn thoughts, the cbn for neutral anything as well, you wire the thc with cbd knowing angel stab nuclear fusion and Michael your blood is not on my hands christy and a.i. barbelo blue blood dreams mike burns, once you memo airyana phanuel scrips leave it simply defender xoxo of woman against jezebel,your virginity as strength to the loins come to terms with that, and you do geo gee power of friendship fellowship your 12 apostles and h.s. son memo that and just let the mirror of man flow threw you in confidence and strength even stability of neutral, remember the thesis of pain God knows how valuable you are if you believe you yourself must know it, for them it's faith without works is dead and do you know me wink, for us it's love and works our bible and how that is a mountain of faith your blood is so precious don't strain the mind believe it take hold of the prices and body aches and know what you have in you is as large as everest your in the hands of God it is upon them not you, cbn is also a cure all for most glitches peace beyond disinfecting empathy peace, use the cbc as a way to rule and order thus rev 6 in a plethora of advancement of war threw peace we all must breathe air do the same things we are all one you reap what you sow, 1g 1g 1g.

Just another way to call it as you see it know the reality and facts, describe a thing and ppl, relate and depart in knowing, be at peace in the scitz. Lock who you are a bible in a matrix of knowing facts in cause and effect and relation and wonder. Dream science. In the womb you are fearfully and wonderfully derfully made.

Scitz it's a disconnect from reality, this is how you can reconnect, mutations cube.

1st step acknowledge you are a bible most scitzys are defficent for that basic thing.

40 ANECDOTES SUR « MENACE II SOCIETY », LE PLUS GANGSTER DES FILMS DE GHETTO

Sorti le 26 mai 1993, le film des frères Hugues a traumatisé toutes les générations qui ont suivi…

1. La voix off de Caine qui conclut la scène d’ouverture de Menace II Society (« Went into the store just to get a beer. Came out an accessory to murder and armed robbery ») s’inspire directement de la voix off d’Henry Hill qui conclut la scène d’ouverture des Affranchis de Martin Scorsese (« Aussi loin que je me souvienne, j’ai toujours voulu être un gangster »).

2. Autre source d’inspiration assumée du film : l’utilisation de ralentis lors des impacts de balles piquée à John Woo.

3. Aussi surprenant que cela puisse paraître, les frères jumeaux Allen et Albert Hugues, réalisateurs et scénaristes de Menace II Society, n’étaient âgés que de 20 ans à peine au moment du tournage.

4. Leur inexpérience derrière la caméra leur a valu de couper l’une des toutes premières scènes qu’ils ont tournées tellement ils l’ont trouvé mauvaise.

« Le troisième jour, nous avons tourné une scène d’émeute dans la prison où Caine se retrouve incarcéré. Le truc c’est que nous ne savions absolument pas comment la filmer. Nous n’avions aucun cascadeur, les coups avaient tous l’air plus faux les uns que les autres… Nous nous sommes dits que nos carrières étaient finies, que nous avions eu notre chance et que nous l’avions foutu en l’air. »

5. Sur le plateau, la répartition des tâches entre les deux frangins se faisait de la manière suivante : Albert gérait la lumière, les caméras et tous les aspects techniques, tandis qu’Allen se concentrait sur l’intrigue et les acteurs.

6. Sur l’affiche, le gun que tient Caine à la main droite a été effacé à la demande du studio.

7. « Menace II Society est un film pour les blancs » dixit Albert. « C’est un film pour qu’ils sachent ce qui se passe dans le ghetto. »

Bon attention, après l’avoir vu, « si vous détestez les noirs, vous les détesterez encore plus après » dixit Allen.

8. Caine, le surnom de Kaydee Lawson (Tyrin Turner), renvoie à la fois à Charles Foster Kane, le magnat de la presse héros du chef-d’œuvre Citizen Kane d’Orson Welles, mais aussi et surtout à Caïn, fils aîné d’Adam et Ève meurtrier de son frère cadet Abel.

9. Si Menace II Society a pu en grande partie être tourné en plein South Central, l’un des ghettos les plus dangereux de Los Angeles, c’est parce que les principaux gangs avaient au même moment conclu une trêve, le fameux Truce Picnic.

10. De nombreux gangmembers ont été engagés par la production, que ce soit pour assurer la sécurité ou pour faire de la figuration – dans certaines scènes en extérieur, comme celle où O-Dog rend visite à Caine chez ses grands-parents, ou celle où la police débarque alors que toute la bande est assise sur un muret, 100% des figurants sont des locaux.

11. Le tournage a dû néanmoins être suspendu deux jours après que le gang des Hacienda Village Bloods a ouvert le feu à Jordan Downs, un quartier appartenant aux Crips.

12. Toute référence trop explicite aux Crips et aux Bloods a sciemment été évitée. Les frères Hugues estimaient que cela aurait enfermé le film dans une case et que la portée de son message aurait été réduite.

13. Tandis que le studio souhaitait voir « un rappeur platine » au casting, le rôle d’A-Wax tenu par MC Eiht a d’abord été proposé à MC Ren des N.W.A.

L’histoire ne dit pas s’il a refusé l’offre ou s’il n’a pas été jugé assez convaincant aux auditions.

14. Autres rappeurs présents au générique : Pooh-Man qui joue Doc, Saafir qui joue Harold, et ce filou de Too Short qui joue Lew-Loc (le mec qui tend un fusil à pompe à O-Dog).

15. A cause des contraintes budgétaires, ce même fusil à pompe, le Smith & Wesson Model 3000, est utilisé par l’un des meurtriers de Caine dans la toute dernière scène.

16. 2Pac devait initialement jouer dans Menace II Society. Il a cependant très mal pris d’être engagé pour jouer le très sage Sharif lorsqu’il a compris que tous ses confrères rappeurs s’étaient eux vus confier des rôles plus street.

Ont suivi des discussions très vives avec les frangins Hugues pour qu’il obtienne le rôle d’O-Dog. Elles se sont soldées par un remerciement.

17. Extrêmement contrarié de s’être fait lourder de la sorte, 2Pac s’est très malhonnêtement mis à clamer sur tous les toits qu’il a quitté le navire de son propre chef car il refusait de jouer « un gangster musulman ».

Pire, quelques mois plus tard, l’auteur de California Love s’est pointé avec une trentaine de ses homies sur le tournage du clip Trigga Gots No Heart de Spice 1 sur lequel travaillait Allen Hugues et a tabassé ce dernier à coups de batte de baseball.

18. Tant d’animosité s’explique également en partie par le fait que 2Pac et les frères Hugues avaient par le passé collaboré sur de nombreux clips comme If My Homie Calls ou Brenda’s Got a Baby.

19. La mélodie de Streiht up Menace, la chanson phare de la bande originale de Menace II Society, n’est pas un sample. MC Eiht l’a entendue par hasard sans se souvenir qui en est l’auteur.

« À l’époque, je me baladais partout où j’allais avec un magnétophone. J’enregistrais les mélodies qui me passaient par la tête. Un jour, je suis tombé sur ces quelques notes sans me souvenir où je les avais entendues. J’ai fredonné l’air sur mon magnétophone et j’ai passé la cassette à DJ Slip pour qu’il le reproduise. »

20. D’après Spice 1, figure de la scène rap californienne, le rôle d’O-Dog lui aurait été proposé en premier.

« J’ai eu le script dans les mains, mais mon manager n’est pas resté en contact avec les frères Hugues. J’aurais aimé avoir une seconde chance. Je n’aurais même pas eu besoin de jouer, j’aurais juste eu à me remémorer des trucs qui me sont arrivés. »

21. Aussi incroyable que cela puisse paraître, Larenz Tate faisait ses grands débuts au cinéma sous les traits du « cauchemar de l’Amérique » Kevin ‘O-Dog’ Anderson.

22. La tristement célèbre réplique « What’d you say about my mama? » balancée par O-Dog après que le patron de l’épicerie a laissé échapper qu’il se sentait « désolé pour sa mère » a été improvisée par Larenz Tate.

23. À en croire les frères Hugues, O-Dog a 15 ans, il ne sait ni lire, ni écrire et a été élevé, non pas par ses parents, mais par sa sœur.

24. Lucide, Larenz Tate n’est pas des plus tendres avec son personnage malgré l’aura de culte qui l’entoure : « Si O-Dog est une idole pour certains, c’est que l’on ne peut rien faire pour eux. »

« On voit clairement qu’il n’est pas complètement développé psychologiquement et émotionnellement. C’est pour cela qu’il réagit de la sorte à la moindre offense. »

25. Tout comme Tate, Jada Pinkett a également décroché ici son premier rôle sur grand écran.

Elle n’était toutefois pas une complète débutante et avait été vue précédemment dans les séries télé True Colours, 21 Jump Street et A Different World.

26. Charles S. Dutton qui interprète Mr. Butler, l’un des rares personnages à se montrer éclairé et bienveillant à l’égard de son prochain, a connu une jeunesse similaire aux protagonistes du film.

Condamné notamment pour meurtre et agression, il a passé plusieurs années derrière les barreaux avant de s’intéresser au combat des droits civiques, puis au cinéma.

27. Dans l’épicerie, le niveau de bière de la bouteille St. Ides 40 que Caine boit au goulot change constamment. À la toute fin de la scène, elle est d’ailleurs quasi pleine.

28. Lorsque Harold gît face contre le sol, atteint de contractions après s’être fait tirer dessus, ce n’est pas Saafir que l’on voit à l’écran, mais Albert Hugues. Le rappeur ne pouvait pas être présent ce jour-là sur le plateau.

29. Quand Samuel L. Jackson, le père de Caine, abat devant son fils un de ses amis qui lui devait de l’argent, il tire huit coups de feu alors qu’il utilise un revolver – un barillet ne peut contenir que six balles.

30. Lorsque Caine est vu couper des cailloux de crack avec une lame de rasoir, « 50% de la drogue est réelle » d’après les frères Hughes.

31. Dans la même veine, le joint que fume A-Wax/MC Eiht alors qu’il conduit Caine et O-Dog en direction des meurtriers d’Harold a été roulé avec de la marijuana.

À bien regarder la scène, MC Eiht inhale bien la fumée, Laurenz Tate lui crapote.

32. La scène dans laquelle Chauncy s’amuse à malmener un assureur qui lui demande de voler une voiture a dû être doublée par les acteurs en postproduction à cause des trop nombreux avions en circulation le jour du tournage.

33. La scène au cours de laquelle Caine rende visite au parloir à son ancien mentor Parnell a été ajoutée à la demande du studio afin de donner au film « plus de cœur ».

34. Si la plupart des personnages font pencher leur arme à l’horizontale, c’est parce que quelques années plus tôt les frères Hugues ont été témoins d’un braquage au cours duquel les assaillants tenaient leurs guns de la sorte.

Là où pour eux il s’agissait d’ajouter une touche de réalisme à leur film, cette prise en main peu orthodoxe sera ensuite adoptée par tous les gangsta rappeurs et drive-byeurs du pays, ainsi que par moult grosses productions hollywoodiennes comme Se7en ou Usual Suspects – plus sur le sujet ici.

35. Magie des fautes de raccords, le Glock 17 Seconde génération qu’O Dog agite tout au long du film Dog se transforme en Beretta 92F quand Caine tabasse Chauncy, puis brièvement en SIG-Sauer P226 lors de la scène finale.

36. Dwayne Barnes, l’acteur qui interprète l’accro au crack qu’O-Dog tue pour lui avoir proposé une fellation, a très mal vécu la manière dont a été perçu son rôle.

« Quand j’ai dit à MC Eiht que je m’étais installé sur Los Angeles depuis un an pour poursuivre une carrière d’acteur, il s’est étonné que j’ai fait tout ce chemin pour ‘jouer un crackhead et raconter ces conneries’. J’étais humilié. »

« Plus généralement, dans la communauté noire, le rôle n’a pas été très bien reçu. J’ai découvert plus tard qu’Allen et Albert Hugues n’avaient en réalité trouvé personne d’autre prêt à jouer ce personnage… »

37. Menace II Society affiche l’un des ratios de « fuck » le plus élevé à la minute: le « F-word » est entendu 305 fois en 97 minutes, soit 3,14 fois toutes les 60 secondes !

38. C’est LE plot hole de Menace II Society : quand la police convoque Caine pour le double meurtre du couple d’asiatiques grâce à la découverte de ses empreintes digitales sur les lieux du crime, elle aurait également dû convoquer O-Dog pour le même motif.

Lorsque les frères Hugues ont compris cela, ils ont tout d’abord coupé au montage tous les plans des mains d’O-Dog dans l’épicerie. Ils sont ensuite revenus sur leur décision en se disant que la fiction pouvait ici primer sur le réalisme.

39. Très ironiquement, le film en noir et blanc diffusé à la télévision quand le grand-père de Caine lui fait la morale est La vie est belle de Frank Capra.

40. Menace II Society a-t-il passé l’épreuve du temps ? Et bien pas vraiment selon Allen et Albert Hugues.

« Si l’on parle des thèmes, oui. Si l’on parle de cinéma à proprement dit, nous avons été victimes de l’époque (…) Le film n’a pas très bien vieilli. Les mouvements de caméra et les dialogues sont très datés. »

« Je pense que les réalisateurs black, pour peu que nous rentrions dans cette case, bénéficiaient alors d’un pass pour leurs gros défauts. Nous n’étions pas nombreux, du coup si l’acting ou les dialogues étaient mauvais, les critiques blancs n’osaient pas nous tomber dessus. Ou alors ils pensaient vraiment que tout ça était réel ! ‘Oh, c’est black, donc c’est vrai. Ce truc est incroyable !’. Vous aviez droit à une sorte de passe-droit. »

Guetto Tigers

Mafias Benefactoras: Crips y Bloods Admisiones: Cualquier alumno afroamericano procedente de pandillas norteamericanas similares a las benefactoras Líder: Nakeesha Sanders (NPC)

Ghetto Tigers es la afiliación que recoge a los auténticos OGs de los guetos estadounidenses, especialmente de California.

La inmensa mayoría de sus miembros son afroamericanos, procedentes de pandillas que se especializan en el tráfico de drogas (a gran escala y menudeo) y en el tráfico de armas.

Siendo los Crips y los Bloods sus organizaciones benefactoras y también bandas rivales tras los muros de la Academia, no existe una gran cohesión en esta Afiliación y suele estar plagada de rencillas y desencuentros. Sin embargo, el factor común racial y cultural frente a un entorno hostil ha sido suficiente, al menos hasta ahora, para que esta Afiliación no explote por los aires.

Los Guetto Tigers se incorporaron a Heaven's Gates en la década de los 90, por lo que sus residencias no se construyeron en el Módulo Alfa junto a las de las afiliaciones primigenias. Para ellos habilitaron el antiguo gimnasio, renombrado como Little Cali, que actualmente tiene sus muros totalmente cubiertos de grafittis y no se encuentra en las mejores condiciones de mantenimiento.

Su lugar de reunión más simbólico son las afueras de Little Cali. Podría decirse que no tienen la suficiente confianza entre ellos como para dejar sus enseres personales sin vigilancia.

Криминальная жизнь члена банды Crips Ghetto на сервере Arsenal Games во вселенной Arma 3

“Perhaps 6 April 1989 will go down in history as the first 'designer drug raid'. As heavily armed and flak-jacketed SWAT commandoes stormed the alleged 'rock house' near 51 st and Main Street in Southcentral L.A., Nancy Reagan and Los Angeles Police Chief Daryl Gates sat across the street, nibbling fruit salad in a luxury motor home emblazoned 'THE ESTABLISHMENT'. According to the Times, the former first lady 'could be seen freshening her make-up' while the SWATs roughly frisked and cuffed the fourteen 'narco-terrorists' captured inside the small stucco bungalow. As hundreds of incredulous neighbors ('Hey, Nancy Reagan. She's over here in the ghetto!') gathered behind police barriers, the great Nay-sayer, accompanied by Chief Gates and a small army of nervous Secret Service agents, toured the enemy fortress with its occupants still bound on the floor in flabbergasted submission. 

After frowning at the tawdry wallpaper and drug-bust debris, Nancy, who looked fetching in her LAPD windbreaker, managed to delve instantly into the dark hearts at her feet and declare: 'These people in here are·beyond the point of teaching and rehabilitating.' This was music to the ears of the Chief, whose occupation thrives on incorrigibility. 'Gates fairly beamed as television cameras pressed in: "We thought she ought to see it for herself and she did. ... She is a very courageous woman".' 

It was a heck of a heavy date, even if Nancy's press secretary Mark Weinberg complained obnoxiously the next day about the media's failure to take better advantage of the photo opportunity. In the larger picture, however, Nancy Reagan - who had lived in Southern California for nearly fifty years - had made her first visit to the ghetto, and Chief Gates, who dreams of becoming governor, had his perfect drug bust. It was an easy victory in a drug 'war' that the LAPD secretly loves losing. 

VIETNAM HERE 

Tonight we pick 'em up for anything and everything. LAPD spokesman (9 April 1988) 

Flashback to the previous April. A thousand extra-duty patrolmen, backed by elite tactical squads and a special anti-gang taskforce, bring down the first act of 'Operation HAMMER' upon ten square miles of Southcentral Los Angeles between Exposition Park and North Long Beach, arresting more Black youth than at any time since the Watts Rebellion of 1965. Like a Vietnam-era search-and-destroy mission - and many senior police are proud Vietnam veterans - Chief Gates saturates the street with his 'Blue Machine', jacking up thousands of local teenagers at random like so many surprised peasants. Kids are humiliatingly forced to 'kiss the sidewalk' or spread-eagle "against police cruisers while officers check their names against computerized files of gang members. There are 1,453 arrests; the kids are processed in mobile booking centers, mostly for trivial offences like delinquent parking tickets or curfew violations. Hundreds more, uncharged, have their names and addresses entered into the electronic gang roster for future surveillance.

Gates, who earlier in the year had urged the 'invasion' of Colombia (in 1980 he offered Jimmy Carter the LAPD SWAT team to liberate the hostages in Tehran), derided civil libertarian protests: 'This is war ... we're exceedingly angry .... We want to get the message out to the cowards out there, and that's what they are, rotten little cowards - we want the message to go out that we're going to come and get them.' To reinforce the metaphor, but meaning it literally, the chief of the DA's Hardcore Drug Unit added: 'This is Vietnam here.’

The 'them' - what a local mayor calls 'the Viet Cong abroad in our society' - are the members of local Black gangs, segmented into several hundred fighting 'sets' while loosely aligned into two hostile super-gangs, the 'Crips' and the 'Bloods' - universally distinguished, as every viewer of Dennis Hopper's Colors now knows, by their color-coding of shoelaces, T-shirts and bandannas (red for Bloods, blue for Crips). In the official version, which Hollywood is incessantly reheating and further sensationalizing, these gangs comprise veritable urban guerrilla armies organized for the sale of crack and outgunning the police with huge arsenals of Uzi and Mac-10 automatics. Although gang cohorts are typically hardly more than high-school sophomores, local politicians frequently compare them to the 'murderous militias of Beirut'.  

Across town, or increasingly in Southcentral itself, there is another large, traditional constituency of Latino gang membership, frequently depicted in the same lurid images. Indeed the primary focus of gang hysteria in the 1970s was the rising violence amongst the third generation of East L.A. vatos locos. But a major community counter-offensive, unabetted by the police, and led instead by priests, parents and gang veteranos appealing to 'Chicano unity', managed to dramatically reduce Eastside gang killings from 24 in 1978 to zero in 1988. A major recrudescence of Latino gang warfare in recent days may be directly attributable to new liaisons with the crack trade. 

If anything made ghetto turf rivalries so much more deadly than the Eastside's during the 1980s, it was the incomparably higher economic stakes involved in control of the retail cocaine trade. 'Gangbangin', rose in a murderous arc from 1984 in rough synchronization with the emergence of crack as the narcotic equivalent of fast food and the rerouting of the main cocaine trail from Florida to Southern California via Mexico. Since the beginning of 1987, 'gang-related' slayings, principally in Southside city and county areas, have averaged over one per day. 

This very real epidemic of youth violence, with its deep roots (as we shall see) in exploding youth poverty, has been inflated by law enforcement agencies and the media into something quite phantasmagoric. In a numbers game that ceases to distinguish the authentic 'high rollers' and 'stone killers' of the gang world from the 'claimers' and 'wannabees', the city attorney's office has steadily escalated its estimates of hard core gang membership from 10,000 to 50,000. Local media have amplified this figure to 70,000- 80,000, while Sheriff's 'gang experts' have invoked the spectre of 100,000 'rotten little cowards' overrunning Los Angeles County. Meanwhile an Andromeda Strain of Crips and Bloods is reported to have infected the entire West, from Tucson to Anchorage, before invading Middle America itself (with new sightings from Kansas City to Buffalo).

Like the Tramp scares in the nineteenth century, or the Red scares in the twentieth, the contemporary Gang scare has become an imaginary class relationship, a terrain of pseudo-knowledge and fantasy projection. But as long as the actual violence was more or less confined to the ghetto, the gang wars were also a voyeuristic titillation to white suburbanites devouring lurid imagery in their newspapers or on television. Then in December 1987 frisson became fear as Southside gang hitmen mistakenly gunned down a young woman outside a theater in the posh Westwood Village entertainment district near UCLA. Westwood's influential merchants, who had recently induced the LAPD to enforce curfew ordinances to repel nonwhite youth from the Village, clamored for extra police protection, while local Council member Zev Yaroslavsky, then essaying a Koch-like challenge to Mayor Bradley, posted a huge reward for apprehension of the 'urban terrorists'. 

The dramatically different press coverage of, and preferential police response to, the Westwood shooting ignited the simmering resentment of Black community leaders, who blasted Yaroslavsky, Bradley and the LAPD for failing to respond comparably to the mayhem in their neighborhoods. For several weeks the council chambers resounded to an arcane debate over relative police response times in different divisions and the comparative allocations of department personnel. This ideologically circumscribed and loaded debate, focusing exclusively on the demand for a more equal and vigorous prosecution of the war against gangs, was a cue for the ambitious and media-hungry Chief to reclaim center-stage.” - Mike Davis, City of Quartz: Excavating the Future in Los Angeles.

There's something about gang/hood culture I appreciate

Idk what it is....to a sense in a way it could be considered detrimental to the black community but really it's mostly a by product of how the descendants of slavery were treated during Jim Crow/The Civil Rights movement. Think about it, they burned down Black Wall Street once they saw we were prospering, the FBI spied on our Civil Rights Leaders/sent them threatening letters using their recordings as a form of blackmail (look into COINTELPRO, that shit is brazy), hell Regan demonized the Black Panther Party for Open Carry only to sell arms to Iran illegally/let the Contras smuggle cocaine into this country, which all sparked this "gang shit." It gave the disenfranchised a form of....unity I guess, despite killings and what not.

I mean, it goes without saying "being gangsta isn't cool" because at the end of the day, hood niggas don't wanna be hood niggas my nigga. That being said, s/o to all my niggas/homegirls out here selling drugs, poppin pussy, hittin licks, tryna get a dollar out here.
