    Just like there are "cool hispanics" and "cool white guys"

    Students that are invited to a lot of social events and are well liked by most people... they are known as "cool" people I guess, or "popular. "

    Great, now we're rating black guys.
    A proud moment in the SJ pantheon.

    I like how nobody has anything to say about the re-post.

    Ignoring our social problems is why we have all these maniacs shooting for no reason.

    OK. I'll respond to the repost of your friend's tripe.

    None of that is true. There were black gangs in Los Angeles in the 1920s and 1930s. Maybe before. By the 1940s, LA had a bunch of black gangs. Some of it had to do with protecting themselves from violence by white gangs. As much of it had to do with petty theft and robbery. Similarly, there were black gangs in Chicago after WWII into the 1950s when lots of blacks migrated from the South. The Devil's Disciples, the Black P-Stones, the Vice Lords.

    Those acronyms are false. There were no acronyms behind the names of those gangs. The original name of what became "the crips" was "the cribs" -- i.e. -- the members were young (from their cribs). Cribs evolved into crips or cripples. They were a violent street gang, not a social organization. The Bloods formed to provide protection from the crips. Neither were formed with lofty goals. They were groups of violent gang members.

    Other than that, your friend's post was deep.
