I was a teenager in the 90's, but over on the west coast area. Things were bad back then. I used to keep an eye out for any headlights coming down the street from either direction if I was outside in the neighborhood after dark, if I saw any coming in the distance I would take cover and hide behind parked cars, electricity boxes, random houses front porches, anywhere I could long before anyone in the car could see me and I wouldn't come out until the car was a good ways away because drive bys were so common. I started doing that at 8 or 9 years old. Things calmed down a bit after the early 2000's and partying and going to the club became the popular thing. But of course, its getting bad again. Sad to see, but not surprising.

gun violence is related to poverty. Poverty stricken areas are more likely to be dangerous. the more dangerous an area is , the more likely people are to own guns (illegally or legally) for protection . . people born/raised in poverty 'USUALLY' don't have a stable house hold, so they 'USUALLY' grow up not knowing how to resolve issues or deal with stress PROPERLY .

Dudes in Chicago used to get custom made hats made over on Madison and Pulaski, with rhinestones spelling out their gangs name. And wear them joints out in the open or with a five point star or a six point star.

[@deellaboe437]

Give it up to the community leaders! We have HIGH population of people from Chicago in my city. Unfortunately, they brought this mentality with them. I live in the twin cities Minnesota.

[@TheKing8608_]

It’s been that way since the late 70s and 80s and 90s we left K town (out west) and moved to north Minneapolis in October 1989 and I was only 3 but remember my uncles, my youngest and oldest uncles were 74 and my middle uncle was Black P Stone they would take me to the park over there around Oliver and I think Penn (can’t remember) and they would run into so many Chicago folks and folks they knew personally from there. It’s been like that for decades up here.

[@patternsofconstruction267]

Some people say it's short for opponents. Or opposite.

[@keepingwatch247]

Yeah the goofies like to claim that term came from Lil Wayne and some west coasters. Just like those LA dudes weren't putting everything on "dead homies" until they heard Chicago gang members saying that stuff . Chicago gangbangers been doing that and tagging their dead homies names all over the walls.

It was a sin to name those buildings after Robert Taylor. That's not what he envisioned. He was actually a pioneer for good. He was done wrong.
