I have the upmost respect for cat ceasar....He's a man of truth...He is upon history..and not mixing truth with falsehood...Nothing we did in those days was good nor should be glorify..nearly 16.000 thousand lives has been lost I find nothing cute about it....in a comment someone said I called Raymond weak and that I beat him up...this kind of lie leads only to misleading people away from truth....A special thanks to Cal Mac and cat for speaking on bishops intruth

I'm glad he addressed the Black Panther relations with gangs cuz soo many people think that's how gangs got started which isn't true. Gangs are young kids, as a young kid you don't give a fuck about positivity. It's all about getting money, fucking hoes, doing drugs, riding the best cars, and so on.

Bobby was deep into the Martial Arts,After the WATTS RIOTS there's a place that opened up called the MUFUNDI INSTITUTE,It was like a YMCA,They had free Karate lessons,Bobby studied there but wanted to advance himself and sought out better teachers he then got into Kung-Fu ! Martial Arts was to Bobby what basketball was to M.J. it was like his calling,I remember my father telling me Bobby tried to challenge his teacher at the Mufundi,The teacher kicked Bobby's ass,He then started training like Rocky and eventually came back challenged the teacher again and won this time ! A lot of BISHOPS took an interest in Martial Arts because of his influence !

[@michaelhalll1572]

So, let me just state for the record that Kenny McKnight did not bring Crip to Kitchens... And this is not to take anything away from him since he is from my Hood and my G Kayrade, I am more than qualified to elaborate on the issue. Remember, everyone on the East Side were just East Side Crips and Raymond Washington was in the neighborhood daily whether in passing or running with people in the neighborhood or trying to get on with the Avenues... So, when the East Side started to branch off into individual sets, we branched off first and became the first set in the area to become an individual hood solely with its own name Kitchen Crips, which was given to us by The General OG Skull it is etched in the annals of the history of Crippin as we know it... And as with all of the aforementioned names Cat mentioned they were on dekc during the inception of The The East Side as a whole becoming independent and individual HOODS AND STILL CONNECTED TO THE CRIP MOVEMENT. Yes, Kenny and his brother were in the mix but Crippin was already in effect on the East Side... And the rest is history because everyone else became individual neighborhoods as well.. When Raymond wanted to reunify the East under the banner of East Coast we declined and retained our independence no disrespect intended to anyone who reads this post.. But WE DID NOT BUY INTO HIS VISION AND MOVED ON WHILE MOST OF THE EAST SIDE BECAME EAST COAST AFTER THE MEETING HOSTED BY RAYMOND... SO, NO MIDNIGHT DIDN'T BRING CRIPS TO KITCHEN

[@joemosely9383]

@Michael Hall What Year Do you give the Kitchen Crip Gang as an independent set? I was under the impression that Kitchen was Originally just the name of a Hangout Spot in front of a Liquor Store. Kitchen Liquor Store on Central & 87th Street. Hangout Spot for all the local Crips evolved into a Independent Set/Neigborhood over time.

[@michaelhalll1572]

@@joemosely9383 First and foremost Good Morning. As a independent entity Kitchen Crips... Not Kitchen Crip Gang.. Which is something different yet the same. Kitchen Crips became an independent neighborhood in 1972.. Some will say between 71-73.. But its actually 1972. I know where the Kitchen Liquor Store is located. I am from Kitchen and know the area well... But you've got to remember that the local gangs also hung out at Fremont High School and Will Rogers Parkc as well as the Kitchen Liquor Store.. Lots of Crips were unified and ONE and knew each other in various ways and would congregate in different Hoods bcuz as CRIPS we were always on the MOVE spreading the C where ever WE GO.
