Gangster Disciples Co-Founder interview-Ike Taylor

[@ike4928]

My step-father was under him and did time with him in Pontiac....I'm 53 and I can sit and listen to an older gentleman like this all day....this new generation will never understand the struggles of the 60's and 70's...this is the Knowledge they speak of

[@youniggasgoofys4840]

He wasn’t a co founder though he probably was high ranking but he’s not a co founder it’s 2 kings and 2 princes…KING DAVID & KING LARRY….PRINCE TENNESSEE & PRINCE OLD TIMER….not taking anything away from my Brother Of the Struggle but those were the founder he probably was in the mix with them being one of the Original members

[@TmoneyBagz1]

I was born in the early 90’s and I have some understanding of this era. I have studied a lot about what happened back then. I became interesting in learning about it when I seen how bad it is today with the current oppression and the racism that STILL exists. I needed to go back in time to see where we came from to see why we are where we are at today.. and it is truly sad what us black people have been through for the last 4-500 years. It just never ends.. it doesn’t stop.. they won’t leave us black people alone. They infiltrate our culture and everything we create and destroy it from the inside out. It is truly disgusting. They put us in the ghettos after segregation ended and never allowed black peoples to live in nice neighborhoods. They didn’t pay black people the same as white people. They put drugs in black neighborhoods to destroy us even more. And now today, the next generations are damaged by negative music that the racist elites also infiltrated and control and don’t want any positive music out, they only want us to put out negative music. They only sign artists who fit their agenda. They do not even look in the direction of a positive artist. They destroyed everything we ever had.. but we STILL prevail! And we will prevail and get back on our feet soon.. just like how black Wall Street was destroyed, we can do it again! And currently, many blacks people have successful businesses and soon many of us will have more control as we control real estate and huge chunks of the economic world. It is a slow and steady process.. but we will get back on top soon! The ignorant ones have to wake up and the ones who already have their eyes open need to help wake up their fellow brother and we need to work together. I have faith things will get better. We just need to keep working towards this ultimate goal.

[@kdw75]

When my nephew was being born back in the early 2000s I was in a waiting area at a Kansas City hospital and struck up a conversation with an elderly Black Man who was probably 90. He was telling me about when he was young man and the city was run by a politician named Pendergast. He talked about all the corruption and growing up back in the 30s and 40s. It was just fascinating and it really saddened me how much we lose when people like him pass away without documenting their lives.

[@The-Logic-Wizard]

Pendergast was more than just corrupt... he handpicked Harry Truman to be a politician out of a dare. He saw a poor grocery store bagger and said "I am so powerful I can make any idiot a senator". He promoted Truman to win his senatorship. Corruption abound. Once Truman was in Washington he fell into the vice presidency largely by luck. Then FDR died and all the sudden Truman is president, a grocery store clerk with no education was now president. Truman was then convinced by the military to drop the atomic bomb on Japanese civilians. He was not given the secret information on the nature of the bomb beforehand, since everyone knew he was an idiot they kept those details from him. He was tricked into nuclear bombing civilians by sick generals. After that he was again tricked into signing the act that formed the CIA and gave all oversight to the CIA to itself, not the president. That is why we have a runaway intelligence community who is spying and killing its own citizens. It all goes back to pendergast and Truman. The great shame of Missouri

It seems to me that's how the majority of Black American males throughout America Love to Communicate with eachother by talking loud over the next whenever we get together to discuss some issues amongst ourselves that really do need to be addressed ! The meeting can seriously start off very Positive because the person doing most of the talking is very well Respected and everyone knows not to interrupt them while they're speaking but let it be someone else that has a plan that will work if he could just only get everyone to read the script and play their role ! Our People have been fooled into this modern way of thinking as long as someone is talking about getting a brand new car and buying some auto parts to add on to the vehicle then that person is talking about something but let that be a person talking about a plan to get more Black people to join together to do bigger and better things then they're all labeled by their peers as the ones who are usually not talking about anything period and they're not to be taken seriously !

[@myronmosley2167]

I enjoy his story. But no he wouldn’t. He did 20 years at 22 years old. That was in the mid to late 60’s maybe early 70’s (he didn’t specify). It’s 2023. At the shortest time that was 53 years ago. Which means he’s had at least 30 years to figure out how to leave and he hasn’t. So what does that tell you? It tells me he didn’t and does not really want to leave. It doesn’t cost much for a one way ticket to another country and if you save up a thousand dollars or a couple thousand you can go start up ahead of the locals depending on where you go based on the USD conversion rates. He couldn’t do that in 30 years? Stop it. He’s still stuck in the street life and the past. He has valid grievances with the government, no doubt, but he ain’t going anywhere. Whether he admits it or not, he knows his best chance for success is here in America because other countries, to include the many countries in Africa, aren’t going to support him with federal assistance like they do here. He’s had 30 years to get his life together, and he hasn’t. He chose to continue living the way he does.

It's so awesome Mark's able to get some of the best interviews with such a variety of people. I've always been drawn to the darker corners of life out-of curiosity and excitement. I just love learning about everyone's lives that are so much different than mine.

Ike, I’m a daily watcher but rarely post. I am compelled this morning, out of gratitude, out of respect and with love. Thank you for all you did in the community and continue to do. I can’t help but think how crazy it is that Florida is literally trying to rewrite black history and how shameful that is. Unsurprising and so shameful. Thanks for doing this interview. Inherited trauma as well as resilience and strength.

I love the black history stories in events. This is why the elders are very important. They keep the stories alive to remind us of what we have already been through so that way we don’t repeat the process to remember what we are going salute to this OG! May God and the blood of our ancestors guide us!!! 🖤

I enjoyed his insights and views- from his point of view and experiences. He is so right about the real injustices that have going on for a long time- and politicians promising and not delivering, especially Obama- as he pointed out near the end. Another great video, Mark.

Thank you Ike for your this interview. I really enjoyed and appreciated your the lessons I learned today. I love history. I was born in 1954, I remember Little Black Sambo and the restaurants and when they started closing down. I spent my weekends going to my aunts and uncle’s house to clean it up. One side was white and the other was black. When I was done with my chores I’d run next door to be with my new friends, a little black girl and boy. We’d drink from mason jars and play outside but I was always welcomed in as part of their family. I loved them so much, I learned about family and love. They were amazing and always smiling and laughing. I couldn’t wait to see them. I’m a survivor of severe childhood trauma in every aspect. I received more love, true love and happiness from them. One of very few beautiful memories. Again thank you. ❤❤❤❤

The whole racist purity thing is a turn off, people should be able to fall in love with who ever they feel, the whole you are betraying your race is bull...s, there is no conspiracy to water down the black race people just are more willing to find love out side their race, also some people just are attracted to opposites. The whole world would be a better place if that purity keep our race alive nonsense was put to rest where it belongs.

This man is still a leader. I hope he reads this. Sir you still can unite the people. You know what it takes, your older, wiser. This man is beyond highly educated, very well spoken. He’s got lots of energy for his age. He can probably out do 20 or 30 year olds today. I watched him although he can’t keep still, means he’s gotta be always productive doing something. He doesn’t stop. I hope he doesn’t stop and fulfills uniting people.

Chicago is a buzz word for whyte supremacists. It's what they use to validate their dysfunction. When it's time to actually do something then you people are nowhere to be seen.
