Being Gangsta isn't a LIFE STYLE ... It's a STYLE that Takes LIFE

[@bolayul291]

True it’s a evil lifestyle really evil nothing good about that life is kill or be killed

[@SpeakMusic25]

What do you know homie 😢

[@robertchavez8759]

@@SpeakMusic25 I know enough to say I lost homies to that propaganda lifestyle, and 4 what 😒 showing off ? ... How is that a lifestyle ??? Constantly having to watch your back, because you created so many enemies for the dumbest reasons. I assume you've seen the movie " Colors " being that your here commenting off the clip 😏. Maybe try listening to what Ron Delaney( the ex Gang member in the movie trying to talk some sense to the other gangs of his community ) was saying to the gang bangers in the same scene we all just watched.

[@robertchavez8759]

The reason I say the " Gangsta Lifestyle is a Style that takes life " is because it's True ... Have you ever seen an ex military soldier survive and come out of a War ??? Imagine how traumatized that person would be with all the shit the had to see... The things they were ordered to do 😒 and for what ??? So that You can have the RIGHT to throw your life away the same way creating your own army of " Homies " just to start your own War's 😒 ... No future in that at all... It is literally playing into the Devils game of Kill or be Killed... Why you think so many homies don't make it out ??? ... I'll tell you why, it's because they weren't FIGHTING 4 anything Right for themselves... If you believe in GOD the way I do then you'll know that when you FIGHT 4 something NOBEL something RIGHT then he will give you the power, courage, and 💪 strength you will need to WIN.

Vino5150 wtf you talking about? Lol sure there were some gangs that had mix races but overall it’s always been the same.

[@poketz100]

Eddie Lombera naw man blacks and Hispanic relationship was alot closer back in the day. I know there was always some who didnt like eachother but not as bad as it was in 2000s. The fucked up part is it was eme who ordered all surenos to attack blacks. It aint like that in the bay area. It aint like that down here in the south. Its mostly the older emu members who are on that racist shit. I grew up in Cali and the South. I get nothin but love from blacks down south. Its different down here. Nobody tries to hit u up with that “where u from?” Bullshit

[@MacMac1313]

@@poketz100 Ha ha !! Well you must be one confused moreno. Prison politics are prison politics. Just like Mexicans don't fuck with blacks, blacks don't fuck with Mexicans in prison. This is way before it got hot in the streets and way before the East Coast 🦀 and F13 beef kicked off. Which the EC crabs started the beef anyway. You must not be from Los Angeles to know this apparently. The difference is that Mexicans have structure in prison while blacks just have a car in prison when they go to prison. Mexican Mafia was able to bring out the prison politic into the streets by offering protection in turn for a profit to bangers who only have two places they will end up in anyway. The EmE made their bones and set the structure for future bangers as I mentioned above. Blacks are just mad that they have no self control, unorganized with no structure like Raza therefore can't control their own group of people and always at war within each other. Easily triggered.

[@capitanm2166]

A lot of people don't know bur the actor who played frog died later in the year this movie came out.. rip

[@ctinsley77]

But most people don't realize is that gangs like 18th Street when it first started had a mixture of blacks, whites, Latinos, and even some Chinese, do to all the politics started by the Eme, most of the non-mexican members were booted...

Used to be like that in LA back in the early 1900s. When italians and Irish started moving to LA they attended the same catholic churches as the Mexicans and clicked up that way. And when the blacks started moving to LA during Jim Crow these were the only gangs to join. It wasn't til the crips and bloods formed is when gangs started to become more segregated.
