I Never Knew There Were Crips In Hawaii

[@WildOutWest1911]

Sad that no matter what part of the country, the perpetual cycle of gang influence continues to get passed down generations. I’ll be damned if mine don’t do better than me, or the generations before me. Our ancestors deserve better. Leaders, please lead. This is not it.

[@Devilishlybenevolent]

It's sad but there's a big sense of community/family when you join a gang. Just look at those kids with crip mac throwing up signs, they grew up around gangster and want to be/emulate them, when they're of age they'll want to do dumb shit to be bad ass. Young people need to have strong anti-gang young adults/adults to look up to, otherwise they'll just end up wanting to become a gangster and go down a dark path.

​@@nephuland the ghettos for the poor Hawaiians are called Hawaiian homestead. There's hawaiian homstead in every part of the island. Papakolea is in town. Hawaiian homestead in Waimanalo, Kapolei & Waianae. Those are the most known ones. Homestead is for Hawaiians that are 50% blood that can't afford a home to buy or rent so they sign up to get leasehold land for $1 a year to live on. You have to build your own house. Some programs have houses already built. 28,000 families are currently on the waiting list & it will take years for more land & housing to be made. Family members that are drug users & criminals live there & don't have to worry about rent. Some people spend money on expensive cars, motorcycles, jewelry & toys. It's ghetto mentality. The majority of Hawaiians don't even speak Hawaiian or practice any Hawaiian culture. The missionaries told Hawaiians to give up everything they know & become English speaking Christians. The Hawaiian Monarchy was overthrown & became the 50th state illegally. Hawaii is now just another American state being advertised as a paradise vacation destination but locals have to work hard to afford the high cost of housing & cost of shipping everything to Hawaii. Most locals don't even think of leaving the island but some realize that it's more affordable to live in another state. Most locals think Las Vegas is a good place to move to but I think Vegas isn't a good place to live compared to other states & cities in the USA

[@nephuland]

@@AZtheOG So most hawaiians live in their own communities basically, not with the other polys and asians? Just tryna figure out why every time someone makes a hawaii hood video they only have samoans and asians in it lol. I know what you’re saying tho, I’m Māori and my people have gone through a similar thing to where now you will only find small pockets of fluent Te Reo Māori speakers deep in Gisborne or Hastings where the Māori population is more than 50%. Thankfully we don’t have it as bad as Hawaiians in terms of culture erasure tho, our traditional culture is still practiced to an extent and we still have hakas for every school and sports team. Even white, african and asian kids and other polys are brought up learning a little bit of Māori culture and basic phrases. But we also fall into the same trap of gangs and crime, and being influenced by American media a lot of us speak and act like black americans and use the n word frequently which is dumb as fuck, our history of struggle is completely different to theirs. I guess there’s also a problem with fatherlessness that leads to these problems, we’re not like other Polynesians who have strong family units so it leaves a lot of Māori kids neglected and bored which leads them into stupid actions.

This is fire and informative at the same time cause I would’ve never known & thought they’d have Crips or even projects in Hawaii.

[@808sirenz9]

We've always had small loosely organized sets of Blood and Crips since the late 80's early 90's. People out here will fight in a heartbeat day or night tho. Over the years it's gotten worse with guns and stabbings which happens alot in Waikiki it just doesn't happen all the time like in other hoods. We have project buildings it's mostly filled with Micronesians and Samoans instead of Mexicans and Black people lol

It's sad because I live in the Big Island of Hawai'i and we have kids in my high school who also try to act like gangsters. While they are chill if you don't bother them and even funny at times, you can always hear them blasting music with their speakers in the halls all day, even during class. Also, you can catch students picking fights with other students (even teachers, though it's quite rare, but I still have seen it happen nonetheless), doing and dealing drugs, having s*x in the staircases, doing donuts in the parking lots, stealing, sneaking alcohol in their hyrdo flasks, and even bringing knives to school. Heck, just a couple of weeks ago a person stabbed another student in the back. The stabbing victim survived but it still tells you how bad it is. I don't know if these things happen in other schools but they shouldn't be.

"bringing knives to school"....thats childs play literattly compared to out here in California. Kids bringing pistols to school and school shooters too. Evil times we living in. And alot of yall glorify this lifestyle. SMH. Any nigga really from the hood is trying to get out the hood. You aint gotta be a square but actively gang banging after the age of 30 is lame AF IDGAF what none of yall say.

[@graysonofyahweh]

[@KFC_Giveaway]

@@graysonofyahweh I believe you, but that's not the point. What I'm trying to say is that kids SHOULDN'T be acting and shouldn't have to act like gangsters. They don't have to be all goodey two shoes, but they have to stop thinking that living a criminal life is "cool".

[@thizzfacecapone]

To the ones who say why there are gang bangers/ghettos in Hawaii, the price of living there is high due to tourism. I went to a bar there and the owner came out and drank with my party and he said he was barely making ends meet despite owning a bar near Waikiki beach(the popular beach).

[@VvvnimaL]

Due to tourism? Lol they'd be far worse off without it, fuck are smoking

[@eliteaesthetics5170]

It is actually 100% the fault of government. Tourism is the only thing keeping Hawaiians afloat. When you have a group of people whose ancestors have owned the land since before time, there is NO reason they should be priced out of something they already own. Property taxes are what f**ks them. If you own a piece of land from your ancestors and it goes up to millions of dollars in value, you SHOULD be richer. But when the government comes and demands you to pay a portion of the "value", you are screwed if the value is high. Property taxes force people to liquidate their land early while it grows in value because they cant afford the higher taxes while they are still working for a low income. I get what you're trying to say, and it's true there is an injustice here, but you're blaming the wrong party.... Source: I have an economics degree and work in finance and my family is from Hawaii.
