Women need to stop "wanting" thugs, drug dealers, gang members, and rappers and they wouldn't have to worry about too much about creating this type of scenario.

[@thechi2848]

Just for some clarity to many who may not have listened or is confused about anything. Black P Stone in Chicago evolved from the BlackStone Rangers to the Black P Stone Nation around 1966. T Rodgers and his family moved to L.A. around 1969 or 1970, remember there were no bloods in 69 or 70. So BPS going to California in 69 were supposed to be its own entity not joining no other group, but of course the Crip onslaught forced BPS to join the blood alliance like other gangs did. But they never came back to Chicago as bloods as some have mentioned, they stayed in L.A. as bloods, big difference.
