tha Blood/Crip thing has become a fad.
Ya know what though??? Bloods and Crips were never enemies till the CIA stepped in.....Norte/Sur rivalry has its story and if you a scarp or an eNe you should know why you bangin on each other....but Crips and Bloods is different....
Crip was started by adult blacc males who decided that thier families needed a networkin system to make sure of their survival in a world where the white man wanted them gone.......so C.R.I.P. (Community Revolution In Progress) was started and was a success....members had a fee they paid every month and the money would be put to good use to help the community...if a family was broke and needed groceries...they were takin care of....if someone came into a Crip hood starting problems they where takin care of......in other hoods the same thing was goin on....goin by different names....one of the first ever Blood setts was the Brimstones......there wasnt an automatic hatred amongst them and the Crips....till the CIA decided they didnt likeseein blacc people succeed when they werent supposed to...
thas when shit got outta hand....undercover agents posed as gang members ta start funk between hoods....then it fell into place...before ya knew it Crips hated Bloods and vice versa for justified reasons.....family members were being killed and retaliation was called for.....then when the CIA introduced cracc it made shit way worse...now the hoods were battling each other for sales and territories....so now about 40 or so years later its been through many phases....L.A. is were it started and for awhile it slowed down with truces from what i hear the youngstaz bringin the funk bacc....and the setts that spread up into Northern Cali battle for territory and money.....and Crip & Blood has changed from being a blacc gang to a hood gang....if you grew up in a hood that claimed it you are a part of it no matter what ya race is...
Some of us have grown up and realized that we cant hate another man just cuz of the place he grew up and hood he is from....i have had a few Blood homies that were realla than some of my own locs i grew up wit.....so for Crips and Bloods its not a funk on sight thang unless they hoods is at war for reasons bigger than a color or gang........
