qglas:hersheywrites:thesnobbyartsyblog:faitheboss:depressednmoderatelywelldressed:magnolome:TruLet’s please remember that gangs were created to protect their communities^^these gangs were created bc the white forces(police) refused to protect African American ppl. These young men in the photo are simply fulfilling their organizational duties by protecting the community.Community Revolution In Progress. Brotherly Love Overcomes Oppression and Destruction.^^^^^THANK YOU!!! I have been looking for the original acronym forever. It’s an amazing documentary called ‘Bastards of the Party’ that discusses this in full detail. I work with a lot of teen girls in gangs and the explanation of how they got in is so often “They gave me clothes and a place to stay.” “When the cops didn’t believe my dad was hurting me, they scared him off me and gave me protection.” “They looked out for me when I had nobody.”You cannot condemn gangs while offering no solutions for the crucial gaps in these communities. -- source link
