Bloods and Crips rule
by
Baba Bob Shipman | 12.14.2009
While most of the city administration and the administration of the school district of Philadelphia, meet and plan and meet, no one told them the full story. Who would believe in this fair city drug lords and Asian gangs imitating the west coast gangs. The nationality of one group (Chinese)has carried a posture of eliteness that youth dislike. Related from YoungPhillyPolitics: Philadelphia Student Union's statement about the violence at South Philadelphia High School | Targeted because we're Asian: South Philly students speak out about racial assaults This is a story i just did not want to write. I sat on the sidelines while story after story fell short of the big picture and the most important facts. Folks would say, what do you mean asia gangs with names like Bloods and Crips, no way in this city, in these times. Well wake up Philly, it has been going on for about 10 years. Just as the italian, jewish, irish and negroes migrating from the south, the groups banded together to protect each other from other groups of people. It has developed here in south Philly too. It was so bad 2-3 years ago that we thought the whole city would find out! See the blacks located in the nieghborhood from 8th street to 4th street from washington avenue to jackson st, held the drug sales in their pocket.
