I also heard about the DAMU's and other blood sets learning Swahili , to mask their conversations from mexican and white inmates when they get inside prison
This sounds a bit wild lol. Since African-Americans are really an American bred group of people who don't have any cultural and linguistic ties to Africa at all Cultural ties , yes. Linguistic ties , no. And who cares? DAMU is in itself , a Swahili African word. I guess they look at it as getting back in touch with their roots. Strange they use an East-African language. I thought African-Americans primarily descended from a mixture of West Africans with some East African admixture.

theres been alot of convictions and indictments against latino gangmembers recently for hate crimes against blacks. Heres a story where its the other way round. Crip Andre Copeland was involved with 5 shooting 2 of them being fatalities.
1 question to anyone that knows, what roles are the asians and other pacific isl/samoan gangs play in LAs gang landscape?
Gang member’s fate pleases L.B. officials Crime: Conviction of Crip Andre Copeland comes on heels of latest violence. By Wendy Thomas Russell Staff writer Long Beach Press Telegram LONG BEACH .Oct. 22, 3003- As Long Beach police continued to hunt for the man who gunned down a Marine corporal and his friend over the weekend, authorities on Wednesday quietly celebrated the conviction of Andre Copeland, a gang member responsible for two murders and a string of shootings in North Long Beach last summer. Copeland, 19, was found guilty of two counts of murder, six counts of attempted murder and five counts of assault with a firearm Tuesday in connection with five shootings between May and July 2002. A prosecutor called Copeland “Public Enemy No. 1 in Long Beach’ and, earlier this year, a Long Beach judge equated him to a serial killer. “He was responsible for a lot,’ Long Beach Police Detective Bob Erickson said Wednesday. “Had he not been arrested and taken off the streets, I don’t think what he was doing would have stopped. Between then and now, who knows what would have happened?’ Certainly, Copeland’s arrest and conviction were bright spots in the LBPD’s ongoing battle against local gangs. Last summer saw a spate of gang-related shootings, assaults and murders, primarily in the north and central areas of Long Beach. But the violence continues. Early Sunday morning, Marine Cpl. Sok Khak Ung and his friend Vouthy Tho were shot to death as they attended a barbecue near Seventh Street and Orange Avenue in Central Long Beach. Ung had recently returned from the war in Iraq, where he was injured and awarded the Purple Heart. Neither man was involved in gangs, but the barbecue at Ung’s family’s home was in the middle of Hispanic gang territory, and police suspect a gang member may be responsible. Similarly, Copeland’s murder victims Luciano Ramirez and Paul Griego Jr. were simply at the wrong places at the wrong times, authorities said. Ramirez, 18, was attending a Lakewood High School graduation party May 31, 2002, in the 5800 block of Orange Avenue when Copeland opened fire on him and four of his friends. Griego, 17, was buying a used car in the 6000 block of Cherry Avenue July 6, 2002, when Copeland shot him and the car’s owner. Coincidentally, Griego and Copeland both Long Beach residents shared the same birthday: July 19, 1984. Copeland, a member of a Crips gang, chose many of his targets based on their skin color, Deputy District Attorney Ken Lynch said. Most of Copeland’s victims were Hispanic, Lynch said, and Crips gangs notoriously oppose Hispanic gangs. The last of Copeland’s shooting victims Misael Espinoza was shot in the head in the 200 block of Norton Street while walking on the sidewalk. Espinoza lost an eye in the attack, and his head was left deformed, Lynch said, but he lived to identify his attacker in court. Copeland was 17 when he was arrested. He was tried as an adult, however, and now faces a maximum sentence of life in prison without parole when he is sentenced Nov. 13 by Long Beach Superior Court Judge Charles Shel

L.A. Jail Brawl Leaves Seven Injured As Inmates Fight Along Racial Lines Posted: April 3, 2013 An L.A. jail brawl left several injured after inmates separated along racial lines and fought. The brawl took place Tuesday afternoon, breaking out at the Twin Towers Jail in Los Angeles. The racially charged fight raged on for a few minutes before deputies were finally able to regain control. They used a barrage of pepper spray and sting balls to stop inmates from fighting. There were differing reports of the number injured, but it was reported that four were taken to the hospital after the brawl between Latino and black inmates. “We cannot say how many of the inmates were exactly involved, but 62 were in the area at the time,” Sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore said. Whitmore added that the incident is under investigation, and there will likely be charges for the inmates who fought. Los Angeles County has the largest county jail system in the world, housing close to 19,000 inmates each day. Authorities said the L.A. jail brawl is not all that uncommon of an occurrence. Disturbances there and at the neighboring Men’s Central Jail are common, but officials said multi-inmate brawls occur less frequently. For jail officials, the brawls have become an unfortunate reality as tension rises among inmates, who are separated by racial groups. “This is something that does occur throughout our jail system from time to time,” said Sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore said, as quoted by the L.A. Times. “People in our jails are under a lot of tension … and it does regrettably happen.” Those fights aren’t always just among inmates. In 2011, a fight broke out among Men’s Central jail employees at a Christmas party in Los Angeles. Afterward jail officials conducted a months-long investigation and fired seven deputies. Twin Towers Correctional Facility is known as the jail where Paris Hilton served time in 2007. Deputies noted that they’re still investigating the cause of the L.A. jail brawl.

article on the rolling 60s. Rollin 60s give unique window into gang culture By Beth Barrett, Staff Writer The Rollin 60 Neighborhood Crips is the largest black criminal street gang in the City of Los Angeles with over 1,600 active members - the size of an Army brigade. A dissection of its operations by the LAPD, which was obtained by the Daily News, provides a unique window into the city's gang culture as compiled through oral histories, gang statistics and other intelligence. In 1976, a faction of the city's original crip gang, Westside Crips formed as the Rollin 60 Crips. "There are different theories on how the name was derived and at the time many of the gangs were named after the streets within their respective neighborhoods," the overview says. One theory was that 60th Street "rolled" through the entire neighborhood, which today extends 27 blocks south from 48th Street to 75th Street, and west from Western Avenue to Overhill Drive. The gang was the first to specialize in take-over bank robberies, and with cash in hand began calling itself the "Rich Rollin 60s." Drug trafficking supplemented the robberies, while gang members engaged in homicides, assaults with deadly weapons, rapes, carjackings, vandalism and general intimidation of the community. Young members were recruited out of schools, particularly Westchester and Crenshaw high schools. Defined as a criminal street gang under the Street Terrorism Enforcement and Provisions Act (STEP), the gang marks its territory with graffiti, while members identify themselves through tattoos and clothing. The grafitti depicts feuds, as well as the names of active memebers, also known as "roll call," to announce who's "putting in work for the neighborhood." Common Rollin 60's tags include: RSC, RSNC, R60's, NHC 60's, Rich Rollin 60's, among others. Wearing any Seattle Mariners' sporting gear can be a sign of gang affiliation because of the trademark logo's large "S." Gang members also wear Chicago White Sox clothing for the "S." North Carolina powder blue sports attire also is worn, with the NC standing for "neighborhood crip." New York Yankee clothing also is worn with the "N" standing for neighborhood. The gang has spread throughout the country but the 77th Street Division in South Los Angeles is its stronghold with several known hangouts where they congregate. It is made up of three factions: Avenues, Fronthood and Overhill. The 60s call themselves a neighborhood "O's" gang, and keep alliance with other "O's," which includes the Rollin 40's and Rollin 90's NHCs. According to the history, the neighborhood nomenclature came out of a 1983 party where several Rollin 60's noted to some Rollin 90's that both names ended in "0" and suggested they should unite. The alliance has since expanded to other gangs. "The 60's are mortal enemies with all Blood gangs and all 'Gangster crip (GC)' factions," the LAPD overview says. One of the biggest feuds is between the 60's and the Inglewood blood gangs - particularly the Inglewood Family Gangster Bloods (IFGB), Neighborhood Pirus (Swahili for blood), and the Crenshaw Mafia. Rollin 60's also have feuds with Van Ness Gangster bloods (VNG), and the 62 Brims (six deuce Brims), where their name derives from 62nd Street. The 60's also fight with the 83rd Gangster Crips - "infamously known to have started the 1992 Los Angeles riots," the history says. The 60s also fight with all Hoover factions, a former Crips affiliate, which has denounced both the crips and bloods in favor of calling themselves the Hoover Criminals. The Hoovers wear orange, and sport "HCG" tattoos, standing for Hoover Criminal Gangster. http://lang.dailynews.com/socal/gangs/articles/dnp5_culture.asp

I saw a documentary on Soviet prison. They don't let any inmates interact, they said it leads to trouble. Maybe in some Black Dolphin prison, but other prisons aren't like that.

Some pc up some hold their ground if your the one that's educated in this how could you not know this? I'm not tryin' to make it seem like there's a whole army of black dudes in florence or in any eme affiliated group that would be completely false to say that, I am saying certain sets have had blacks it's no different than when mexicans join majority black gangs once they hit the pen some pc up to avoid conflict some stand tall not that common but it's there don't take my word for it though your the educated one. I was being sarcastic what happens is either they pc or go at it alone becuse the blacks in the joint wont except them because they were with mexis on the outside.And thos picks are not of florencia 13 which is who we are talking about actually I've met 2 . One was inthe 90s the other one I met was in the early 2000s . I don't know how it is now with F13 but back. When I met those dudes they were associated with him altho one guy was tryna clean up thougth
