white gangs

There are members of these gangs who are white.

If you want to see street gangs that are predominantly white you only need to look to the Eastern Seaboard. You wont have to look far.
 
My impression was that the street gangs that came to the fore with the crack cocaine epidemic were exclusively minority, I didn't know that any white boys aped them successfully.

The stereotype was that white gangs are bikers or skinheads, not bangers. But the meth epidemic, now that has to be spawning more 'street' oriented white gang organisations.
 
I suppose it depends on your definition of criminal gangs. After all, you could potentially look at classic mafia 'gangs', though families is the more accurate term.
There are numerous eastern European and Russian gangs (a quick look uncovered the wonderfully named Izmaylovskaya gang as an example).
 
Sparky & Alfafa had gangs - Capone had a gang.
When whe get into multi generational groups like the Bloods, Crisps, 64's, etc, socialalogicaily whe are talking Tribes.

It was the unassimulated tribes living in the city that sacked Rome when the Pope took the army out to stop Attilla's advance.
 
Functionally I don't think there would be that much of a difference in how said gang operates.

It might lead to less scrutiny of minorities in inner cities and less touchy racial tensions. Other than that I can't see any forseeable differences (although a white gang of a size comparable to the Crips would likely be divided upon further racial lines).
 
There are white street gangs. The Simon City Royals , Friends Stand United ( though there are nonwhites in it but the white members make up the majority), the European Kindred , the Almighty Gaylords , the Hammerskins , Public Enemy Number 1 , and a bunch of others.
 
Then they wouldn't be Bloods and Crips. The way in which the Crips got started was pretty integrally tied with them being black kids in 1960s Los Angeles -- and, of course, the Bloods split off from the Crips later.
No , the Bloods were formed from the various smaller gangs that the Crips fought. They adopted the color red since that was the opposite of blue.

Okay, you have at LEAST two threads started just today that are pretty clearly Troll threads. I also just responded to a complaint in a third thread.

In any league that is a K.

Alas he will be sorely missed, if only we had put women in the military, he may still be among us. :(
*serious mode*
Even if he was funny that makes sense.
