I've dealt with the reality of gangs and have had them all too close to home.

It is at the end of the day a CHOICE. With that CHOICE comes consequences for their actions.

It is not survival to join a street gang, even when living in the inner city, or in 'the hood'.

It is a choice. Be that choice to make more money, or to have a fast life, but none the less it is a choice.

They chose the gangs for whatever reason and with that they choose to commit crimes. (And most of the time those crimes are aggrivated crimes including and not limited to murder)

So... the racisim that comes along with gangs is that for survival to? I think not.

@ the end of the day we will all make opinions based on our life experiences. We each see it differently from different sets of eyes. Some what they read online and some what they actually live.
