Not at all, I think they're fakkits of the highest order, if it were up to me, gangbangers who put everyday Black ppl in danger should be rounded up and thrown off high buildings

I agree with much of the sentiments. I personally avoided any negativity. So such things I stayed far from.
What say you though of say your pastor belonging to the same orgs or fraternal blah blah as your favorite businessman. law enforcement, teacher etc etc

consider those "gangs" too?
I would say no.

A gang member without a gang around them or a gun

picture that

Take them outside of their natural habitat in South Chicago, Atl or South Central and put one in Berlin or Paris see how they fare.

When I was a child, I had to take them seriously because they were all around me from family to friends. As an adult, I do not think about them beyond the periodic news story on some gang violence.

It is.

I'm not saying I like it, or even condone it. But I am saying that we take them dudes serious.

I believe it, one of my closest dudes moved out to Vegas and did work in long Beach for like 4/5 years and he told me it's very different out there compared to nyc. They schooled the fukk outta him. He was like mfz out there gave him history on the sets and it's really about neighborhoods. If you not sanctioned they looking at you sideways and might bang on site.

Y’all need to deal with gang members just to get some gas? All the plugs where I’m from be white nerd types. With secondary jobs.

I don’t deal with anyone else, too much headache associated dealing wit someone who only sells weed for a living. Says a lot about they character. Weirdos

Depends on the group but 99% of the time, no.

Corruption's a whole nother (given) thing but I'll put it like this – a union using membership dues to rent out a strip club and and a crudely organized group of ppl killing innocents that look like them are both bad, but the latter's worse

Had to worry about some of them when I was a kid/teen but even then if you weren’t in the life or pretending to be and you carried yourself like you had some common sense like minding your business than you were good 9 out of 10 times. Newark and the surrounding areas have a lot of gangs at least back then. Now that I’m older it’s just something I hear about on the news or in music. Don’t associate myself with it.

They are comprised of a lot of people that don't care about the consequences of committing criminal acts, so yes, I take them seriously, and stay away from them.

Full agreement. From a historical perspective, such negative groups sometimes move into business, politics, law, unions etc.
Or specifically their children.
irish, italians etc etc

Seems the epiphany is simply a realisation that money/legacy trumps all.
Especially violence and destruction.

DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU MEAN BY TAKE SERIOUS. GANGS ARE A NON FACTOR IN MY LIFE. YOU CAN MOSTLY IGNORE THEM IF YOU'RE NOT IN THAT LIFE.
basically this, everyone is serious when they put a gun in your face, whoop ya ass or press you about where your from or what color you are wearing.
