Ok, so someone explain to me the definition of a "Crip" and "Blood" and why?

Question

I hate gangsters.

Answer 1

The Crips is a street gang which originated in Los Angeles, California in the late 1960s. During the early 1970s, the gang grew and branched out to other parts of Los Angeles County. These new subsidiary or realigned existing gangs were known as sets, and they used the term Crips in their individual gang name.

Originally, most Crips activity took place on or around school campuses, and these gangs created a reputation for violence and extortion. Although a predominately Black gangs in most areas across the nation, many other ethnic groups have adopted the Crip name because of the on-going notoriety of the Crips and their rivals, the Bloods.

Crips usually identify with the color blue in several different shades and usually wear a blue rag or handkerchief as an identity item.

The Bloods formed from the Piru gang on 1972 at Centennial High School, taking the Piru Bloods name from "Piru" street in Compton, California. The group formed to protect members from the Crips. Other gangs with the same motive started using the Pirus’ and Bloods’ names to signify alignment with the main gang. Although the Bloods’ membership is smaller than the Crips, they are potentially more dangerous, particularly when present in numbers.

They most often identify with the color red. West coast gang members often use a red bandana and while on the East Coast they use red colored beads. They will also use various graphic styles and terms emphasizing a disrespect for Crips.

Although many of the group’s traditional trademarks and identifiers have remained the same, their allies and enemies change drastically depending on their geographic location. There have been several occasions in which the Crips and Bloods have aligned with other gangs for a common cause or goal.

Answer 2

ok...the are the samething...they both kill, steal and cheat...They are just from different sides of the track...My husband which is a blood, explained to me that crips (crabs) kill their own kind (friends , family), bloods (slobs) are more about hurting the other side and keeping their family safe...If you have ever seen the movie Training Day with Denzel and they go in the street that no cops would go..that is where the bloods are. (where my husband is from Jungles BPS) I hope this helps...Just so you know I know alot of bloods and they are actually nice once you get to know them, crips all I have ever seen them do is hurt people...
