Gangs,
It is suposed to be the east side bloods,
And the west side crypz,
but anymore. you will have your eastside crypz, and west side bloods.
Bloods wear red ( blood) and cryptz usualy wear baby blue, and white. But it also depends greatly on which part of the nation your in. I'm around 5 points denver, and that's what I see on the streets.
leavemethefreakalone -
They aren't ALL Black,
I've seen plenty of white cryptz and bloods walking around. That's a racial generalization.
???LOVE???
REPESENT THAT S*IT!!!

The Los Angeles (LA)-based Bloods and Crips are probably the most widely recognized gangs in America due to the media exposure received in the 1980's. These groups have migrated throughout the country and are seen in most states and their prison populations. There are literally hundreds of sets or individual gangs under the main Blood and Crip names. They are no longer racially specific.
In Florida, the presence of the Chicago-based Folk Nation and People Nation is so prevalent, that the Crips and Bloods have developed allies under these alliances. Bloods traditionally align themselves with the People Nation and Crips with the Folk Nation. This alignment may vary for local jurisdictions due to competition for drug territory or violence against one another.
These alignments are often communicated in their graffiti.
There are, however, areas of the country where Crips and Folk groups such as the Black Gangster Disciples are in competition for the drug trade and thus, are rivals. This is illustrated in their graffiti by use of the "eight ball." If the "eight ball" is drawn or displayed intact, then the sets are aligned. If it is cracked or drawn through, there is dissension among the groups. The "eight ball" is significant because when you bring the hand sign for the Crips and the 'pitchfork' hand sign together it forms an 8-ball.
