What Bangin' Can Get You

These clips are from the the Billy Wright DVD "War Stories."

The reason that I'm posting them is because too many people are fascinated with gang bangin', thinking it's a safe fad that they can have fun with. All of the naive comments and videos posted online of White boys crip-walking, is sickening. They have no idea what it's like being out on the block, watching every car that passes because you never know which one might start shooting. Or being confronted by someone who looks like you, but is ready to kill you because you're not from his neighborhood, therefore he considers your life worthless.

The life of a gang-banger is a destructive lifestyle, and nothing good can be gained from it. As someone who was raised in that environment, I can say that anyone who's ignorant of the realities of gang bangin' should feel lucky. It involves too much danger and stress for any rational person to want to be involved with it.

Gang-bangin' will only lead to a life of suffering!

(And no, I don't know the name of the songs in the video!)
