Great American Youth (Part 4 of 4) Documentary

Great American Youth (Documentary - Part 4 of 4) This short documentary film is a historical overview of the evolution of Chicago's Largest White Street Gang, The Gaylords. It follows them from their inception in the 1950's until the Present Day. The piece explores what happened when the neighborhoods got marginalized because two cultures could not assimilate. Simple questions like the why, what and how lead to brutally honest responses from members in how they dealt with their opposition. A vivid recollection of what it took to walk the mean streets of Chicago as a gang member

I wasn't a Gaylord, But in the 80's but I knew and still know alot of em, GOOD guys in my book....Pisses me the fuck off all you jagoffs who WEREN'T or aren't from Chicago's streets and have shit to say about protecting OUR hoods???

If you didn't bleed for your beliefs and neighbors like we did, shut the fuck up.

Seereal,

You have it rong man. These guys atleast fought to keep the city and their values alive. Now you can look and see what they were fighting for seeing the city has turned to shit as a result of your "real brothers". You people destroy everything you touch, and youre proud of it? These guys grew up, got jobs, they are raising familys. You people will always just be stupid street thugs, youll never grow to anything more. Your kids grow up without fathers, you have no values.

This film brought back a lot of memories. I looked up to a lot of guys at KP, it was tough being Italian and Irish living on Kostner Ave. back in the late 80s. Though I was never officially a member, I knew who had my back and who I would throw hands with together if the occasion arose. A lot of those guys taught me never back down and stand up for myself. I miss those days when you could box, throw hands and be a man without using a fucking gun. it's a shame what the park looks like now. -Slim

Theres still alot of GayLords still around and we still have Chicago sets along with sets throughout chicagoland and also out of state chapters... Still the same name. An we're the whole racism thing is taken out of context... I know plenty of GLs that are mex,pr, asian, native, an other races. We just dont liek forieign culture... 712

[KILLZBARRYDO3BOY]

Much respect to you GLz for having so much love for your hoods but no respect to the racist shit you guys were doing...Maybe you guys could start a comeback but you would need to change the name around just a lil

[KILLZBARRYDO3BOY]

The main reason why the GLz did not last was there name and the fact that they were on more racist shit then the Simon City Royals,,,C-notes & Dueces those gangs are still around becuse they aloud Latin and black members to join.....The word GAY was not a good choice sorry to say I know it had meaning but still...Its sad that such a large gang lost all there sets cuz you guys had some great hoods now your old hood is my hood thats crazy and my wife is r.i.p. lil mad doggs daughter
