Great American Youth (Part 3 of 4) Documentary

Great American Youth (Documentary - Part 3 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

This Johnny Boy has a cold heart. I bet he cooled out some problems in his day.

the puerto rican guy saying ' i got a right to walk on fullerton ave'...can a white person walk into any hood in puerto rico? uh, no. so why do we have to always bend over for every group of people that comes over here?

[boogiechillen123]

@Fusionfreakdrummer- yeah genius, puerto rico isn't a state, its a mistake. Its something the U.S. got involved with a long time ago and should have cut loose. You still can't dispute what I originally said, which is that white people bend over backwards for EVERY group that comes over here, muslims, asians, hispanics, whatever. And they pay us back by claiming hoods and whole cities and crying about shit from 100-200 years ago!

It's a pro American gang. That had a long history. The gangs of today have no history what the south side of Chicago needed was more gangs like this may of saved some neighbors. From turning to shit so fast. Like the the man said look at my neighborhood now. That was the story of most of south side of chicago

@boogiechillen123 you ignorant white people never cease to amaze me. um, you did know that white people did went to puerto rico and took over that island for hundreds of years right? on top of that, they killed and raped native puerto rican people. they are called spaniards. for some reason you white people seem to forget that spaniards are white. just cuz they speak spanish doesnt mean they are latino. plus your racist white ancestors came here and killed the natives and raped them also.
