Are there any multiracial gangs?

The Park Village Compton Crips (PVCC) have both black and Samaon members. I don't recall another gang with that type of ethnic variation in th numbers ofmembers you see in the PVCC gang. I also noticed that some Salvadoreans are members of 18ht Street (a mostly Mexican gangs) and some Mexicans are members of MS (mostly Salvadorean gang).

I know when Bill Cosby's son was killed by Markhasev, a 19-year-old Ukrainian immigrant who moved to Los Angeles with his mother in 1989, was a reputed gang member with a troubled past there was some speculation about this.

No, there's no Russian street gangs in LA. There might be some Russian organized crime activity but no gangs. The Russians in LA are mostly middle class Jewish people. Poor whites seem to stay away from LA. There's very little white gang activity in LA, even bikers are rare. Chicago though, is another story. There's alot of poor European immigrants and people from Apalaichia living there so you have white gangs like Royals, C-Notes and 12th Street Players plus bikers like Outlaws MC and skinheads crews.

I agree with Casper, I've never seen any East Indian gangs. There used to be an Indian dude from Sotel. His gang name was Sabu. He's the only E. Indian gang banger I've ever seen. Another group that doesn't seem to bang is Ethiopians.
Some Persians bang but I don't think they have their own gangs.

WELL yesterday i saw a movie with van diesel the name is ''a man apart''
its a bullshitt movie about ex gangmemba turned cops and busting the whole tijuana cartel with a knife you even have that lil busta from menace to society the corean killa one ... i put this on this topic cause in the movie you had a white gang from norwalk they looked like arian brothers but they had nazi tatoo mixed with 13 and surenos type of clothing one of the chief had 13 tatooed on his neck i know its only a movie but iv heard about nazi low riders down with la eme and wearing cholo style clothes and in all those i e and orange county suburns they may exist , i was wondering if new generation of cali skinheads have traded their doc marteens and bombers jackets and their english style clothings with l.a cholos gang members ...

There's truth to it bgCASPER. I know of one older NLR guy who cliqued right up with a homie fresh out of Pelican Bay who did an extra year because he participated in the riot (He really didn't have a choice if you know what I mean). Some of his homies (White and Hispanic) would come by to work on their lowriders on the weekends and several had Mexican girlfriends. I lived in those Costa Mesa apartment complexes for awhile once upon a time and saw what was going on there on the surface. Not involved though personally as I was on a positive track.

I've been reading this book recently called Red Mafiya: How the Russian Mod has invaded America (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/de ... s&n=507846), and it talked both about Russian organized crime and street gangs. Here is an interesting excert:

"The People's Courts, which existed in towns and communities throught the country were largely administered by a special breed of colorful law breakers called vor v zakonye--or "thieves-in-law"--a fraternal order of elite criminals that dates back to the time of the czars. They first arose during the reign of Peter the Great (1682-1725), incubated in the vast archipelago of Russia's prison camps. There, hard-core felons banded together in tight networks that soon spread throught the Gulags. Members were sworn to abide by a rigid code of behavior that included never working in a legitimate job, not paying taxes, refusing to fight in the army, and never, for any reason, cooperating with the police or State, unless it is to trick them. A giant eagle with razor-sharp talons emblazoned on their chests announced their status as vors; tatoos on their kneecaps meant they would never bow to anyone. They even developed a secret language that proved to be virtually indecipherable to authorities, and set up a communal criminal fund, or obschank, to bribe officials, finance businesses ventures, and help inmates and their families.
The vor brotherhood grew in strengh to the point that they began to play an unusual role in the nation's history. They taught Lenin's gangs to rob banks to fund the communist revolution. Later enemies of the new state used them to dissension, fear, and chaos. During the Second World War, Stalin devised a plot to annihilate the thriving vor subculture by recruiting them to defend the motherland. Those who fought with the Red Army, defying the age-old prohibition of helping the State, were rewarded by being arrested after the war and thrown into the same prison camps with the vors who had refused to join the epic conflict. The "collaborators" were branded suki, or bitches. At night, when the Arctic concentration camps grew miserably cold, knives were unheathed, and the two sides hacked each other to pieces; barracks were bombarded and set on fire.
The "Vor Wars", or "Bitches Wars", lasted from 1945 to 1953. When they were over, only the vors who refused to battle the Nazis survived. By then, they wielded ultimate authority in prison, even over wardens, importing liquor, narcotics, and women. They slept near open windows, away from the communal toilet, where according to their beliefs, only homosexuals and weaklings were fit to reside. Vors became made men in Soviet prisons only after they were recommended by at least two other vors. Even today, this nearly mythic criminal cult is one of the most dynamic forces in the Russian underworld."

The back cover of the book:
"In the days of the 1970s detente, thousands of hard-core Russian criminals swarmed into the United States--not to partake in the American Dream, but to steal it. The Russian Mob was born. With chilling ease it inflitrated American business, politics, finance, and professional sports. It carved its own savage niche in exortion, drug dealing, money laundering, military weapon sales, and murder-as-blood-sport to emerge as an international "criminal colloseus." For nearly thirty years, its existence has been the best-kept secret in the world."

According to the book however the Russian gangs in the U.S operate mostly in Brighton Beach, New York, also known as Little Odessa. They also have networks in Miami, and other parts of the country.

When you're done with that Polako, read The Gulag Archipelago: 1918-1956 by Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn. I read it like three times in a row. You can really follow a personal account that lays out pre-detente Soviet prison gangs/crime. It is considered a must read for any serious student in this area.

I finished that book "Bloods" over the weekend. I've read many like it growing up and do have to agree with the correlation others have drawn about how the Bloods found their name.

[Snowman]

I've been told by some reliable sources that 18th street is completely multiracial, and has hispanic, white, black, native and everything else in it. I've also heard that some crip sets have began to let in latinos and even some whites but the bloods are strictly all black but only with a few asian sets.

Maybe some latino gangs also let in blacks and whites, like the Evergreen Boyz have had photos published on one website with both 2 blacks and 2 latinos in the same picture.

[MIDTOWN SB]

Trust No One Gangstaz is a black and hispanic gang

[Silencioso]

18th Street isn't a multiracial gang. That's just hype. The L.A. Times was saying that, too, a while ago. 18th is solidly Latino, mostly Mexicans and alot of Central Americans. They have quite a few white, Asian and black members. Maybe more than the average Mexican gang but still no more than 5% of their total membership.

You have to understand the L.A. gang scene is VERY racial. So if a gang has even a few of another racial group people may speak of them as being "mixed".

[MIDTOWN SB]

18st got a lot of amros in it in some areas

[Silencioso]

Amros? Is that Armenians?

[MIDTOWN SB]

chea

[Pershing]

Do you consider Armenians Arabs or caucasians? Considering the nation is not really in Europe. Turkey is another hard race to classify.

[Young]

The Rollin 60s have some white and hispanic members although not enuff too call it multiracial....

the BLACK PEACE STONE bloods, mainly jungles, have some asian and white members..well maybe not white but asian for sure...

BFGC3s have two white members..one with g status....

[Young Nile]

The Eighteen's do have alot of Blacks from they hood.

I dont know if there still around but there used to be a hood called Alki Boyz short for Alcholic Boyz (ABZ) They Were a good mixture of Hispanics and Blacks. That was along time ago it probaly pured itself out by now.

Also ATC Addicted to Crime. There were alot of Black and Mexicans both claiming that hood back in the day.

[Silencioso]

I don't know if Armenian people consider themselves white or not but they're Caucasians not Arabs and they're Christians also, not Muslims.

[Pershing]

White and Asian are the same aren't they? And they are not in Europe but on Middle Eastern penisula.

[Pershing]

I meant to write Caucasian not Asian.

[Cereal_K]

Is there a gang of all whites in los angeles or other part of California ????

[wcrockets]

Yes. There is NLR, the Insane White Boys, La Mirada Punks, Independent Skins, and Orange County Skins, SHARP, some car clubs, and some smaller non W/P neighborhood groups out there.

[Silencioso]

Armenia is in the Caucasus Mountains that's where the term Caucasian comes from.

White and Caucasian aren't really the same thing.


Caucasian (kô-kE2zhõn, -kazh2õn) adj.
1. Anthropology. Of, relating to, or being a major human racial division traditionally distinguished by physical characteristics such as very light to brown skin pigmentation and straight to wavy or curly hair, and including peoples indigenous to Europe, northern Africa, western Asia, and India.

[PolakoMafia]

Than do you consider Russians caucasian, or white? Also, tell me example who is white and none caucasian, and caucasian but not white.
