CABRINI GREEN HOMES (FORMERLY)
A political outlook. Chicago is a society between walls and city limits. If you stood on her blocks you stand among descandents of her generations. The bodies of chi town gangs have origins in one thing: communityprotectection.
"As the gangs joined into the political and social turmoil of the times, many gangs formed legitimate social and economic organizations, including a variety of educational programs (Short 1976), The Vicelords ran alternative schools and started businesses in Lawndale (Dawley 1992). The Blackstone Rangers built a controversial job training program with educational components (Fry 1973). But by the late 1960s public policy turned 180 degrees as mayor Daley and State Attorney Hanrahan declared “war” on gangs (Chicago Police Department 1969). The ensuing repression sent gang members flooding into the prisons and the era of experimentation was dead."-

Always the genesis of a united front; that counteracted issues of law. United fronts that offshooted out from the corners and homes and blocks of the community. But a united fronts that saw divisions: secterianism that competed over territories, methods and channels of the drug trade. BEHOLD THE MONSTER OF THE TRAP. Behold the "nations" of chicago: some at war. Some at rest. Some defunct.
Some rebirthed to empower communties. But all relevant in the struggle of chicago and urban america. Relevant to the knowledge of urban america..and relevant to those who seek knowledge to improve her.
And in efforts..the knowledge will prove her.

To name a few. Gangs have a prescence and purpose by design, race and culture. This article and focal point centers urban America: which identifies with two nations spread out the states as a conglamorated effort: the People, and Folk nation. But relatively from a nation comes a seed.
To Build A Home.
Grandfather gangbanged for his community in a conscious attire; political. His son gangbanged for his community ..to his block..which is his turf of his gang. His brother and his own son banged for their turf..their alleigence and for their share of profits in the drug trade. His own son did all the same as his forefathers practised and is facing 25 to life in a federal pen for distribution of controlled substance and 3 counts of murder. To build a home gives understanding it begins at home. Even now in 2016 theres 2 paths destructive and non destructive. Whats the cost to keep this generation from earning the same fate? If there is a portion for whats considered as minorities in Chicago..and the portion is poverty drugs and murder..the weight of the young "savage" is in the concern of believer. And his fate is in the choices of the subject.

As a freelancer..a Journalist of conscience, a recording artist aware.. i almost never ride waves of exploited media. Spotlighted propaganda..wide roads that feed everything, but the why of the cause and solutions in depth. Major films and culture enriching work that attribute to a dying culture. Forums that speak on it but never redeem it. Wide roads that produce nothing but the large percent of destruction. The generations of Chicago out cry for help in many ways..from jails to cold blood. The trap..and the death of a people. Chicago's crying for help. Those advocates from within and without that hear.. can respond. The greatest people that can respond to chiraq ....is chiraq.
