Replies kidd rune Posted at 1:49 pm on Jan. 10, 2009 People saying gangs have nothing to do with race are lol. East-Asians have a higher average income than Whites - yet they have more gang members per capita than Whites. (In the USA) Al Legator Posted at 1:26 pm on Jan. 10, 2009 Oh here we go again. Gangs develp from certain cultural backgrounds -generally poverty, hopelessness and a sense of fear. gangs offer some protection (though open up other threats obviously) and income for short term gain. Colour or race have nothing to do with it. Black people in both places you mention have been beaten down for centuries and treated like animals. In S. Africa, it's been less than one generation since black people regained the slightest bit of political or social control in their lives.It takes longer than that to overcome a couple of hundred years of oppression and socio-economic factors that kept black people living in poverty and powerlessness. In the US, it's better and things are more advanced than even present-day S. Africa but the history is depressing. And while it's MUCH better than at any other time in American history, balance is not yet achieved and in many parts of the country the same factors that lead to gangs in the 50's are still there now.
