Moving past the periodic table and Shakespeare's sonnets, I feel like we have barely scratched the surface of knowledge.
Todays Lesson: Know Your Gangs
Kids, you may live in a city where not everyone is super "friendly". It's safe to assume that anyone who does not wave, or smile at you is in a gang. That's the easy part of today's lesson. Now, the challenge is to decipher what gang they might be a part of.
The bloods: One of my personal favorites. Members of the bloods typically wear red and contort their hands in a way that spells "blood". The color red is a source of power...nice job on selecting a color bloods. The hand symbol shows creativity and most likely a familiarity with sign language, therefore we can assume that there are good number of deaf bloods.
The Crips: Contrary to their rivals, the bloods, the Crips prefer the color blue. What does this say about the Crips? The color blue symbolizes trust and stability. Kids, if your parents kick you out of the house, kick it with the Crips. They will supplement your old lifestyle with a new, trusting and stable home. The Crips have also been known to rearrange words that contain the letter B, and replace them with the letter C, due to their rivalry with the bloods. This is a clear indication of intelligence and a familiarity with alphabet soup.
The Vice Lords: Clearly the most sophisticated of all gangs, the Vice Lords are a Chicago gang that are identified by a top hat, a cane and a martini glass. It's safe to say that if you see anyone, with any of these items, go ahead and assume that they are a part of the Vice Lords and start to run.
Well ,that concludes today's lesson. Take this knowledge, plant it and let it grow.
