How the BPP accidentally produced what became the Crips
Cle Shaheed "Bone" Sloan, gang member and TV producer, speaks in the LA City Weekly on fake gang crime numbers, the LAPD’s racist history, and cop crime:"Out of the ashes of the Black Panther Party, Crips was born – Community Revolutionary Party Services, or the earliest term was Continuous Revolution In Progress. They wanted to continue the revolution. That was the beginnings of black gangs of that era. If you go back before the Crips and Bloods, all the way to the 1940s, the first gangs in South Central were white gangs called Spook Hunters. As a result of that, other gangs were born, black gangs – the Farmers, the Gladiators, the Slausons, the Businessmen.
"At that time, blacks were coming from the South, the whole black migration to Los Angeles. When they got here they were faced with a bunch of racism, and most of the high schools were controlled by white gangs. You had black parents putting their kids into schools and integrating them, and that was when they met resistance from the Spook Hunters, and that led to black gangs being formed to fight off attacks by the white gangs. It was totally self-defense.
"Then the whole political agenda came in in ’65, with the Civil Rights movement, the Black Liberation movement. Most of the gangs who were born out of the resistance to the Spook Hunters got politicized. A lot of Slausons went into the Black Panther Party, a lot of your Gladiators went into the Us Organization, [who were] cultural nationalists. You’ve got to understand, we had white flight at this time, too, so that’s how some of these gangs turned on each other – not killing each other, but they had a rivalry, with the whites leaving and blacks remaining as the dominant force in the area.
"From where I stand, the LAPD have always had a hand in this whole situation. I’m not crying victim or saying that’s why we’re banging, but they definitely have a hand in it. You can trace that back to the history of the LAPD; they were recruiting from the South straight to Los Angeles, because they had such an influx of blacks coming in from down South. They did a projection of how many blacks were going to be here by ’65 or ’67, and they felt they really needed to have a stronghold on the black population here. That’s probably the origin of a lot of the racism that’s part of the LAPD’s tradition.
"The FBI also definitely had a hand in it. [Former FBI agent] Wes Swearingen explained to me that his job was to come in and neutralize and discredit black leaders. 'Neutralize' means put in jail or even kill, and that wasn’t good enough. He said, 'We had to discredit them, also.' That’s what the whole Bunchy Carter thing was about. He explained to me they were going to kill Bunchy [of the Black Panther Party] down in the Watts area and make it look like a drug deal gone bad, but some of the infiltrators jumped the gun. Bunchy was later killed up on the campus of UCLA, him and [fellow Panther] John Huggins, but the original hit was going to go down in Watts and they were going to leave drugs around.

SWRP like the Spook Hunters attacking innocent Blacks & Mexicans, forcing them to create clubs for protection. They couldn't depend on anyone, like Cops, for protection. Cops were SWRP that physically harassed & abused them too. The only way to keep the communities safe was join forces. SWRP can't win fair fights, and The BPP leveled the playing field for Blacks around the country, by utilizing the Constitutional right uof the 2nd Amendment. The right to protect and defend oneself is a natural right that everyone has, without needing approval.
SWRP pick on the helpless & defenseless. Cowards despise level playing fields cause they can't win fair. When BPP took up guns, SWRP lost power to abuse & harass Blacks. Suddenly "Ni***r" changed to "African American." SWRP had to show respect & didn't like it. They cheated Blacks out their leveled playing field by sabotaging BPP. Murdered them in cold blood, fabricated charges to jail them, snuck around in the middle of night shooting them in their sleep. SWRP even had to shit on their own Constitution by creating laws to violate 2nd Amendment rights. Made it illegal for felons to own guns, then arrested Blacks in mass to make them felons.
Anything to un-level the field for their courage back. Crips wanted to protect the community from SWRP. CIA and FBI was scared of unity and resorted to sabotage by flooding LA with guns and drugs, destroying it. Crips couldn't afford tons of Cocaine and military weapons so they were given to them for the purpose it served. CIA drug trafficking helped arrest & murder the BPP empowered youth who would stand against SWRP. Soon as SWRP succeed, harassment & abuse started again, as did using "NI***R" without fear. Cowards got their power back by cheating.
But federal law can't supersede Constitutional. No laws can be made that infringe Constitutional rights. Self defense is more than a Constitutional right. BPP exposed SWRP for the Cowards they are and gave courage for others to stand against bully's & cowards.
And the Spook Hunters who despised Kennedy as being a "Ni***r lover" being in Compton around the same time as a future President, who happens to be the grandson of Hitlers business partner, accused of having also played a role in the assassination of Kennedy. And if that doesn't fuck with your head, the father of the son who would be President for 9/11, with the accused being non other than Bin Laden.
And having grown up around friends from both sides of the track in LA & SD, with OG dads and grandfathers around back then telling me stories of how brand new fully automatic military grade weapons really made it into the hands of frontliners. smh Real shit, I fear if unity isn't achieved between not just the homies but Americans in general, we'll all be fucked with sandpaper condoms with no way out ever again. Thats what all this gun agenda is about.. to disarm not just blacks, but whites and everyone else. Racists need to see their own kind stuck em in the same boat with everyone else. I've always had more respect for dudes like Bone, Big Wy, Space Ghost & Turtle then i ever had for lying snakes like Ollie North & Bush.. We can't afford to keep losing real ones.. Glad what went down with Suge wasn't worse than what happen. Luv & Respect my Dude.
