Crips and Bloods : Made in America

March 10, 2009 Front Page 1 Comment

Crips and Bloods: Made in America is a chilling documentary cataloging the role of the L.A. Police department in the creation of the Crips and the Bloods.  This piece of history is important.

We must educate ourselves about the history of our countries and people in order to understand who we are today and the systematic choices that have been made that have influenced our situations.  Violence and poverty have been affecting the black community disproportionately since the inception of this country.  If we don’t know understand the causes that have got us to where we are in this country we can’t solve it.
