Do you see gang members as "urban terrorists?"?!
Question: From the definition of the word "terrorist", I say YES. They strike fear in people in the community, they fight over land that isn't even theirs, and God forbid if you wear the wrong color around them or look at them wrong...
I'll take it a step further... as a black guy (and YES, that's me as the avatar), chances are MUCH better I'd get killed by another black guy than a member of the KKK. So I ALSO believe that gangbangers are worse than the KKK/Skinheads, etc...
The KKK killed a LOT of us and other minorities back in the day and were the source of hatred in American history. I'm talking about RIGHT NOW. I'll say it again: I'm more likely to be killed by a member of my race than the Klan.

I agree completely with what you said, and find it interesting that this question is posed by a black man. If you were white, you'd no doubt be called racist. Now a question for you: Do the people in your life know you have this viewpoint, and if they're black- do they take offense.. as though you're somehow being a traitor to your race?
NO...i see them as plain old terrorists..just like the KKK, republicans, skinheads, and boarder patrol agents..
and yes...it is like Chris Bridges said in "Crash"
Black people hurt other black people...because they are still afraid of White people!
no i am not joking!
i agree with you 100%
Nah man we keep it skreet. kno what um sayin
I understand and agree with what you're saying, and I'm more scared of hillbillies than of gang members.
You got it right, here and know we are talking about, we all know who is killing who so don't blame the whites for all the trouble
I think "terrorist" is thrown around a bit too much, but I do agree that they can meet the criteria. Any group that preaches hate and can become violent does though.
Don't even get me started on the KKK...I still hear ignorance about that group, living in Alabama. I never really understood racism until I moved here. Now I can't wait to move again.
I never thought of it that way before but it's definitely a yes from me
Yes, but unfortunate we are killing each other.black on black crime.
we dont have much black gangs where I live , but there are insane amounts of chollos .
I think they are urban terrorist and I secretlly wish they'd kill each other off
I couldn't agree with you more But to use your words, I'll take it one step further.
Where is the ACLU? Why are they silent when it comes to your civil right to be safe within your own home? To have your family safe to walk down the street?
No, sadly, you are right. They are urban terrorists. But they are protected. All their rights fully protected while yours are being stomped on.
Ok, I'll get off my soap box now. But damnit, it riles me to see honest people being abused and terrorized by our own people.
i see gangbangers as ******* lil punks who cant fight one on one so they choose to jump people i've never feared a gang i never will
I would have to agree with you.
I don't know anything about gangs outside of what I read.
There are no gangs where I'm from,,just a few punks trying to act big.
