(Yes, right now it's just me making everything)
Editor's Note: My edits were all made to keep the video on one, central topic by editing together relevant commentary from many parts of Hasan's streams to create a storyline that is still followable by the viewer. I also edited in commentary of my own in places, in addition to relevant external information that improves the viewing experience. A lot of edits were made for comedy purposes, or to enhance the comedic timing of certain beats, but never to misrepresent Hasan's point of view.

The chat's response to this instantly reminded me how white/segregated the Twitch community is. The reason why these gangs existed and were so violent were because of organized political affairs, and blatant racism. In the early 80s when poverty skyrocketed thanks to Reagan when he took away people's welfare and food stamps, black/brown neighborhoods started to suffer a lot more. The quality of life was rapidly declining for many. A lot more Housing Projects were being built, and many were moving into them. For a lot of kids or adults living in that situation, seeing others lifting themselves out of that by producing/selling drugs, it felt like the only option. Because so many legal options were against them.
The mid-80s is when the War on Drugs started, which was a heavily racialized political stance (and illegal scheme) by Reagan and H. W. Bush, especially used as a topic during the 1989 Election. The Reagan Admin. started to secretly and illegally sell weapons to Iraq throughout his entire presidential run. Then, they would take that money and fund guerilla groups in Nicaragua named 'Contras', who was undergoing a civil war throughout the 80s with a Cuban-influenced communist government (which during the Cold War meant big bad no no no! You must perish!). Reagan also sent Army reconnaissance which included aircraft, and Contras being guerillas and apparent drug dealers would place crates of crack onto Army aircraft, which was "miraculously" never officially reported. The CIA published a report in 1996 after word started to spread around black communities that the government might have had a hand in turning a blind eye to drug smuggling if it was for black people, and they were ultimately correct.
H. W. Bush was responsible for beefing up police across the country in order to "stop" the crime, giving them more permissions (instead of actually helping people of color, of course not they're the bad guys), and increasing prison populations of specifically black men by the hundreds of thousands. These changes have permeated since, and are responsible for *some* of the cop attitudes we see today. Many cops were/still are racist, planting drugs and making up offenses, with very harsh federal prison sentences for small amounts of drug possession being placed at the time. Single mother out working to provide, which could easier lead to the situation of gang initiation in the 90s. All of this should be taught in high school. None of this is 'critical race theory', this is all very real history that has caused very real segregation and pain for tens of millions of Americans.
Yep it's so crazy how naiveté some of the chat is, I hear the story and I mentally have a checklist going of proper, engaging structure for kids growing up to meet whatever need that is expressed, but older now and trying to apply those things IRL so it comes easier I guess lol. People failing to understand it's not the words, it's the need for an environment that allows the child to nurture and grow, while being socially and communally heard, accepted and respected. This stuff is universal, people need to realize the simplicity there and understand where to go from there.
THIS.
😂😂
I can’t even imagine trying to kill myself and not only failing but being charged 25,000 USD for being hospitalized against my will……..I’m so glad your friend is better now though
i mean that's kinda ur fault LOL
Dude when I spoke to a buddy of mine who grew up in North Oakland in the 90s, he told me about how he watched his best friend bleed out for an hour and a half while they "waited" for the ambulance. Guess who stopped them, the Oakland PD, guess why? I was beyond shocked he was describing the USA.
Every time
@@youtuber-tg1pu Yes, because laughing at being bankrupted by for-profit healthcare in a capitalist system is such a bloody riot, right?!
I'm guessing your politics are really wholesome...
I was hit as a pedestrian in a hit and run and the ambulance ride that was a total of 3 miles cost me 8k and in total im still in 45k in medical debt because someone else hit me
The thing about ambulances is that I remember once someone told me "Ambulances are not taxis to carry you to the hospital" to justify the unimaginable high cost of them, and I was like "YES, THEY ARE EXACTLY THAT. THAT IS THE WHOLE POINT OF AMBULANCES."
they also keep you alive while on the way to the hospital. I would know, I would not be typing this if I skipped the ambulance.
As a EMT I gotta say it’s both true and false, there are some people you can advise to get transport to hospital by family or friends, but there are some people that absolutely need it. It decreases the risk dying on the way, increasing your chance of survival in the ED. But yea the cost is fucking crazy which is why you should know you can refuse transport at any time if you’re conscious and aware. Just make sure you have a ride to the hospital.
What the others said. Might as well take a taxi if you think that lol.
I once met a guy while crystal mining in eastern California. He said he trashed his motorcycle because he was attacked by a biker gang and went through a fence and then into someone's porch. He woke up in the ambulance hearing the ambulance driver ask if he should head to the morgue and asked "do you mind if we stop by the hospital first?" Still not sure how much was true, but I was convinced at the time he believed it.
@@7thDayAdventures ambulances don’t transport people to the morgue. He definitely had some head trauma and wasn’t clear headed when he was on the ambulance.
It's literally just kids looking for a crumb of stability, support, and validation. Every day the idea that they're never going to amount to anything and that they'll always be broke like their mom or arrested for nothing like their dad gets drilled into their head.
Then they find a group that will give them a purpose, encourage their efforts, reward their achievements
That’s the nice way to say manipulate the youth into doing criminal acts to supplement
its more than that
imagine you have to walk through your own neighborhood and get challenged by the kids about getting your ass kicked everyday
soon, you will just be one of them because thats the way of survival when no one else will have your back.
Black people are starving for gang. White boys can't relate on hood tings
Nah u wrong af. Unless you experience the dynamic, don't speak on it.
I haven't looked into why, but the city I live in in Virginia doesn't charge for an ambulance. I'm very thankful for it.
Maybe a grant? Or local taxes
@@apexsyndicate1055 taxes makes sense. I'm going to look it up real quick
@@apexsyndicate1055 wow, I didn't realize it's been a thing for 80 years
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Beach_Department_of_Emergency_Medical_Services#:~:text=Virginia%20Beach%20is%20the%20largest,1%2C100%2B%20volunteers%20throughout%20the%20city.
Mine was recently changed to have a charge. Apparently it's so they can take advantage of the insurance. If the insurance doesn't cover it, you can fill out a form to have it cleared.
Just wanted to say i appreciate the sound effect you put with your annotations; i often listen during work and when i hear that i always know to run it back 10 seconds so i can look down to read your input because it never misses 👌
Yo I didn’t expect the “I was also a cop” plot twist. I’m sorry I was also a gang member and I would never. F12
The Vice Lords in Chicago in the 60s, we're primarily a club. They did food drives, meals and other community and social welfare projects. Things evolved over time due to the economics of the drug trade. The history is fascinating. I did a research paper on it in college. Way back in the day.
Chicago resident. Alot of gangs back in the day started for less aggressive causes and then it evolved.
Watch the documentary Bastards of the Party. It tells more the history of the creation of Bloods and Crips and how it came from the Black Panther movement.
If you go through the RUclips “gun community”, you’ll constantly see comments like “I bet the homies wouldn’t be able to hit a target even if they had this thing” and “this gun is popular on the block cus even if you one hand it it doesn’t miss.” Also a lot of “series” on “hood guns” where these white dudes in full Tacticool gear do offensive Black people impressions and spray some illegal gun like mad. It always infuriated me. Black communities have been living in war zones for the past fifty years. These people on the streets are soldiers. Trained, skilled, knowledgeable warriors up against the world’s most militarized police force. They’re no joke.
Troll comment. If not, unhinged dork nerd comment.
Yeah I agree the RUclips gun community can be cringe. But you’re definitely glazing lmaoo the crips aren’t running the rabbit and clearing corners
Foh glorifying them calling them soldiers. I grew up in that area. These guys murdered innocent people in my neighborhood for nothing. Literally grandmas walking home from the store. They force kids into their gangs from the local schools. They also stole shit out of our backyard probably including our dog.
@@CandidateKev You forget some crips have rainbow six siege
@@CandidateKevwhy do you believe that?
What crazy about l gang culture is that is permeates into every other subculture. I was a graffiti kid and after the 06 gang injunction in Long Beach where they arrested every known gang member on the same day. All hell literally broke loose we had no Og’s the most knowledgeable Street guys where the older graff homies. We ended up beefing with the new gen crips and southsiders. Our crews ended up having to be extremely knowledgeable on California prison politics. And a lot of our members where solidified in the system. Without ever becoming officially sanctioned by the Mexican mafia. It’s a weird gray area now that most gang members locked up during the gang injunction got back out. That power vacuum caused irreparable damage to our generation. Most of the artists from my generation managed to swerve gang banging but it’s still got them killed in the end. See Drakeo the Ruler of the Stink Team or MoneySign Suede of parkside.
@@robfunke909 Ignorant take
@@robfunke909very insightful
I'm definitely part of that 'obviously white' sect of Hasan's community. The first time I had a chance to mix with other races was in the Navy, but they never really talked about the details. One thing that was always a common denominator was the poor living conditions and hopelessness of their neighborhood.
I'm thankful for videos like this so I can understand things with more context. I'll never have that background growing up and will never really understand what it is like, but at least I can understand why it exists and who caused it. Maybe 2 people from my small white town would have ever bothered looking deeper into the issue, but they sure love doing the soldier boy dance and throwing up fake gang signs. Same people are posting racist Trump memes on Facebook these days. Hope we can do better than this someday.
This is by FARRRR the best fan channel. I see the work you put in man keep going. low key dawg you might want to look into this shit as a carrer
I hope ur friend is alright
Thank you
glad to hear :D
We joke sometimes that it's lucky their depression wasn't for financial reasons because if it had been then that bill would have been lethal!
... it's messed that for many others it probably has been :(
I’m also glad to hear your friend is doing alright!! What you mentioned reminded me of my partner and I’s situation. We live/grew up in Texas (hate it here). I was hospitalized for a week and a half when I was 16 after attempting suicide (shortly after two family members, my older brother and my uncle, had died by suicide, so I was very high-risk). $8000 after insurance. My dad took on extra work to pay it off.
My partner attempted suicide when he was 18. Was hospitalized for a week and a half. His parents never visited while he was there and never offered to help him pay for it (he was not on their insurance, he had insurance through his job). $10,000 after insurance. He never paid a cent of it and figured he’d be better off waiting a few years for it to come off his credit report.
I was waiting for this >:)
Whenever you need hope remember there are people like Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez
he said his main allure was that he really liked blue clothes. lmao
Nice vid
I really wish that someone showed Hasan the Pat Stay vs Arsenal battle where Pat had a whole round about how he wanted to make an app for crips that auto corrected all words that start with B to C lmfaoo. 😂😂
Omg I just saw what you posted about that ambulance bill.. I know theyre insane but thats an entirely different level of fucked up... holy
He has a little bit red from the nba logo 😂
The guy feels like live footage of what it means to be WAAAYY TOO easy-going. It just feels like somebody can go to him and goes. Do you wanna rob this person … he just says sure! Wanna shoot up this car and he just says sure! Wanna become a cop he just says sure! Wanna advise kids he just says sure! Want to do a movie he’s like sure! Wanna go on RUclips and tell everyone about your crimes sure ! I’m just worried like what’s the next thing he’s gonna be recommended
Hope your friend is in a better headspace 😢
What radicalized me against capitalism was healthcare bad business practices and advertising company practices. All that shit needs hard response research then regulation.
No not all prisons have gangs my sister is in prison and ive asked her if theres any gangs where shes at. She laughed and said no.
It's because she's the lead
I hope your friend is doing better 🙏🏽 and had insurance
I ride with the Hasanabi Industrial complex. We then HICs
I grew up in NY (BK, Manhattan Queens, The Bronx, and Long Island), and I could never understand beefing and gang ish. I quickly realized it wasn't for me but saw most other folks getting into it, going to jail, or getting cut up. Some of them came from 2-parent homes and had money but wanted to gang bang. There's no point to it. It's just bravado and angst. I joined the military and asked some of them to come with me to Iraq. None of them wanted to do it. But they'd rather cut and shoot each other up for essentially minimum wage, lol.
he's focusing on the gangs and not the reason the "gangs" came about (and got worse than what they started as). the fact of the matter is the crips started out as a neighborhood watch that didn't have the luxury of calling the cops for aid(inspired by the black panthers). it spawned offshoots , one of which became the bloods, but most turned into other crip chapters. LAPD set other factions against the neighborhood watch rather than risk a direct fight (so the story goes). then Reagan came and because of his "influence" crack changed the rules of the hood. the money made from it and danger around it basically put the "gang" mentality on steroids. that's how we got the current crips and bloods, and the only difference between them and your local neighborhood watch is black folk can't call the police without risking someone in the neighborhood being randomly tortured/killed.
Unfortunately over the years, Bloods and crips have spread to a national level, even an international level at this point. They will never die out. It's too ingrained in the culture, especially black westcoast culture. Plus there has been too much blood shed that either side will never forgive. The bloods and crips are like democrats and republicans.The name will be around but it will mean different things at different times and for different people.
I was walking to a friends house mid day and someone hit me in a hit and run. Had major concussion and 20 hour memory loss. Broken several bones and F’ed my teeth.
Put me into 45K medical debt at no fault of my own
The ambulance itself cost 8K to drive me 3 miles
MERICA🦅🦅🦅
I wonder what the differing factor is that makes a human a socialist when seeing wealth disparity, or becoming a sociopath, hoarding wealth
I've been giving shit alllll my life for having the last name "Cripps" legit when I was in Army basic training if my drill Sgt called me by last name I had to go to the back yell " yaayaaeeee" and throw up gang signs.
I get we haven’t learned everything on the internet isn’t for real life , idc if u saw it in a video DNT THROW IT UP IF U AINT BANGING
ahhhhh, i see hasan did a video about gang culture and he did the WRONG gang faction that is going to piss off the majority of the gangs...the crips are actually the more honourable gang faction that i had the honor of meeting because they make alliances with the best motorcycle gang ever..the hells angels..and i met the most sweetest female hells angel ever...who happened to be dating one of the hoover crip leaders of the oklahoma branch...and i asked them nicely to find out who beat up my friend, because the bloods arent doing a good job atm -.-
CRAP = Community Resistance AND Progress
Hassan throwing up gang signs it's hilarious. America's brain right no matter who you are is extensive deep and deep rooting.
Fun fact. I take 2 pills a day. Both for epilepsy, both are the same prescription. A prescription that costs 1,736.09.
That’s more than my rent. Thankfully insurance covers it in full. If I lose insurance, I’m fucked.
Omaewa mu ANO-BAAAAAKA!!!! thats how you say it!, XD

On a recent video I definitely saw him briefly complain about his landscaper... it's the same thing as a gardener lol. This is why people think he's a hypocrite.
so if someone does a poor job you are not allowed to mention it?
Is this the first time you’ve seen hypocrisy? 🫢
Would you call your self an animal?

@@solala1312 I think the funniest part is someone trying to spin Hasan paying a laborer for the value of their labor as somehow not being Socialism
All these gangs could of started off with good intentions. Drugs changed that completely with the start of Heroine.
All unregulated Capitalism ends up in bad and worse land mate, legal or illegal. Nestle started off as a mom and pop chocolatier but they're still doing the old string impoverished mothers on their formula so they don't make proper milk no more, then suddenly start charging them for the formula, no budging on price. THEY'RE STILL DOING THIS. Do you understand how evil this move is? You're talking about Heroin, meanwhile Nestle forcing pregnant woman to make the most insane choices out of pure desperation, and they're entire C-Suite is still free individuals no jail. There needs to be a line where plausible deniability is not a mitigating circumstance, and this situation ongoing is well past it imo.

Hasan and his chat think Xing out a B is funny.
WRONNNNNNNNNNNNNG! i live here hasan.....not all oklahoma cops are racist!!!!!!! XD and if they were, i'd notice! >:)
Why is it okay that hasan can laugh at a west cost crip referring to Mexican gangs, as, well, Mexican gangs, but completely be sincere when he talks about Irish gangs? Scottish gangs?
Call them by their name if you want to make fun of their verbiage. At least, then, you won't look so insincere.
Thanks murderer for telling us how murder is immoral thank you, I bet you opened a lot of eyes.
What does selling weed in middle school have to do with poverty?
Some kids might sell weed in middle school because their families don't have much they'd rather buy food then smoke weed.
Not saying it's right, but you asked.
I do know kids who did this and their lives were not good, sure they smoked sometimes but they'd rather sell what they had for $20 and get some food instead of smoking it.
@@Rejoice.A small percentage of kids for a bag of chips? GTFOH
@@Rejoice.They say that, but there were plenty of people in south central LA who got by not selling drugs. There has always been so many food banks in the area and a lot of the neighbors trade with each other. It's like anything else, they wanted the easy route straight from poverty to rich when there's no such thing.
@@violett874real easy 🤨 did you grow up in south central in these situations?
@@violett874Your take seems to be "just work and/or constantly patronize charities as a child"
What if the parents don't allow their kid to work, if they're old enough to do so? What if the kid doesn't have a way to get around from food drive to food drive and home with cargo?
Compare all of those complications to the common situation where a kid from school says "hey carry this sack to here at this time and I'll pay you x" then escalating from there.
There's plenty of poor places that don't have community centers and they don't shoot each other or try to kill one another.
Plus this is bs. I'm from the area. They force kids into the gangs. There were so many community centers and activities in the area, I went to many of them for free to help with social anxiety. Plus they kill innocent people all the time.
I keep seeing this pop up in my recommended and read it as the "Crisps Gang" and think it's about some group of British potato chip hooligans.
You can tell how white Hasan’s community is by the chat

Nah the 80s crack epidemic started the violence thanks to the cia
I feel like it was more about the og leader dying and turning into a power struggle between different sects normally when that happens a lot of resentment is created and they all lose sight of the original reason they were made in the first place
