Wanting nothing but the best for the three of us, my parents both worked their butts off just grinding away night and day, overtime after overtime putting all that money away saving all until they had enough to leave everything behind and move to a better country a country where their kids would have better education, better future and better opportunities. As soon as they had enough and all the paper work was done, in 1988 our family packed our things and moved to Jane and Finch, it's been down hill ever since.
And of course you (being Black) blame others for your failure. I o. The other hand from the same place (but from Asian background), has 2 Masters degrees.
@@elizabethk3238 It was our family as whole who failed, failed to leave Jane and Finch from the start instead decided to reside there. It's social stigma has become a reality, I guess when your called something for so long you just start playing the part. Today Jane and Finch is nothing but an sad memory to me. By the way where in my story did I say that I blamed others, and who said that we were a bunch of failures? If you'd really like to know what happened to us, as of today we have left that place decades ago, but only three of us made it out. Me my mom and oldest sibling who is left. The The two didn't make it out, one from suicide due to depression the other homicide from gang violence. I barely barely get to see any of my family anymore until Christmas, though we talk on the phone. My mom currently lives in Barrie and is a certified registered nurse at RVR health care for over 30 years. My oldest sibling is a anesthesiologist at Sunny brook hospital and has a family they live close to Sherway gardens. I am a business owner I've owned four business in my lifetime and have sold all three since, today I operate a business in Maple/Vaughn has been open for over 10 years at the same location, it's where I'm actually writing this comment. I live in Richmond Hill together with my wife and one eight year old girl. I've wasted a good chunk of my time today just to reply back to your comment, that you stated we were just a bunch of failures who blame others. This is was your assumption from reading my first post. Don't be judging people when you don't know their full story, matter fact don't judge people at all, you'd think it be common sense to someone with two masters.
@@bobbydigital8243 I was about to offer you some help, but reading your second comment, you definitely got this! My story is a bit different; I lived in Port Elgin as a kid. Life was good until my Dad and Mom got in a scruff. My Dad went to jail and the government relocated us to a women's shelter in Scarborough. Lived there for 3 years until they found us an apartment in Birchmount and St. Clair. My Mom worked at Walmart for $7 an hour trying to make ends meet while my Dad was still looking for us. We couldn't afford food or furniture. The women's shelter gave us 1 garbage bag full of canned food and another garbage bag full of toys for my sister and I. We ate 1 can of Chef Boyardee every 2 days. I read a kids' book with Buggs Bunny eating a carrot and I remember completely salivating at the picture of the carrot. The starvation was painful. Because of this, my school life was hard. Didn't have anything for lunch. Only time we'd eat was dinner. Sister is mentally handicapped so I got in a LOT of fist fights trying to protect her from bullies. Because of this, I made many enemies. Some of these enemies had older brothers who were gang members. These kids came to school with police batons and chains so fighting them resulted in a lot of bruises on my body. I got suspended multiple times for fighting and eventually got to the point where they said my violent nature would give grounds to them for expulsion. Thing is, I love peace. I'm a peaceful guy by nature so hearing that kind of set something off inside me. I felt depressed; I was stuck being a person I didn't want to be. At 10 years old, the depression hit really fkin hard. I remembered my Dad's phone number when I was 6 so I thought I'd call the same number and see what happened. I really needed to talk to someone. He ended up picking up and I ended up giving our address. Took me and my sister out of that gang infested shit hole and moved us to Richmond Hill. I was 100% surprised at how friendly all the kids were. It was only then that I realized how bad my situation was in Scarborough. I always thought that's just how life normally was for everyone (most of my friends were also kinda poor but they could afford food at least). Hearing your story kinda brought all this out from me and I'm super happy you guys made it! I know you might still have depression from Jane n Finch but I'm happy to hear you're raising your kid in Richmond Hill. It's a really nice place. Nowadays, the people aren't as friendly as when I lived there (mid 2000's to late 2010's) but it's still not a bad place. Barely any crime other than organized crime.
@@ariadarabi I moved to Richmond Hill 12 years ago because of my business I have now, I'm not sure how safer it was back than but now compared to Jane and Finch it's like night and day. Your story growing up is exactly the same story as my middle sibling story, he was one of those people who looked older than his age since he was born, and like you he would always be the first one to be blamed whenever something bad happened in school or in our neighborhood. Even our cousins wasn't allowed to be talking to him because they thought he was bad influence. As soon he started going to high school that's when everything started getting worse for him. He became friends with all the other bad apples in his age. The older he got the more serious stuff he started getting himself into. I don't wanna go full details but he never made it to see 18 years old. I'm glad that the both of you got out of that place your living in as kids. The ghetto is such a toxic place to be raised in. It messes with your head and turns your priorities up side down and if you over stay your visit it ruins your ability to communicate with the real world. My brothers death is what made me wake up, I promised myself that his death will not come in vain.
Its funny people like you think holding down a turf is for the purpose of claiming its buildings.... every block has crackheads and customers. Every block has a business value.
Dont hate on the mans voice...Your doing a good job brother....I hope you take it as constructive criticism.I watch alot of your videos and notice that you are improving.👍👍👍
So because they were beefing with another place that was crips, they decided to change to bloods and ended up becoming enemies with people who they were cool with before?? Lmfao Wtf....
Thankyou for taking the time to put all of this together making videos. These are time consuming, with a lot of various sources and research involved. You want to make sure you have alll the details but can miss a couple because your trying to figure it out yourself. It's better if people in the comments if they see possible errors or things that could have been added to just say it politely in the comments. Respect goes a long way I actually love your voice its unique
All the driftwood beef changed now. Ardwick and Jungle are cliqued with them now and 5BG is cool wit them too. Now they beef dixon, Shots Up and regent and also Rex and DownBottom
Tommy Hiltriggga nah fam they're beefing ever since smokey was killed by 21 neat. Bare ppl from regent drop 3L and YH even dissed 3L. LG got packed by regent too
@Mali Pirate only smokey and pressa were cool. but everyone else from woodz is not cool with regent. Robin Banks was even clowning smokey on his story when he died
Mali Pirate your so dumb of you think that ya I’m sure Smokey loves the guy now that he’s dead cuz of pressa s boy your stupid Regent and Rex have been together for like a decade
Don’t get it twisted, gang activity is very very active in Toronto but the whole thing in the 90s where there are 100s of mandem posted up on the block is over. They just hop airbnbs now and get their shit done lowkey. If you a civilian tryna get groceries you good
The video messed by saying down bottom driftwood theres no such thing. Its actually UP TOP and Down Bottom Jane finch. Up Top are Crips and down bottom Jane finch are Bloods. Up Top Crip sets are the more popular music wise and the more dangerous of the two in terms of violence
Think it’s just a natural progression of gang communities. 100% an assumption on my part. But it seems that when drugs and money are involved, not to mention broken homes, it’s just natural that their inter gang relationships fall apart, much like their home lives.
Deaths everyday over decades old bullshit that gets lost in new generations. Kids killing kids. Family killing family in some case. These days it seems all the OGs move in the background and run shit while the yutes and rappers be reckless and take all the heat. There's so much shit happening in the city. Sad really. You should see the news around here. It's daily.
I say decriminalize all drugs. Take away the monies allocated to the war on drugs and focus on addiction and mental health treatment. The underground drug economy would collapse overnight, and shootings would drop significantly. I know this is a radical idea, but at this point police make arrest and shootings and killings don't seem to be decreasing in the city.
@@mnk_7907 all that money from the war on drugs should go to build addiction centers in every community. force addicts into treatment automatic 6 weeks in some kind of detox to help them get clean. Its not a perfect solution, but its something
Norm T therefore drugs wouldn’t be legal, since all addicts would have to go to rehab, meaning people will have to buy them illegally and use them in secret just as they do now, leaving us exactly where we started.
This just goes to show you that being "tough on crime" doesn't work. Their needs to be long term solutions to stop these gangs from forming in the first place.
@@dell1006 yeah the Vice Lords wear red a lot too. There's was Trife Kids too but I don't know what neighbourhoods they were from. Rex mans used to always check mans if they were Trife or not 😩.

The HA’s arent a fan of the wassi’s pushing fent and killing folks without paying the tax
Now im Curious lol any of u actually from Jane and Finch??
how did crip that originated in cali come to Canada
Pressa the rapper from toronto .his uncle jaimie started it .how u ask .pressa has fam .in l.a his uncle came back one summer and just like that in 1991 driftwood mans claimed crips .it was small becouse we come from canada and it looked at first like it looked fraudulent becouse it was an american thing .we over her just went by the hoods we lived in .jane and finch .chalkfarm falstaff spareways villa ways .welner malvern galway jungle .Jamestown etc etc .the bloods crip thing was like dumb .to us .my best friend polo started the bloods on our side .I never took part becouse I grew up old school saying g finch massive .so I can go on but that's just a bit to answer your question how crisp came north and to driftwood .bless
@@ultrastandphoenix1883 I thought Rexdale was the first to claim Crip in Toronto. I had heard something along of the lines of what you're saying, that someone with connections to LA brought it to Toronto, but I thought that it happened in Rexdale.
Bathurst and steels been on the map
Lmao what??
Wonderful video you shared 👍👍👍👍🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
There were no crips or bloods in Toronto in the 80s and 90s. Where you getting that info from? Gangs, sure but no crips and bloods.

I lived in the 2 building complex beside shore ham public school. The pic of DRIFTWOOD fish and chips s was my favourite place to eat From. I was around 7-8 in 2008 when I moved I remember all at school all about that kid getting shot. I remember my building going to lockdown and hearing gun shots outside shots crazy we moved summer of 08. I got into some stupid shi where I moved to but I’m been done that just imagine if I had stayed where I would’ve been shits crazy

In a gang, you gotta keep it real. And feed your family. Don’t steel, don’t snitch and don’t disrespect. You gotta know what’s good.
Woke up this morning forgot if I was a blood or a crip
