    Yes, but they are each multiple different things. It’s complicated.

    Michael Hobbs does a breakdown of the modern myth of the American gang in a pod episode of You’re Wrong About… on Buzzsprout, dated 2019-08-22, if you want a deep dive of what Crips and Bloods really are about.

    It goes well with the recent LWT main story on police gang lists, which are secret like the DHS no fly lists, and like NF and the even more obtuse terrorism watch lists and like the gang database, can be used to justify denying civil rights or liberty to travel to private persons.
