    Please keep me honest, but didn’t the bloods and crips derived from the Black Panthers?

      In the sense that the white establishment bringing the Black Panther Party down allowed those gangs to be born, yes. When you work to get rid of the legal organization until there’s nothing left of it, you promote lawlessness from the people that organization helped out of poverty and crime who no longer get that help.
