Crips

The Crips are a well-known street gang that originated in Los Angeles, California, in the late 1960s. Founded primarily by African American individuals, the group was initially established for protection and community empowerment. However, it has since become infamous for its involvement in criminal activities, including drug trafficking and violence. The gang is often identified by the color blue and has rivalries, particularly with the Bloods, another prominent gang. Over the years, the Crips have evolved, with various factions and a complex cultural identity that influences music, fashion, and community dynamics.
