Anyone heard of the 'golden guineas' from the Bronx NYC, they are name checked in a lot of hip-hop history books (ex. getting up). They were a white gang that fought against the black spades savage nomads back in the 70's. I wrote a paper about the US gang culture a while ago, and these white gangs got a mention but never got discussed. Also, for all that have never seen it. 80 blocks from tiffany's.

OK cool, well I guess my post was more about the whole white gang thing. They seem to have been around for an improbably long time. Past the doo-woop stage and into the outlaw 70's 80's era.

Yeah the cards are pretty crazy.

My friend showed me a link to a site a while ago showing the history of the "gaylords" gang. A white gang from Chicago that has been around since the 1950's. The name made me laugh initially, and I don't feel the white power slant they have. But I find them pretty interesting, do any Chi town people know about them? Are they still doing things e.t.c. Wiki The Chicago Gaylords, also known as the Almighty Gaylords, is one of the oldest Chicago street gangs. It originated in the neighborhood of Grand and Noble. The original president of the Gaylords selected the name after reading about the Gaylords of France in the public library. They are a part of the People Nation alliance. The Chicago Gaylords began as one of the clubs started by veterans post-World War II. The majority of the original members were Italian, Irish, Greek, and Mexican American which reflected the population at the time, as the Grand and Ogden area was known as one of Chicago's "Little Italys." There were many such clubs in Chicago during the post WWII era. Many of these social clubs had their own clubhouses and baseball teams. The Gaylord's clubhouse was on the corner of Ohio and Noble Street. At the height of the Gaylords reign,they had more than 6000 members, and was one of the most powerful gangs in Chicago, controlling large areas of the city. During their peak period in the 1970s, the Chicago Gaylords held sets (or sections) on the North Side, West side and the South Side of Chicago. The West side sections included Ohio and Noble, Ohio and Leclaire and Monticelllo and Augusta. Their South Side sections included Back of the Yards (around 55th & Ashland, Sherman Park), Marquette Park, Pilsen (18th & Western), and Bridgeport (Throop Street). Their North Side presence included Humboldt Park (Moffat & Campbell); Logan Square (Palmer & California, Lawndale & Altgeld); Irving Park (Albany & Byron); Kilbourn Park (Roscoe & Kilbourn); Kelvyn Park (Kilbourn & Wrightwood); Dunham Park (Montrose & Narragansett); Ravenswood (Seeley & Ainslie); and Uptown (Sunnyside & Magnolia, Lawrence & Broadway). During the 1960s through the early 1980s, the Chicago Gaylords experienced tremendous growth and expansion, with sections popping up all over Chicago. A Doc about the gang.

I have that backwards notion that my food never gets handled (as in hands of the chef). This guy is verrrry hands on, as I'm sure all good chefs are. But, I still prefer not to think about it.

Re: ANIMATED GIF HALL OF FAME SUPERTHREAD Well RTL is a German TV network, if that helps.

Yeah watched it again. Your right.

Wow that video is fucking nuts. Those women are fucking pathetic. seriously idiotic humans. Also is it just me or are they def older than 30. Allow giving them the slightest bit of respect by saying they are just "young stupid hoodrats", instead they are 35 year old childish cunts.

Re: Shit you Hate Appreciation thread.......................... FLASH MOBS! Wacky goofballs?....NO....Corny fucktards! Bunch of boring fucking idiots, with no imagination having to do some exhibitionist hipster shit, just so they feel they have done something with themselves.

If you enjoyed La Haine, you should see "A PROPHET". Saw it a week or so ago. Very good movie.

You have to fear somebody. Basically your father, uncle, auntie or moms. At least one of them should shut you up with the quickness when he/she gets involved. I always have had respect for my dad, but if he got angry (pretty rare) I would be shutting the fuck up and apologizing in an instant.
