What about the Black Panthers throwing up the Black fist? The point is that handsigns/symbols can be found among all kinds of clubs and organizations. The gangs copied from others and so did we...doesn't matter who did so first. I just hate it when people try to act like it's gangs that invented them and we copied from them directly because I know that isn't true...gangs didn't invent them and we didn't copy from them.

Glad you have such first hand knowledge in this to be able to be so definitive in your statement.

And I don't get your analogies about the Black community and the peace sign and the Panthers and the fist

The point is that many groups have had handsigns/symbols in and outside of the U.S. Gangs don't own that expression. You are giving those thugs way too much credit. They learned how to be organized by watching others.

Whoa, I never said they did own those expressions. What I have ascertained is that they had them before BGLOs did. But if you are going to use the term gangs then you have to include those that preceded the ones that you know of now. My point is gangs have existed for a very long time, which is why I again refer you to the movie Gangs of New York and to the Mafia.

Yep and who had what first isn't the real point.
