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.
