Thread: La Raza Gangs info

During the late 1990s, Mexican street gangs have found themselves at odds with many rival gangs of different ethnic backgrounds as well as Border Brothers gangs made up of Mexican nationals. As a result, an alliance similar to the People/Folk alliance in the Midwest was formed within the Hispanic street gang culture in the Northeast. Two umbrella nations were created: La Gran Raza (The Great Race or Nation) and La Gran Familia (The Great Family). In the following chart, this alliance is illustrated. Not all Hispanic street gangs are members of these two alliances, and these alliances may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

Now someone tell me why the pro-illegal groups would have an organization name that has and is affliated with violent street gangs? "La Gran Raza" and "La Raza" street gangs have been around since the 60's I believe. Why would you defend your race and political views with a violent street gang ?

Perhaps because La Raza Unida (formed in 1965) spewed violent rhetoric.

My cousin and I were discussing the different latino gangs including the oh so famous MS-13.....we ended our discussion on this note.

The fastests growing gang that is emerging out of suburbs, urban areas, metropolitans, and so forth....is

The Aryan Brotherhood.

Now i dont condone any gang violence, or gang related incidences. But one reason for my cousin and I's discussion on the aryan brotherhood is because these people are getting fed up also with their nation being invaded....also not to mention their rascist views.

Just some food for thought.
