I would be interested in hearing your perspective on why the gang lifestyle appears to be a growing phenomena nationally. Is it drug related, as I have suggested in another post, or is it more cultural and not related to drugs at all?

Thank you for your insight on this matter.
He must be familiar with the gang culture.... Talking in language like that otherwise would be something a "poser" might do.

define "clown".

Also, I find it funny that you assume you know the race of the people on this forum. Is that also because we reside in the South?

How do you know we are white?

But regardless . . . you said you were packing . . . we want to know - why are you packing? Some of us on this forum have concealed carry permits, so we also pack. We just wanna know why you pack.

haha I like how you are picking up the ebonics, Ani

Also, I think he clarified that he, himself, does not "pack" or "bang".

I am sorry if I don't know the exact "street" definition of ebonics; however, I would say most of us on here would consider it "ebonics" or some form of "street language" to use words like "clown" or "packing heat" or "banging". Perhaps this language does not fit the webster definition of "ebonics", so enlighten us if it does not.
