All gangs do that out of necessity on the inside until it becomes detrimental to the face of the gang as a whole. There are groups that will never work together. And working out drug, prostitution, or other activities is certainly not done out of any love or respect for another group. Hispanics gangs are much more militant and don't have pacts unless it is an extreme situation and I don't think I would trust them even then.

From what I’ve seen (anecdotal I know), on the inside, there’s only one color, green. You can play up EME or AB or whatever, they’ll deal, and even on the outside, people will still have to deal with those outside of their gang/color, especially when it comes to narcotics trafficking in the Southwest. The racial aspect is just a recruiting tool.

He didn't say that the guy in the swastika shirt (or anyone else) had to lead by example.

LOL. Trite silliness. How does fear enter into the equation at all?

Why are you guys so mad that this guy hugged the Nazi? Is it because it robs you of the narrative that you’d rather push if he’d only given you a chance by punching him instead?

Sure seems like it.
You guys? As in white guys? LOL haters make me laugh. Thank you for the laugh.

Who in the hell says I am mad? LOL. I replied to a poster who seemed very angry. I pointed out a fact.
Neo-Nazis like all haters have no sense of reason. BLM has haters. Hell you have white self haters that squawk the same none sense about themselves.
Personally I liked the guy that hugged the Nazi. He has courage and seems like a wonderful person. We need more reasonable people like him on all sides.
Heres a hug for you, why you hate me?

He very clearly implied that the hated has to lead by example, else they end up becoming just like the hater. I simply asked why is it always the hated that has to lead by example. Should women lead by example and start hugging rapists and asking "why do you rape me" to start a positive dialog? The rapist is simply troubled and all he needs is a little kindness right? If the answer is yes, then I'm ok with black people hugging nazis.

Not the best analogy. Rapists are sick people. Haters are just hate-filled people and are irrational in their thoughts and emotions around specific groups of people. That's why you cannot expect them to rise above and lead by example. They're irrational. Haters who commit crimes against others go beyond irrationality into the sick and twisted realm.

It would be nice if people could always take the high road and lead by example but it's easy to take the bait. Even people here (both white and black) who aren't racist can sound racist (myself included) in their response to specific people who exhibit racist notions.

Sometimes haters bring out the worst in you.

You're confused about who the hated are in this picture. It's white people.

Its a fine analogy. Both are sick and hate-filled. Both commit sick and hate-filled acts.
