Extended Information
Gang Story/Biography (Minimium 1,200 words) The Crips are a
primarily, but not exclusively, African-American gang. They were
founded in Los Angeles, California, in 1969 mainly by Raymond
Washington and Stanley Williams. What was once a single alliance
between two autonomous gangs is now a loosely connected network
of individual sets, often engaged in open warfare with one
another.
The Crips are one of the largest and most violent associations
of street gangs in the United States,[1] with an estimated
30,000 to 35,000 members. The gang is known to be involved in
murders, robberies, and drug dealing, among many other criminal
pursuits. The gang is known for its gang members' use of the
color blue in their clothing. However, this practice has waned
due to police crackdowns on gang members.
Crips are publicly known to have an intense and bitter rivalry
with the Bloods and lesser feuds with some Chicano gangs. Crips
have been documented in the U.S. military, found in bases in the
United States and abroad.[6]
Stanley Tookie Williams met Raymond Lee Washington in 1969, and
the two decided to unite their local gang members from the west
and east sides of South Central Los Angeles in order to battle
neighboring street gangs. Most of the members were 17 years
old.[7] Williams discounted the sometimes cited founding date of
1969 in his memoir, Blue Rage, Black Redemption.[7] Gang
activity in South Central Los Angeles has its roots in a variety
of factors dating back to the 1950s and '60s, including
post-World War II economic decline leading to joblessness and
poverty, racial segregation leading to the formation of black
"street clubs" by young African American men who were excluded
from organizations such as the Boy Scouts, and the waning of
black nationalist organizations such as the Black Panther Party
and the Black Power Movement.The original name for the alliance
was "Cribs," a name narrowed down from a list of many options,
and chosen unanimously from three final choices, which included
the Black Overlords, and the Assassins. Cribs was chosen to
reflect the young age of the majority of the gang members. The
name "Cribs" generated into the name "Crips" when gang members
began carrying around canes to display their "pimp" status.
People in the neighborhood then began calling them cripples, or
"Crips" for short.[12] A Los Angeles Sentinel article in
February 1972 referred to some members as "Crips" (for
cripples).[1] The name had no political, organizational,
cryptic, or acronymic meaning, though some have suggested it
stands for Common Revolution In Progress. Williams, in his
memoir, further refuted claims that the group was a spin-off of
the Black Panther Party or formed for a community agenda, the
name "depicted a fighting alliance against street gangs—nothing
more, nothing less."[7] Washington, who attended Fremont High
School, was the leader of the East Side Crips, and Williams, who
attended Washington High School, led the West Side Crips.

Williams recalled that a blue bandanna was first worn by Crips
founding member Buddha, as a part of his color-coordinated
clothing of blue Levi's, a blue shirt, and dark blue suspenders.
A blue bandanna was worn in tribute to Buddha after he was shot
and killed on February 23, 1973, which eventually became the
color of blue associated with Crips.[7]
The Crips became popular throughout southern Los Angeles as more
youth gangs joined; at one point they outnumbered non-Crip gangs
by 3 to 1, sparking disputes with non-Crip gangs, including the
L.A. Brims, Athens Park Boys, the Bishops, The Drill Company,
and the Denver Lanes. By 1971 the gang's notoriety had spread
across Los Angeles.
Initially Crips leaders did not occupy leadership positions, but
were recognized as leaders because of their personal charisma
and influence. These leaders gave priority to expanding the
gang's membership to increase its power. By 1978, there were 45
Crips gangs, called sets, operating in Los Angeles. The gang
became increasingly violent as they attempted to expand their
turf.
By the early 1980s the gang was heavily involved with drug
trade.[13] Some of these Crips sets began to produce and
distribute PCP (phencyclidine) within the city. They also began
to distribute marijuana and amphetamine in Los Angeles. In the
early 1980s Crips sets began distributing crack cocaine in Los
Angeles. The huge profits resulting from crack cocaine
distribution induced many Crips members to establish new markets
in other cities and states. In addition, many young men in other
states adopted the Crips name and lifestyle. As a result of
these two factors, Crips membership increased throughout the
1980s, making it one of the largest street gang associations in
the country.[1] In 1999, there were at least 600 Crips sets with
more than 30,000 members transporting drugs in the United
States.[1]
Crips has over 800 sets with 30,000 to 35,000 members and
associate members, including more than 13,000 members in Los
Angeles. The states with the highest estimated number of Crips
sets are California, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas. Members
typically consist of young African American men, with some
members being white, Hispanic and Asian.[1] Famous former gang
members or those suspected to associate with the Crips include
Snoop Dogg, Eazy-E and Ice-T.[14] Ice-T began his rapping career
for Crip audiences,[15] and is addressed by his Crip friends and
acquaintances as Tray or Tracy.[16]By 1971, a gang on Piru
Street in Compton, California, known as the Piru Street Boys was
formed and associated themselves with the Crips as a set. After
two years of peace, a feud began between the Piru Street Boys
and the other Crip sets. It would later turn violent as gang
warfare ensued between former allies. This battle continued and
by 1973, the Piru Street Boys wanted to end the violence and
called a meeting with other gangs that were targeted by the
Crips. After a long discussion, the Pirus broke all connections
to the Crips and started an organization that would later be
called the Bloods,[17] a street gang infamous for its rivalry
with the Crips.
Since then, other conflicts and feuds were started between many
of the remaining sets of the Crips gang. It is a popular
misconception that Crips sets feud only with Bloods. In reality,
they fight each other — for example, the Rollin' 60s and 83rd
Street Gangster Crips have been rivals since 1979. In Watts, Los
Angeles, the Grape Street Watts Crips and the P Jay Crips have
feuded so much that the P Jay Crips even teamed up with the
local Bloods set, the Bounty Hunter Bloods, to fight against the
Grape Street Crips.
The literacy practices of Crip's gang life generally include
rapping, graffiti and substitutions and deletions of particular
letters of the alphabet. The letter "b" in the word "blood" will
be "disrespected" among certain sets and written with a cross
inside it because of its association with the enemy. The letters
"CK", which stand for "Crip killer", will be avoided and
substituted with a double "cc", and the letter "b" will be
replaced. The words "kick back" will instead be written as "kicc
bkacc". Many other letters are also altered due to symbolic
associations.[19] Crips traditionally refer to each other as
"Cuzz", which itself is sometimes used as a moniker for Crip.
"Crab" is the most disrespectful epithet to call a Crip, and can
warrant fatal retaliation.[20] Crips in prison modules during
the 1970s and 80's would communicate verbally with Kiswahili to
maintain privacy among guards and rival gangs.
