umm I'm sure there must have been more than one as it is so easy to pull off and it rakes in tria like no tomorrow.

Kinda hard to scam people with a massive "<The Outlaws>" tag floating above your head though, isn't it? :P

They don't want to toggle on the "secret" flag of "The Outlaws" for a weird reason ???
If was a gangsta  I wouldn't ID myself as one  or wear anything to denounce me...

Most gangs do use colours and patches to identify themselves, whether you're talking about a doo rag or a hell's angels jacket.

Yeah, haven't you ever heard of 'representin'? You get shot for not wearing gang threads...

Right, because all gangs are black.  Genius.

All gangs? Black? What're you talking about?

What makes you think the concept of 'representin' is exclusive to African-Irishmen?
And what makes you think I'm speaking for all gangs?

You were immitating ebonic slang.  There's no point in denying it.  The discussion was about all gangs and you did not qualify your statement to focus in on any particular group.

I say 'representin' and I'm white. Err... yellow. I also use the N-word quite indiscriminately. It's what makes me not a racist :P (Which, really, I could never be considered, but you know...)

(I never knew it was called 'ebonic' though... Isn't that a type of wood?)

Yeah, you're right.  I just come from a hell's angels town so I have a broad definition of what a gang is... and when Emerald wrote "representin", I couldn't help but feel that he was singling out black gangs because of the stereotype of what a gang member is.

Ebonic is what uptight white people call inner-city african-american accents when they want to feel like they're being politically correct.  I'd just call it street talk but that term isn't much better either.  It's just the way some people speak.

Ebonics are no longer just an 'inner city african-American' language, it has spread a lot. I think the Ebonics dictionary is in its ninth printing. The language is used by people in all walks of life, from the little white, blonde schoolgirl to executive meetings.

Try out the translator. :D
