Gang Background Story(200 Words):
I wrote this in memory of a particular experience I had in LA County Jail, not to glorify my actions or those I called my homeboys once, but rather I wrote it to show that the mechanism of the system creates a very hostile environment, where captive and captor are transformed into something that only respects the uncut rawness of violence. Without the threat of violence, there is no respect received or given within the confines of this system that thrives on our humanity, whatever left of it we have from the get-go as it is.
The story is only one among a myriad of ones. As a young man I was caged within a cage, into a bad situation. And though I’ve survived, there are parts of me I wish I didn’t surrender. It is not cowardly to seek help, to want to discover our true talents and our gift to life. To me it is more brave to want to help a fellow human being and be jailed for it than to be a fool gangbanger who thinks he knows all, but in reality doesn’t know the first thing about living a true path, someone who doesn’t see beyond his own selfish needs. I am awed when I read the words of people like Cesar Chavez, who fought against a very powerful force, or Nelson Mandela, whose very existence was a threat to the system that sought to destroy his people’s spirit and desire to fight for their dignity.
And what do we fight for- A reputation, bragging rights? It amuses me to see some dudes in here, with tattoos that say how proud they are to be “Mexican,” “Salvadoran,” “Brown and proud,” etc. But how proud are we if we place so little value on our own people’s lives? When we are ignorant of our own heritage and the struggles of our old ones? How proud are we when we take advantage of our own people, using the threat of violence against them, to rob them of their hard-earned money? How proud are we when we ask our mothers to stand in line to come in to see us wearing this uniform of shame? How proud are we when we call our wives or relatives to send money to this or that place to pay for our drug habit? How proud are we to have lost all ability to decide for our selves?
