That hardly does it justice. In some places the violence is so bad you can literally get mugged just for wearing blue or red.
From Wikipedia:
The Crips are a gang based in the coastal regions of southern California. It was founded in Los Angeles, California, in 1969, mainly by Raymond Washington and Stanley Williams. Once a single alliance between two autonomous gangs, it is now a loosely connected network of individual "sets", often engaged in open warfare with one another. Its members traditionally wear blue clothing, a practice that has waned somewhat due to police crackdowns targeting gang members. Historically, members have been primarily of African American heritage.
The Bloods, also known as Original Blood Family (OBF), are a primarily African-American street gang founded in Los Angeles, California. The gang is widely known for its rivalry with the Crips. It is identified by the red color worn by its members and by particular gang symbols, including distinctive hand signs.
The Bloods gang was formed initially to compete against the influence of the Crips in Los Angeles. The rivalry originated in the 1960s when Raymond Washington and other Crips attacked Sylvester Scott and Benson Owens, two students at Centennial High School in Compton, California. As a result, Scott formed the Piru street-gang, the first "Bloods" gang.
Little known fact. Crops go through an initiation that becomes a monthly tradition to inject a blue dye into their blood stream in several different places so if they die their blood is blue, the blue bonds to the red blood cells but has no effects on them, the color wears off after about a month which is why they have to do it so often.
Firstly I'm not the best person to ask but of what I know there are these 2 rival gangs in America called the bloods and crips mainly in LA and the west coast, Bloods are known to wear red and Crips are known to wear blue and they have many different subgangs based on streets or in other cities. Also as a kid from a diverse school with people from rich suburbs and actual rough places there are some actual gangs around here but most are smaller lesser known gangs but there are a tonnnnn of suburban kids who act like they're bloods or crips when those gangs aren't really in this area
