In my first response I already said whether they're active or not isn't my point. My point is that Gangs are everywhere, Crips & Bloods, the Bay area included. Who you are, Where you live is totally irrelevant. As far as being active, its not going to be as active as an LA, Sac, and the Valley, simply because of the number of sets. Just because they're not as active as other places don't mean shit, as you said "they might as well not even be here", but the truth of the matter is they are there.
I'm talking about Blacks too, although I don't see what race has to do with it, Gang Banging is Gang Banging, it seems like you Bay niggas be reaching for any and everything to support your argument, whether its relevant or not.
