Are there any white gangs in America that aren't explicitly white supremacist?

Yes.

Also, there are white people in Black and Mexican gangs all over L.A., even if that trend peaked a little while ago. Remember also, the first L.A. gangs were northern Mexican gangs, who looked "white," more or less ("pachucos"). :p

I haven't heard of any, and I know that gangs tend to focus upon a specific race/nationality, so it might make sense if there weren't any major gangs that weren't directly related to white supremacy.

Well if it's an explicitly white gang then they are probably a group of rich kids just being dumb and bored and probably not a real gang or yes a racist gang.

There are plenty of white kids in non-racist gangs or even anti-racist gangs like two tones.

Most poor whites live out in the mountains or in trailor parks in the south. You won't find them in inner cities, so no, you won't find many whites in gangs, and very few exclusively non-racist white gangs.

Gangs don't keep to the inner cities. (The term 'inner city' is useless on the West Coast anyway) If you mean dirt-poor, never-owned-a-pair-of-shoes types, maybe they're in the South or the hills, but most poor white people live about three blocks away from poor minorities, in my experience.

Edit: I think this thread suffers from the misconception that prison gangs = gangs. Not the case. :p

In prison, the whites hang out together, the Hispanics hang out together, and the blacks hang out together. And the Asians I guess, but you don't usually think of Asians being in prisons.

If you consider mafia groups gangs, there are a lot of white gangs. The Italian mafia, the Russian mafia, the Irish mafia, ect. I'm not sure why Sicilian is considered white and Hispanic isn't though. Sicilians are pretty dark.

Really? I usually don't see a lot of white urban poor, at least in the city where I live. Could be different in other cities I guess...

What city are you from? It's hard for me to imagine an American city where all poor people are a certain race.

Depends where you live. L.A. is the polar opposite of, say, Chicago. L.A.'s population went from 50,000 to something like 3,000,000 in a ten-year period at one point - the point is, people came in in a disorganized mass, all at once, making the neighborhoods fully integrated from the beginning. In Chicago, you had the German ghettos and the Irish ghettos and the Polish ghettos, etc. from 1872 onward until today. New York is a bit more of the segregated, Chicago-style deal than the more intergrated variety. But even there you get odd white gangs, and of course "mafias," be they Russian, Armenian, Italian, Jewish, etc. which are white, and not explicitly racist beyond disallowing other-ethnic members from joining the higher ranks sometimes.

Oh they are, it's universally poor and black. There are no other races, not in significant numbers anyway. The latinos live far in the suburbs. Though, unfortunately, I can't say which city, I usually don't give out my location...

I was in the chess club in high school. When we went to tournaments we all wore the same clothes and walked around together. One time, we all walked into a room singing "he was a skater boy" by avira lavigne. Nobody fucked with us after that.

My dad was in a white gang in Chicago, and it wasn't any of that supremecist crap... though, that was about 30-40 years ago.

Now that I think about it most motorcycle gangs are white.

I have never seen a single black skier or snowboarder in my life.

Yeah, that too - even if they're a bit on the geriatric side. :p

Not a bad policy, though you've got a typo in your 'location:' line. One 'n.' I think.

IIRC the CIA doesn't recognize Hispanics as a race, Hispanics are people of Spanish (and I guess Portuguese) descent so they are considered to be white...Black Hispanic people would be considered black...

You sure they didn't advocate the genocide of Wisconsinites/Milwaukeeans? I might have been tempted to join up. :p

It depends what you call a gang, there's these twats who live down my street who think there a gang but all they do is walk around in mass's emo bashing one or two emo's at a time or starting with old people. But in england there are white gangs/gangmembers who do some right awful shit as well. Was watching this doc about this east-london EX-gangster who forced fed LSD to this guy, cut his fingers off and put ice-picks in his eyes.

Well, like all real citizens of Illinois (Illinoisians?), they continued the grand tradition of skull-fucking Wisconsin with tourism every summer, if that counts.

And yes, I did just put heavy emphasis on "skull-fucking".

Depends on the Sicilian, and on the Hispanic. Being half of Sicilian descent and half of Hispanic descent, I can tell you some of us are pretty damned lily-white.

The Aryan brotherhood was founded on racism but now It is more of a criminal organization and racism takes a back seat to selling drugs and making money. They are allied with the Mexican Mafia and their are Jewish members in the highest levels of the Aryan Brotherhood and according to the National Geographic documentary video done on them. The Aryan brotherhood will now accept non whites as long as they are at least half white. I am sure their are racist people in the Aryan brotherhood but the organization is more about money and drugs than White Supremacy.

The funniest thing about the Aryan Brotherhood is that real Aryans aren't European.

No, they're potato farmers in Idaho who think that they can link their lack in melanin to a mystical race that was actually a horde of barbarians rampaging through India.

Yep, southwest Asia, around the Indus River Valley and adjacent areas.

The best part is, real Aryans aren't even all that "white".

God, Hitler and the Nazis were so full of shit...
