Hi My name is Elenne Boothe and I just join your group, which I am glad to be apart of. I have a problem and it is gangs, I was born and raise in South central Los Angeles, back in about 1975 that’s when the gangs really started getting bad and now they are even worse. I don’t live in south central any more and driving through there I am so aftred. The white gand or the spanish gangs (f13) some say are out to get all blacks gang member or not. they have driven around and just shot at people some died, they siad the(are) toast, some even have moneys hanging on they pouch by a rob saying the monkey =blacks. so Keep south center L. A. in your prayers. I have an 12 yr old nece going to school in L. A. and the girl gangs are starting to out number the boy gangs and she is so afaird. I hate all this gang stuff. when I drive to L. A. to visit some family member I have to be careful of what color I wear because of the gangs. Red = Bloods, Blue + crips, I love both of this colors but can’t wear them because I could get shot/killed. Why is it now that the colors we so love have been taken over by so many groups that has made it look bad. I even bought some friend some rainbow colr luggage straps so when we get to a city we will know that is our luggage, they said no way, we’re not gay, I said what are you talking about, they said those colors mean you are gay, I was lost or not up to date on things. so any way, Let pray and keep on trying to bring love, peace and joy and pray for one another. Bless you aand thanks for your time. if you have a moment stop by my page and check out some of my work if you like. God Bless. Elenne Boothe
