Please help me to understand this. What is the significance of "Bloods" and their presence of them being a global phenomenon?

What is the UNITY that is there? As far as I know, "Bloods" are a loosly affiliated gang with no central organization. I doubt if most "Bloods" even know what it means to be a "BLOOD"? What does that stand for?

HOW can we change it around to reflect the 7 principles? Step by Step. I know that Jim Brown developed Amer-I-Can project and has been marginally successful in turning around former Blood leaders, particularly one of the BPS founders Darryl "Tee" Rogers. Same with a group in los angeles known as Unity One.

Again,coming from the City of Bloods & CRIPS I am asking for practical solutions and ideas so that I can pass them along.

I am also more concerned not with discussion of plans but programmatic implementation. And I speak from the perspective of a long-time community and student activist who created a community service program 27 years ago which is still operational and working in a housing project in Compton, in an area of high blood/crip gang infracticide.
