This dude is the exact proof charleston is 100% right....you can tell from his conversation this 70 year old dude have went through it and is still proud of his past. This niggas don't get it
@@RSI24 This is how you know your an idiott. You focusing on the man instead of the message. FK CW! His message is truthful as fk! Gangs have destroyed generations of Black Boys and Girls! You weak as hell for ignoring the most important fact of the matter.
It’s not accomplishments it’s his proof of who he is vs this CW “Character” that lies about who he is and attacks dead people and claims to be the baddest mf out of Texas with no history to prove so It’s simple as that.
@@isaiahbattle547 he accidentally killed a white man lol And idc about what he did to white people when he disrespects and shows pure hate to people of his color he lost all respect when he dissed Nipsey Nip was pushing nun but positivity
@@drsupreme1971 what are you even talking about? I don’t care how he talks but it could be more graceful so that his point is taken the way it should instead of making people want conflict they’d have understanding. I didn’t say anything about words hurting fool
@@doutlaw1837 Only ppl hurt by CW's words are gangbangers and those sympathetic to gangsta lifestyles..So what if they cant handle his delivery??..Im sure the millions of Children,Women,Men,and Grandparents caught in crossfire of is faarr worse..Any black person supporting these OGs are the ultimate selfhater and Uncle Tom...Idc about feelings.
@Romeo Romeo that’s your interpretation.. you’d be very ignorant to say some of the things he speaks on like the destruction of the community & influences are inaccurate.
@@Jbcomedystl in lockup there's a much bigger difference between voluntary and involuntary. Why do you think he denounced gang life as soon as he got free.
He was in it though.... And was embraced by them dudes. Now he has just done a full 180 because be wants viral video income. Some stuff is not worth the money though. It's still people out there for real gang banging. It don't take all that much to get to somebody if the wrong person really wants to.
A lot of people don’t remember Charleston White very first video that made him go Viral!!!It was when he was talking about going to the Police 👮♀️ Precinct to go and tell on some Nayborhood Crips!!!He had Lil Twists or Plats back then..!
@@shannytowndb6536 I PERSONALLY THINK "JIMINY CRICKET LOOKING DUDE" IS AN APPROPRIATE DESCRIPTION FOR CW. AND FOR YOU TO SAY HE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING TO CW WHILE IN HIS PRESENCE, SHOWS YOU DON'T TRULY UNDERSTAND WHAT PEACE & UNITY IS. TOO MANY SQUARES ON THE INTERNET THINK WIFI IS FORTITUDE 🤣 YOU & CHARLESTON ARE LUCKY MARV AIN'T IN THE BANGIN MENTALITY PHASE BECAUSE THEN YOUD SEE JIMINEY CRICKET RUN OUTTA THERE LIKE CHARLESTON WHITE DID🤣😅🤣😅😆😆😁😄😃😀
@@Ogperspectives If someone is bout that life they gonna get their point across whether it's going across a MF head or speaking it , Charleston White ain't no gang member or claim to be a Gangster this man and the other one did and Charleston White didn't tell nobody what they can and can't say and I wouldn't call that running some time you walk away to prevent doing something you'll regret and I never understood what's gangsta about killing or beefing with your own kind over a color or a MF neighborhood you own nothing in
This old man talking about going from youth authority to prison. Like if he was proud of that. Why doesn’t he speak the truth and say gangs do ruin your community?
It ain't his job it's y'all momma and Daddy job he's his own life you should learn from seeing it for yourself which most of you will never see cause you don't live there, Therefore you have no right to judge if you can do better go and change the youth.
Listen from 2:00-5:30. I don’t think you understanding the logic he stating. Pretty much bro it’s the choices you make. He’s not glorifying that man lmao bro listen to the entire video again and not just this part the entire interview please he’s dropping gems bro. Appreciate old man while he’s still here u can learn a lot
You have to remember he came up through a different era where gangbanging had a different set of morals they stood on. He's not taking about the new gangbanging that started in 80s and 90s
yeah its true and almost every og admitted that but if you watch charleston white most interviews you will realise he doesnt give a single fuck about that he is just using that for clout . og skull farmer and og mob james have said more negative things about gang banging and they are trying to teach that to kids yet charleston started attacking them for no reason
CW is right about these former gangsters, all they do is glorify what they’ve done in the streets hurting other black people. If you pay attention to this guys conversation, he immediately goes into how he killed someone and then did some time. Honestly I’m over all this prison talk. We as black people need business and education, people like CW are telling you about these types of individuals who glorify the streets. Prison shouldn’t be a barometer on one’s hardness. We need to hear from black entrepreneurs and engineers on how to get ourselves out of this situation. Not 70 year old tired gangsters who have zero to offer to the black community
Bro bragging about going to prison 🤣😭🙄...will never get this mindset people have with being tough guys and bragging about getting locked up for robbing and killing their own people...🤷
This man just said "I've been relevant in the streets my whole life"...smh 🤦🏾♂️ What kind of shyt is that 2 even tell anyone especially when ur damn near 60? He said it like being relevant in the streets is something like 2 be proud of 🤦🏾♂️ Now I'm starting 2 understand what CW is talking about #TRAGIC
You gotta be relevant to make a impact, simpleton. Not w how you use that impact is on them. That's the reason CW will never make a impact on the community..
@@brandonburns5365 what impact did this nigga make when the only thing he did was time in jail?? Its niggas out here 20-25 wit more than this man and melvin combined. Tf would they want to listen to some old ass wannabe crips talk for that dont got shit
@@brandonburns5365 shid nigga he already has. Who uk out here getting laws passed to help our youth. All these old gang heads ain’t do nun but talk about they past n help destroy the blk community
@@nealangelethy1552 what laws have he got passed specifically? And slot of those old heads do actual work in the community now. What are you talking about
Imagine researching documents on someone and then doing an interview about your results or interpretation. Sounds like a journalist or investigator to me…OG Piru
Can anybody honestly say that Gangs have done more positive than negative? Too many innocent lives have been lost, those men deserve a second chance at life but so much destruction has come out of their creation. To their own communities the vast majority of the time. And they so stuck because of the respect and love they get for being a gang member that made it and didn’t tell etc that they overlook their negative impact and don’t even fully denounce the thing that broke the very community they are trying to fix now. And now it’s to a point where it’s going to be damn hard to return from. Like to the point non affiliates praise gang members. For killing and stealing and committing acts of evil. I need to read Sanyika Shakur’s book for myself because all i ever hear is about the killing he’s done. Nothing else and I’ve heard him speak so i know his book not just about killing. That’s to the point Charleston makes. He knows these people aren’t just all about gang shit. He wish they expressed their true selves over this character they had to create in order to survive the hood. Because at a certain point when you know better you gotta do better or only going to come is destruction
I completely agree gangs are a negative you have to do evil things to get respect and it doesn’t benefit the community. Every gang member says it not worth it but never fullys leaves or denounce they game. We always denounce the white man but not gang. Like you said dudes are so hung up on the respect for being one they don’t care about anything else that’s why the cycle continues. Kids keep joining because they see that respect and the og’s never disband these gangs they still praise em and a part of em. How can u expect something positive over a negative gangs need to be gone not just physically but also mentally from our community
JFC.... You needed CW to tell you that by trolling gang members? Who the hell don't know that gangs life is mostly a lot of negative sh*t? Who on the planet has said otherwise? Are you even watching the videos and listening to what these dudes are saying or do you just jump into the comments to suck off CW?
You can say the same about the military, the police and the government in general. All systems that were built to help or protect originally hurt and destroy too. Nothing is completely positive or negative. So in the words of Confucius you can’t have the Ying without the Yang.
You can say that about anything tho … police … court system ….politicians … have those people done more positive or negative things .. especially to people of color and people who live in poverty
@@pohunta Okay so a novel can be fictitious with some truth? If your all into schematics then...he read "books" from OG's from Southern Cal. No fiction fairytale fabricated fake BS.
He was never a victim of them fam not in jail or the streets he just used them to get by go watch his last video on charleston white page and he calls people that he was locked up with including some of the guards they all confirm he was not bullied by the crips fam but a damn fool u hear me!
@@VibeHigh214 not everybody join a gang for the same reasons and if you ever been around them you should already know that and ion mean no disrespect when I say dat
The fact there are people who co sign CW just because he talks against gangs is beyond me he's a coward snitch always running from confrontation but at the same time provoking someone to do something to him so he can call the Police this dude has a point though how CW be saying fuk a character while playing a character
@@nealangelethy1552 lol why are you making this about you weirdo this man said what he said. Why try to create chaos by saying we and twisting up what was said so you can change the narrative on what was originally said.
Dallas in the 80's? When it came to coke, the Jamaicans & other caribbeans was the major suppliers & flooded Black neighborhoods, as well as Blacks were big suppliers themselves.

These old gang OGs are so contradictory. They talk about being proud of being black and positively impacting their community , but they've destroyed the black community for generations and beyond the possibility of help
@@gregb1758 yea that's what I thought.. so Ayatollah Marv seem to forget that because I watch old news videos on RU-vid of the 80s they were allways on the news it seemed
ANYBODY from Dallas who was in the know KNOWS the BIGGEST war in Dallas wasn't the crips and bloods BUT the NATIVES vs the JAMAICANS.... Real d town shit
most of the first generation crips and bloods/piru in Compton and westside of south central LA grew up in a middle class neighborhood with both parents with good jobs...LA really squandered opportunities to be great and help their southern brothers and sisters
There are so many OGs out here tryna give the lil homies game, steer them towards something better, once you from the hood u from the hood, but life dont stop there. There are jobs to be worked, families to be made, u can run the streets, make it out and be more. That's the message these OGs preach on the daily. I'm from the city, I know. Yall think these dudes are 65 years old and still preaching violence??? Yall sound stupid. Stop speaking on what yall dont know.
You sound stupid. If these "ogs" cared so much they'd be trying to keep kids away from gangs and stop grown ass men from pressuring them into joining gangs. They preach that you can be a fuck up willingly and everything will be okay in the end. People who run the streets and become more than the streets are lucky.
@@chopshop523 You gonna get the prison stories before you get jumped in. They cant make you do thing bruh. Come on you suppose to be a grown ass man making grown ass decisions. Thats the point they typically make
I don't know about not recognizing blacks in Dallas before bloods or crips. Now if you said didn't recognize black gangs in Dallas until bloods and crips maybe, but there were Black gangs in Dallas prior to bloods and crips, just didn't receive the same notoriety.
False it's was clicks on some neighborhood shit.... Bloods and Crips didn't come to Dallas until 87- 88 and was full fledge by 1990 .. Dallas was a Crip city with a few bloods around that time.
Well he's not saying texas didn't have gangs before the crip/blood identity. He's saying nobody knew the gangs or names/noriety before (since the 70s). Just like LA had gangs before the crips and bloods but they weren't so publicly known
I thinks that it is pretty clear with the rest of his statement that he was referring to police, gangs and street life activity. He was saying the black street guys were not respected and Mexicans gangs had way more power. Of course black people are a huge part of Texas. That ain't what he was saying.
Ain’t no kids listening to Charleston white he preaches to the old heads who are like him the kids are listening to the guys he’s dissing like durk you boy and lil baby
@@MissRory662 how you even know what he got while you asking me,one thing he got is stripes in the culture he come from, RoRo!!!!do you even know what qualifies you as an o.g. since you taking a survey!!!!
It is very clear the difference in the mindsets, comprehension, wisdom, respect, and receiving knowledge… Smh.. The internet allows you to be whomever you want to be.. They’ll never understand OG!
Everything that he said about CW, CW said it himself during interviews. Except the fact that the crips in the delinquency jail pressured him. They embraced him and then he turned his life around after he got out at 21. This blood dude is a fool and really thought he was doing something by saying this stuff. It's really sad
People saying " you don't like the games cuz they tortured him beat him up" I think that further proves his point if thats the case for one the Crips was supposes to protect the neighborhoods and unite in. Jails and prisons against other gangs it was suppose to be tormentors but they end up torturing and pressuring to the point you either with them or against them when they should be protecting you because you just people you black people. I'm not going to act tired like I don't know what it really is cuz I really know what it really is but to make it to this age even lets me no more so and I'm just keeping it real. Trying to make jokes on the man when he really got a point and marv actually making cw's point to. talking about he ain't never shot nobody ain't never stab nobody and Marv old enough to be somebody Grandaddy still talking super gang. I respect his gangsta im just saying you can see what cw is saying. It just depends on what u want to look at
I agree with you in all you say. Only thing is when it comes to dude I have to disagree. I used to rock with his message early on. I personally know the guy he says put him on 60s and he was a real one despite his wrongdoing. As I started to really pay attention to what CW was saying on different platforms including his own, I started seeing the hypocrisy in his words. He constantly screaming his outright hate for gangs but is quick to run to gang hoods in his city to discuss a dude that stays on his head. He says he hates the characters represented by rappers and gang members i.e. monikers yet he builds his yt support based off a self proclaimed character. Imo he straddles the fence for views which is not cool at all, especially when you claim to have so much disdain for others that do the same thing. He did say he learned his entire gang knowledge from a book which also isn't true. The dude that put him on was put on my my big homie FACTS. I really feel he should have just stayed in the youth advocacy field because yt has turned him out and he don't even see it.
Unlike other cities, Piru is a street in Compton Ca. He grew up there and that’s what he knows so it’s not on him it’s in him. That’s what he is familiar with, these are not just gangs these are families that grow up with each other from the soil up, so when you see some one take your brother or your best friend’s life that you had a lot of memories, rapport, and familiarity with, your going to want some type of revenge or justice even if you have to take it in your own hand that’s part of war. You have to be from Compton or Los Angeles to understand these gangs. Mobs and Gangs will always be around. Since the dawn of mankind there men have always been Mobs for strength and protection. It did not suit a man to be in the wild alone because there were many bigger and ferocious predators that can easily overcome a man. Even in the ape, and wolf and other social species individuals form mobs to take over territories, gather resources, and mate. That is a hard fact of life.

Charleston signed on and joined on to a gang while being incarcerated, as a means of survival. He would not have survived the ordeal had he not joined up. He would have been used and abused just like Marv stated. At the age he is now, he's only 5'0" and 130lbs, soaking wet. Like Marv said, "imagine how small he was at 14. It's laughable.
First. Charleston is from FT. Worth. Not Dallas. The first crip set in Dallas was Dixon 357 in South Dallas in 1984-85. I have nothing against Charleston White or anybody but Dallas and Ft. Worth Dudes totally different. Blacks in Dallas in South Dallas had our own money and businesses. Nothing against anyone. Just keeping it 100. I grew up in the hood with these guys. I’m a lawyer in Texas despite these conditions. Also Dallas and Ft. Worth dudes don’t mix up a lot. Ft. Worth is its own different place. Where im from we don’t do all that extra talking. We old school. We tell you once and that’s it. After that we on go.
Houston had Crips and bloods come home just like all of Texas did. They came here to visit family, leave LA, etc. But people don't understand all Texas cities were similar with clicks. Drugs, fast money. Not a "gang". Gangs somewhat expanded all of that but didn't enhance it. Likewise Raymond Washington's family is from deep East Texas near the Sabine anyway. So yes you are correct. I'm a lawyer too. We all know real "lifers"...successful sociopaths don't talk much at all. And the Dallas culture was NEVER about yelling what you will do, etc. Houston...no talking. Dallas one time. All this other stuff is heated drama.
You promoting genocide on little Black boys and girls. You sir deserve every negative thing that happens to you. Karma is as real as mother nature. Your soul is foul and tainted. RIP to all the children destroyed by gangs. Now that's some real grown man sht!
I’m happy someone putting CW in his place he’s a clown he said at the job the first ppl he tell on is black ppl cus they not doing they job this is a guy that started wit mob James , mob went all the way out there then they start arguing n he said he got on the phone ASAP n tried too get mob James locked up for having a gun
This is exactly what Charlestown White isbatalkin about. Who gives a damn how long you've been a crip, blood whatever you claim. This is the ignorance that they glorify like goin to prison is better than laughin, having fun, being able to travel and make money, build some businesses and a family if you want to. But these guys are proven Charlestown White right. Furthermore it sounds ignorant saying CW had a gun but didn't pull the trigger so basically that the time a young man was trying to find his way had no direction but everyone he was around didn't help him go the right direction. So this man gets on this platform and downplays a person who was a young kid at the time trying to find his way. This is why our communities are where they are. Because it's guys like him and millions of others outside of politics who do more damage than those within politics most of the time. It's an absolute f*ckin shame. Everybody calls these fools bosses. But yet you don't question bosses of what? They are bosses though. Bosses of tearing down the communities that are tired of the shit because of the many people who think just like him.
So many people in the comments have comprehension problems. None of these OGs are saying that the gangs are the the best option for the youth. Just telling their story. They literally tell the kids to do the opposite of what they did. At the same time, they're choosing to respond to CW because he disrespects their DEAD affiliates, after trying to be apart of their lifestyle.
Dallas is one of the ONLY cities that ran off the JAMAICANS !!!! TRUE d town history. But all of Texas knows this shit. Marv was just misinformed. Mexicans, in the 80s ????!!!!
@@marcuscole1994 ok, I stand to be corrected then. Only to my knowledge brotha was I still seeing major cities in the late 90s and early 2000s where the JAMAICANS still had communities and a hand in the dope game, when they had been LONG GONE in the d, but I can't speak on every city history and politics just on the few from my experience
Its amazing how far us as black people go to tear each other down instead of build each other up. If we put that same energy in coming together you don't even know how strong we would become.
Why he ain't say all this to CW face when he was there? CW said he had a pistol on his hip. He got up and left cause Melvin said there will be no rebuttal, so CW said I can't rebuttal...then I don't need to be here. I felt that.
@@TheRaquan4 facts, cw knew he went too far disrespecting the deceased, it wasn't about wat was said about charector and person, it went left when cw said f them and saying names of crips only, never addressing other gangs or the og blood sitting right there, so Melvin knew just like everybody else knew inside there and outside on here knew👀🤔
And thats funny to you?? But this 70 year old’OG’ who spent most of his life in prison and dont have shit to show for his gangbanging not funny to you??
These are the ideas that we look up to. If one is paying attention, they'll see the connection with these ideas and our current state of Black people. We do it to ourselves.....BUT.....we can also UNDO it to ourselves.
