Gang Leader For A Day

This fellow spent six years visiting within a community of thousands of poor blacks. What is amazing is that the culture, while destitute, mirrors normal society.

The sub culture created their own form of currency, handle their own transportation, protection and policing. It’s rudimentary, but seems fair and equitable – the strong take advantage of the weak – up to a point, sometimes the strong protect the weak when it is most beneficial to the strong. It’s so basic that the constant is that everyone takes care of themselves, because they can hardly afford anything else.
