Why the middle finger?

Community Answer

Because without the middle finger, it would be, "bood."

Question

Will flashing the Blood sign to a Blood gang member make me one?

Community Answer

Never do this in front of a member unless you have gone through the process of joining the gang, as it is disrespectful to the gang member and could put you in jeopardy.

Do I have to learn how to fight to throw up this sign?

No, as long as you only flash this sign around friends and not in public where it might be misunderstood.

Question

I learned this trick when I was 5, and now I'm 10. Is it inappropriate for someone my age to do this?

Community Answer

It's not inappropriate, just don't use it anywhere it could be potentially unsafe to do so (i.e., anywhere there are possibly gang members nearby). Don't do it at school either, as many schools have zero tolerance policies when it comes to gang activity.

Question

Can I flash this sign and say I'm a blood?

Community Answer

You can, but it could be dangerous to do so. If you're in an area where you might run into members of other gangs, they might beat you up or worse. Only do it if you're among friends who know you're just playing around.

Question

What does "Crip" mean?

Community Answer

The Crips are a gang originating in South Central Los Angeles, and are the Bloods' fiercest rivalry. The origin of the name is disputed; some say it's an acronym for "Common Revolution in Process", while others say it's short for "Cripplers", the former gang of one of the Crips' original founders.

Question

What should I do if my fingers are hurting?

Community Answer

Stop doing it. You don't want to hurt yourself just to do something cool with your fingers.

Question

Does it hurt to do this?

Community Answer

It depends on the flexibility of your fingers. To test this, try crossing your fingers over each other to form a “rainbow.”

Question

How do I become a Blood or Crip member?

Community Answer

You would have to talk a member of one of these gangs and ask to be initiated. The initiation process usually involves the gang beating you up, or you having to beat someone else up. I strongly suggest you do not do this, as a life of crime is really dangerous, and you'll likely end up in jail or dead.

Question

Can I throw the Blood gang sign if I'm a Crip?

Community Answer

You can, but if your fellow gang members see you do it they might kill you. So I don't recommend it.

Question

How do I form the Crip sign with my fingers?

Community Answer

Just make a "C" with one hand. Your thumb is the bottom of the C and your fingers are the top.

Question

What happens if I throw the blood sign to a crip?

Community Answer

People are individuals and will react in different ways. You may be ignored, laughed at or confronted. Whatever the reaction, though, it probably won't be positive.
