Which gang is the Folk Nation gang a subset of?

The Bloods
The Crips
The Latin Kings
The Aryan Brotherhood

The correct answer is: The Crips

The Folk Nation gang is a subset of the People Nation, not of the Crips, which is a rival gang. Folk Nation was formed in the late 1970s in Chicago and operates as an alliance of various gangs under a common ideology and structure. The organization fosters a hierarchical system and engages in activities such as drug trafficking and territorial disputes, primarily against rival groups, including the Crips. This affiliation emphasizes unity among those who fall under the Folk Nation's umbrella, establishing a collective identity among its various factions. In this context, it’s essential to recognize that the Bloods, Latin Kings, and Aryan Brotherhood each belong to separate gang affiliations and do not have a direct connection to the Folk Nation or its ideological framework. Understanding the intricate relationships and hierarchies of these gangs aids in grasping gang culture and the dynamics of gang-related conflict, particularly in the context of correctional environments where these affiliations can impact inmate behavior and safety.
