text: what street gang organization came first: the crips,the bloods,thesurenos(southerners),the nortenos(northeners it is believed that these 4 notorious gang organizations began in the city of los angeles california (they are now widespread accross the u.s. and the world). the bloods and the crips originated in the streets of l.a., while the hispanic gangs, the surenos and the nortenos, originated in southern california  prisons, by l.a. hispanics. nortenos no longer exist in l.a. they are now mostly located in the nortern cities of california. but what i still cant figure out is which one began first or was there another gang organization before these? crip... was first formed in 1969, and was an acronym for community resource for independent people... and community police force to fight police injustice in black community... but it strayed from it's original course because of police brutality and arrest for bogus charges which led many innocent blacks to jail and prison.  bloods broke off from crips.  believe it or not, a white prison gang (not supremecist group) were the first one formed... it was called blue bird... because of the threat from the blue bird, the latinos formed the eme, the mexican mafia, to control the drug activities in prison... they were unmolested until the nuestra familia was formed because of conflict within the eme... after these conflicts, the aryan brotherhood and black guerilla family was formed.  so... the whites - mid 1960's surenos - 1968 nortenos - early 1970's white supremecist - early 1970's the blacks.  (now i'm talking about prison gangs, i'm not talking about black panthers and what not, they weren't considering themself a gang)
