Tim and Bobby Watch a Documentary: The Story of Tim and Bobby's Experience Watching a Documentary During Dr. Price's Class

Tim and I watched a portion of the documentary "Bastards of the Party" during class on 7/13/2011. After watching the beginning of the documentary, Tim and I were struck by the documentary's overview of the genesis of black gang violence.

Here is a brief summary of the documentary, courtesy of Wikipedia:

"Bastards of the Party is a 2006 documentary film produced by Antoine Fuqua and directed by former Bloods gang-member Cle Sloan. The film explores the creation of two of Los Angeles’s most notorious gangs, the Crips and the Bloods, from the perspective of the Los Angeles community. The film also denounces gang violence and presents meaningful solutions from former gang-members to stop this problem."
