When asked about gangs Tupac once said, “What I want to know, though, is why all of a sudden is everybody acting like gangs are some new phenomenon in this country? Almost everyone in America is affiliated with some kind of gang. We got the FBI, the ATF, the police departments, the religious groups, the Democrats and the Republicans. Everybody’s got their own little clique and they’re all out there gangbanging in their own little way.”
He didn’t deny that any black person was in a violent gang, he said that they were no more likely to be in gangs than anyone else was. Likewise Marx wasn’t going to try to tell an antisemite like Bauer that no Jew anywhere was greedy. He was saying that if they are its because we all live in a system that allows for and encourages people to be like that.
