Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


"Gangs give you a sense of belonging, and usually, an income. But mostly, they give you a sense of dignity. Men are men, and men'll seek pride. Everybody here's got a badge to wear. 'I'm the Deputy Communications Director.' 'I made Presidential Classroom.' 'I know the answer. I'm going to Cornell.' You think bangers are walking around with their heads down, saying, 'Oh man, I didn't make anything out of my life. I'm in a gang.' No, man! They're walking around saying, 'Man, I'm in a gang. I'm with them.'" - Charlie Young, The West Wing, "Isaac and Ishmael"
