Many of the large, urban-based African American gangs have received a lot of attention because they are major drug traffickers. The most well-known gangs are infamous rivals, the Bloods and the Crips, who are based in the Los Angeles area but are found all over the United States. People Nation and Folk Nation are rival alliances of gangs in the Chicago area. The Black Gangster Disciples (otherwise known as the Gangster Disciples) are also found in Chicago and are allied with the Folk Nation. These gangs identify themselves by the colors of their clothing or by hand signals.
