To all my G.D.s in the Diaspora

Oh, and speaking of gang signs…

When I was in High School in Minnesota, there were a bunch of rival gangs. My favorite was by far the Gangster Disciples (G.D.s for short) because this was their gang sign:

GD Star of David

Seriously. A Star of David…with pitchforks coming out of it.

Every bathroom stall at my school looked like this:

Bathroom Art

It was literally the only place in the world where you’d catch yourself wondering, “Hmmm…I wonder who did that graffiti? A real-life gang member or an artistic Jew?”

The best part about it was that all the G.D. gang members wore big Jewish Stars around their necks. Proudly. It was amazing. Baggy clothes, neck tattoos, and a Star of David swinging from their chains. I don’t know how many Judaica stores those dudes robbed, but they were decked out in some of the finest temple gift shop items money could buy. (Or not buy, obvz.)

Wait, no. I take that back. The best part was definitely the behavior of rival gangs. Because the rival gangs only knew Stars of David in the context of gang warfare. So, for a while, little Jewish kids all over the Twin Cities kept getting beaten up because retarded gang members were mistaking them for G.D.’s.

Believe me, that was a scary time in my life. Most the kids I knew traded in their stars for chais. Nothing was more frightening to me than the thought of being mistaken for a G.D.

“Hey! You a G.D., nigga? I’mma fuck you up!”

“Someone cap dat G.D. before he gets into orbit!”

“Yo! Fuck that cat up! He a G.D.!”

“Why the G.D.’s always gotta have the best Air Force in the world, son?”

    the funny part is that you think jewish people made this symbol up. they stole from somewhere too. in fact i’m sure this symbol has stood for hundreds of different thing over the course of time. when these gang members used the symbol it was just history taking its course. good or bad it is what it is.

    The 6 point star, star of david. Was chosen for the gangster disciples, because of one of our kings. David Barksdale. Don’t mistake us for a bunch of stupid niggers running around with guns. We are for growth and development, and of course money. You get in the way of either, niggers grab thier guns.

    Hey, This is seriously the funniest blog I’ve stumbled along in some time. I found this by gooling “Star of David gang significance.” And thanks for answering a burning question… for years I’ve been puzzling over the star of David tagging all over my town. I’d like to say that I never once suspected all of the disgruntled old people at my temple, but I actually kind of secretly did suspect them. I thought ah, well, they’re old, they’ve been through alot, if they want to go out at night and spraypaint stars all over, who am I to judge? It made me feel good like hey, maybe I’m NOT the most delinquent one at temple. But now the mystery has been solved, in my mind I know I’m still the resident badass , and I can once again look Mrs. Mandlebaum in the eye without wondering if she has some kind of secret nightlife that includes vandalising some of the seedier parts of town with our holiest symbol. Thanks Joe! You’re seriously freaking funny. I’ll be back here again to read some more of your stuff.
