If yall know anyone that been incarcerated in prison and willing to share their story, I'll be glad to give them an interview. It doesn't matter what race, what gang, or where they live. My email is in the description. Thank you for watching the video.
I did almost a dime like you too my brother was telling me to get on with you since i did time with your homie Ali, G, ranger , Ger , Lee and many more from the H 🤟 but I'm like I'm cool for now cause i don't want people to know me plus i growing right now so i rather get money stay low low
@@Caub-Fab-Phuv-Npiab if u know any one else who u did time with that may wanna be interview, let me know. I understand u wanna stay low but if u ever change your mind, just email me. I'm glad you're staying out of prison.
@@gery5289 I didnt see your reply till now. It does sounds like it was Asian against Mexcian southsiders but there's 2 folsom prisons so Im not sure if it's old folsom or new folsom. I wanna say it's new folsom but I'm not sure.
Amazing interview. Thank you DiverZity. It's always nice to see the face of the people you talk about in your stories. Much love and respect to both of you.
This guy right here man. Respect! Thanks for sharing brother. Definitely a huge influence on younger generations and very wise. You will be a very good spokes person.
Thank you brother Tamada. Bring him in for more videos. It took me 16 years to understand everything he was saying. Stay safe everyone. Stay humble. Keep grinding.
Bro, you guys have similar history with us Viets growing up in Houston. It started out with punk rockers/metal style then went into new wave 80's Z Cavarici tight pants with Flock of Seagulls hair style. In the early 90's we transitioned over to baggy Girbaud jeans and Starter jackets. It got more hip hop and American style gang banging. The Asian community was crazy wild in the 80's until around 2010. We're now living in Long Beach near Cambodia town and it's super chill here. I hear it's still active in places like Minnesota, Merced, Stockton and Sacramento. We sure paved the way for this generation. I hope they don't have to deal with the struggles like the first wave of refugees. I wish all my fellow Asians peace and prosperity
Not sure how I ended up on your channel and this chat but thank you so much for bringing this to the limelight. I think what you both mentioned is needed to be heard at the tables. We all grew up during some challenging times and no one really knew how to guide one another. I’m happy to hear that y’all pulled yourselves out and trying to do better. That’s definitely the way to think. Mad respect to you both and keep grinding! I’d love to see a second interview 5-10 years later and see how y’all progress. ❤️
Much love to this OG! And props to diverzity for this. Hope you can get more Hmong brothers that you was locked up with to do these interviews. Would be nice to see what they learned from their experience and bless us with some of their knowledge like this OG did.
Wow! This is by far the best interview...I hope this video will reach to all the young ignorant boy that are trying to become a gangster. Tamada is definitely a smart men and has change. I hope for the best for him. Keep striving!
Stumble upon this video. I really enjoyed it. Tamada you are a very intelligent person. I'm happy to hear that you don't have the gangster lango lol don't be to hard on yourself. Life goes on and you now have a bright new beginning. Time to write a new chapter in your life. Stay positive and do great things in life.
The Man being interviewed is the Realist Changed-Hmong Man. I love hearing his story, and you can tell he really values life after serving his time or deciding to change his life in prison. These are the kind of stories that I love to hear. His point on HNY and embracing being Hmong and having love for each other is incredibly powerful. God has great plan for this Man and I pray that God continues to use him in his will. Much Love brother 🙏
I think alot of people who were incarcerated follow these footsteps. Alot of props to them for getting this far.. in this way. Sometimes this is the only way.
Tamada is a very intelligent individual. There were many times that I've almost fell into the street life but I am thankful that I didn't choose those paths. This interview was eye opening and I enjoyed it. Thank you both.
Tamada, enjoy the freedom!! Enjoy life, God luck to you. Seeing you out brings hope to my cuz that's still locked up. It's sad to see youth locked for decades.
I’m originally from Fresno! I have Hmong friends since childhood. Grew up with lots of Lao, Cambodia and Hmong. But Hmong have always been good people!
I grew up during that 90s phased. I remember being bullied in school by other races. Mainly white meekas. We were smaller and often shy,not wanting to fight back. After a while of that stuff, my friends who were older grouped up and took respect. From those bullies at first. After a while, their egos got in the way and things went down hill. We did it to protect ourselves but lost that agenda.
I grew up with friends from different sect but we all came today as Hmong to fight Latin kings and vato locos and blacks during my my middle school days. I never got into gangs outside of school but we formed a little school gang just because we feel the need to protect and represent Hmong people.
I grew up with his younger brothers. I have always thought and wondered about where he was and how he was doing. I watched this whole interview. I was 14 years old living in Fresno during this incident. I’m still communicate with his younger bros here and there, but good interview.
We need more Hmong brothers like this speaking truth and love. Killed me when he cried after tasting a milk shake 😂. Wishing all my Hmong ppl love, peace and success.
bro i have never been into prison, but i wish i can shake your hands at least once. im happy that you change and became one of our hmong bother again. we hmong people shouldn't kill each anymore
Yo DiverZity, the 2nd guy he was talking about is my older brother. He just finally got out 3 weeks ago too. But anyway, u doing a very good job brother, thank for shearing ur life story bro.
Damn. Real OG. Respect ✊🏻 I wished he would’ve spoke in Hmong when he said he missed speaking in his language, but I understand that this is reaching out to audiences above Hmongs.
I'm glad you totally understand the direction I'm taking. In prison, it's not just Hmong gangs coming together but all Asian and Islander gangs coming together.
He’s true about meeting Hmong people. I work and live where there is no Hmong. But when I finally have a Hmong coworker it’s on. Lol Hooked up and go fishing
Real talk from the Big Hmoob Brother there. Glad you out and doing well. Speak to the youngins bout the real world. Stay safe and fresh to death my Hmoob brothers. We all Fam, cause we all know someone, who knows someone, thats married to someone, who is related to us. 18 clan 💯 May god bless you bro bro!
Thank you both for sharing these stories and life lessons. You both are great people remain positive and life will be great. Time for the next chapter of peace and enjoyment
"A gang lifestyle only last a season." He is spitting knowledge there only a few will truly understand. Not too many brothers get a second chance in life after prison. But be glad you are alive cause the sun will shine after the rain. Stay blessed and take care my friend 🙏
It’s nice to see some real love and getting along. I’d say being in a gang is more like finding yourself and get back to life the other gangs are there for a reason to help take out each other’s trash. Reminds me of regular life and no one like raffle tickets
I was in the joint at one time..we can smoke order real coffee..it was in 92..now..can't smoke shit nomore. Never want go back again..staying cool over 20 plus yrs now..
It was a beautiful thing to witness all these different Hmong gangs celebrating Hmong new year and eating together but sadly it will only happened in prison.
I don't think surenos and nortenos are really at peace with each other but more like temporary truce. I do believe peace is good for Hmong gangs especially for the children.
He delivers at 1:04:00 on. What's your 10 year goal? Growth will happen either way..in or out of prison. Your "friends" should recognize when you are trying to better yourself. Great story bro. Welcome back to the world. Make up for the time lost.
This is a great interview! I would love to learn if the Hmong gang changed over the years. I wonder if today’s Hmong gang members still have the same ideology to join a gang group. What factor influences the current Hmong youth to join gang in today’s society? And do we have more or less Hmong gangs today? I’m naive when it comes to gang and would love to learn more about it, especially in today’s Hmong world.
Hmong gangs is pretty much still the same but not as active as the 80s, 90s, and even the early 2000s. The youth joined gangs for many different reasons but a lot of times it's due to their bad environment. There's just less members in Hmong gangs now these days. I'm not sure what u wanna learn about Hmong gangs but the saddest thing about Hmong gangs or any gangs in general is that we killed our own kind. It's tragic when I think about it now.
@@DiverZityVang thank you for responding. I’m glad less Hmong youths join gang groups nowadays. It’s disheartening to hear that Hmong gangs are more likely to target their own kind. I hope sharing your past experienced with encouraging Hmong youths to take a good pathway for themselves.
This is very informational. It’s not to glorify the gang life but this right here goes back to our history and heritage. Young ones should listen to this and understand where hmong gangs came from and how it evolved over the years. Keep it coming bro these stuff are interesting.
Hey Diverzity, can you do a live interview with Brother Tamada and o'Ray Ray Vang so Tamada can teach him some wisdom and how to act. Because that boy Ray Ray is out of control lol.
This is a good reason why Hmong folk should learn to let go hate amongst individual these two guy two different set had to go inside the the wall to realizes who they are and now they sit here and say good thing about each other ...
Uso thao, I called him bruce lee, played alot of basketball with him. quick and good at basketball. And i was there when it happened in 2000. Uso jerry is what i was known for.. And what he said is truth!! Crazy what youtube and life speaks. Uce alofas.
Any family who came here really early/ so call the first Hmong wave landed in Chicago. It was bad and they faought for thier life. It’s either be bully or beat the bully.
Damn, so this is Hmong Fresno gang history right here So you have Peace MOD and FTK (Fight to Kill, Fang Boyz) from Fresno I thought MBS started up around that time too?
