    I really feel what the Uso said. 80% of every bone in his body was telling him it was wrong. I felt the same thing whenever I made stupid decisions. And it sure didn't help when the hood praised you for the crime. The devil is a liar and praise God for your transformation .

    What the OG uso is saying is real. I was timing at Susanville on the 3 yard when my big USO from the PAKA came thru from pelican bay. I'm not gonna drop any names out of respect for my USO. When he was putting me up on game he told me he'd been riding with the Compton Kavale this whole time until they had an incident on the yard with the crip car and it had turned racial. He said it wasn't the Compton kavale that had the problem it was the other crips not from Compton that made it racial. He said the Compton car was gonna ride with him but out of love for Compton and his homies he didn't want that. So instead of causing alot of drama he burned his flag and that was it. He said no matter how much he represented the car, no matter how much work he had put in they they didn't accept him as one of them. I can tell that shit hurt the uso. And after all that the Compton car still had his back but it wasn't the same because it had turned racial. Sorry I wrote a long one UCE. I'm not good with using these phones. I just wanted to speak on it for a minute because I know alot of my young usos are on here and I just wanted them to know whats going on so they can make better decisions. Love what you doing USO. Keep lacing up our young polynesian homies Hamos, Tokos, Hawaiians, Fijians

    I feel at home listening to true stories of our Samoan communities from Cali, the struggles we bared, and the outcome of the unknown. His story is no different from my uncles back in Cali as Samoans. Me being born in Santa Ana and bread in Compton, proud Samoan, I’m hoping we can have more of these stories told to pass down to the next generation so the young ones can see they don’t need to be in that kind of lifestyle.

    Wow wise words from cobra, that part where he spoke on young homies having kids and loving them but the "actions not matching the emotion" I went through that and made some tough decisions lost alot of "friends" but I'm much happier because being a father gave me that motivation to be something better for them double salute both you uso's malo a le faamalosi west Sydney tappin in 🦾💯
