>>13851763>assuming of course the other group they are adversarial towards is another race).To add little more to this, think of Maslow's hierarchy of needs but in a shared traits/interest pyramid instead. When people are forming up for militaristic purposes their most apparent differences will be considered first. What is the obvious difference to separate two groups? Their race of course, it is very easy to see who is a friend and who is a foe with this divider. Say the two warring groups are the same race how will they divide up next? Well it depends on the skirmish. Say it is pre-colombian North America. It would be tribal. It is easy to distinguish friend from foe by their style of dress, adornments, jewelry etc.
Let's say it is post Colombian north america. They would divided up by state/city/neighborhood on and on. With the crips vs bloods what exactly are they divided up on? Simply neighborhood which they display through the colors they wear. You are going to start with the most obvious differences first and continue to drill down to minutiae. End the end the goal of the "shot callers" is to convince their "soldiers" that "you are one of us, not one of them, and your fate is tied to our fate as a group." Most of the time they will be right and this is a very effective method to build your own private army
