In a 2018 interview with HOT97 he said:

“As a gangbanger, when you go on a mission, when you’re looking for your so-called ‘enemy,’ you’re driving through a different hood down the street…and you’re hunting. And when you look you’re gonna pass up the dude that’s dressed ‘square,’ you’re gonna pass up a dude from a different race.

When you see someone that’s dressed how you’re dressed, and got the walk that you got, and got the body language like you, you’re gonna say ‘There he go: Get him!’ and that’s deep…when you unpack it…you’re looking for yourself just on the other side of town”

Organizations such as the Crips can be auto-genocidal and even anti-black. The behavior that Nipsey described in that quote is a prime example. These groups (allegedly) start out protecting their community (I think a lot of that BS too, but I won't belabor the point here).

Then they exploit & abuse their community’s distrust of authority to create a self-serving, self-destructive wall of silence. They frequently use their oppressors' tactics against their own people. And they actively want to kill people who are just like them. Kinda crazy & sad when you think about it.
