“No Snitching” Is a Code of Honor!

The streets have a code of ethics that if deviated from, debases the whole street movement that in part, was formed to combat the oppressive nature of white America. The pillar of “not snitching” serves as a part of the foundation of Black culture that was built in absence of Civil Rights fighters after our leaders were assassinated in the late 1960s.

Take this into consideration, Judas Iscariot snitched on Jesus Christ, and we all know that Jesus was Black…
