Albanian Boys Incorporated (A.B.I.) are an ethnic
gang in the
Bronx,
New York. The gang is
composed of
Albanians from
Albania,
Serbia,
Macedonia,
Montenegro,
Greece, and other neighbouring countries. They are
known to have a fierce reputation and to stick together.
affiliated groups
other
"organizations""This group known to
Albanians as the ABI, also has ties in
Detroit,
Cleveland and
Chicago. Many
Albanian rappers consistently speak about this
street gang ABI, but that has changed. TBA attempts to assert
themselves as a new gang. Groups like BBA (
Big Ballin
Albanians), TBA, (Tha Bloody Alboz), and others apparently have
ties or are sub groups to the ABI."
As a response
No
self-respecting is a part of these organizations. Albanians are not
thugs, they are not criminals. They are self-respecting individuals
who are fiercly nationalistic and honorable, remnants of a bygone
age in a world that no longer understands what honor means. Groups
like TBA, which is really a rap group not a gang, will gradually
lose their popularity, and if they do not, then the people who
attempt to make TBA something that it is not will become social
outcasts and inprisoned for their gang affiliation as is customary
in the United States and other countries. Albanians are distressed
by these type of groups, and while their rap is appealing, their
proposed lifestyle certainly is not.
If serbs are so intent on
spreading propaganda, they should stick to the Serbian Wikipedia
and not pollute the English one with propaganda. The English
wikipedia should be neutral, impartial territory.
Albanians do
not have a mafia, but they have been involved in petty crime
syndicates. 99% of the time it is the close fraternity of the
Albanians that worries people. People fear things they don't
understand. Also, it is Serbian propaganda that tries to shed a
negative light on Albanians in general, specifically the Albanian
youth. The Serbs attempt to portray Albanians as nothing more than
criminals to further their own ends, and nowhere is that more
exemplified than the areas where the words "Albanian Mafia" are
seen, or the KLA followed immediately by the word "terrorists".
This sort of editing of Wikipedia is causing mass confusion among
those who are not Albanian or Serbian because people take Wikipedia
as a primary source of evidence. Furthermore, the policy of using
verifiable sources in Wikipedia documents is rather pointless, and
it also helps the spread of propaganda. Anything that follows with
a source entry is usually left as fact, and when there are no
sources it is immediately removed. Serbs use Njegos or
serbianna.com as references, when these websites are deliberately
placed on the internet to misinform the general public and
disseminate propaganda. Remember, propaganda can be cited too.
Wikipedia as a whole needs to seriously edit articles that
exhibit these trademarks, and revamp the methods in which people
can submit their data, Impartially
