Hi! I am The Black Historian and I plan to make battles involving Africans, African-Americans and other historical warriors of color. This will be my first battle and I hope I do well.
For my first battle I plan to pit two awful organizations that caused horrible stereotypes for black people around the world. These two warriors killed, raped and stole from other people. They use violence and intimidation tactics to get either their produce or philosophy across. And they inspire and use young ones to commit horrible atrocities.
Lord's Resistance Army : African warlords who commit horrible human rights abuse for the sake of religion.
vs
The Crips : African-American gangstas who sold drugs and committed crime for fun.
Who is deadliest?!
Lord's Resistance Army[]
The Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), also known as the Lord's Resistance Movement, is a rebel group and cult which has operated in northern Uganda, South Sudan, the Central African Republic and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Originally known as the United Holy Salvation Army and Uganda Christian Army/Movement, its stated goals include establishment of multi-party democracy,ruling Uganda according to the Ten Commandments, and Acholi nationalism, though in practice the LRA is not motivated by any identifiable political agenda, and its military strategy and tactics reflect this and it appears to largely function as a personality cult of its leader Joseph Kony. Kony being a self-declared Prophet leading a violent cult has earned him the nickname "Africa's David Koresh". It is listed as a terrorist group by the United States and has been accused of widespread human rights violations, including murder, abduction, mutilation, child-sex slavery, and forcing children to participate in hostilities.

The Crips[]
The Crips are a gang based in the coastal regions of southern California. They were founded in Los Angeles, California, in 1969 mainly by Raymond Washington and Stanley Williams. Once a single alliance between two autonomous gangs, they are now a loosely connected network of individual "sets", often engaged in open warfare with one another. Its members traditionally wear blue clothing, a practice that has waned somewhat due to police crackdowns specifically targeting gang members. Historically, members have been primarily of African-American heritage. The Crips are one of the largest and most violent associations of street gangs in the United States. With an estimated 30,000 to 35,000 members in 2008, they have been involved in murders, robberies and drug dealing, among other crimes. The Crips have a long and bitter rivalry with the Bloods.

X-Factors[]
The ff. numbers are my own opinion. Feel free to make opinions of x-factors on your own.
- Training
- LRA: 50
- Crips: 60
Both warriors are not the best military trained force but they have some form of training. Many of the Crips were in the U.S. Military and its been investigated and proven that there are gang subculture in the military. However, not all Crips were in the military. The LRA have a more paramilitary-type of training but what gives them the edge is that all of them have this training. It's difficult to choose which of them have better party since one has the better training but not all of them are trained, while the other have militia-level training but at least all of them are trained. In the end though, I have to go with the Crips. Those with U.S. training would have trained their other brothas. The problem with the LRA is that almost all of them are kidnapped kids who grew up in abduction so they probably wouldn't be as loyal or disciplined.
- Experience
- LRA: 75
- Crips: 50
It's obvious that the LRA takes this. The Crips were a tough bunch who fought other gangs and the police but the LRA fought against the armies in Uganda and Sudan. Although the latter gets their asses kicked most of the time, they still are more experienced.
- Logistics
- LRA: 40
- Crips: 80
As infamous parties in the narco trade, the Crips are filthy rich. They also make deal with other gangs such as the cartels to buy high-caliber weapons. They also earn a lot of money in the hip-hop industry. The LRA has to barter and scavenge weapons from other more powerful African war lords, and their weapons are known to be horrendous. They are rusty, mud-crusted and of low quality.
Scenario[]
- Battle takes place in a town. The LRA were planning to raid a modern suburbia in Uganda, not knowing that the Crips came there to sell drugs and teach the kids the gangsta-way. Their meeting would soon end in bloodshed. There will be five members of each party.
- Voting has ended.
Battle[]
Crips: 1 x5
LRA: 0 x5
Although experts believed that the Mafia was richer and more influential, they seldom participate in a gunfight. The Crips, although disorganized, were more experienced and gunhappy when it comes to firefights. In the end, the Crips' experience in shootouts proved to be the winning factor in this battle.
In a modern African suburb, 5 American Crips were selling crack on the Africans, who has never seen the drug before. They were planing to establish their brand of coke in mother Africa, and hopefully be able to establish a set there. Unbeknownst to them, 5 LRA militiaman were sneaking to their positions. They were tasked by the great Joseph Kony to kill these yanks and take their drugs so they can use them for their own (i.e. for selling, brainwashing and raping kids). One LRA aimed his AK-47 and hit one Crip in the head.(1)
The Crips turned around and grabbed their Mac-10s. They soon opened fire, killing the LRA member in a hail of bullets.(0) As they backed away deeper into the suburbs, the LRA members charged at them yelling, "Kony! Kony!". One LRA scored a bulleye with his Uzi on the back of a Crip.(1) Enraged, one Crip grabbed his Ruger and fired, hitting one of the LRA members in the face.(0)
Taking refuge inside a house, the Crips barricaded themselves and continued open firing on the LRA members. One LRA was hit in the chest with rifle rounds.(0) The two remaining LRA members opened fire with their M1911s, taking out one Crip, resulting in him falling out of a window.(1) One of the Crips bursted out of another window and emptied his whole Glock magazine on a hapless LRA member.(0) But the last LRA retaliated by decaptiating his ehad off with a machete.(1)
Only one LRA and Crip remained. The latter tried to fire his Ruger but it was out of bullets. As the LRA charged at him with a machete, the Crip grabbed his baseball bat and parried his strike. He then cleanly bashed the balls of the LRA member, making him fall down yelling and grasping his groin. He then started to mercilessly beat the LRA member until he was dead.
The Crip raised his baseball bat and yelled, "Crips don't die! We multiply!"
Expert's Opinion[]
The Crips won because of their ruthlessness and better weapons compared to the conscripted youths of the LRA.
