Gangster Disciples, 63rd , Black Disciples, O block

Our guest, R Neal Bey, will take us on an enthralling journey through his life, a story steeped in resilience and filled with lessons learned in the harshest of circumstances. Growing up in the 80s in the satellite town of Carbondale, Illinois, R Neal Bey experienced firsthand the influence of the Black Panthers, Vice Lords, and Black Stones, gangs that played a pivotal role in shaping the community. We dive into the complex, community-oriented nature of these gangs, the global spread of the GDs, and the consequential impact of mass incarceration.

Prepare to be moved as R Neal Bey shares his transformative meeting with Imam Malik in Marion, Illinois, a profound encounter that left an indelible mark on his life. Resilience echoes through his account of his time spent in various federal and state prisons, teachings about Islam, and the importance of good health. We touch on topics that are often shrouded in stigma, such as drugs, gang affiliation, and the disturbing reality of youth violence - I share my own chilling story of being shot at just 11 years old.

We're tearing away at societal stereotypes as we delve into the intricate organizational structure of the Gangster Disciples and the Black Gangster Disciples, exposing occultic symbols and historical ties to the black power movement. R Neal Bey bares his spiritual journey, from his transition from the GDs to Moor Science, a path that has shaped his understanding of the world and self. Our conversation unearths a fresh perspective, revealing the human experience within these organizations. It's time to truly listen and learn. Join us.
