rollin 60s 

In 1972, the Rollin' 60's formed as a faction of the original Crip gang, the Westside Crips, and have since grown. Their main rival is the Eight Tray Gangster Crips to the East; however, they also fight with all Hoover Criminal sets. Their main Blood rival would be the Van Ness Gangsters (VNG) to the north as well as another beef with the Inglewood Family Blood Gang. Since many of the 60s attend Crenshaw High School, north of Slauson Ave, they often clash with the Van Ness Gangster Brims. Other rivals would include all Hoover Criminals, especially the 83 Hoover Criminals, 74 Hoover Criminals and all Gangster Crips that are hooked up with the Eight Tray Gangster Crips, such as the 53 Avalon Gangster Crips and 43 Gangster Crips. The 60s are allied with the Rollin 40's Neighborhood Crips, Rollin 100's Neighborhood Crips, and all Neighborhood Crips
According to the Los Angeles Daily News, Rollin' 60's is "the largest black criminal street gang in the City of Los Angeles with over 1,600 active members - the size of an Army brigade." Gang activities include murder, bank robberies, rape, drug trafficking, carjacking, assault and vandalism graffiti.

The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
