Raymond Lee Washington, the founder of the Crips, member of the Baby Avenues
Home > Crip Gangs > Raymond Washington
Raymond Lee Washington grew up on 76th Street on the East Side of Los Angeles near Fremont High School and is the founder of what would later be known as the Crips. It was in 1969 when Washington organized several neighborhood kids in a click called the Baby Avenues (aka Avenue Cribs). By late 1971 the Cribs where being referred to as the Crips and their reputation around Los Angeles grew. It was around this time when Washington met Stanley Tookie Williams, who lived on the westside and recruited him into the Crips. In 1999, Alex Alonso published a detailed history on the Crips in Territoriality Among African American Street Gangs in Los Angeles which in 2000 inspired the documentary, Lords of the Mafia (aka Gangsta King) which tells the story of how the Crips formed in Los Angeles.
Raymond Lee Washington was killed on August 9, 1979, five months before Stanley “Tookie” Williams was arrested for quadruple murder. No one was was ever arrested in Washington’s murder.
An article about Raymond Washington was published in issue #5 of Allhood Magazine.

why did the media keep saying tookie williams started the crips when that is not actual or factual.
Tookie Williams is one of the Ni66ahs who started the cripk gang they didn’t say he did it by his self read and don’t just scan
Because that sounded more sensational and would make people more interested in the story. The media ain’t ish Cuzz!!

go learn ENGLISH. DAMN you look smart.
You gangsters are all weak if you want to k just enlist in the military. You guys are not men`s you were raised by your mother`s only so you don`t know anything about being men`s. All of you can`t read or write so it`s not your fault you say gangsters only know about white t-shirts and cars. But you wait your time will come soon many of you have kids so you wait and see what the outcome will be for them.
Well it is natural selection at its best. Totally agree JT. I came from the “projects” and I pushed my way out. I now make six figures…lets face it gang bangers provides a service. Police Officers continue to be employed. Medical workers get over time and gain knowledge on how to treat gun shot wounds that can be used to treat our Nations real hero’s. ATF will continue to be employed because of them….I lost my son to the neanderthal way of life…I think everyone should be tried as terrorist!
These thuggish idiots are all cowards. It don’t take guts to k an innocent unarmed person that’s why they DON’T enlist I the military , cos the other guys have guns too and shoot back.,.bunch of marks.
Nawll da cowards is these weak ass police k-ingg folks who ain armed Ni66ah kno wat da I dont like dey getting into wen dey come home so all y’all I dont like Ni66ahs need to shut da I dont like up speaking on ish dat don’t concern y’all H60D C.I.P to all da homies dats gone
exactly. at least when gangs k each other they’re both armed. still, profile of a total coward.
Its like you read my mind! You appear to know so much about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can do with a few pics to drive the message home a little bit, but other than that, this is great blog. A great read. I’ll definitely be back.
Undeniably believe that which you said. Your favorite reason appeared to be on the internet the easiest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I certainly get irked while people consider worries that they just don’t know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , people can take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
An interesting dialogue is worth comment. I feel that you must write more on this subject, it won’t be a taboo topic but usually persons are not sufficient to talk on such topics. To the next. Cheers
873 fool!

The war between crips and bloods has been going on for more then 40 years. u folks can stop war all over the world but cant stop it in our very own country. the reason being is bc yal fs are afraid of a young black man with a gun. u rather we k each other then to try to stop it.
I pray one day you smart Ni66ahs get it. Hate your kind, tske from your kind this the new method of slavery= dead or in jail with a few that slip through the crack. (Equivalent of house Ni66ahs) yall playing into the cracka’s hands. Glorifying bullish I hope all y’all under the age of 10.
My latest book I am Raymond Washington is now available for preorder on Amazon.com. I am Raymond Washington is an unprecedented look inside the life of the original founder of the Crips. http://amzn.to/1KikBH4
Cslip has some unique grammar. What does “resource more” mean exactly? Police urselves, govern urselves,i guess it doesnt mean spelling or educate urselves. Making a living the best way you know how….hmmm i guess thats why you dont own anything urselves or have respect for anything including “urselves”. Every other minority group that came to this country found a way to take care of themselves, educate and protect themselves, then get the hell outta the ghetto. Without k-ingg each other. Blacks are the only group who havent been able to solve this problem. They dont understand the simplest of things. Whats the purpose of a belt? If it doesnt hold your pants up? You would rather walk around having to use 1 hand to hold up your pants and keep them from falling off your smart ass. The world would be a better place if they could learn how to hold and fire a handgun. Aiming it sideways is smart and inaccurate. Just like everything else, you wont take the time to learn anything properly. Do me a favor and learn how to read so i dont have to wait in line behind you at burger king while you ask how much each item costs even though prices are clearly marked. One more thing…what has 6 balls and screws black people? The lottery. Is that enough “resource” fo yo ass. ish for brains animal. Im glad jews and koreans own everything in your neighborhoods. They are the only ones who can tolerate your behavior. They wont be there long bc like everyone else except you, they have a plan to get out of their disadvantaged situation. They will exploit your smartity until there is no more money to make then move. Then a black owner will probably buy the place and go out of business within 2 years bc they have no clue how to take care of anything. Or they will get robbed or shot by one of their own kind. Great way to “take care of things the best you can”. FYI, thats your problem…your best isnt even close to good enough. Just look at the whole continent of Africa…its a disaster.
Africa is run by white people, probably why it’s so screwed up. I mean, look at our country; it’s always been run by white folks and look at the shape it’s in. Bigots such as yourself fascinate me; you run your mouth incessantly, giving your teeny-tiny minded, uneducated opinion, talking about things you clearly know less than nothing about, just so that you can bash an entire race. What’s wrong Skippy, did your girlfriend dump you for a black guy? Did you try to write a rap song and it didn’t work out for ya? Do you constantly get dunked on when you play ball? Seriously “bsal”, first of all you’re insulting someone’s spelling yet you wrote your post in teenage text-speak! It’s not “urselves” it’s “yourselves”; it’s not “bc” it’s “because”, unless, of course, you’re (not “ur”) an overgrown child writing your (again, not “ur”) post from mommy and daddy’s basement which you refer to as “ur apartment!” Second, the sagging pants thing is a fashion statement born in prison, not black neighborhoods. There are many, many, many white boys walking around with their asses hanging out too and if you would come up out of the basement (oops, I mean “ur apartment”) for more than a run to the store for more beer, you would know that. And last, I live in a predominantly white neighborhood (I’m of mixed race, by the way) and there are an awful lot of trailer parks with an awful lot of really poor white people that don’t seem to have found their way out of their “disadvantaged” situation, either. Interesting footnote, there are a lot of black homeowners here too, within blocks of trailer-land! Hmmm. Now what do you make of that? You know what else? Even with all these black folks out here running around owning businesses, buying homes, and raising families we have one of the lowest crime rates in the US. Grow up, whoever you are, and if you can’t think of something else to do with your life other than write posts that confirm not only your lack of intelligence, but your lack of humanity as well, then at least stick with subjects with which you are familiar, such as beer and NASCAR. Thanks!
