H.Y.P.E. Movement

So the other day I was reading up on the hype movement that was started by young college kids back in Tonga who were concerned with growing rates of school drop outs and death among Tongan youth. So they wanted to start a movement that gives empowerment to young tongans, and to better oneself through positive actions. Along with this movement they have black bracelets that you can get with the words hype on it. Now my opinion on this is of coarse....how cool and good for these young adults who are trying to get the message out to empower yourself by doing positive things. Now this is where I get a little confused. So I go onto the hype myspace and for the majority part you see youth from all over sport'n the bracelet. However, you also see individuals sport'n the bracelet and they're throwing up signs or hypes top friends are obviously individuals that belong to gangs. HMMM....I think some people missed the whole point of this movement. Infact, i find it a little entertaining because if someone were to do some statics on why there is a growing number of school drop outs and death among tongan youth I'm pretty sure there would be a positive correlation between that and gang banging. Also something for these youth to take into consideration is that gang banging is not empowering but rather the complete oposite.
