TAP Boyz (The Arabian Posse)
- TAP Boyz (The Arabian Posse)
The Arabian Posse or TAP Boyz is a Chicago-based Arab-American street gang. It was formed in response to anti-Arab sentiment that stemmed from the recent Gulf War to protect Arab-American (Mostly Palestinian American) students from being attacked in racially motivated assaults. [A Preliminary Gang Threat Analysis : http://www.ngcrc.com/ngcrc/chaldprof.htm] The TAP Boyz currently operate in Suburban areas of Southside Chicago, but have had significantly less activity in recent years; losing much of their original territory to rival gangs and urban rennovation.[Chicago's list of gangs : http://chicagogangs.org/index.php?pr=TAP_BOYS] Their gang colors are Red and White and the gang symbols are diamonds or 4 pointed stars.]Current and former territories in Illinois
