When you think about it, that's exactly what it is. They're giving instructions for how to convert the enemy gang sign into their gang sign. Of course, the enemy gang is not nearly as prevalent as they have convinced themselves, and if you ever DO see swastika graffiti it's far more likely to be from a hoaxer than an actual neo-Nazi, but that's beside the point.
I saw the parallels when teaching at a university. The women studies teachers all demanded the right colors be worn and told students about graffiti with their symbols. Since I had studied gang culture a while back, it was easy to spot.
It's like gang signs to them.
