The TAP Boyz (an acronym for The Arabian Posse, sometimes Tall Arabian Posse), was a Chicago-based Arab American street gang or self-described "movement" formed on the corner of West 63rd Street and South Kedzie Avenue in 1992. They disbanded in 1999 after losing members to Gangster Two-Six and Almighty Ambrose in the area. The Posse was formed in response to anti-Arab sentiment from rival gangs. The movement's goal was to protect the Arab-American community from racially motivated assaults precipitated by the Gulf War. Their gang colors are white and red and their gang symbol is a four pointed star, though they occasionally use a moon and crescent to represent allegiance to Islam, which most members practice.
