The Italian mob/mafia get treated like masterminds when really they were retards

[Neuromancer]

They were all dishonorable idiots.

 

[WMG the 2nd]

What do you think about Meyer Lansky? That dude seemed shifty. Connected to Roy Cohn, Epstein and Israeli intelligence

yeah Goodfellas let us know they were idiots

I’ll give lansky some credit but the gross majority were racist crooks who weren’t bright just bold and bullies. Nothing sophisticated about them besides fitting overweight guys in nice suita

 

[50CentStan]

Only thing they got right was paying money to stay operating. Other than that, yea they weren't genius at all

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

And they have a binder of snitches and rats that would make the most tattle tale breh catch the holy ghost

Yakuzas and triads>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>the mafia

 

[Luken]

I mean... no criminal organization that you know about is that amazing if you know about them.

If anything, outright mafia and organized crime just show how easy it is to loophole the American legal system. None of those crooks are geniuses, they just know that money keeps shyt movin :yeshrug m:

Triads, Russian Mafia, Serbian Mafia, Croatian Mafia, Nigerian Mafia and the Israeli Mafia seem to be geniuses in their own right.

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

Also, America in general loves non-black lawbreakers.
The Italian mafia, and the era of Jessie James, The Sundance Kid, the supposed old west.

All these ppl were murderers and criminals, but they get romanticized

I never and will never understand America’s infatuation with the outlaw. They were robbing and killing train conductors who were exporting goods that we’re expanding the country and robbing banks that weren’t federally insured. They were menaces to society against the common man and now the common man idolizes them

 

[DonRe]

Like in anything in life, those who are willing to violate and kill to succeed in whatever field, will essentially triumph. Until they become the target and the cycle continues.

mafia, gangs, businesses, etc just exploit the system to the best of their ability and resources.

 

[luciddreamer]

I don't think they were painted as masterminds, .... They were just in the age of not much surveillance and tracking as we have now.... All they did was muscle and kill people who didn't fall in line, cops, feds, whoever got it....no one wanted to possibly get whacked... so of course they were revered... But Stuff like that isn't really gonna fly in this day and age.

Unless your the cartel that is....... Those cats are a different breed.

 

[Deuterion]

They had White Privilege.

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

Came in here to say that really only Meyer Lansky is seen as a mastermind. The rest are just seen as bullies.

He had things clicking too

America is an outlaw nation, that's why. It literally started on some outlaw shyt and then once it got rich started doing outlaw shyt across the world.

 

[GnauzBookOfRhymes]

Most were no different than any other gangbanger. The smartest thing they did was to use their murderous ways to invade the unions (and by extension politicians). Then once they realized the Feds were too strong, they spent the time/effort to go legit. In Chicago the mob is as big as it's ever been (by revenue) without having to kill as much.

 

[ElMorenoFeo809]

because-a theys Italian, so it mean theys a classy and sophisticated.

theys a wear Prada suits and eats-a the spicy meataball and grandmas gabagool.

marone!

And they always eat at a big table with their extended family under a fancy chandelier

 

[hatealot]

Organized crime won't be able to operate without corruption. Point blank. They mobb are able to operate the way that they did because of their skin color, they can blend in. Black crime groups are locked out of certain ventures just off race alone.

That's why I'm quick to catch em' eating spaghetti

Just the complexion for the connection that's all fukk them spaghetti eating muthafukkas.
