La Cosa Nostra, The Mob, The Mafia

[Mr. P]

Yep. Play the race card you weak ass motherfucker.

How about we talk about what we know about the Mob etc, instead of tossing out ridiculous posts like that?

[TheSage]

Yes, RWA thinks its all murder all the time. Truth is your really powerful bosses who lasted decades like Carlo Gambino rarely had people whacked, whacking people caused undue attention and undue attention was bad for business. Now intimidation and shakedowns were the preferred method of alot of these guys to keep people in line and for the most part people stayed in line because in reality the mob is like a big pyramid scheme, if the people under the boss aren't making any money the boss isn't making any money and the mob is always about the bottom line.

Think about honestly though what the mob provided and what it was involved in.....gambling:legal in most places..........loansharkingroviding loans to people who can't go to the bank for whatever reason........prostitutionldest profession in the world, can be argued either way whether its harmful or not.

Now i'm not saying they weren't into some bad shit, Unions they basically controlled and could shut down entire projects with a phone call................heck they for decades controlled the entire garbage pickup industry in NYC, charging exorbitant rates.......the newer generation in the 80's got into the heroin trade but overall the things the mob provided for the most part were not detrimental.

So it was just shakedown, indtimidation, muder, drugs prostitution and and gambling then? Regular boy scouts. You're a psychopathic criminal.

Yep. Play the race card you weak ass motherfucker.

You can't hang and you know it. Its a fact, its a Southern European thing, you won't understand.

And funny you talk about race card.......Jews mean anything to ya?

You've always been my bitch for years here now, you've been my always faithful bitch.

Please don't make me beat you down again for about the 12th time, i'm begging you don't make me do it.

Better than being a racist I guess.

But my being white is a reasonable argument?

I was trying but Mr. no knowledge had to jump in.

Basically I picture RWA as that guy in Goodfellas, the guy they called Spider who was serving drinks at that poker game they had, he was a clueless dolt and Joe Pesci smoked him saying "his family are rats, he would've grown up to be a rat".

I'm not a racist, I simply believe white people have the same constitutionally protected civil rights as others. Unlike you, who thinks racial discrimination against white people is noble.

You brought up my race, like it's somehow relevant.

It has nothing to with you being White, its just a fact that the mob is basically a Southern European thing and more specifically Italian, Sicilian to be precise and if you have no experience whether through blood or relationship(friendship) with these people than you won't be able to understand and you will look at it through pure emotion only. If you can't deal with that fact maybe you shouldn't be in this discussion.

It's called tribalism. It's not special, or unique to you wops.

It is wholly relevant, but its not purely race as in one race is smarter than the other, its geography and culture. Just as an Italian would know about the Cosa Nostra tradition he would know nothing of the Japanese Samurai tradition.

Understand boy?

You were the first one to bring up ethnicity. THat shows your true colors, hypocrite.
