Why do so many black people love the incredibly racist Italian gangsters?

[Dooch]

First of all, pretty much everyone, including Latino, Asian and other gangs are racist toward blacks. But its not even about that....they are all prejudiced toward eachother.

Do you think Capone loved the Irish? Jews and Italians worked together because they made money. It all boils down to money. If the blacks can make money for you, they wont care if their black. I'm Italian and I've heard shit from everybody not Italian...wop, ginny, blah blah blah...doesnt faze me.
Also, these are criminals, the lowest form of any society....if black thug wannabe rappers want to look up to them, then so be it.
It is funny tho...it just shows you how confused some blacks are, but in my opinion, it isn't that deep....like any young people they loook up to gangsters cuz they think they are cool and it just so happens that the most popular ones in American History are mostly Italian and Jewish, and some Irish.

My question is this.....why do blacks care so much what different Europeans think of them?? I could give a fuck what the black community or people in Africa think of my Italian or American heritage.

Come to think of it, I think Italians are racist 'cause didn't they side with the white supremsists aka the Nazi's during WWII? Or am I thinking of a different country...

whoa whoa....before you speak on something you know very little about, educate yourself. What happened in Europe between WW 1 and WW 2 had nothing to do with black/white as we see it in America......To call Italy a country full of white supremicists for siding with Germany is like calling hte Japanese the same...and that doesnt make sense. What happened over their had nothing to do with american racism. In fact, many GI's that fought in France during WW1 came home pissed cuz they were treated better in Europe than in their own country.

The world does not see black/white racism like Americans do.

lol
this is not an american movie where gangsters speak english with an accent
italian gangsters actually speak italian

[JKDRevolutionary]

there WERE some mafioso dudes that werent racist...though they were few and far between, Sicily is Right above africa, so, a couple of the big bosses were friendly towards blacks.

those guys were all dead by the time guys like Capone and Bugsy Malone came around though.

The reason why SOME of [not even alot] black/latino [oppressed] people have shown respect for [not love] the Italian mafiaso type of lifestyle/persona is because they were getting over on the U.S. system [and even feared by some police] for a very long time. Case closed.

[Dooch]

thats pretty much it. They want to get over like the Italians did.

[Dooch]

Plus its not even that deep....its the same reason why some white try to identify with black rappers who are obviously anti-white. But at the end of the day, you cannot group people as one, you need to look individually....Ghostface has ranted some racist shit, but do you really think the dude HATEs whites like that?? Being that he is a devout Muslim now, and one of his boys is white (wigs)?

[LuckyTheWonderDog]

Yeah I get that, but it doesn't mean you give yourself nicknames based on them. Coming across like you idolise people who would show you no respect is kinda strange.

[Kephrem]

Some of these rappers [and some drug dealers, gang affiliated cats] usually give themselves the names of the most reknown gangsters like Luciano, Capone, Lensky, etc. I don't know if they're idolizing the person or if it's more about adopting the name in emulation of the respect they garnered in their time.

fuck italy

[Prolifical ENG]

movies..........

[Kephrem]

Movies are certainly a big part of the reason, but those movies actually reflected what was going in the real world where people have known of legitimate gangsters [in general], and of the Italian mafia for close to a 100 years. [especially in the major east coast cities]
