When people say the Mafia, in general, was more organized and proficient than black/hispanic street gangs, how much of this is actually true versus how much of it is somewhat tinted by racism to some extent. I'm not saying there isn't any legitimacy to those claims but i have seen some people use it as a sort of racial way like "oh italians are just smarter people" etc. etc.
Off course there are black/hispanic that are organizated enought to make hundred milions with drugs,launder it and invest in legit.
But the difference is in the hierarchy: boss,underboss,capo ecc is equal in all the clans,second is the operate in 2 worlds:corrupts judges,cops ecc but also elect politicians at high level positions and so one.
I never heard of a black/hispanic oc gruop that controlled an union,controlled a big bank or create a Commission for settle the disputes.
Thats the great differences.
