Street gangs have largely replaced traditional organized crime outfits. There are allegations that some of these gangs have and are, extorting record labels and recording artists after providing finance and getting a piece of the operation, eventually taking it over completely.
Guys,many blacks are so poor that sell dope or kill someone for few bucks and get long sentences is normale how to breathe! Same thing for the latinos.
The average wannabe want to make money and enjoy it! Do you know why many gang murders remain unsolved?
Nobody speak with the cops and the LE dont want to waste money and time for a street punk. The black gangs are full of wannabies and part of them are smart while the american mafia it's scraping the bottom of the barrel.
The italian americans can easly made money without the mob and the today associates are the worst.
The old times and maybe wiseguys born in the 1960s-1970s can handle the prison but must pay for the peotection while the blacks have their gangs in prison.
And last but not least:the media.
The Sopranos,the Mob Doctors and other film or TV series the people like mobsters.
Only in recent years was made tv series on bikers or blacks (apart The Wire in the early 2000s).
