As far Cook comments, it represents Cook opinions. You do notice that I don't applaud nor support his words is because it's his/her view. Not mine. Plus me & Cook is on/off like Pizzaboy on certain topics.
That's fair, BF. And you're a bright and level headed guy, so I'm going to clarify something about myself once and for all.
I'm Italian American, 55 years old. I grew up with a million wiseguys in the Fordham/Belmont section of the Bronx when they were still strong around there. And I'm ALWAYS warning these kids here that the real mob is not a movie or a television show.
And it also drives me nuts when kids whose families have been here for five generations try to come off like Vinny Barbarino. And I ALWAYS give them shit for lowering themselves down to the stereotype. Go through my posts and see if I'm lying.
So here's my position: If I'm willing to knock MY OWN PEOPLE for lowering themselves down to a stereotype, why should I be afraid to mention it when Blacks or Puerto Ricans do the same thing? Because in my mind, I'm just being consistent.
