People may also remember the scene in the first season where Chris is being belligerent in the burger joint where it's mostly black customers. The black cop came up to Massive Genius' guy and said "He's only bold 'cause he's semi-hooked up with the Tony Soprano crew." In this case, they did know who he was (or more importantly who he was with) and it probably kept him from getting attacked.
Exactly, Ivy, that's the point. Why Chris was recognized and the blacks don't beat him while the 2 thoughs yes ? The respect is all on the streets,and if one of the thougs say on the street "yeah fellas,I kicked the ass to a guido yesterday and was with tony soprano"; what will happens in this case ? It's just a my curiosity.
