Why are blacks so impressed by these drug kingpins. Not like it takes smarts. Just violence. What is so impressive about a 26 year old getting life?
Likely for the same reason whites are so impressed by hoodlums whose primary skill set is also violence. Whites write books, produce movies and television shows about such people and have built up huge cottage industries doing so. Whites even argue on websites about exactly which lowlife is a real captain and which lowlife is only a street boss and so forth and so on..
Theres even people on websites saying stupid shit about how they hope certain crime families stabilise and giving pointers on how they should avoid this and that in order to avoid prosecution and thrive. I remember a thread on here about the colombos where some people were saying things like "they should really ditch persico cause he's bad for them and he's not the rightful boss" like its a fucking football team or something.
