This thread reminds me of that episode of The Sopranos when the old lady complains to Tony about the Puerto Ricans making noise in her building (she calls them "ni**ers"). Later in the episode, Tony is on the phone with the lady from Jamba Juice, takes one look at that wretched old woman from earlier, and decides to sell out the old neighborhood right then and there.
"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea
