We're not arguing how anything is. You're trying to establish cause, and making a weak case.

You brought race into this discussion, to make the case that the mob isn't as bad as black gangs, all because you were triggered by someone's argument that someone like Persico shouldnt be put on a pedestal. So, if you're going to try to make your case with crime stats, you need to find stats that couldnt also be explained by poverty and education level.


"...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
