The article was bland and rehashed as usual. The article didn't touch upon other known racketeers during each era. It's well known that Black racketeers have been in the wholesale distribution in Cocaine/Crack era and prostitution racket in Black communities is obviously still actively under their control. Corrupt public officials did take their money and still currently. What's missing is the other raxkets such as Arms-Trafficking, Money Laundering, Chop Shops, Counterfeiting, & frauds.

They need more researchers and column writers from the other side of the tracks per say.

I agree with you about information being rehashed in different articles.
Do you know of any good books that have been written about these other known Black racketeers or do you feel there is not enough material written about them ?

The criminal justice system in this country is a very European-based system that was racist. They were the ones that took black gangsters out, not the Italians. It was the FBI who didn’t want to see a black mob succeed more than the Mafia.

Black gangsters never had the inroads to government and law enforcement that Italian and Irish gangsters had. Jewish gangsters were affiliated with Italians so that was their 'Get out of Jail Free' card. The reason Black gangsters were never able to form an organized crime group similar to Cosa Nostra is the same reason Cosa Nostra never caught on in the west coast, despite the area being ripe with money and corruption. They were shut out by government officials and law enforcement. In NY the Italian gangsters had Tammany Hall. In California they had redneck Willie Parker who thought Italians were just another minority. Black gangsters were met with this roadblock nationwide.

I haven't been reading other titles but those 2 are informative. And yes there's isn't much written material pre-60s due to bigotry but post-60s increase the amount of research. Yet considerable amount into Street Gangs. I would check out Almighty Black P Stones too. Their history includes a small interactions with the Chicago Outfit.

I wonder did the philly black mafia or the junior black mafia pay bruno or scarfo or merlino to operate in philly.

I wonder did midget molley pay scarfo to operate in atlantic city

Do you guys think that there might be a chance for a new black mafia in the future ?

The future's here. Instead of using the "Mafia" i prefer Syndicate. There's plenty of Black crime syndicates active now in metropolitan cities involved in a myriad of activities.

Are there many black gangsters involved in 'white collar'or conventional mafia rackets? There's was a documentary series I use to watch about black gangsters and they were all basically just drug dealers and a few pimps
I dont remenber any book makers,loan sharks,or anything like that
