Even the older, longer established black and hispanic gang members fall woefully short of what the mafia was, and is. None of them, NONE, have the deep penetration, sophistication, or ability to transcend themselves into anything but what they have always been. Street urchins.
They have no deeper "well" of understanding of what's what. Only their extremely limited knowledge of selling drugs, violence, and hurting one another. Period! And thats a well worn fact. How can you elevate yourself to become something more, when you don't have the "tools" to do it? You don't even know what it is you should be searching for to achieve.
With the Italian underworld, we are talking next level shit here. Not riding motorcycles by guys who haven't bathed or shaved in weeks. Or blacks and hispanic "kids" for all intents and purposes (regardless of how old they may be), who don't have a "clue" ?
The ONLY place I've seen them become a 'bit' elevated has been in Canada. An anomaly for sure. But even up there they are still "lost in space" in the larger scheme of things. You have any extremely outdated view that stems from decades ago....Alot of these other racial groups make more money in a week than cosa nostra makes in a year through the drug trade and have infinitely more street presence than the Italians. The bikers are extremely organized and have roots going back 80 years... And to say a "bit elevated" in Canada is a joke..The Hells Angels in Canada were making over 100 million a year from drugs alone, not to mention the gambling and loan sharking theyre involved in

I can get a lot of views here.
At one hand, it's true no other criminal organization in North America even today has the reach the Mafia has. The FBI still designates them as the number one noteworthy type of organized crime. Historically speaking no other criminal organization will ever achieve what LCN achieved - it was a "right time right place" situation. All of those other newer "crime threats" that were supposed to supplant LCN never actually got to their level. Not the "Russians", not the Albanians and, no, not the cartels. I mean, not even close.
On the other hand, when people are questioning whether LCN is still feared, they do have a point. Mess with a street/prison/biker gang member of a certain stature - whether they're Black, Hispanic, White Supremacist, Asian... - someone's gonna come knocking on your door to rape your wife and smash your kid's skull with a bat before they get medieval on your ass. That's the reputation these gangs have. The Mafia on the other hand...people are asking all that time whether they're still around. Of course they're still around - and they still have more money and resources than your average joe realizes - but still they're regarded as a relic of a bygone age. Their name isn't on the streets any longer. Sally Daz got killed without any repercussions. Frank Cali got killed...no repercussions. Informants and rats are living the life and having a ball out in the open without fear of getting whacked... Sure you can argue that LCN doesn't need the heat, but situations like these don't do much to change the fact that the street reputation of the Mafia is basically non-existent nowadays.

It was a self-survival technique. Now, the witness program and the DNA capabilities today have forced members and the bosses to retreat. They ARE in a retreat mode. And have been for over 20 years already. But make NO mistake. There is NO black, hispanic, or biker gang member who would EVER knowingly challenge a bonafide Mafia member.

In prison, or on the streets, they fawn in respect before Cosa Nostra members. The few times one of these fellas went up against the mafia, the VERY FEW times, they typically came away losers. The other members of these gangs would tell them, "what are you a nut???" "thats the mafia man!" There are still thousands or inducted members nationwide. Not to mentioned many tens of thousands of associates..... and for every soldier who is not a hitter, there is one that is. You think these upstarts wanna chance that?? No way! No how! We can debate this all day long. And you are free to believe whatever you like.... but I believe (with all my fiber) that what I'm telling you is the truth of the matter. Yesterday, today, and tomorrow!

Yesterday, today, and tomorrow! Made men have been challenged. Gotti got his ass kicked in jail. And I live in Montreal and Toronto. And trust me, mafia member have been challenged by haitian gang members in Montreal. And we are talking about made men and not associate. We get it, the mafia are the most connected organized crime group. But they arr not feared like you think. Sure, a criminal will think twice before attacking a made men, but sometime it happens. In the eastern part of montreal, gang members were attacking mafia’s hot spot, and not by the order of another mafia member. But by themself, and everybody from the neighborhood knows that

BM, I appreciate what you are saying. And I too know of incidents where connected guys were assaulted. By blacks, Spanish, Irish, Polish, Portoguese, Greeks, and others ethnicities.
Of course there are exceptions to every rule. It's natural. After all, people are only human. Some people don't think straight, or get heated and lash out. But in those rare instances, they usually pick their punches.
For instance, Gotti Sr was a sixty-some-odd-years old man, against a young, 6'-something, 250 pound black hood who had nothing to lose. He was doing life already, so what did he care? Plus he knew he had the advantage. What you gotta say, is that although greatly out-gunned because of age and size, Gotti still stepped up and threw punches. THATS a ballsy guy! Not the 250 pounder who damn well knew there would be NO retribution whatsoever because they were both locked down and he had the advantage.
I wonder if he would have raised his hands if they were both out (free) on the streets?? Lol.... I doubt it!! In fact I'd lay my bottom dollar he would have folded his balls between his legs and said excuse me Mr. Gotti!
Because if he pulled that shit on the street, LCN dictate or no dictate, he would have been hunted down and slaughtered where they found him. If not shot dead on the spot as he raised his hands..... FACT
and I dare say that 99.9% of any similar incidents you heard about are either false bravado, they pick their shots, or they are nut jobs.
But either way, even in 2021, it's extremely rare to hear.

Yes its rare. In the 90s it was rare because of fear. Now since de 2000s, its mostly rare, because if you have the privilege to talk to a made men, you are probably in the high sphere of the criminal world of youre city. So you won’t attack a made man, because you know you’ll probably be banned from many opportunities. Sure, maybe you will have a hit on youre head, but at this level, most criminals got hits on their heads, so...... In 2021, and i’m talking about Montreal or Toronto and not the US. Most gangsters respect the mob because of opportunities. The mob is the most well established organization in Canada, so to be against them, its like closing many doors. So, gangsters won’t attack a mobster just like that, but its not because of fear.

That's why they're still regarded as the most important criminal organization imho; even in this day and age the mob is still the most resourceful, they still have their fingers in all the pies and their reach is still the furthest. If you're a serious criminal wanting to make a buck it's still much more profitable working with the mob and going against them will get you nowhere at the end of the day.
I don't think the American mafia is being mocked by other criminal organizations; they're definitely respected, but the way I see it, it's not out of fear or the threat of violence.
Italy of course, is a different ballgame. If a locally active Nigerian, Albanian or Chinese criminal would lay his hands on for instance a high ranking Camorra or Ndrangheta member he would see his sweatshop getting torched and his family being killed and dissolved in a barrel of acid in no time.
I think juste like you. In Italy, the italian crime groups got 10000 of italians that are ready to pull the trigger. While in Canada, many of the mob hits are made by other groups, blacks, bikers, whites or others. Sure you still got italians who do hits, but the mob don’t have the same street power than before, bbecause you see less young italians that are about that thug life, they will do scam etc. But they are not stone cold killers like the young ones in some poor neighborhoods

What about the Gemini Crew and the Cuban Crisis? Castellano didn't want any part of the Cubans or Columbians and it makes you wonder how they would have fared in an all out war against Griselda Blanco or Sal Magluta and Willie Colon. What about The Medellin and Cali Cartels, you have Escobar, Carlos Lehder etc.

Even the older, longer established black and hispanic gang members fall woefully short of what the mafia was, and is. None of them, NONE, have the deep penetration, sophistication, or ability to transcend themselves into anything but what they have always been. Street urchins.
They have no deeper "well" of understanding of what's what. Only their extremely limited knowledge of selling drugs, violence, and hurting one another. Period! And thats a well worn fact. How can you elevate yourself to become something more, when you don't have the "tools" to do it? You don't even know what it is you should be searching for to achieve.
With the Italian underworld, we are talking next level shit here. Not riding motorcycles by guys who haven't bathed or shaved in weeks. Or blacks and hispanic "kids" for all intents and purposes (regardless of how old they may be), who don't have a "clue" ?
The ONLY place I've seen them become a 'bit' elevated has been in Canada. An anomaly for sure. But even up there they are still "lost in space" in the larger scheme of things. I think one reason that the Italian Mafia reached the upper more sophisticated echalons of crime and able to blend in with a higher status of society stems from the Italian immigration experience itself . Like the song "I want to be be Americano". While respecting and keeping their Italian and Roman Castholic traditions,most of them strived to assimilate and be part of American society at the same time. Starting with learning to speak English and getting formally educated or at least educating their children, if not the immgrants themselves.So eventually they could blend in and be accepted among more influential or successful Americans who often were powerful and /or wealthy people. On the other hand whether its bikers or street gangs of several other ethnicities,they seem to often reject or rebel against that idea in the way they often won't speak English, or refuse to speak what is considered good English rather than their own slang, Or the way they dress or participate in what may be considered more polite American society.Also,it seems like early on some of these other ethnic groups were headed in the same direction as the one the Italians took,but maybe by the 1960s many of their number,those more inclined to crime did an about face or a 180 from the earlier gangsters of their ethnicities. Today some of these gangs seem to totally reject being part of the American culture by assimilating that the Italians strived to be part of even while not abandoning their own culture. I'd say that in that regard that the Irish and Jews including their organized crime groups followed that same path as the Italians in assimilating

Those Italian and Jewish ghettos are no longer around in most cities which might reduce the number of really tough guys ,not just physically ,but mentally tough and hard, who would become part of the Italian Mafia You make a good point.Prime example was the massacre in Volturno in Caserta Province. Probably Scampia neighborhood and other sections of Naples and other Italian towns ,for example, are still turning out plenty of guys that are as hard and tough as their predecessors ever were

NYMafia I dont thinks nobody is saying that a black groups have surpassed or as the same level than what the mafia was or still is. Everybody knows that the italians made this organized crime shit, and nobody in America will be as powerful that what the mafia did. Me, I’m just saying that in 2021, and probably since the 2000s, many organized crime groups and even some street gangs are not scared of the mafia anymore Not sure that the a lot of the Black gangsters were ever "scared". Doubt that most of the Jews or Irish gangsters were scared either for that matter.But probably in the past they were more convinced that they'd be tracked down for retribution for any defiance or direct attack on any mafia group or mermber.The continuous government prosecutions of the mafia has caused them to not be as bold as they once could be. Doesn't mean that it will stay that way forever. You'll probably soon see more and more Rico cases against these Black gangs or motorcycle gangs thatmight change their willingness to resort to violence at the same level as now.
