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.
