Southern Cicero, Berwyn, the South Side and all southern suburbs were always "gold mine" for the Mob and chances are that the situation might be the same, but obviously not like in the past because of the lack of more sophisticated black gangsters. I still believe that none of the other ethnic gangs in Chicago have the level of infiltration in legitimate enterprises and political donations as people connected to the Outfit.


Good point like the wiseguys the black gangsters now are nothing like the Old School.


Probably the Italians back then,if alive today ,would rather be around some of the Black mob guys back then,than around some of the Italians in the mob today
For one thing ,just the way they dressed alone


Those were the norm in that timeframe of this country. I cannot overstate every single time it's brought up here or other online platforms. Please look at how EVERYONE dressed in that era, rather it's plain to luxury tailor made. What we call casual attire/church clothes now was the everyday attire a hundred years ago.
