What color were the first pimps, first gangstas and first drug dealers in Amerikka??

Answer: White.

So why is it then that when non-blacks claim to be gangsta, pimps or drug dealers, people say, they`re trying to act black

Blacks have been only doing gang sh*t for some 50 years while the italian mobb been around since day one and all the irish and jewish gangs also....As far as pimps white men are the biggest pimps think about it, porn makes them trillions a year? Plus they were the first to start, legalize and control prostitution....Now lets discuss drug dealers hmmmm blacks are only small time dealers, go to american's most wanted dom com or just do a google search & see who sells the most drugs in america/worldwide....American's mosted wanted had three shows on the most wanted drug dealers & the majority of them were white & white latinos a partnership.

Even gangsta rap is 80% white owned & controled and 70% of white people buy it more then all other ppl. It was influenced by italians (mafia, mobb, ganstas) So blacks really are acting white or italian, it anit whites acting black as they potray. All the black and latino thugs and gangstas are carbon copies of white italians. We've been brainwashed and i can admit i'v been a victim of this thinking also.

You know what i've wondered?

You know the television program ... Growing Up Gotti ... or something like that?

I've seen it a time or two, and wondered how the children of this "criminal" lives so luxuriously?

How do they get convicted, sent to prison, are known gangsters, making money through illicit means ... yet their children still reap the benefits of these lifestyles?

When Black folk get convicted of crimes involving drugs, murder, etc. ... the whole Family gets wiped out financially ... they take everything from them.

How did these folk get to hold on to their ill-gotten gain ... even becoming television stars?

That is a good question Destee...I wonder why more people don't ask the same?

most white people in America are living on ill got gains.
they don't want to open that door.

we have to open it for them and demand our share.

Victoria gottis story (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2000/08/04/48hours/main221816.shtml)

Even though one has gangstas for parents.. and he has done horrid things. Every great illegal operation always had a cover, a straight up and up business that thrived. Business' that were put in close family members names, with books that were in order.. so when "it all falls down"... as Kanye West said.. the family isnt left estranged. I my great grandfather did this to protect our family when his bootleg whisky operation got busted.. he sent my g'grandma to hair school.. and opened up beauty salons.. and worked it that the hair cut that costed one lady 4$ in the books said twelve.. and it all worked out.. even when he recieved 1year jail time. But Victoria is well educated, and married money as well.. str8 hole in one :pool:

Not to sound arrogant, but I already knew this a while back!

The only thing is this - The Media expoits all the blacks, and portrays us as gangstas, just to show how afraid they are of us. Stereotypical white folks from back then until now, ALL have a high level of fear inside of them. I am convinced to say that whatever they have to done to us, they did to us because they FEARED us so much.

The demons are all over them....they just don't know it.

Destee, you are talking about Organized Crime, a Syndicate with tentacles all over the world... African American criminal operations are disorganized small change ops for the most part... Organized Crime takes care of it's own, and we do like we do, and are all for self...

Organized Crime uses it's ill-gotten gains to pay off judges, and support politicians, we buy big cars and fancy clothes, and Hennessey... Organized Crime, also, invests it's money into LEGAL business operations, like construction and Sanitation companies, while we live large, and buy bling items... Don't get me wrong... I don't support either, but you asked why one is able to keep their money, and the other loses(gives it away)... That is why...

Look at Don King... Well Known gangster/Boxing Promoter... He's not only kept his money, but escaped jail for 40 years... Nick Barnes opened his mouth in 1976, and said he was "Untouchable..." Jimmy Carter read this in the New York Times magazine, and Nicky got sent to the joint for the next 20 years... Negroes also don't know how to keep their mouth shut, and do stuff QUIETLY...(smile!) They don't know how to share their money with the politicians and judges that can, and do protect Mafia people... Disorganized Crime...

BTW, P.O.C. does not speak the truth when he/she says African Americans have only been at the crime game 50 years... African Americans wrote the book on Pimping... Read Robert Iceberg Slim Beck's books on the subject... It will open your eyes about that... "Berg was pimping in the 1930's, and his mentor was pimping 40 years before that!!! What's that, the 1890's???

Also, brother OldSoul's friend just wrote a book called The Policy Kings, and he can tell you about the African americans who ran the so-called illegal numbers game in Chicago... If you saw the movie HOODLUM with Lawrence Fishburne, Bumpy Washington iwas a real figure in Harlem, who fought to keep the Numbers in Black Hands... Policy was invented by African Americans in the South, and came north with our migrations here... Whew, wish we'd do a little more research on ourselves... There's a lot we will be proud of, and some things...well...

Peace!

Beautiful post Isaiah. When people say white boys who are pimpin, etc. are acting black, it's not the underlying thing they're doing that's acting black, it's how they emulate the way that we do things. All yall know, black folks do everything with a little more flair and style than everybody else. Sure, white folks have been managing prostitutes for centuries, but they ain't really been pimpin'. Lime green gators are a thing of the brothas.

Which brings us to Isaiah's point, white folks have typically run their crime syndicates as business operations. They intend to expand their marketshare as well as their product lines, they don't intend to be content running numbers in a corner of the city, they expand into other ventures. Legal ventures.

A good portion of American businesses, which now operate legally, began either as direct criminal enterprises, or began with money or influence gotten through illegal means. At some point, they switch over to more aboveboard operations, as Isaiah said. Corporations, even the ones operating legally, are comitting crimes too, they just tend to be "victimless" crimes. They're not really victimless, but there's no blood involved, they're harder to trace, the illegality is a little more up in the air, and there's a lot more money involved than petty hustles and rackets, just look at Worldcom. There are some examples of this in operation in the black community. There are several black record labels that started with drug money, but now they stay away from the stuff, and many of them are using good marketing and product position (the ethicality and morality of some of their doings are another question), and approaching the business the way white folks customarily have and expanding their influence to other sectors.
