sorry i don’t think ill ever get past the blatant racism in the fact that the italian and irish mobs are heavily romanticized and almost idolized while latino/african american mobs and gangs are seen as the scum of the earth who single handedly ruin society. not saying either is good or anything but the absolute polar opposite way that white organized crime vs non-white organized crime is treated by media and white society is fucking nuts to me. just blatant stone cold hypocrisy

and look what it’s done to our communities
and destroyed our families
the gang lifestyle is in mainstream media and seen as universally cool
besides Kendrick Lamar what other rapper is fighting against the romanticism of that life??
not to mention the consistent disrespect of black and brown women
you can wag your finger at tone policing or respectability politics but usually the people who do are not black or profit from these folks
killing each other
come off of it
if you have a problem with what I’m saying
move to those neighborhood — the rent is cheap for a reason
edit: I actually thought of other rappers just now but I think what I mean that hit mainstream success
forgive me it’s 7 in the morning
