Mr. Frank White...

Frankie Carbone
Don Vito Corleone
Q: What do these movies have in common?
Commonalities other than the Italian mafia theme, Al Pacino, Robert DeNiro and the slew of other Italian actors...
A: Our young black men imitate this crimemob, druglord mentality.
These are their heros.
These are the men they idealize.
They don't understand that unlike the Italian mobs, they are still niggas.
They fail to realize that these are movies and that the "wise guys" get incarcerated or "whacked".
They look at this lifestyle as cool and appealing and this is what they strive to be....
ITALIAN????
Self hate perpetuates, while the lives of other races are imitated...

I can't lie...I've been looking for a Scarface Poster to hang in Hubby's room. Not because we want to be Italian, but because…ummmm….I like Scarface.
I see where you are coming from, but you know my hubby is doing right FINALLY.
So if he wants to make music, play video games, watch violent Mafia movies and play Rapaman, I’m all for it. Hell. It’s keeping him off the streets. So I’m cool!
