AND YET A TRACE OF THE TRUE SELF EXISTS IN THE FALSE SELF

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

like white people organized crime is cool and sexy and movies and tv shows about it are classics (the godfather, the sopranos) but if black or latino people have organized crime and make music about it then it’s the reason society is collapsing or whatever and it’s glorifying violence. what if everything was equally nuanced
