Henry and others are outside Idlewild Airport in 1963, and overhead a Boeing 747 is landing/taking off. 747s had their first test flights in 1969, entering service in 1970.
Throw who off? People were sitting down eating at a diner. They were sitting down just eating, not watching truck traffic near the airport. I grew up on the Brooklyn/Queens border line. Ozone Park and CityLine.
to throw "everyone" off. he pretends two black guys did it, puts on a whole scene about his truck being stolen, so then when the police call the diner later to corroborate the story, the seed has been planted.
Trust me, I grew up in this neighborhood, it's not only convenient to blame blacks but there were alot of racial tewnsions in the city back them and still are to this day.
Get a grip. Please. The guy meant black people. Yes Italians were looked down on and the reason for calling them guineas was because when we were building the Panama canal the Itailians were scab laborers that were payed 1 guinea a day.
He wasn't blaming it on black people. Nigger was often used towards Italians because they weren't thought of being 100% white by other caucasians. much like the way they call them guineas.
are you sure? i always thought he meant black people because i figured the trucker was "in on it". it would make sense that way because he would be trying to mislead the police when reporting the theft so the gangsters could get away.

the guy says two niggers stole his truck because he has been paid off, he is giving false information. Its pretty simple to understand.

The driver was in on it. Haven't you heard of white people always thinking black people are criminals. Especially during that generation.
