@tbursee 500000 iraqis, millions of vietnamese , millions of indians ,millions of negros ,died -----FOR WHAT AND THEY MAKE FRANK TO BE SUCH A THREAT ????? MMMH!!!
This movie, this whole situation, makes a statement. No matter what profession you choose, or path, whatever, the minority, the black man, will always have to prove themselves in order to be respected. its not just "given" to us. I don't care if your Halle Berry, Frank Lucas, or Rihanna. When you're a minority, you have to be better than "everyone else" to get the common respect freely given to the majority race. In this case, its the italians vs. african americans. no one should b suprised.
"Frank, you must be proud of your father" You must be kiddin' Frank Lucas was not an ordinary businessman, He was a murdering bastard and drug dealer-almost the black antichrist
did he kill people that werent in his line a work innocent people the truth of the matter is ye cant be a fool or a pussy so if some fool wants you dead and or takes whats yours your gonna sit back an do nothing
FRANK LUCAS WENT TO CHURCH EVERY DAY OF HIS LIFE AS A DRUG KINGPIN IN HARLEM IN THE 1970''s HE WOULD WAKE UP WITH HIS MOTHER AND GO TO CHURCH BEFORE HE STARTS HIS DAY SO HOW THE FUCK IS HE AN ANTI CHRIST IN REAL LIFE HE WAS ARRESTING LIVING THE CHURCH AND PUT IN HAND CUFFS OUTSIDE THE CHURCH
WHERE DO YOU GET THE BALLS
TO SAY HE IS AN ANTI CHRIST HES NO WHERE CLOSE HE WENT TO CHURCH AFTER MORNING BEFORE HE STARTED HIS DAY OF CRIME &FUN
OH SO THE AMERICAN GANGSTER FILM IS DRAMATIZED BULLSHIT? BECAUSE I THOUGHT FRANK LUCAS IN REAL LIFE GOT ARRESTED OUT SIDE THE CHURCH IN REAL LIFE THE DOCEMENTRYS I WATCHED ABOUT HIM SAID NOTHIN ABOUT THE SPOT HE GOT LOCKED UP BUT WHAT YOUR SAYIN IS THE TRUTH A GUESS HE GOT ARRESTED ON THE RAID IN REAL LIFE
FRANK LUCAS BEFORE HE STARTED HIS DAY TO DAY LIFE HE WOULD GO TO CHURCH WITH HIS MOTHER EVERY MORNING HOW DO YOU FUCKIN CLAIM HE IS ALMOST THE BLACK ANTICHRIST? WHEN EVERY DAY HE PRAYED AND BUMPY JOHNSONS GRAVE AND PUT FRESH NEW FLOWERS ON IT AND WHEN FRANK LUCAS WAS OUT IN HARLEM,NY WITH THE NICE CARS AND MADE ALL THAT NICE MONEY WITH HEROIN AND HAD THOSE 15.000 DOLLAR SUITS
YOU KNOW HOW NICE FRANK LUCAS WAS HE GAVE BACK TO HIS COMMUNITY GAVE OUT CLOTHES TURKEYS AND FOOD
your all being dumb listen, the la costra nostra strated it all no one else. Anyone trying to do what they did is a bit. oh and yo frank lucas was alive because the italians allowed him to be alive. why? because they were making money off him duhh and yes frank had the cops somewhat on his side the italians were 100% o.k when it came to the cops. Now im just stating facts of what went on dont hate
@Bonato55 YOUR WRONG THE COSA NOSTRA DID NOT START IT ALL THE CAMORRA NEAPOLITIAN MAFIA FROM NAPLES,ITALY WAS AROUND BECAUSE THE SICILIAN MAFIA EVEN GOT STARTED THE SICILIANS ARE AINT SHIT THE NEAPOLITIANS GOT THE HARDEST MOBSTERS AND THE HARDEST CRIMINALS AND THE CAMORRA ACTIVE IN
UNITED KINGDOM THE UNITED STATES CANADA GERMANY ALL OVER EUROPEAN COUNTRIES FUCK SICILY AND THE SICILIANS THE NEAPOLITIAN MAFIA THE CAMORRA BEEN AROUND WAY BEFORE STUPID COSA NOSTRA
AND ALL THE ITALIAN MAFIAS AINT SHIT COMPARED TO THE RUSSIAN MAFIA THE RUSSIAN MAFIA GOT TERRITORY IN Russia, Caucasus, Central Asia, Chechnya, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Moldova, Baltic States, Germany, Georgia (country), Ukraine, United Kingdom, United States, Uzbekistan, Canada, Hungary, Czech Republic, Iran, Israel, Italy, South America, European Union, Balkans, South Africa, Kazakhstan, and more. ITALIANS MOBS GOT ONLY NORTH AMERICA AND LIMITED PARTS OD EUROPE THEY AINT SHIT
EMSING2001 knows this how??? stop being ah fuckin hater!!! Italians let him do this and do that...mothafucka please the italians was being ran by the fuckin police hahaha gettin there shit from the pigs chopped up and shit!! You can't be mad at frank cause he did wat he did man! it's already in the fuckin history books so stop actin like lil and go suck the italian's d**k somemore cause that's all you doin. you mad cause ah black person was successful through drugs!!
If the italians was to fuck with him they would've gotten fucked up, that's why they didn't do shit!!! CAUSE THEY COULDN'T!!! Frank had the "DA WHITE MAN" (Pigs, cops, watever you wanna call em) on the pay roll so if the italians was to even fuckin sneeze on Frank Lucas they'd be fuckin sittin ducks!!
Frank The RAt LUCAS sells drugs and becomes a millionare thats because the Italian Mafia doesnt want to take part in selling drugs! Thats why they left Frank Alone but still they tax his sorry ass from selling drugs thats why he didnt got whacked! because if only the italians care about drugs at that time he wont be alive by now the Italians be taking them territory! his a lucky bastard! His not a gangster he still ask protection from italians!
Franks A real gangster!! not like the "gangsters" we have now. punk ass bitches who where the baggy'est clothes i've ever seen, n will never know how to run a business!! Frank wheres the freshes suits n does not fucking play wen it comes to his money!
idk y but everyone loves him 4 doing something bad. weird....
True. Lucas was a true gangster, unlike all the small fries and ego tripping rappers that think they're gangsters and praise themselves as being one when they're clearly not. A true gangster doesn't go around shouting it to the world. It's just not smart and not good for the business.
why do you watch Game shows ? to see who wins the million dollars! America is money driven
he is only respected becuase he earned 1 million dollars a day!
people want to call him a snitch! WHAT EVER!
you rather do life in prison or be free??
becuase your morals dont mean diddly when you are sitting behind bars! and I bet 99.9% of you guys would snitch if you were looking at LIFE with not possible parol! dont give me that hard street life respect chit
Gangsters in America are romanticized a lot. Not just in Hip Hop culture, but in America, I believe. Take for example the legacy of the Godfather films.
yes but whats the difference between american gangster and the godfather movies and the sopranos. american gangster is based of a real guy killing people and selling drugs.
at least goodfellas ended with a sad message rather than praise
dont agree neither this guy does not know what hes doing or how hes gonna do it: young kids get into to gangsterism cuz they see independant grown ups do what they want to and!!!(most important) they get the girls cuz they independant. add the culture that tells them how to be(bang bang nigga die) . psychology in schools the rest is bogus that wont work.
What the Europeans did to the Indians in North America was definitely gangster...this was your territory, now it MY territory, leave or die...that happens everyday in major cities.
he does have a point. i mean, the whole world society is based on people doing things they actually shoudn't or can't. i do however disagree with his definition of gangster. a gangster isn't someone that's good at everything. a gangster is someone who's good at doing illegal things. a gangster is someone who makes money of illegal things. like nowadays you have the bloods and crips, but the true gangsters, the real one's where the word is based on, were much more organised then bloods or crips.
man this country was built on crime..you cant just throw that shyt out like it never happend..we fuckin murdered the indians just to get this country..all the wars..the slaves...so know your history before you talk shyt bout crime because if it wasnt no crime there would be no america!
I dont think Frank Lucas was a good man, but what he achived as a black man in the 1970's was amazing. Think about the racial tension of the era and then imagine a black man in a primarily Italian 'industry' trying to cut his teeth. Sure he killed people without blinking and hundreds died cause of the purity of his dope but hes had an amazing life. He definately left his mark on the world thats for sure.
Frank Lucas had an excellent sense of entrepreneurship, but in view of the few opportunities offered to a black American man in the 1970's, he used his talents illegally.
Because of Barack Obama, the upcoming young generation knows today, that through education, dedication and honesty, there's hope and opportunities to success in our country. Crime & Greed are not and never were the answer. The present Big Corporations, Big Oil, Big Finance, Big Insurance, Big Drugs are so corrupted today !!
not true, Frank Lucas ratted out on fellow drug dealers and gangsters. Richie Roberts said if he didn't snitch on the people he snitched on, he would still be in jail right now.
yeah he ratted on a few drug dealers. but look at it this way.. he was on top. he was just ratting on small time drug dealers to get out of jail time...the drug dealers he ratted on would have prolly gotten caught or got killed by another drug dealer
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I know a drug dealer that is bigger then all drug lord? I can name him when you ask. and I say he is big and dangerouse and they havent caught him and canot be touch. he got away with more murder then "frank" nicky, john gotti, the italian mob. and any other that you can think of. and I mean all. he has over a trillion dallors. here's the figures $10,000,000,000,0000 no man has that but him.
We should redefine gangsterism? Did it all of a sudden become a good thing? What's there to redefine? FOX just reached new a new low if they interview morons like this one.
Things had to have been changed in the movie for several reason stupid.....do resurch before u make a comment. If u can hear good he repeats "The writters wanted to say this" If he was trying to lie he wouldn't correct everything. Listen more!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
fuckin' america. what i hate about your country is that you're so easely impressed, you treat old mobsters like they are movie stars or something. fuck you america and god bless Italy
Frank Lucas did what he had to, he grew up poor, and without much education. He put money in people's pockets, and gave people jobs...you can call him scum, but look at all the crooked cops that were doing stuff like that too...He tells kids to get an education, he tells peolle that the outcome of drug dealing, being a 'gangster' is never good. He is rermorseful in my eyes, and I think he is a very samrt man.
So you see him as distributing pure heroin to men, women, and children. Killing people like cops, his own men, and civilians. Hmmm...ok I guess he is intelligent and an idol.
You gotta admit, the way he got away with this for as long as he did...no one else can come close. Maybe a few, but the man is smart. Just too bad that the use of his knowledge was used for violence and drugs..
Are you kidding me? This man is a murderer and drug dealer. How can you respect someone like that. This whole world is fuckin twisted. Why are people so naive and blind.
Did he say gangsterism? Stupid. Come on now. Gangsters kill steal, and sell drugs, period. Get real. Be a gangster in school? Wow. Lets redefine every word on the planet so we can get our message across and change behavior.
I wouldn't necessarily say that the gangster mentality is the way to go at all. Money isn't worth killing people that share my features. For every action follows with a purpose. His was to survive in the Streets of Harlem.
Well your experience lacks merit. Unless you have engaged in conversation with over half of United States citizens to deem all of them 'stupid', your comment is invalid. Your most recent comment is also full of irony sir..
I never said nor implied that all Black Americans look up to this guy. And your right all White America do not look up to Hitler. But if you don't look up to him and I don't look up to Hitler, hence the statement does not apply - then so be it. But to those who it does apply to - read and learn. Inability to see past your nose is also a form of ignorance, jordanay.
Wtf are you talkin about blacks dont look up to this guy. Gangsters look up to this guy thats like sayin whites look up to Hitler. Sterotyping another form of ignorance.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
shit you crazy,gangsta dont have color,yall be on italians nuts they aint even gangsta blacks and latinos are the only gangstas left.jews irish,they dont put the work in anymore they old school,this is the real.
Message to Black America - You're keeping yourselves down and for no good reason. Why would you accept this for yourselves after all the civil rights that your leaders have gained for you? Think about it -
The whole fact of this is some kids will be gangsters wheather these MOVIES exist or not wheather it sends a positive message or not some people are just wicked and naturaly bad
man why did you agree to go on Foxx...they live to make black people look stupid, and guess what they did it again, I dont have a problem with anything the brotha said...but just look at those reporters faces and dont tell me you cant see what I see, fuck Fox
you think if Frank Lucas DIDN'T flood Harlem with heroin it would never have happened??, there's "always" someone waiting to step on the gravy train, including, and especially the C.I.A....$80-100BILLION a year from heroin in Afghanistan alone, look at the crack situation in the 80's
He's not evil he just made a bad chose that fucked a lot of peoples lives up...and as far as the whole "Gangsterism" shit that is stupid he's tryin to put a so called positive twist of some real negative shit and I don't think its cool for kids to wanna be a gangster in anyway form or fashion it's bullshit thats just like tryin to turn the "N..." word into somthing postive it wont work.
Is it his fault ppl are addicted to heroin? He isnt forcing drugs in ppls mouth. He was just there making a living on ppls addiction. Its THERE fault for the desire.
Touching on Roulette's poiny, hasn't America lived off the expenses of lives as well? Considering the current war, THUS kids in Asian AND African countries slaving in sweat shop to make our clothing, and how about the diamonds folks in Sierra Leone have died to make for your engagement ring. The gov't is no different than Frank Lucas. That's the true American way, which is why he's TRUELY the American Gangster.
Bravo! I think Frank Jr. handled himself well and gave an insightful view of his father. Had Frank Lucas had the opportunity of a GOOD education, who knows what positive things he could have accomplished. He obviously had an innate business sense.
Sure - he might have invented Just In Time Distribution and made a company bigger than Walmart - right? The guy is a black eye for all Black Americans but many blacks are looking up to this guy like he did more than MLK did or something - guess it's because he handed out turkeys with his heroin.....kind of like a loss leader you'd find at Walmart or something - yeah I guess you are right he was ingenious.
Considering what the mainstream America seems to respect, I think the "black eye for Black Americans" would have been to NOT have a Frank Lucas type. Don't get me wrong, I abhor drugs and the destruction they cause, but this story is at least interesting and at best puts Black people in a light of other than complacent with permanent subservience.
From a Chinese Scholar in Asia! Your American Negroes are very treacherous & very bad for the USA! Give them reparations & deport them & save your country!
From a Chinese in Asia: Polls conducted in the USA & widely reported in all of Asia disturbingly show your Negroes to be by far the most racist,hateful,bigoted of all the groups in the USA! GOD have no mercy on your racist treacherous soul!
Mothafucka ur facts are fake and ur fake..ur not a real Asian so stop sayin that u sound stupid...and I personally hope god doesn't have mercy on ur soul cuz only a devil talks like that and all devils deserve to BURN IN HELL!!!...you rascist rat Bastard..
From a Chinese in Asia who love the USA: Your just another one of millions of treacherous racist Negroes contaminating your country! Most of your Negroes are bad for your USA!
First of all, stop saying "your Negroes." The word "your" is a possessive pronoun and implies that "Negroes" (as you seem to insist upon calling Black people living in America) are under some sort of ownership. If you believe EVERYTHING you read, how simple-minded you must be! Hey, I once read a poll that firmly stated that all Chinese were ignorant pawns of their government. Should I believe this?
From a Chinese Scholar in Asia: southfield Yankee your a Negro and/or Negroid that is what you are! if your ashamed of your race & if you have an inferiority complex please kindly do not blame me in Asia!
Your English is lacking. My objection was not so much with the word "Negroes" as it was with the word "your" which is possessive. I personally have lived long enough to remember when the word "Negro" was in fashion. It has been obsolete for at least 50 years. Perhaps that is how old your information is also.
Man don't even comment to that asswhole he's not even Asian...He's some white person trying to get a bunch of black and asian people on this page to say rascist things about each other....Don't fall into the trap of that devil...Everybody knows black people are the ones who made Amerikkka great study more.....
Hey, I just read a poll that said that all Chinese work in rice fields and are ignorant pawns who believe everything their government tells them. Should I believe this?
Like anyone would be in the situation, Frank was rushed for time. But he tried to make a very good point--whatever your situation, step off of the bullshit and go for what you really can be. Of course, Fox News don't wanna hear that shit.
Well-spoken, intelligent guy. At least he's not just talking the kind of garbage that would lock-down his image as American Gangster Jr. and help him sell records.
yo this cat is intelligent, you don't hear JAY-Z talking about Re-definding gangster or anything positive in the mist of making all this money riding on the Film. Frank Lucas is about to still J's shine this guy is tight jay's fame is about to be only 30 seconds. His album is wack and its not selling and you all know that he LOST IT long time ago. Frank Lucas Got Next
they was tryin to play him on the low .. i dont agree wha frank was doing but in a way the strong will survive i guess u could say was his story and he was strong .. excellent movie amazing story despite the past
Exactly he was strong and he succeded the best way he knew how...but it was so negative devilish shit he was doing...so ther for you see the stat he's in now.
Talk about bull...!This guy is so blind.His Dad was a murdering creep who didn't care about his own people,let alone anyone else.Best he can be??Best what? serial killer?
First learn to write in English OK? Then check out the true history of this man....don't rely on Hollywood's altered version man. HE KILLED MANY EITHER HIMSELF OR BY HIS PEOPLE.HIS DRUGS KILLED COUNTLESS MORE.THAT"S A SERIAL KILLER!
Why does some 12 year old keep screaming in the comments how much he knows about mafia?

Frank Lucas had an excellent sense of entrepreneurship, but in view of the few opportunities offered to a black American man in the 1970's, he used his talents illegally.
Because of Barack Obama, the upcoming young generation knows today, that through education, dedication and honesty, there's hope and opportunities to success in our country. Crime & Greed are not and never were the answer. The present Big Corporations, Big Oil, Big Finance, Big Insurance, Big Drugs are so corrupted today !!

not true, Frank Lucas ratted out on fellow drug dealers and gangsters. Richie Roberts said if he didn't snitch on the people he snitched on, he would still be in jail right now.
reyn116 3 years ago
yeah he ratted on a few drug dealers. but look at it this way.. he was on top. he was just ratting on small time drug dealers to get out of jail time...the drug dealers he ratted on would have prolly gotten caught or got killed by another drug dealer

Frank Lucas did what he had to, he grew up poor, and without much education. He put money in people's pockets, and gave people jobs...you can call him scum, but look at all the crooked cops that were doing stuff like that too...He tells kids to get an education, he tells peolle that the outcome of drug dealing, being a 'gangster' is never good. He is rermorseful in my eyes, and I think he is a very samrt man.

Considering the current war, THUS kids in Asian AND African countries slaving in sweat shop to make our clothing, and how about the diamonds folks in Sierra Leone have died to make for your engagement ring. The gov't is no different than Frank Lucas. That's the true American way, which is why he's TRUELY the American Gangster.

Bravo! I think Frank Jr. handled himself well and gave an insightful view of his father. Had Frank Lucas had the opportunity of a GOOD education, who knows what positive things he could have accomplished. He obviously had an innate business sense.
southfieldmo 4 years ago
Sure - he might have invented Just In Time Distribution and made a company bigger than Walmart - right? The guy is a black eye for all Black Americans but many blacks are looking up to this guy like he did more than MLK did or something - guess it's because he handed out turkeys with his heroin.....kind of like a loss leader you'd find at Walmart or something - yeah I guess you are right he was ingenious.
jbankes2 4 years ago
Considering what the mainstream America seems to respect, I think the "black eye for Black Americans" would have been to NOT have a Frank Lucas type. Don't get me wrong, I abhor drugs and the destruction they cause, but this story is at least interesting and at best puts Black people in a light of other than complacent with permanent subservience.

First of all, stop saying "your Negroes." The word "your" is a possessive pronoun and implies that "Negroes" (as you seem to insist upon calling Black people living in America) are under some sort of ownership. If you believe EVERYTHING you read, how simple-minded you must be! Hey, I once read a poll that firmly stated that all Chinese were ignorant pawns of their government. Should I believe this?

Your English is lacking. My objection was not so much with the word "Negroes" as it was with the word "your" which is possessive. I personally have lived long enough to remember when the word "Negro" was in fashion. It has been obsolete for at least 50 years. Perhaps that is how old your information is also.
