fuck that shit, you black people say all whites are the same, here's a fuckin history lesson, look up the underground railroad and then tell me all whit people are the same, you make black people look ignorant, hence (n-word), it is black people like you and anybody that agrees with you look like some ignorant idiots. GO READ A BOOK!
@BlacknesUnforgivable Look at "my" history you say? Seriously? And you expect anyone with half of a brain to take you even remotely seriously as utterly stupid as you just made yourself sound? In order to know what history "I" have, you incompetent moron, you'd have to know what the fck I am. "White" I am not you pretentious illiterate.
American Gangsta in my opinion just shows how black men back in the day help destroy our black communities. Yeah they help out...when it was needed to make them look good. A smoke screen for the future mess. Say what you want, but this dont sit well with me. Have over hundreds of black people, men and women who changed our communities from the east to the west, from the north to the south. Where are their stories or is the only thing we can seem to find is this criminal stuff...like wow really.
YOU GOTTA BE KIDDIN ME thia jit bag poisened people , used violence ,and threats to destroy people and prople act like he is some kind of hero .... waht a crock of bull shit
@ethurst2 It was, furthermore if you watch the movie Cotton Club, Lawrence Fisburn Played Bumby in that movie and made the same quote that he made in Hoodlum, check out the statement. Also the movie Alcatraz the true Story with John Amos was another movie that has a part about Bumpy Johnson. Bumpy was the man. There was a numbers man in Maryland Palmer who, when he couldn't cover his bets called Bumpy for assistance.
niggers are always looking for a god damn hand out. grow the fuck up and quit glorifying violence, drugs, and people that destroy your community. a drug dealer is a "legend"? pull you head and that tacky ass red boa out of your ass.
@atdawnwewagedwar YEA!! niggERS GLORIFY THAT, AND LOOK FOR HANDOUTS! BUT REAL NIGGAZ DO THE HANDING OUT, BITCH!!!! AND SPEAKING OF NIGGERS, THE ORIGINALS WERE WHITE AND THAT NIGGERDLY TRAIT CONTAMINATED THE WHOLE EARTH!!!!!!!!!!!! NOW, WE LIVE AND DIE BIGOETRY AND RACISM!! AND THATS FUCKED UP!!!!!!!!!!!! DAMN HATE MONGERS, GO BACK TO THE CAVES, FUCKIN UNCIVILIZED SAVAGE BEAST DEVILS!!!!!!!!!
@padookieking bumpy ran numbers for madam queen he didn't let the italians take money outta harlem he told lucky luciano in jail that he was gonna run harlem not the mob bumpy had more pull with the mob then some made men basically he was a member he was very respected by the bosses that's why he was the black godfather
bumpy was the black godfather of ny he took harlem from the mob and he took care of the streets that's what gangstas need to do now if you taking money out of a block you gotta put some back in it that's what bumpy did
@MrWARBUCKS24 He was one of the last holdouts who got his start by joing Madame Queens Number Bank but Harlem was pretty much controlled by Dutch Schultz by the time he got out of Sing Sing. Let's not forget that he was away like 15 years in Alcatraz from the mid 40's to the early 60's.
@MrWARBUCKS24 Im sorry but you dont know the true story. My dad grew up with Bumpy. Bumpy, my dad and Frank were best friends. I remember him treating me like a grandson. None of you know everything but what i can tell you is Bumpy was a great guy and My roll model. He was the backbone of Harlem and it crumbled when he passed. He took care of the community. The government takes your tax money but has anyone from the government given you a free turkey? Think about it.
@MrWARBUCKS24 He didn't take Harlem from the Mob. He was fighting them BEFORE they took over Harlem. After the Great Depression, Italians took over Harlem Underworld. Bumpy was paying up to the Mob up until the day he died. Wasn't until after Bumpy's death, that the civil rights spirit and Black nationalistic way of thinking forced many Black Hustlas to take over their own vices and stop making the MOB rich over the Harlem Underworld.
All this talk about how Bumpy "took care" of Harlem.. Was he some Robin Hood or maybe a smart criminal who was buying the loyalty of potential witnesses. Think about it: I buy you a $30 dollar shirt... Down the line you witness me kill somebody... Out of loyalty to me you don't snitch and I avoid 30 years in prison and potential losses of millions of dollars. If you ask me, Bumpy handing out turkeys on Thanksgiving was more about having an insurance policy for HIS SELF, not doing a good deed.
@NYFLAVA2K9 In his line of work wouldn't that be the smart thing to do..Al Capone did the same thing. if you really think about it Corporations do similar things. It's all business and capitol.
@NYFLAVA2K9 - Didn't you hear how his wife spoke about Bumpy saying that Bumpy was a special person. If you were a gangster wouldn't your wife be the best person to speak about your legacy ? All gangsters have a human mind - It's the money that turns them into animals. Don't neglect the possibility of this man being a good man despite the cruelty he inflicted in his lifetime. I'm just saying.
@NYFLAVA2K9 They're all bad people. They killed people and did bad things. Wow you paid niggas rent. wow you fed people. Pay for motherfuckers tuition and college funds.
@onlytymecantell Wow, you are real stupid with that comment. What about Lucky Lucianno, Dutch Schultz, John Gotti & Al Capone, they have done the same thing. But you will give them praise. So please go back to the rock you climbed out of a think before you say something.

Turkeys wasnt the only thing he gave out. When he stole money from his enemies he gave that money to society, the only people he killed was a threat to society so either way he was doing the public a favour. Thing is though he gave society money and food. He also provided civilians with legal work since he had connections. Get to know your facts straight before you criticise somebody.
@NYFLAVA2K9 Yea but some of those people he killed oppressed and dominated black people in NY for years.Not saying killing is cool but for every non violent MLK like movement,theres 10 movements that required violence to get their point across.Not everybody can march and preach. MLK was unique in his talents. Some ppl had to resort to lacing up their boots and doing dirty work
I would like to say one thing, the white establishment has always villified and ostrsized blacks at every turn. Well look at the founding fathers. We must not forget the words of the MASTER, let him among you who is without sin cast the first stone. 'nuff said.
let em celebrate. didnt know celebration woz wicked. wicked men sit behind pc screenz too talkin shit bout this n that. wah the fuck u know bout anything. plum
This is absolutely disgusting. I understand giving a documentary but to celebrate a man who interrupted so many lives, still visible even today. So what he helped this woman buy school clothes in the 5 grade. Maybe it was because her mother was to hooked on drugs.
Well you must be disgusted with the recent John Dillinger movie, ALL the movies made about Al Capone, and other Italian Mafia guys, movies about Jesse James etc
i was trying to learn some things about bumpy johnsons life. does anybody know why they called him bumpy as a nick name? just wondering no offense please. god bless.
The reason why they called him "bumpy" was of the bump on his forehead and what's with the racial thing calling eachother niggers and all that other stuff please grow up America.
Look dont talk negatively about niggers. White people, crackers, wood peckers, whatever term you want to call them to be derogatory or say that they are something different, dont give a damn where money comes from either. Neither do other groups.
Now some people do care where the money comes from but it has nothing to do with race. They just have a moral compass that points the right way.
show some respect..mr.Johnson was a hero to the ppl in harlem. he fed alot of poor folks and gave alot of ppl jobs...! what have u done for the ppl in harlem?
Mayme Hatcher Johnson, a native of North Carolina who spent most of her life in Harlem, died in Philadelphia on Friday, May 1, 2009 of respiratory failure
yea but I have never once called someone a douchebag who didn't attack me first. you are not being truthful you know you insulted me first but like you - I am busy and have to move on now best wishes to you. this was just a little schtick I do.
u ok. This is just a schtick I do u have to admit some of it is pretty funny. Yes - online peeps have different faces then if they were in person social situations dictate how you act and what's acceptable in person is not same as what you can do in secret that is true. If you were educated and knew anything about psychology you would know this is basic human nature - peeps have what are called different "faces" that's the term. like I bet you act diff with girlfriend, friends, mother etc.
I would have only called u douchebag after u said something derogatory 2 me. You say I am an e thug but I have never attacked ANYONE first but only ever in response to being attacked but I guess it's ok when peeps attack me you're ok with that but not ok when I RESPOND so that makes you a liberal hollyweirdo, dummocrap. You know like those peeps who are american haters and put america down saying we invaded vietnam or korea or europe CEPT THEY are fucking clueless as those were wars of defense
what's your bench press pussy? I have 34 inch waist and 54 inch chest. What are your statistics fucker? Are you a midget? Ok bye - guess you're off to get your foodstamps and section 8 voucher. How many illegitimate kids you got fucker?
rocky might have been dumb but he beat apollo creed and mr t. Hey rocky worked for the gangsta mafia fucker so wouldn't you admire him them? rocky had heart

FUCKED UP IDEA OF THE WEEK - GET STONED AND WORK WITH ELECTRICTY brilliant. I nominate you for the DARWIN award. YOu know what that is? Peeps submit peeps for DUMBASS of the year award. One dude gave himself a wine enema and friggin died as the alcohol gets absorbed triple and he died so I think you'll win this year DUMBFUCK!
oh yea the spanish be badd mutha fucka's enslaving and committing genocide on the caribean peeps and selling everyone into slavery and caving peeps heads in wid there swords and horses den dey do de same in america too. why they some evil mutha fucka's - HEY LETS HAVE A PARTY FOR THEM AND PUT IT ON UTUBE just like the peeps done for bumpy!!! RIGHT? I mean Bumpy was small time compared to DA SPANISH CONQUISTADORS so if you admire Bumpy - why wouldn' you admire the spanise MORE?
wait a minute - you were the bitch that said I was a chicken ass shit but then when I said I'd show up down there now you gonna shoot me? why if your'e so tuff why you need da gun? Cowards hide behind guns. Cowards who are weak and pathetic and who can't fight. In this case - you are wise to have a gun if you ever go up against me though. I"ve had 62 street fights and am 24 years old.
well it seems you don't mind dat bumpy kilt peeps so i myself just think it's ok to kill 10 peeps but no more. I really don't know why 10 is acceptable to me but it seems to be acceptable to you that you're ok with murderers like bumpy so enquiring minds want to know - how many peeps would bumpy have to have kilt before you DIDN'T like him?
how many peeps you figure bumpy kilt? who u think was better at killing da peeps? Who's your favorite all time killer? 1. JACK THE RIPPER, 2. HO CHI MINH, 3.TIMOTHY MCVEIGH, 4. OSAMA BIN LADEN, 5. Khadafy, 6. SADDAM HUSSEIN, 7. AL CAPONE, 8. WW2 JAPANESE, 9. NAZI'S, 10. BUMPY?
youse gonna look awful funny wid dat gun sticking out your ass fucker. How you gonna shit when you got da gun sticking out your ass fucker? So are you a drug dealer? how many peeps you kilt? should we had da party for jack da ripper? Surely you admire him too right?
u called me a thug so then I guess dat be a compliment right and that you now look up to me and admire me cause BUMPY was a thug right? But he got dat cute name and had da good stuff so you admire da thugs so thanks for paying me da compliment!!! I liked Bumpy too but my personal limit is da person can kill up to 10 peeps and I don't care but if dey kill more den dat den I stop liking them so I had to stop liking Bumpy cause he kilt way more den 10 right?
all be down there to kick the living shit outta u fucker. It figures - stereotypical fucker wid da gun and doing da blunts. I have no idea why there b the negative stereotypes. I don't know where whitey got dat shit from. You will definitely need a gun but then maybe I have some too? Oh yea you only tough when you got da gun and da other person don't FUCKING COWARD. u like those coward mafia fuckers -probably do all your shooting from the back like a pussy woman?
how many people you figure Bumpy murdered? how many peeps you figure died on his heroin overdoses? 50? 100? what's the limit of peeps he kilt before you get mad at him and start not to like him? 200? 250? after how many peeps get kilt would you no longer like him?
finally a criminal you don't love? roflmao. I'm no fan of Gotti or other piece of shit criminal no good mother f'ers like bumpy = why that no good bumpy kilt lots of peeps. I want to diig that fucker up and kill him all over again like 100 times. and then stick a pool stick in his fucking skull

ROFLMAO what a fucking idiot jmann229's fucked up brain at work: GOOD - throw party for mass murdering drug dealer: BAD- say that its wrong to honor a criminal OMG you are soooo stupid beyond belief DOUCHEBAG. You would piss your pants if you saw me in person I am 6'5" tall weitgh 290 and own a gym lift all day and kickboxer
what the fuck you talking about bitch? What do you mean by "hacking into your shit" bitch? What do you mean by - or who is "lil homie and fuckin mooli"?? what you talking bout fool?
hey how come hey didn't have any of the victims there? they could have dug them up and rolled them in there in a wheel barrow - they were introducing everyone so they should have had some of the victims
omg this is almost hysterically funny except that bumpy killed peeps and sold all those drugs and was all around evil. It's like some weird scene out of twilight zone where up is down and down is up. HEY LET'S CELEBRATE MASS MURDERING DRUG DEALIING PSHCHO!!! YES LET'S HAVE A PARTY in his honor and live it up. !!! omg that is funny yet SICK!!!
why not just hve a party for hitler or pol pot or stalin? how about having a party for jeffrey dahmer? how about a party for jack the ripper? wtf? since when is it ok to have a party honoring a murdering drug dealer? it's like i woke up and must be in hell where the peeps in hell look up to murdering drug dealers
youre a dumb ignorant fuck because bumpy was a hero he helped the neiborhood by paying their bills and putting food on peoples table if he had to kill a couple of people to keep his cause going then so be it
this is exactly why whites are prejudiced against blacks. you are perfect proof. HE WAS A MURDERING NO GOOD FUCKING DRUG DEALING DESPICABLE HUMAN BEING CRIMINAL and took some of his ill gotten gains and then bought people off so you're willing to overlook that he was a murderere and a criminal and associtate with him.??? that is FUCKING SICK cept you blacks are sooooo fucked up you think it's ok but to whites THIS IS WHY WE ARE AFRAID OF BLACKS and don't want to be around you.
Irony. And you fail to address that the whites were a major contributor to the poison that killed many blacks in Harlem. Amazing how whites have lynched, enslaved, corporate crime etc. and like to spin this and blame it on blacks. Your own people are fucking you, recession, false war, banks, lost of homes and you'll continue to blame blacks. Lmao @ fools like you, because it's your white system that wants you to bite into the blame it on minorities,. ;o)
u r clueless. Having a party 4CRIMINAL'S WIFE & having people rave about CRIMINAL, MASS MURDERERS is not same as making movie. When I watch mafia movies I think WHAT SCUMBAGS no good f'ers not WHAT GREAT PEOPLE THEY R LET'S THROW A PARTY. so you're analogy is INACURRATE. Blacks had slavery in africa long before whites ever did in this country. Blacks in africa had slavery in christ's time AND THERE ARE STILL SLAVES IN AFRICA TO THIS VRY DAY. it wa a black that had slavery declared legal in usa
No, you're just slow to comprehend. The movie example was to make a point about truth and how they apply reality in the movies for your dollar. Sopranos is a prime example of fiction that get it's roots from reality. The media, whites etc. glorifying your Ghotti etc. And if you weren't so slow to comprehend my point, you'd also see that I had addressed that neither are right. I just didn't chose to make it a black and white issue like you have. Have fun on this and stressing out.
I didn't blame any of that other stuff on blacks. Show me where I did? I said I think it ODD AND UNUSUAL AND DISGUSTING THAT there would be a party thrown in honor of a criminal. The history of black on black mistreatment and enslavement of your own kind far exceeds the white history of 300 years in america. Blacks sold blacks into slavery and STILL ENSLAVE FELLOW BLACKS to this very day. And it was a black dude that brought the first court case in usa that set precedent to make slavery legal
First starters, you have too much time on your hands on here, you assume a lot. You don't if I'm black, white. The legacy of black slavery exceeds what Bumpy has done, blacks selling blacks is overshadowed by the fact that most weren't sold but kidnap. And last, none of this is relevant. You're babbling again. Get your emotions and shit together. As a matter of fact take a break from this. Btw, the Italian part was just one of many examples of irony and hypocrisy in white America.
this is why whites cross street when c a black coming or why they watch blacks they r shopping. You think MURDER IS OK so whites fear blacks as a race that thinks murder and crime is ok - well then there's a good chance you might off one of us whitey's. the crime statistics show that an extremely high percentage of blacks are criminals so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. ya all hate the cops so I guess you are the CRIME RACE!!!!! DO IT FEEL IT BE IT!!! KILL IT!! there - I made up a motto 4 u
illmatic77retard - uh feel stupid - feel VERY VERY STUPID as your pea brain can't differentiate between HAVING A PARTY FOR A CRIMINAL and criminals. I.e. I don't see any bunch of FOOLS THROWING A PARTY celebrating the mafia but if they did - they would be wrong too. As it is - you are stupid as you can't even understand THAT was the point. duh? it must be hard going through life totally confused and unable to comprehend what the point is. FOOL!!! Congratulations on being stupid.
uh no moron - I wasn't blaming blacks for crime I was blaming them for THROWING A PARTY AND HONORING a criminal and the criminals wife. Congratulations on being stupid soooo stupid you didn't even know that - you confused that - but they are two seperate things so feel stupid - very stupid.
It's a party for the release of a book about Bumpy. Call it glorifying a criminal, but there are many people who would be interested in reading such a book. Anyway Bumpy was a ghetto philantropist that's why he was so admired. If your in need and someone gives you money chances are you're not going to be too concerned how they got the money.
LOL! No shit sherlock. A party for Bumpy - I hardly needed YOU to tell me that. Are you so lacking in brain reasoning power that you don't know the difference between READING a book about a criminal and throwing a party of r a criminal? duh? "ghettoe philanthropist and that's why he's . . . admired" "not too concenrd how they got the money" CONGRATULATIONS you just made MY point. That the black community is soo f'ed up that they honor criminals and think it's ok to think the way u do!
I think someone belongs in the special needs class.
Read the synopsis.
The Official Harlem Launch Party for the book the Harlem Godfather: The Rap on my Husband, Ellsworth "Bumpy" Johnson Hosted by: Mrs. Mayme Hatcher Johnson (Bumpy's 93-year-old widow)
It's a party for Bumpy's widow congratualting her on her book release. Just because it happens to be about her crime lord husband doesn't mean it's glorifying crime, and as far as I know people should have the freedom to read any book.
And you don't think that they never had a party for the above people that you used as a prime examples? Minus Dahlmer and Ripper who is still a mystery.
let me see if I have this straight. Bumpy Johnson was the devil murdering drug dealing piece of human garbage and then all these people show up at a party to congratulate and condone the evilness? I mean = was the devil there? is this like being in hell where all the evil peeps look up to evil? wtf?
Another Irony. Guys like John Ghotti were glorified in the Italian neighborhood. Neither should be, but white America glorify them in the movies etc. Sad, when color equates to who gets glorified and who doesn't knowing that neither should be. Criticize the media and people that make millions on the Italian mob movies and the Italians that do the same in their neighborhood before you start babbling.
some idiots glorified Gotti but many despised him and it was wrong for any that glorified him just like it's wrong to have a party for bumpy and glofiy bumpy you damn moron shit for brains. I mean how stupid are you that I have to tell you these things? what an idiot. uh making a movie does not equate to glorification. It can be a means of exposing what a horrible person someone was fool.
What other opportunities did Bumpy have going for him? Very little, he was black with only a basic education. Discrimination and organised crime go hand in hand. Italian and Irish immigrants faced discrimiantion and created the Mafia while poor southern blacks migrated north into inner cities fleeing the racism of the south to find inner city poverty worse, not being able to be self sustained (rural) crime became a way of survival.
The old think of the lives he ruined through drugs argument. Bumpy Johnson was not a drug lord. He ran the numbers in Harlem on behalf of the Italian mob. He did have involvement of setting up the Heroin trade in Harlem, but running the numbers was always his main Hustle. Besides heroin was still legal when Bumpy was around so when it became illegal it was no different then bootlegging.
There's a movie about Bumpy Johnson called ''Hoodlum''. A classic Gangster film set in 1940's Harlem.
oh that's diff I suppose - he only set it up oh excuse me - that makes i all ok is that what you think? NO IT DOESN'T that's still pretty bad. Uh if you think drinking alchohol and doing heroin amounts to the same THEN YOU ARE WACKED OUT OF YOUR MIND. that's no apple to apple comparison. Heroin is way more insidious and WAY more horrible then alchohol. How many deaths was bumpy responsible for? you are another enabler of a despicable person
It really pisses me off to see people glorifying gangsters and calling them and their loved ones heroes and legends. Their fucking thugs who found a way to suck the life out of the neighborhoods they preyed on. You can dress up a pig but it's still a damn pig.
You guys are using 'Negro' as if it weren't just as bad as the other way of spelling it. Don't give me any bullshit about it being different because it isn't. The man killed people, yeah, but then you've also got those who praise Al Capone and Jesse James.
Ya it's not right for people to use that word wether you are white,black, or whatever. This world would be a much better place if everyone would just relise that their no better than the person next to them.You know don't judge someone for what they have done noone is perfect. And im not saying it's ok to kill people either.Bottom line stop being racist you stupid f*cks.
my point is that for years we were taught that the only gangsters that pushed drugs into our community and controlled our people were white and italians. now we knw better but i like the dancing.
OK so you really are stupid-in business the middle man sells the product to a distributor notice the word sells.Now if you would take your head out of your lower half you might understand some things
riiiight makin my point even more if he buys from sum1 and sells 2 sum1 else woulndnt it make sense 4 you 2 blame everything on the 1 he gets it from and their superiors you know sum1 higher up the pipeline wich will eventually lead 2 or own u.s goverment
wake up i hardly doubt this family have more money then the other true godfather family that are from italy ...they family are still wealthy old money ..u think these wanna be black godfather family have money ....they poorer then a church mouse ...
You are a true idiot. Research the Policy Kings especially the Chicago Policy Kings the had Millions, this is why the Wop Mafia sought to take them over. Read Double Cross by Chuck Giancann brother of Sam Giancana he talks about how rich the Black Policy Kings were.
this some bullshit how she know what bumpy did in the streets when in her other interview she said he left the street shit at the door when e came home
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
YEAH THE BOOK IS HERE.. I AM A LOWLIFE NIGGER WHO WAS FORTUNATE TO MEET A MURDERER WHEN I WAS 9 OR 10 YEARS OLD. BECAUSE I AM A NIGGER I DONT HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO LOOK UP TO THEN GANGSTERS. sick sick sick. disgusting black people
Ur what me n my brothers call weirdos snowflakes who use words that reflect them so clearly lol. Thinkin still like the barbaric ancient white europeans and hide behind online websites and telephone lines. Tell me u probably don't even know why u call us niggers do u? u kno that word wasn't known until tha snowflakes started slavery. SOME white folks r cowards kick u while ur down but affraid when u rise up to they're so called greater level the illusion lol
I spent years knowing this wonderful and beautiful woman. She tells the story unadulterated by the "fuck-the-story-up" media you all are so subjected to... Get real guys, if you really wish to know the story then go to the source. Buy her book and learn as it was by Mr. Johnson's closest companion, not by some bullshit artist who sold his soul to Tinseltown for a couple of buck. Get real guys.....
man this is some bull shit this mutha fucka killed people extorted business the fuckin numbers game and u idiots talk about black history fuck that y black peolple praise wrong so much y we just cant do right martin luther king philip A Randolph these made the way not no fuckin Bumpy Johnson the lesson u can learn from peolple like this is doing things the wrong way doesnt pay off they fuckin priasin this nigga like he god or something he gave alot im sure but he took more an he reaped it back

@ethurst2 It was, furthermore if you watch the movie Cotton Club, Lawrence Fisburn Played Bumby in that movie and made the same quote that he made in Hoodlum, check out the statement. Also the movie Alcatraz the true Story with John Amos was another movie that has a part about Bumpy Johnson. Bumpy was the man. There was a numbers man in Maryland Palmer who, when he couldn't cover his bets called Bumpy for assistance.

@MrWARBUCKS24 He didn't take Harlem from the Mob. He was fighting them BEFORE they took over Harlem. After the Great Depression, Italians took over Harlem Underworld. Bumpy was paying up to the Mob up until the day he died. Wasn't until after Bumpy's death, that the civil rights spirit and Black nationalistic way of thinking forced many Black Hustlas to take over their own vices and stop making the MOB rich over the Harlem Underworld.

All this talk about how Bumpy "took care" of Harlem.. Was he some Robin Hood or maybe a smart criminal who was buying the loyalty of potential witnesses. Think about it: I buy you a $30 dollar shirt... Down the line you witness me kill somebody... Out of loyalty to me you don't snitch and I avoid 30 years in prison and potential losses of millions of dollars. If you ask me, Bumpy handing out turkeys on Thanksgiving was more about having an insurance policy for HIS SELF, not doing a good deed.

Turkeys wasnt the only thing he gave out. When he stole money from his enemies he gave that money to society, the only people he killed was a threat to society so either way he was doing the public a favour. Thing is though he gave society money and food. He also provided civilians with legal work since he had connections. Get to know your facts straight before you criticise somebody.

No, you're just slow to comprehend. The movie example was to make a point about truth and how they apply reality in the movies for your dollar.

I just didn't chose to make it a black and white issue like you have. Have fun on this and stressing out.

I didn't blame any of that other stuff on blacks. Show me where I did? I said I think it ODD AND UNUSUAL AND DISGUSTING THAT there would be a party thrown in honor of a criminal. The history of black on black mistreatment and enslavement of your own kind far exceeds the white history of 300 years in america. Blacks sold blacks into slavery and STILL ENSLAVE FELLOW BLACKS to this very day. And it was a black dude that brought the first court case in usa that set precedent to make slavery legal
Onionsayswhat 2 years ago
First starters, you have too much time on your hands on here, you assume a lot. You don't if I'm black, white. The legacy of black slavery exceeds what Bumpy has done, blacks selling blacks is overshadowed by the fact that most weren't sold but kidnap. And last, none of this is relevant. You're babbling again. Get your emotions and shit together. As a matter of fact take a break from this. Btw, the Italian part was just one of many examples of irony and hypocrisy in white America.

this is why whites cross street when c a black coming or why they watch blacks they r shopping.

It's a party for the release of a book about Bumpy. Call it glorifying a criminal, but there are many people who would be interested in reading such a book.

It's a party for Bumpy's widow congratualting her on her book release. Just because it happens to be about her crime lord husband doesn't mean it's glorifying crime, and as far as I know people should have the freedom to read any book.

some idiots glorified Gotti but many despised him and it was wrong for any that glorified him just like it's wrong to have a party for bumpy and glofiy bumpy you damn moron shit for brains. I mean how stupid are you that I have to tell you these things? what an idiot. uh making a movie does not equate to glorification. It can be a means of exposing what a horrible person someone was fool.

What other opportunities did Bumpy have going for him? Very little, he was black with only a basic education. Discrimination and organised crime go hand in hand. Italian and Irish immigrants faced discrimiantion and created the Mafia while poor southern blacks migrated north into inner cities fleeing the racism of the south to find inner city poverty worse, not being able to be self sustained (rural) crime became a way of survival.

that doesn't justify crime. that doesn't mean that bumbpy had a license to commit crimes. think of all the lives he ruined
Onionsayswhat 2 years ago
The old think of the lives he ruined through drugs argument. Bumpy Johnson was not a drug lord. He ran the numbers in Harlem on behalf of the Italian mob. He did have involvement of setting up the Heroin trade in Harlem, but running the numbers was always his main Hustle. Besides heroin was still legal when Bumpy was around so when it became illegal it was no different then bootlegging.
There's a movie about Bumpy Johnson called ''Hoodlum''. A classic Gangster film set in 1940's Harlem.

oh that's diff I suppose - he only set it up oh excuse me - that makes i all ok is that what you think? NO IT DOESN'T that's still pretty bad. Uh if you think drinking alchohol and doing heroin amounts to the same THEN YOU ARE WACKED OUT OF YOUR MIND. that's no apple to apple comparison. Heroin is way more insidious and WAY more horrible then alchohol. How many deaths was bumpy responsible for? you are another enabler of a despicable person

It really pisses me off to see people glorifying gangsters and calling them and their loved ones heroes and legends. Their fucking thugs who found a way to suck the life out of the neighborhoods they preyed on. You can dress up a pig but it's still a damn pig.

You guys are using 'Negro' as if it weren't just as bad as the other way of spelling it. Don't give me any bullshit about it being different because it isn't. The man killed people, yeah, but then you've also got those who praise Al Capone and Jesse James.

Ya it's not right for people to use that word wether you are white,black, or whatever. This world would be a much better place if everyone would just relise that their no better than the person next to them.You know don't judge someone for what they have done noone is perfect. And im not saying it's ok to kill people either.Bottom line stop being racist you stupid f*cks.

You are a true idiot. Research the Policy Kings especially the Chicago Policy Kings the had Millions, this is why the Wop Mafia sought to take them over. Read Double Cross by Chuck Giancann brother of Sam Giancana he talks about how rich the Black Policy Kings were.

I spent years knowing this wonderful and beautiful woman. She tells the story unadulterated by the "fuck-the-story-up" media you all are so subjected to... Get real guys, if you really wish to know the story then go to the source. Buy her book and learn as it was by Mr. Johnson's closest companion, not by some bullshit artist who sold his soul to Tinseltown for a couple of buck. Get real guys.....
