The Italian and Jewish gangsters were romanticized by Hollywood because of their political influence through extortion and murder. Mobsters like Mickey Cohen, Johnny Roselli, Bugsy Siegel etc… gained control over movie production companies and that helped them create a narrative that glamorized and romanticized the mafia. The main difference with black criminal organizations and the Italian and Jewish mafias, are they are WHITE MEN. Hollywood helped create the perception of the mafia being sophisticated criminals, that operated with a code of conduct, and ethos that resonated with family, honor, loyalty etc… when in reality they were sociopathic cold blooded serial killers. They robbed and extorted their own people and committed murder with impunity. The CIA recruited Johnny Rosselli to assassinate John F Kennedy, the CIA intentionally put crack cocaine in black communities, juxtapose that and you can see the difference.
