Gangsta is what we American black people started, write, and say. It's written to represent the way we say gangster.
A true gangster/gangsta is a professional criminal. A gang banger is a foot soldier to a true gangsta and in some cases is a student who will learn and some day become a gangsta.
To me its a useless and selfish lifestyle thats addictive like heroin. Many have to die or lose for few to prosper. Children left fatherless, mothers having no choice but to resort to prostitution... Don't get into it or affiliate with it if you haven't. Trust me.
I remember this Puerto RIcan girl I used to deal with. So beautiful... She got into a relationship with a drug dealer and the last time I saw her she was on the Ave begging for money looking like she hadn't combed her hair in yrs.
To say that the word was created on the basis of Italians is a big misconception.
Back in the days of slavery, if three or more black men were seen talking amongst each other they were considered a gang and would be immediately dispersed of. That was actually a law. It was when those few black men revolted and decided to stick together they became gangster's.
And as a matter of fact, when the Italians began their illegal activities in America, they were called and associated as non-whites. Thats why you'll never see an Italian in any real white supremist organization. The media then gave those Italians the names of gangsters.
Blacks in America foolishly chose fake Italian names because the media loves promoting financially successful Italian criminals. Godfather trilogy, Casino, Goodfella's, A Bronx tale, Mobster's, Soprano's, etc.
These poor black kids see/saw rich Italian men getting rich from doing the same things they and their neighborhood idol's do. People also forget about all those black gangster's and mobster's of old. Even from the 1800's. Black Americans have left the idea of taking the names of Italians and have started taking the names of other black gangsters like 50cent and Rick Ross.
Now the same Italian "gangster's" made/make the money and made sure they educated their kids. Those educated children of Italian gangster's became the doctor's and lawyers of today. It's usually those people that are the first ones pointing fingers at blacks with total disregard for how their Italian families became wealthy or well off.
Either way you cut it or slice it, it's all bullsh^t...
sounds like bull to me.
