Because It Looks Like Fun

So it's the fault of rappers, Bloods and Crips that America is in a state of decline?
Puh-leese!
Americans have glamorised criminals since the invention of newspapers.
How many movies and books have been produced that make Jesse James seem like an American hero?

Do I even need to bring up the influence of John Dillinger, Bugsy, Legs Diamond, Lucky Luciano or Al Capone?

So when Frank Lucas gets the same treatment, it is more of an issue with American culture than it is the glamorization of a Black way of life.

Even Bernie Madoff thought the gangster role looked like fun.

It always does - until you get caught.
