1947: Bumpy Johnson Was Called a "Street N****r" at a Meeting -- And He Lost Everything !

Описание: 🟢🟢On March 23, 1947, Tony "The Bull" Carelli made the most expensive mistake in mob history. He called Bumpy Johnson a racial slur at a high-level Mafia Commission meeting. Five days later, Tony was dead, and Bumpy controlled the most profitable docks in Brooklyn.

we explore how Bumpy Johnson turned racism into a strategic advantage. While the Italian mob, led by Frank Costello and Meyer Lansky, looked on, Bumpy dismantled the Red Hook empire without starting a full-scale war. This wasn't just a gang war; it was a lesson in psychological warfare, information gathering, and respect.

🟢We dive deep into the 5-day timeline:

🟢The Rao's Restaurant Confrontation: The insult that shocked twelve mob bosses.
🟢The Red Hook Takeover: How Bumpy "liberated" the docks by winning over the longshoremen.
🟢The Financial Hit: The $250,000 warehouse heist that broke Tony Carelli's spirit.
🟢The Smalls Paradise Trap: The final moments of Tony "The Bull."
