    One correction Dutch Schultz was not a "associate" of the Mafia 5 families, he ran his own family and was considered as the 6th family of New York and after Bumpy defeated Dutch he was given the Dutchman's seat at the table. Therefore Bumpy was the only black male at the seat of power in new york underworld during the time of Lucky Luciano. It was 5 families of new york the media would proclaim, but in essence it was 6. Bumpy was the 6.

      Bumpy never sat on the commission. He didn't even get a proxy vote like Philly or Cleveland. He was basically put in place because they needed someone who would take orders and he took orders. 6th family my butt. He wasn't even the boss of a glorified crew. He took heroin from the Genovese family to sell to his own people. He was a joke. No matter what a TV show would have you believe. if they wanted to put someone else in, they would have and no one could have done anything about it.

      @@eastonriley2754 no non Italian has ever had a seat on the commission. I don't know where you heard that crap but it's 100% untrue. The only "6th family" that had anywhere near as much power as the New York 5 was the Outfit out of Chicago. Still Italian though. Now there were other families on the commission but they weren't as powerful. There was the Megaddino family from Buffalo, the Decavalcante family from Jersey, the Bruno family from Philadelphia, the Marcello family from New Orleans, what was known as the Detroit partnership, the Scalish family from Cleveland, the Civello family from Dallas, the Patriarchs family from New England, the "clique" from Kansas City, and the Trafficante family from Tampa . Some people count LA but none of them had a commission seat. The thing is that all of those families were really affiliated with one of the new York 5 who had their votes by proxy. Like the Gambino family had Philadelphia's proxy. The Genovese had Cleveland's which really just made them like colonies of those families. Also, look at those names. All Italian. Not even Mayer Lansky had a commission seat. Let alone Bumpy Johnson

    Bumpy and Lucky became close after bumpy saved Lucky from getting shanked in Dannemora Prison. They would play chess at least once a week. I wouldn’t say they were close friends but both men respected each other .When Bumpy came home Lucky who was already exiled back to Italy told the families that Bumpy could operate independently without kicking anything up to the Mob and they should give him anything he needed. Bumpy was never a partner with the Mob he was an independent Operator . Anything that came through Harlem was ran by him first, thats how much Power he had as a Black man back then. He wasn’t a worker, he was a Boss. All the movies and films try to down play who Bumpy really was but if you do real research on him and even read the book that was written by his Wife you will find out the real truth on Mr Bumpy Johnson, A true Legend!!

      Bumpy would have been an example of an "EVP" executive vice president of Harlem, but still Lucky "the Italians" were in charge, and had the ultimate say. Bumpy was an independent as long as he kept the Harlem policy banks running smoothy, and they paid their street taxes.

    Also in prison bumpy had a reputation for whipping ass and in prison he actually met Lucky Luciano who was doing a bid for a drug bust back in the 1920's and he met and knew of Bumpy
    Johnson, and eventually their paths crossed again. Lucky knew that bumpy was vicious and loyal thats why he backed him into becoming the 6 chair in the 5 families of New York, its actually 6 families of New York

    From David A. Wood: Though New York City-based gangster Ellsworth "Bumpy" Johnston was, deservedly speaking, of high criminal importance in his sprawling Harlem neighborhood of Upper Manhattan between the late 1930s-late1960s as Johnson went well out of his way to "keep things in the neighborhood peaceful" when he was Harlem's leading, ethnically Black Ameeican gangster during his heady period of Organized Criminal activity between the late 1930s-late 1960s, yet at best Johnson was an American Mafia associate, albeit one that was of high rank, of the leading American Mafia Family that had been originally led by Charles "Lucky" Luciano (1897-1962). Now that major American Mafia Family is named the Genovese Family, after one of Luciano's successors, Vito "Don Vitone" Genovese (1897-1969). Please do pardon me for not having mentioned Johnson's age chronologically as I had Luciano and Genovese's respective ages. I forgot when "Bumpy" Johnson was born, even though I knew that Johnson died of a heart attack in Harlem in 1968. Nuff Said and Peace Out from Kettering, Ohio, everybody. ☮️ 🇺🇸 😃👋✌️👍

      However nicely worded your diatribe is, and is correct at times, in fact mostly. But it's laughable to assert that, especially in those times, a Negro could be an associate of the Mafia! They were in fact in competition and not on very amicable terms mostly. More laughable still is the AI narration that pronounces Bub, as in Bub Hewlett, several ways but not once correctly!

    Please. I have a very, very tough time following both the images and the odd narration for this video.
    First, the faces keep changing... and then sometimes at a blistering pace. Then one minute it is "Bob"... the next it is "Bab." And this kind of thing happens with other names and images. Why not get a real human voice and a script using accurate terminology?
    And nobody in the USA EVER referred to the numbers racket as a "lottery"...OMG! It was simply known as "the numbers"... period. Yessss. it worked similar to what is known today as a "lottery" or "lotto" but the numbers racket was never known as such. Furthermore, the name of the woman who ran the numbers racket jumps from one spelling and pronunciation to another... and her story is somewhat in error.
    Furthermore, the images of cars show totally or partially morphed designs that never were. One wonders why so much effort was made to create such fictional never-weres when the originals would have been far better (and more historically realistic) to view. Why?
