I should add that my best friends when I was a kid were mostly Italian Americans Marchese, Bonino, and Ascione.

But none of them were Black Hand or anything, just normal folks.

This is how a lot of my friends' parents sounded, especially Mr. Marchese:

What is Black Hand?

It was the name used by the original Italian American mafia. What the movie The Godfather was based on.

My adopted grandfather (I adopted him, lol. An ex-girlfriend's grandfather from Sicily) used to have to deal with them with his textile business.
