Next time you post Bumpy Johnson, let’s stay on Bumpy.
You took the time to tell everyone story except Bumpy’s.
Just fuckin sad and disrespectful to Bumpy.

[OLCtv]

Michael Fanceze claims bumpy didn't go to war with italians 😂😂who's lying about this. Bumpy for a movie and a series telling the story is this way

[VinCent-ilob]

2:11 Harlem is s 770 miles from Charleston not the 250 stated here.

[RyanHunter]

Mob boss, not Mafia boss. If it isn't Cosa Nostra it is the mob not mafia.

[jamesallison]

250 miles from Charleston SC to Harlem NY? Somebody needs to study geography.

[nathanswarthout]

There's no such thing as a black mafia boss. If you're going to do a documentary at least you could do is your homework.

[kincamell]

Heavy

Policy Number/ policy is the modern state lotto

[crabletheking]

Harlem is waaaay more than 250 miles from Charleston im from Charleston try 750 miles and Bumpys mother did not move the whole family she only sent Willie to New York City then Bumpy years later I’m friends with the family!!!

[upsidedown]

Wait, did he say Harlem New York was 250 miles from Charleston, South Carolina?

Let me see that map ole son.

[stevewillis]

Charleston south Carolina to Harlem New York is 756 miles rather than 250

[craigwilliams]

How is Charleston South Carolina 250 miles away from Harlem New York 🧐

[Chellez]

Great story...Bumpy Johnson was an original gangster...I'm from SC and I'm pretty sure that Charleston South Carolina isn't 250 miles from Harlem NY....More like 750 plus miles...

[waynelanham]

You obviously don't😢 know about bumpy, he never toulk on the Italian Mafia he worked with them and fought with some.

[KingSav]

This went from being about Bumpy to Lucky real quick LOL

[rfields]

Pretty crazy how all the biggest baddest black gangsters come from down south TO New York when New York dudes think they are the hardest

[tvern]

No such thing, mafioso came from Italia. If anything they were gangsters.

[DHigable]

Charleston 250 miles from Harlem? Uhh…o.k.

[jameskennedynSoCal]

Why in the world do you think it’s a good idea to put the subtitles in all caps across the center of the screen? It’s very distracting. I can’t see a thing. Very poor decision. I am interested in the subject matter, so I’ll try to get through it, but very dumb move!

[billm]

Bumpy’s story remains untold. You talked about everyone except Bumpy. A prison even got more airtime than Bumpy.

[Kushfilms]

Didn't bumpy work originally for Madam St Clair (before he broke out alone and became a boss) the 1st black female boss who controlled the numbers racket in Harlem and who defied Dutch Shultz when he tried to take over Harlem. 🤔
