Jewish gangs

Meyer Lansky wasn't Jewish? See also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_Mafia. Some editing is needed here, I think. Hayford Peirce 00:12, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

The distinction that is trying to be made here is that the Purple Gang was almost entirely Jewish as opposed to members of other gangs one or two of whom (such as Lansky) happened to be Jewish. If my prose isn't making the cut, then take a cut at the prose, Hayford. Russell D. Jones 00:18, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
Hmmmm. I don't know much about the Jewish Mafia, Hayford. I'm just learning this stuff myself. Russell D. Jones 00:20, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
