Why u say that? We hardly know the backstory at this point?Richie's dad is a fukkin rat
I thought his dad was wearing a wire because the cops played a tape of the conversation he had with him in his office. But now that I think about it I think the guy that was working in his office when richie walked in was bugging the room. That's why he said he will come back and left out so quick he was carrying a green tool box

10 mins into the pilot, not writing it off, but this seems like yet another cliche laden romanticizing of the 70's

"It's a known fact that Melato's can't hold their liquor. I'd come home and she'd be SAUce'd
Finestra with that racist fire when he found out that Hannibal got her wet
Did I hear that correctly, that Richie is what old-time racists would call a quadroon?
If so, that like to his wife about Hannibal would seem to indicate that she doesn't know and he's passing as totally white.
I don't think he said "mulatto", I think he was saying Richie's mother side of the family can't hold their liquor. Melato is an Italian surname

I thought he said mulatto too but it's probably Melato
I don't think having a black grandparent in 70s NYC would be much to hide in a world populated by Andy Warhol and the like anyway
Maybe back in the neighborhood but Richie Aprile prolly woulda moved out if he wanted to marry a black woman so badly

I think it would make sense if some of his racism was hidden self-hatred. Plus, when he told his other ex-girlfriend that his wife was more beautiful and she looked like him, maybe it was because his wife was "whiter" and would hide his genes better.

Could be, but Italian, jewish and Irish American people didn't and still don't consider themselves "white" in an American sense.

@ Hannibal almost taking Richie's girl Not only that, Hannibal signed with the rival.

I agree that there is no racial component here and that he said Melato
Any seeds of Richie bring some self hating black man looking to bury his roots look like pure coli talk at this point to be honest
