Get the gay mafia mug.

Get the mafka mug.An organized crime syndicate started in a prison called Duel Vocational institute or DVI. The Group was formed to protect Mexican inmates in the prison system. Respect is gained by brutal killings of those who oppose them as well as commiters of taboo crimes such as molestation and rape. Members may enter by a vote of 3, or by killing an inside member. Many Mafia Overlords originally come from San Diego, Los Angelas, San Ontario, and the Inland Empire.
The groups number one ally is the Italian Mafia. Both groups share identical symbols of a black hand palm print, which is recognizable all over the world. The group also has a working relationship with the Aryan Brotherhood. And many other groups...
The groups number one enemy is the Nuestra Familia or the Nortenos otherwise known as NX4. They both have a shoot on sight relationship with one another. Another rival of the Mexican Mafia is the Black guerilla family leader of the Crips and Bloods, who mimic Nortenos and Surenos with blue and red gang colors.
Mexican Mafia Symbols include:
The Black Hand
Aztec Sun God
Aztec Death God (for high ranking members only)
13
EME
MM
The Mexican Mafias second branch is known as the Surenos or the South Siders who use the symbol 13 the most. The lowest "sponsored" branch is called MS13 or Marasalvatrucha 13.
There are former members who often speak about their experiences and encourage young people to do better in life.

Once you leave this prison don't ever come back. You hear me. Do something with your life, be somebody. I'll never see my family again, not my children, not anybody. Just these bars. All I have in here is the Mexican Mafia and I don't know how long i'll last. I swear if I could start over...well, it doesnt matter now. I cant start over.

Get the mexican mafia mug.Ok, I recommended many definitions for deletion. It seems everybody has thier personal version of mafia's history. I am Sicilian and the study of the Mafias (we prefer plural vs one single mafia) is one of my interests, as a Sicilian and as a student. Also... I'm no member of any "family" you may think of.
The word itself has rather obscure origins, and its history and meaning is totally unrelated with modern concept of mafia.
Modern Mafias have so many different aspects I couldn't say if one is wronger than others. Nowadays the term "Mafia" can be rightly (and sadly) related to almost every socio-political aspect of our lives. We could say the word itself has gained a more general and complex meaning since its migration from Sicily to USA.
As regards the word itself: its origin can be traced back in the centuries. Sure it had something to do with the many invasions Sicily was exposed to. During the ages, Sicily has been invaded by pretty much ALL of the peoples in the Mediterranean Area: Greeks, Romans, Normands (~French), Arabs, Spanish, Italians nowadays. This gave the island's culture an inmense richness, but as a side effect created among Sicilians some sort of silent "brotherhood" against anyone coming from the outside world.
This "brotherhood", meaning protection of the masses from the invasors, lately degenerated into an oppression of the masses. The term mafia, originally indicating (not meaning) a group of people "respected" for being charismatic members of that brotherhood, slightly but inesorably turned into a synonym for organized crime.
My personal idea is that the two different meanings still coexist in Sicilian culture, often originating a confusig and ambiguous mix.
As regards the "international" meaning... well I guess everybody has a very distorted prespective, maybe the best definition is "Those loud mouth Italian criminals talking with gestures like in the class A movie The Godfather"!

Sicilian never say the word "mafia". really, I never heard a Sicilian call it mafia. We use periphrases, I bet you'll never catch it unless you're Sicilian
