Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2003 I have to ask, what's wrong with not getting offended? Just curious. Nothing, I guess. Some people want to be offended and some people don't, you should just be aware of when it's going to happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Just J Report post Posted October 9, 2003 We can't dance? Where you get that from? It is a stand-up comedy "gem" that is in the same ranks as "Women be SHOPPIN", "Guys NEVER ask for directions, do they/we" and "What's the deal with airline food?". "White people have no rhythm" has long been another fall back joke that was probably funny in the mid 80's but comedians just have to let it go now. I know we can't dance, but I was trying to add some humor to the thread. But when I get drunk as heel I think I can dance. Does that count? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ripper 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2003 What about that age old saying, white men can't jump? Yeah, that one came up too. Basically a friend of mine came with me to the barber shop when we were on the way out of town, and the guy that owns the barber shop I go to HATES white people. He is the most racist man I have ever met(despite being half white) but his workers can cut a damn good head so who am I to complain. So we are watching something on television and something about racism comes on, and the guy starts talking to my friend about how white people get away with racism all the time. So my friend starts picking at all the punkass stereotypes that white people have and says its our fault for not being more creative. Even the racist had to laugh at him. "I mean what, you call us honkies and crakers...What the fuck is a honky? And whats wrong with crackers...they are nutricious, delicious and make soup that much more enjoyable. "White people can't jump"...SO!! What the hell we need to jump for? The only one that comes close to hurting is the little dick issue and we got surgeries to fix that, so ya'll just have to come up with something good and then the world can be even."

King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2003 ...if a black dude made this to mock his own race, would it be as big an issue? Hmm, lets see...Will Smith and Chris Roq(sp?) do it all the time...it's nowhere near as big of a deal. And it's obvious, blatantly obvious that the guy's created this not just for humour, but so he'll get massive publicity so people will know about the game. Controversy can be the best form of publicity. He's probably laughing away right now at the fact so many people now know about his game, where as if it was a non-offensive game, he'd get nowhere near the publicity, and nowhere near the sales.

kkktookmybabyaway 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2003 I think my friend Cap put it best, "Its not our fault that black people haven't figured out a way to insult us yet that actually hurts. "White People can't dance" oooooohhhhhh...thats suppose to hurt?" You know, I think you have a point here. I'm trying to think of some offensive white insults, but I can't. Bad tippers? No. Drink Evian? That's not hurtful. Europeans illegally sneaking into the country? Next. Damn. The closest thing I can think of is when someone (I believe it was Chris Rock commenting on the OJ verdict) said he never saw so many depressed white folk since the series finale of M*A*S*H*. Damnit -- funny stereotypes. That's another thing "those people" can do better than us... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest El Satanico Report post Posted October 9, 2003 I'm thinking that Hoodopoly could be the mexican version. Just like with redneck stereotypes, ghetto stereotypes aren't complete lies. They're Overexaggerations, but not complete lies. Of course not all rednecks and ghetto dwellers fall under these stereotypes, but some rednecks and ghetto dwellers do fit the stereotypes. Redneck stereotypes don't address the entire white race. Ghetto stereotypes don't address the entire black race. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2003 It's funny how most of the white people that laugh and would probably buy the game are the same who complain about reverse discrimination. The reason people would protest this game and not a game like Redneckopoly is because there are smart black people. Being a dumbass is pretty much the M.O. of a redneck. Big difference. With all that being said, I'd buy the game because I'm pretty insensitive towards most jokes about anything, and I'm not black, white, or even oriental like the guy who made the game. You mean people like that exist?! Yes, yes we do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slayer 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2003 I don't care if it sells That's not what I interpreted from your words the problem is that this should really be in a niche market if you choose to create something based on racism and not deemed okay to be sold in Malls across america like they are a t-shirt. Except it's not in a niche market, it's in a notable chain, and the only way the game will be dropped is if it doesn't sell (as the complaints seem to fall on deaf ears so far) When something appear acceptable, people assume that it is. When something is this openly readily available, then it will be deemed acceptable. I don't think anyone's mind will be changed just by one stupid little game. The people who will laugh will still laugh and same for the people who will be pissed about it. If someone started selling "Jew ashes....Straight from the Holocaust" as a novelty item by the counter at Wal-mart Can I get some of those? ...and they started selling like porn, it doesn't make it cool. Its still distasteful. And I would be all for it being removed from THERE. I would stand by my same argument that the money will dictate the future of the product This is America and you can make and sell what ever insulting shit you want. Which went back to my point in the first place I'm sure their is a game or two called Whitey Killer out there. It's called the Grand Theft Auto series. But the shit isn't in Happy Meals at McDonalds.

My point is that it shouldn't be there anyway. Racist, tasteless items have their place and large clothing chains isn't one of them. This wouldn't be acceptable for any other group...well...maybe the hispanics because they are equally shitted on. This isn't something to be decided on how many morons buy this shit. It is a issue of common respect for your fellow man. This does make me want to pull up all the "black people always screaming racism" threads to read about how it is SO uncool for blacks to say something about whites and it is reverse racism and how white people don't have rights and shit. Then compare with the people that think this is bloody GENIUS. I'm thinking some of the names will overlap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slayer 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2003 I showed this thread to my friend and he decided to offer his own perspective that I hadn't thought of The game pieces are crack, a basketball, a 40 ounce and other shit "I didn't know other races weren't allowed to smoke crack, drink a 40, and play basketball...perhaps through your assumptions you're being racist saying only black people live in poor neighborhoods I used to basically live in those surroundings and from what I saw there were more Polish people and Spanish people in those areas than blacks. It's named 'Ghetto-opoly', not 'Black-Land' and last I checked there were plenty of white crack smoking, drug-dealing, 40ounce drinking, horrible basketball players also."
