Downhome 0 Report post Posted October 10, 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. I do not agree with, nor do I ever LAUGH at discrimination of any sort, have it be against me or someone of another race, period. Being a flat out racist, where you hate someone and discriminate against someone simply because of the color of their skin and their culture, is wrong in every way possible. Laughing at shit that is meant as nothing more as making fun of outlandish stereotypes however, that's all in good fun and I'd laugh at it no matter what it was talking about. I also do not like, nor laugh, about EVENTS which have happened in the past to hurt anyone such as 9/11 or the Holocaust. It's one thing to laugh at outlandish stereotypes of a race or people, and it's another to have no respect for those affected by horrible acts. Laughing at an outlandish stereotype of a game like this, or saying that all southerns are hicks is cool and ok. Flat out laughing about people getting killed on 9/11 or looking at pictures of the Holocaust, that's simply classless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hogan Made Wrestling 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2003 And let's make Jewopoly too. In this game, you try to collect as much money and property as possible and...

Ripper 0 Report post Posted October 10, 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." His thoughts, not mine, though I agree with him. I'd like to see the responses, though I can't respond with his feelings of course. Well, when every cariciture on the board is black, they words on the game are written in "ebnonics", They put caricutures of Martin Luther King and Malcom X on the game, the logo is a big lipped black guy with a gun and a 40 oz....I'm don't think I am jumping to conclusions to say that this MAYBE...MAYBE trying to insult black people. Just maybe now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kkktookmybabyaway 0 Report post Posted October 11, 2003 I can safely say you insult people of all races and religions and sexes. A equal oppertunity guy if there ever was one. You know, with all the racist/sexist/Xenophobic cracks I make, nothing burns me up more than plain old vanilla white trash. Tonight my better half and I went out for dinner at this place called Hosses, which is basically a better version of Ponderosa. Anyway, this Redneck family of three were seated in the booth across from us. Whenever a meal comes out to you the waitress ALWAYS asks you to cut into your steak to see if it meets your approval. The redneck dad did this -- I know this because I heard his freaking drawl, but then he complained to the manager because it was "all raw in the center." Of course he did this AFTER HE ATE HIS ENTIRE MEAL and demanded a full refund. When I went up to pay for my meal and the manager asked me how my dinner was I began to do my redneck imitation and said, "Except for the rednecks sitting next to me that complained about their meal after finishing it, everything was fine." Of course I couldn't finish this line because my better half smacked me for causing a scene. At least the manager and the cashier lady appreciated it, especially when I said, "anybody that says their meal was so damn terrible but yet waits until they finish it before complaining and demanding a refund should be shot on sight..."

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2003 Hasbro Sues the Maker of Ghettopoly "Hasbro will not tolerate unlawful use of its intellectual property to sell the reprehensible 'Ghettopoly' game," Frank Bifulco, president of Hasbro's US Games said in a statement. It also cites unlawful acts which "have caused and continue to cause irreparable injury to the value and goodwill of the Monopoly real estate trading game trademarks, as well as to Hasbro's business, goodwill and reputation." "Ghettopoly is controversial because it's both fun and real life," Chang says on his website www.ghettopoly.com. "It draws on stereotypes not as a means to degrade, but as a medium to bring people together in laughter," he argues. "If we can't laugh at ourselves and how we each utilise the various stereotypes, then we'll continue to live in blame and bitterness." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you ever came up here you would understand. The native american people I've met in the USA and in southern Canada are much different. And personally, I've spent a lot of time arguing with people that the natives here don't get a fair shake from the government and the community and that they deserve better treatment than they are getting. That doesn't mean I don't find it somewhat amusing when they make a big scene on the street downtown. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well there is this part in the bible that god tells this one people not to go and fuck this other group of people because they are pagans and don't believe in him, so alot of ignorant retards that were probably concieved at the family reunion/orgy try to say this is god saying that different races shouldn't be together.
