I wonder what loser came up with the names of these drinks just so he/she can brag the next day about having a "Screaming Orgasm" last night.

Back to the original topic:

 

When arguing that this game is racist I wonder if any of you actually took the time to look at some of the screen shots of the game or just buy into everything the media tells you.

 

Some of the properties that you can buy include "Trailer Trash Court" with white people representing it, "Weinstein's Gold and Platinum", a white Jewish jeweler, "Ling Ling's Massage Parlour", oriental, and "Chico's Bodega", a Mexican joint.

 

So I ask, where is the racism again? It's a fucking parody of the ghetto people! Is it stereotypical? Yes. But it pokes fun at all stereotypes.

 

Also, to those of you who are so pissed off about such a racist game...

 

Have any of you seen the movie "Don't Be A Menace (to South Central while drinking your juice in the 'hood)"? Because I would like to know your thoughts on that movie.

Love that movie -- saw it in theaters, have the video, will get the DVD on day.

 

This is one of my favorite "spoof" flicks, and personally I think it's better than any of the Scary Movies.

 

Oh, wait -- my opinion doesn't count because I'm a racist...

The game is completely racist. It has all pics of black people with big lips, all they are doing is getting high and drinking 40s. They are sex crazed and buying stolen prop. It is just a complete slap in the face to all blacks. You know, not all blacks in the world want to be reminded of the ghetto. Games like this paint blacks as being in the ghetto. And if you try to say it doesn't why does every black person in the game look like a KKK picture of MLK that they show on their websites? And the other races in the game....well, almost all major jewelers in the World are JEWISH. No suprise, the mexican joint is because some hispanics live next to blacks in the "hood", ie: Spanish Harlem. The Oriental massage place. Well no matter where you go in the country the typecast of Asain Americans is that they love to be your servent in said places. The game isn't just poking fun at the ghetto-stereotypes. The game is poking fun at blacks. Three games poking fun at blacks. That is overkill. THe game is a complete racist game. bottomline. It is a joke and anyone who doesn't see the crap involved in it is just as stupid as the makers of this game. And for a major clothing chain to carry it is a bigger slap in the face.

 

And The "Don't be a men...." Well, the movie and all others like it are called blackspoitations. They are funny movies but all they show are ghetto and hood blacks selling drugs and drinking 40s because they are lazy fucks. They are complete sexed crazed and always have that one chick on walfare with the 30 kids who she doesn't know who their daddy is. These movies do more to hurt blacks than helping the few get into hollywood. I rather take 30 movies like the Wood or Sprung over this crap. The end result is the only blacks really getting a shot into movies is if they get drunk or high for most of the money and the good guys steal the money for the druggies(the first two Fridays).

The game isn't just poking fun at the ghetto-stereotypes. The game is poking fun at blacks... THe game is a complete racist game.

So let me get this straight: you're taking offense at a caricature of one ethnic group while simultaneously defending a caricature of another as perfectly justifiable because you believe it reflects reality, and then you're calling everyone else a racist? Gotcha. And obviously, if you poke fun at several stereotypes at once, everything's kosher (sorry) only as long as you don't make fun of blacks. If you do make fun of blacks, you must be a racist, even if you're making fun of Jews, Hispanics, Orientals, and white people at the same time. I'm sorry, but just whom would that leave? An Eskimo tribe or two? Oh, sorry - they're "Inuits" now, aren't they? So the creator of this game must be a member of a secret Inuit society determined to return to the glory days of the mighty Inuit Empire when all the lesser races were crushed under the righteous Inuit heel... the dreaded Inuit society of Cha Walla Look Ba Kappa-Ma. (Everyone's required to wear a fur-lined parka and a beaver mask at the secret Inuit meetings. The meetings only last for about 5 minutes at a time, though, because the sacred Inuit symbol of Cha Walla Look Ba Kappa-Ma is a flaming igloo, and it's too much trouble to build more than two or three to reignite as the first one melts.) What a thrilling discovery! We must all band together to defend ourselves against the emerging Inuit threat, lest we be persecuted by malicious racist Inuits the world over.

 

(I like saying "Inuit.")

 

Anyway, thanks. That was beautiful. I haven't seen hypocrisy on this scale since, well, SpiderPoet's last post. Keep up the good work!

This is what I get for directing BWG to this thread...

 

MX's post gave me a headache. At least Ripper (MIA) made his points against the game clear and concise, even though I stand by my opinions stated earlier in the thread.

The game is completely racist.

And here I thought the point had got home, took a nice bubble bath and fell asleep. When instead it was standing on the lone highway of thoughts, desparately trying to hitch its way towards "No Shit City". But then you rode along in your "Statingtheobvious mobile" and decided to drive it home at 100 mph. Thank you, my good man, for without your kind services, who knows at what time the point would have hit home.

Who doesn't liked drug-fueled theivery and drunk fornicating?

Are you saying that all blacks have known the ghetto-life and this game reminds them of it? OMFGRACISMBAN4LIFEPLZ~!

 

The game isn't just poking fun at the ghetto-stereotypes. The game is poking fun at blacks. Three games poking fun at blacks. That is overkill. THe game is a complete racist game. bottomline.
Could you hammer it in so more, I don't think I got it. Something about blacks, poking and fun. It's fun poking blacks? Blacks like to poke for fun? Funny blacks poking?

 

It is a joke and anyone who doesn't see the crap involved in it is just as stupid as the makers of this game. And for a major clothing chain to carry it is a bigger slap in the face.
Yes, because the Secret World Order of Dominating the World Secretly and Orderly (the true power behind Cha Walla Look Ba Kappa-Ma) wants to promote racial dissent, all while doing it in the latest, hip attire.

Um, no, I am not saying it is "Kosher". It is a fact that the major jewels are Jewish. I am not saying all are but try to get a good diamond ring on Yam Kippor. I am not saying that the whole industry is Jewish, but alot of the major ones are. That is all. I am not saying it is ok to make fun of it. I am stating a fact.

 

And the rest of what you said can easily be stated as this: You are just a fucking moron. You get on someone for thinking a game with a big lipped black guy with a 40 and a gun on the cover is racist is wrong and full of hypocrisy. Yet, it is ok for you to flame a guy who says and follows his religious beliefs while you state your Christian beliefs as well. Ok, makes perfect sense.

Leaving the race issue to one side it has to be said this game is equal parts unfunny and terribly unoriginal. A parody of hip-hop culture hardly passes for cutting edge 'hilarity' in 2003 does it? Maybe for the easily amused who somehow missed out your average decade's worth of popular culture.

Oh this is going to be fun.

 

And "Don't be a Menane" is not blackspoitation -- it's a stupid, funny movie that spoofs a bunch of hood/gang movies (Menace to Society, Juice, Boyz in the Hood, South Central, Dead Presidents, and probably a few more I can't think of right now).

 

I guess this means the Waynes brothers are RACISTS!

Black guy with a 40 and an uzi = Bad

 

White Trailer Trash lady with a shitload of kids = okay

Mexican with sombrero working in convenience store = okay

Chinese girl in Massage parlour giving a BJ = okay

Italians depicted as mafioso = okay

Irish in green costumes and brawling = okay

 

Oh my god! This game is poking so much fun at black people for the way they are depicted. All these other stereotypes truly exist but everyone knows there are no black people that fit this stereotype. This game is creating racist stereotypes out of thin air.

 

As for the controversy surrounding the game pieces...

 

Pimp

Hoe

40 oz

Machine Gun

Marijuana Leaf

Basket Ball

Crack

 

Am I to assume that none of these said game pieces are prevelant in the Ghetto?

 

 

Another question...

 

All the people out there that hate this game because of the stereotypes it depicts, what are your thoughts on Italians portrayed as Mafioso in either TV or movies? Should the Soprano's be shut down because it portrays Italians in a negative light?

The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated.

 

And since I wasn't here to yell at people in this thread...let me say SOMETHING.

 

1st and most importantly, the argument that "Stereotypes had to come from somewhere" is without a doubt the weakest, most pussy ass stance anyone can have and you prove your self to be a fucking moron if you try to use it as your stance.

 

Especially at this site where there have been numerous threads about how black people always scream racism against white people and blah blah blah blah, bitch bitch moan. Yet there isn't a shortage of racist white people in the world. Yet we all have the understanding of how ignorant it would be to say that white people are racist because the stereotype had to come from somewhere. The fact that it exist somewhere in noway condone insulting a entire people to make a cheap buck(which I KNOW half of you would be agreeing with if this was a Jesse Jackson suing somebody because of racism and called all whites racist).

 

As I stated to GREAT lengths in this thread earlier, the fact the game exist, no matter how distasteful it is, isn't really the problem. It is the fact that it is seen as Okay to the point that a major clothing line sees fit to carry it. That is the problem. Hell, there are "Shoot Martin Luther King Jr" Flash animations on the net that are far more insulting, but at least they cater to a niche market and you won't see it unless you are looking for it. But if this game was available at EB.games, then there is a problem, that is the problem with this game.
