'Ghettopoly' game causes outrage in black community

[stuckinsomd]

new here but it was meant for nomoney

 

[nomoney]

no im african american and remember when the game first came out and remember think wtf that is so demeaning why would someone come up with such a terrible game. My kids will never play the game and i live in a wonderful safe neighborhood that happens to be majority blk. there are no homless in my neihborhood for tricks or dugs on the street. when he made the came that was the message he was sending. ghetto is a type of neighborhood not a way of life or style of music.

I'm sorry I didn't know that only blacks lived in the "ghetto". It shows a certain frame of mind to believe that a ghettoized board game is only demeaning to blacks. :shrug:

I'm glad there are no homeless or tricks or dugs (I feel bad for them dugs, hopefully there are some bobs of phils though) on your street.....maybe one day in the near future they'll even build a "learn to read and write center"

Is this some type of urban speak that I am not up on yet? Do you know where I can buy a translator?

I am no where near racist (if you are even talking to me; I believe we discussed the quote button). You have no idea my skin color. What I am is prejudiced of stupid people. You may or may not fall into that category....well actually; you do.

yea *uckin' right...get real...I am african american due to the fact that my ancestors were from africa, they were also black foot inidan, and west indian...

What shade of African American. Get real..I am a different shade of white.

so then you would also be bothered if they made a Indianreservationopoly game?

What you are is a freakin' jerk. I have some of the same ancestors, but that doesn't make me an african american...or an irish american. Hell, I'm pushin' it to even call myself a native american. Moron. Be what you are instead of trying to be what you're not.

I find that remark racist. We're Heinz57 americans.

I love when nomo gets on a roll!

Dear, you would be better served to direct your wrath to the black ladies and gentlemen who have created and perpetuated the "ghetto" stereotype. Turn on BET or wait until Al Sharpton comes on CNN to finger your culprits.

Sheila Jackson Lee and Maxine Waters would be a good place to start your letter-writing campaign as well. I've sent them numerous letters letting them know what I think of their racist politics and stereotyping. Maybe they'd listen better if it came from you.
