Sorry I forgot to mention from the beginning of my shpeel that it was my lil brother that I caught playing GTA VC. My bad, I tried to edit it but theres an "error on the page" just to clarify that.
I am a mother of 4 , three grown boys who like toplay video games and a young daughter. Not everything in this world is about racism! My boys like to play the games that have the astion and good graphics. Not because of any violence to a certain race. The more that kind of stuff gets publiced the more it is brought to everyones attention. If people would just leave racism alone it wouldn't be such a big deal. The complainers are the ones keeping it on the front burners! Kids don't learn hatred from games, they learn that from their upbring. People just need to quit calling everything racis and just leave things be and no one would think twice about a game, movie or anything else!
BET perpetuates racism! United ***** College Fund perpetuates racism! NAACP perpetuates racism! That ****** Al Sharpton perpetuates racism
ARE THEY FREAKING KIDDING all the said games have a whole mix of people and races. and it doesn't matter what color or how they talk its a game you plow through whoever gets in your way anyway. why not attack cartoons or movies " The Jetsons" cartoon had no black people in it and show me a black person in bugs bunny. show me a movie that involves drugs and guns that does't have asian or black people as bad guys. it all comes down to stereotypes. im sorry to slap a load of truth in some peeps faces but when i turn on the news or read up in the paper or internet a very high % of the of the murders and crimes are comitted by the same race. so if people don't wanna be stereotyped feel they need to start crying every one is racist they need to stop acting like fools so they don't get stereotyped. PEOPLE ARE NOT BORN RACIST, THEY ARE TAUGHT. if the older gens would get off their high horses and stop living the past the young gens would get along.
porkandbeans2001 on 3/10/2008 10:12 am I did a term paper on the death penalty once and learned that black people make up 12% of the total US population, yet are responsible for 50% OF ALL MURDERS. So to make a video game about a black guys killing each other isn't racism at all - it is an accurate portayal of todays black community. here's a bit of history for you...blacks were sold into slavery by other blacks. Black people were traded by other blacks for molasses so they could make booze! Stop wasting your time and energy making yourself look stupid and go read a book. If anything, the fact that your ancestors of 8 generations ago were sold into slavery is a good thing for you. You all are reaping the benefits! You live in America. If you don't like living here and reaping all of the rewards, why don't you just get a one way ticket back to africa so you can go hungry and die of AIDS or malaria?! I'm so sick of all the *****ing. Grow up idiots --SO TRUE!
ARE YOU KIDDING ? WHAT HAPPENED YEARS AGO WITH ALL THE COWBOYS AND INDIANS ?NO ONE SAID A WORD! NOW IF IT WERE COWBOYS AND " N " WORD EVERYONE WOULD BE UP IN ARMS ! LITTERALY !!!! GET A LIFE, REAL NATIVE AMERICAN !!!
for the guy with all the stats on blacks and how many commit crimes and how many voted for obama....there are two strong candidates..one happens to be black, and f.y.i....everyone doesnt vote...so 87% of the black population hasnt voted or obama would already be president...thats like saying all women are voting for hilary b/c shes a female...get real...the reason minorities SEEEEEM to be committing most of the crime is b/c the criminal justice system is designed in a way that holds the minority back...look at the cocaine vs crack ratio....once was 100 to 1...now its 10 to 1...still racist system b/c minorities are more likely to have crack while wealthy people (most likely white) purchase cocaine...someone caught with 10 grams of cocaine would get the same punishment as someone with 1 gram of crack...thats just one reason why minorities commit "more" crimes....upperclass crimes are rarely reported, while underclass crimes are overly reported...if your want to be a stat rat then know more about what your talking about and stop looking at just numbers b/c numbers are deceiving. and oh yeah,,, i voted by the way........for Hilary Clinton...did i mention im black?....why is there nothing wrong with white people voting for white presidents but there is for black people who vote for black presidents?...stop judging by skin color, its so damn stupid..lets say obama is the better candidate, some racist wont vote him in just b/c hes black, but yet someone wants to argue that its wrong for blacks to vote for him b/c hes black?..and since votes are private...how the hell do you know how many blacks voted for obama? wake up and see past black and white...this race for the presidency isnt about skin color its about who will provide america with the best opportunities
Everything you get in America you have to work for Stop whining and gat a job. As a chld we were very poor ( I am white) My father was a coal miner before unions and did not make any money. People called poor people in the 50's white trash,but that did not stop my father in teaching us how important education was and he could not afford college for 4 children and we all made it with a high school education. We made it where owned our own homes our children went to college the ones who waned to go and they are all doing fine today, so stop your whining and go to work If you look at the real cause of racism is yourselves by wanting everything given to you and if you don't get it you take it Stop living in the past and it will not help you.
Happer camper and barkngdog2, It is a good thing that you can remain anonymous on the web, so your black, hispanic or liberal white wives and asian coworkers can't see what real tools you are. "gubberment" $$$$$ is spent at a higher percentage on low income white families and supplements farmers and their farms. Billions of dollars are spent on whites, blacks and latinos incarcerated. That is not to say that other ethnicities are not represented as well. I bet you both are on the rolls. As for slavery in Africa, so what! There has been slavery EVERYWHERE! Go back even further than when the white man invaded America or whatever it was called before that. In the time B.C there were slaves,duh!!!!!!
