Clicky Ok, wtf, how and why the hell would anybody want to do this?? This is so stupid. Ghettopoly?? That guy who made it is a dumbass. It''s amazing how some people are still, so racist... How in the world did he get anyone to market this game in the first place? And another question, who would buy it? This guy (whoever made the game) is a moron...

Why not? I bet it sells enough to make the creator a profit, which is what just about everybody is after.

Whatever, it''s just another thing out there among the million things that tie a small thing to a certain race. So what? How come in the movies black guys are allowed to use that ghetto language and nobody objects, but when they write/illustrate it on a board game, it''s called racism?

I''d buy it and I''m decent.

I think it''s funny, and not nessisarily racist, though even if it is a little racist, so what.

I wouldn''t buy it, mostly because monopoly clones have been done to death. At least I wish they were dead.

I might buy it just because people are being so stupid about it.

Something just came to mind. How many people went to the protests and how much time did they spend there trying to defeat a board game''s existance? How many volunteer hours would that translate to? People who care so much should divert their efforts from hating stupid stuff to helping where it counts. I can think of plenty of things there are to do around the ghettos and such that this game parodies. Clean up litter, Build inexpensive housing and service centers for the poor, etc. etc. etc.

Interesting, but would you be willing to bet that the main people who buy this are going to be those it is "racist" against?

Case in point, someone online is making quite a bit of money selling small figurines of mexicans in stereotypical ware. They were marked as being racist, but it turns out the main market for the figurines is young latinos. Go figure.

People can''t take a joke or a parody anymore.. Anything meant as being non serious is taken to the extreme by people these days.

Same with those shoes called Loaded Weapon.. people got mad about that because of the name.. wtf?

it''s not racist, the board looks like it has pictures that could be considered demonizing steriotypes, which is not good either. Think about it, not every white person washes their face with the same bar of soap they just used to wash their ass.
