(racist to white people to be portraying all of them as KKK).
Give me a break! It is a game! I bet just as many black people think it is hillarious as shit as any other people as well.
Racist? No.
Is it saying all or even most black people are ghetto? No.
Is it saying there are no white people in the ghetto? No.
I fail to see how this is racist. Only humorous. | A Toast!!! That was well said. Katy, yes I think it's wrong but I'm 16 and would absoultely love to play the game and I don't understand why it should stay outta kids hands. Becuase what you're sayin' is that I'm a kid, and frankly I'm not. |

| If it isn't, why would they bring one of the board games that have already been made to their protest?  . |

| I think the creator behind the game had good intentions, it's just people react too soon and don't really see the fun in which the game could be played. Other games are being made to make fun of the whole real life situation, I'm sure it's fine with the creators of Monopoly (if otherwise, dang, they're gonna get sued, yep, with a hefty lawsuit) so they can do whatever.
Sure, it's "degrading" if you're thinking in a naturally offensive point of view. |

| They're just WORDS and PICTURES. Who cares. Care when they start lynching again.

| Hmmm.
As much as I'm sure certain people who this game is stereotyping would be offended, a lot of them would just see it as a bit of a laugh.
I think it's a case of Moral Minorities jumping onto an anti immoral bandwagon again.
If something similar was done in England, Not many would take offence.
Still I do think it should be kept away from the young ones as it could send the wrong message to certain types. |
