  • Oh for christ's sake, give it a rest.

  • Because playing them is not enough, we have to bitch about them daily, too. We had a Gameplay forum, but it got replaced by GameFAQs.

<div style='font: 12pt Modern; text-align: left; '>What I meant was, one primary reason why the human race doesn't just work together in a world where we don't discriminate, is because of thoughts like that. Not because you called them black, but you labeled that game as something a lot of black people would play, as if saying white people wouldn't play it, therefore making a distinction between white and black people. And by making a distinction between white and black people, you have discriminated. Therefore, as long as thoughts, such as "For some reason, I see a lot of black guys playing that game." are in existance, there will be discrimination.</div>

<div style='font: 14pt Agatha, Modern; text-align: left; '>Look at it this way. The fact that they guys at your arcade or whatever who play MK are black is a piece of ~COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY INFORMATION~. By saying that there are some guys at your arcade that play MK, you convey the information required. By adding in the fact that they are black, you turn it into a racial issue. You keep digging yourself into a hole. You want love and peace and equality and shit, but ~you~ are the first one to point out the difference in someone elses skin.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt Modern; text-align: left; '>On the Internet, if you post anything that even MIGHT be a racist comment, most likely you will get ripped for it. I only wish the same thing held true in real life. I can't even count how many times I heard a racist comment or the word "nigger" used in my school last week. For the record, I am not black, it just sickens me that racism is still everywhere you go, although on the Internet it is very much looked down upon. It's time everyone starts practicing what they preach: Not just on the Internet, but everywhere they go.</div>
