I know videogame isnt the problem here.But it just doesnt help.You asian guy are justify as what in our society?As Kung-Fu grand master 😉 .As technology creator .And our society are trying to put to himself the image of blacks as gangster with guns. NOw just look at the terrorist attack ( i didnt want to come up with the subject but i gotta do it)What is the image do you think the society made of Israelians?I dont have to write an answer.Most people today look at them today and think they are bad.

The thing is that the blacks want to get themself out of the bad image they have in our society and what they are representing in media,videogames,television JUST DOESNT HELP.

50 Cents want to be a hero in a videogame but hes should be a shame of himself.
 
Music.......ruined...... (Havent had decent music in ~15 years since the 80's and early 90's
Movies.......ruined..... (Rarely catch a movie that really graps me anymore)
Videogames....next?!
 
Calling him 50 Cents makes you perhaps the whitest person in the world. Using the terms "a black" and "the blacks" doesn't help either.

You REALLY dont get it.Watch television, videoclip of blacks.What does it represent? Gangsterism,criminality.And teenagers like this image and make guys like 50 Cents,SnopeDog their hero...

And now, this representation is created in videogames.

Your commentary on the fireball with asian is probably one of the most idiotic comment i have ever heard.Seriously.You just dont get it.

why don't you turn on c-span and watch colin powell or something. look, what companies put out there is what people want to buy, they care about the content about as much as your mortgage company cares about you. its all about the dollar and if you want to make a difference, try parenting some kids the right way instead of whining about what companies put out there, you can't stop them.

1. I'm not a fan of his music; I'm just not a social retard.

2. You're not following what I'm saying. Talking like an old white guy isn't helping your "street cred" in this argument. Oh, and cred is short for credibility, Strom.

Only thing i can stop by creating a thread like this is to make LOTS of people think befofre they were about to purchase that game and stop buying it.Its at least 50 people in these forums agreed with my statement and talk to friends about it, which then after those friends talk to some other friends...etc.Then ya i would have been satisfy to have start this thread.

 
See, I don't really think your problem lies w/ the videogames. It lies with the famous people. People are influenced by what they see in hollywood.

I think you should take this case up with 50 cent himself.

All this talk about the "black man's burden" from a non-african american feels to me like a fat male judge on the supreme court arguing about abortion.

I don't get it. I've beaten all the GTA's, I'm an avid fan of Dave Chappelle, I love Chris Rock. And yet when I see a black person I don't immediately feel an aire of superiority.

Read my other reply and maybe, just *maybe* you're understand what I'm getting at.

And your last line seals the deal: you can never, ever, call someone else's statements idiotic.

You're really missing my point. It's not the words, it's the manner of speaking. Now, if you'll excuse me I have to go eat the lunch and watch the television.

Some people do 🙁.But im not here to talk about feelings people have toward BLACK AMERICANS ( its it ok bradruth?? the way i wrote it??? ),but about the way blacks decide to project themself into our society.

If some people are racist, its their choice.But blacks have to do a choice if they want people to continue being racist toward them, or to make a stop at this racist wave.Im not claiming that all blacks are trying to show this bad image of themself( Usher for exemple).The image of Gangster is not just a good thing to do.

Cliff Notes so far:

White male saying that video game with black protagonist shooting people up is bad for society because it puts a negative image on the black community.

BACK TO MORE ACTION!

I other perspectives, James Bond (aka whitey whiterson) shooting up hoards of the Russian soldiers is not bad. They're the Russian afterall!

Somebody needs to take away this guy's soapbox. He sucks at using it.

Dude, I'm right there with you. The only rap tracks I have on my PC are Sir Mixalot's "Baby Got Back" and two (2) tracks by OutKast. The rest of the genre can burn and die as far as I'm concerned.

But seriously, how did you not pick that up from the media?
