Black leaders are outraged over a new board game called "Ghettopoly" that has "playas" acting like pimps and game cards reading, "You got yo whole neighborhood addicted to crack. Collect $50

On his Web site, Chang is unapologetic, and promises that more games — Hoodopoly, Hiphopopoly, Thugopoly and Redneckopoly — are coming soon.

Methinks Chang's gonna be the victim of a crime on one of his boards. Tacky.

Hehheheheh where do I get a copy of Redneckopoly?

I read that in the paper this morning and thought it was hilarious in that appauling way that these things are... There no emoticon (at this board, at least) that expresses it; sort of a queesy hilarity.

But yea. Buy now, 'cause that dude's gonna get sued like nobody's business.

The amount of LOLs I have for this could fill every message board on the net

Taking the piss out of Martin Luther King seems a little off to me, but as long as he does games for most other stereotypes, then I don't care.

Actually it seems that he is taking a rather large interest in the inner city/ghetto/black/etc. stereotype. Of the four other mentioned, the first 3 are in that genre, and the other is about white people, the rednecks.

Do you think there'd be this kind of widespread outrage at Redneckopoly? Juts make a France-opoly, nobody likes the French in America anyway.

I think it's funny in general when people get upset at sterotypes. It's way easier to prove that you don't fit the stereotype, and most of the time you don't have to do it anyway. People have become very accepting recently (at least where I live).

Heheh, this is kinda funny. And like Smi said, is there going to be this kind of outrage at Redneckopoly? No. It's PC to bash rednecks, but not PC to bash the 'hood. I personally would find the Redneckopoly funny, as I find this funny.

*looks at your title* Want to see if you're in it?

Anyway, I could probably go into the whole "double standard" thing, but I'll wait and see if enough others go into it to get a thread split.

HAHA. And I bet the only reason they are pissed (they being some of the inner city blacks) is because it reminds them too much of themselves and what they do. (do note that by "inner city blacks" I do mean the "gangsta" type group, including the whites, Latinos, and Asians who fill the "wigger" positions in those areas as well.)

Fuck, rednecks just wouldn't give a shit.

No, they'd just go shoot the sonsofbitches with their 12 guages while wearing camo jackets and tight jeans with a Confederate flag belt buckle.

Bada-BING!

You realize that if you stuffed one more stereotype in there it would all implode into a black hole large enough to destroy the Solar System?!?

I swear, if they made a Gayopoly or Irishopoly, I would absolutely scream. With laughter.

Seriously, some busybodies have no humor...

Martin Luther King, Jr. was a great man. For this low life to disrespect his legacy like this is fucking disgraceful. I'd love to see the reaction to the redneck edition with someone like...Abraham Limpdick in it.

Blow me. Isn't there something about his family getting his FBI file sealed
away because of some *ahem* interesting material in there?

Exactly.

Reese Witherspoon's brother was recently charged for some sort of sex crime. Think we should hold that against Reese?

So anyway, what dirt do you have on his family?

EDIT: woops! Read your post as dirt on his family, not him. So what's the scoop Shep?

*Throws on camo jacket (which I DO happen to have sitting right behind me

)*

*Grabs 14 carat gold plated Confed. Flag belt buckle out of safe*

*Throws on Wrangler jeans*

*Jumps in his pickup truck named the 'General Jackson' with a CSA Battle Flag painted on top*

*Grabs shotgun from window rack*

*Guns the engine and head's towards RogueIce's house*

"Who you talkin' 'bout, you old sumbitch?!"
