Yet this does raise another question. Can today's generation tell when something has crossed the line and become racist or offending? Or do we try to defend it?
Very murky question. However let's assume:
1. Racist or screaming racism is very ugly. Thanks to our parents or grandparents that live through the civil rights era. They have made it socially unacceptable to be openly racist. Which for better or worst have made thing either better or worst. (Yes that's confusing I know.) On the one side we don't get terrorized as much on the streets. (assuming you don't live in LA, NY, and/or congressed areas where you have many different racial groups) But every year less and less BLACKS (as well as other colored groups) don't get into college, get higher income rackets, ect. 2. The race card has been overplayed or misused:
Classic case OJ which exemplifies both. Black dude marries white chick, is beloved by all, white chick cheats on Black guy, thus Black guy kills her and her lover. Someone calls crazy Black guy a ******. White guy is called a racist and the cases against Black goes really goes to s**t there.
Blacks use OJ as payback for all the under solved or unsolved crimes against us from pre-civil rights era. Cause yeah how many white folks get away with killing a Black person? Thus freeing OJ (who we all know DID do that crime) Later on OJ gets caught for stealing and will probably spend the rest of his life in jail anyway. YAY for Black Power.
Point is: Sometimes our so-called Black causes are misused or not that well thought out.
Now as per this game: Well if the company was funded by Blacks and was publish by Def Jamz there wouldn't be a real problem now would it? However instead of zombie Africans we would have zombie Rappers (which for the record I would find more appealing). However that's beside the point.
But because the game was basically designed by white people it has to be racist. Since the lead character is in fact a white guy shooting black or African zombies.
Never mind this white guy is trying to fix the s**t or the fact that in all out games it's been white on white killing. So the question then is would it been less of a s**t-storm if the lead characters were Black and VO by people like Samuel L. Jackson and Lit' Kim?
I feel as a generation we are unable to clearly understand what is and isn't racist and we do tend to either misuse and overuse the term.
Besides even if this game is racist at least it gives retarded racist ******** a chance to vent our their anger safely. I rather Klan member vents on a video game than irl. Don't you?
