Re: Cheap Trick Avenue instead of Boardwalk?
Hey, I have a sense of humor just like anyone. And I admit that, at first, I thought it was a little humorous. Then I got to thinking, "Hey, how would I feel about it if I was black?"<br />To me, this 'game' only perpetuates the typical stereotype that black women are 'hoes' and black men are p(r)imps and 'gangstas', and ALL blacks are drug dealers & abusers.<br />I choose to believe that all races & creeds need inclusion to make for a diversified world. Diversification allows for including all aspects for everyone to see all sides of problems and including everyone's input for possible solutions. And maybe I AM naive, but I prefer to give credit that all human beings have some good to offer (even ME), if we only choose to look deep enough inside them. Rodney King was correct to question, "Can't we all just get along?"<br />And the answer your question, Bubba, is maybe I WAS dropped on my head when I was little, and maybe I DON'T get out of the house enough. But by you showing your support for racist 'games' like this DOES make you a racist. And the fact that I'm taking a stand against it does not necessarily mean that I consider EVERYTHING as racism, and in fact, I'm not headed for "Syncophantic-ville", as you say.<br />The rest of you might think it's cute & cuddly to jump on this bandwagon, but I think it's only proving your ignorance.<br />I'd like to be proud of belonging to a board that does so much good for the neophyte boater and those of us with perplexing problems, but you guys are sure making it more difficult than it needs to be.
