Cheap Trick Avenue instead of Boardwalk?

Re: Cheap Trick Avenue instead of Boardwalk?

When I lived in Milwaukee they had the Milwaukee black pages, A phone book with only black bussiness owners in it.......hmmmm try putting out a phone book with only white bussiness owners in it and see what happens. Stores on the northside of Milw. have Black owned and operated painted on them hmmmmmmm try that whitey and see who comes to picket.......hey how about black history month.......there is a black holacuast museum.....<br />Im not racist at all. I could care less about color.One of my very favorite,smart,trustworthy and talented freinds is a black WOMAN. But to scream whoa is me.... all the time because you are a different color,race, creed or whatever gets my goat...... If your rights are being taken, fine I will go to bat for you, but if your whining cuz of something like this your not seeing the big picture. Guess what? I never heard of gettopoly until they made a big deal about it.<br /><br />Oh ya I also know a black lady who used to work right next to me on a job I did that was convinced the white man was tring to keep her down. Now mind you she worked right next to me, made the same money I made and lives 3 blocks from me.......Minorities have learned if they put up a fuss liberal America will give them somthing so to put out the fire , even if its not true.

Very well said Mike!<br /><br />Too much whining is the problem. <br /><br />Shut-up, deal with what you are, and leave the rest of us alone. <br /><br />There is some basis for all sterotyping, remember that.

Oh, but its fine and dandy when the black rappers out there, go and sing about "killing whitie" or "kill the cops" !<br /><br />Thats racism too !<br /><br />Yet, go into any music outlet here in NY, and that's what they have blaring through their 4000 watt sound systems that can be heard for at least a 1/2 mile around.<br /><br />God forbid if a white person was to make a comment about that!<br /><br />Kenny

Quote from Album The Predator "Ice Cube"<br /><br />"Riots ain't nothing but diets for the system. Fighting with the Beast, 'no justice, no peace'. . . Niggas are sick of your white man tricks, with no treating us right. Now it's on, on sight. . . . Farrakhan for president of white America. . . . Put my chrome* to your dome*, watch it bust like a cantaloupe. . . . So who's Ice Cube? I'm a rapper, actor, macker. Got a little problem with the redneck cracker."<br /><br />Now you Rap Lov'n Libs defend that.

Re: Cheap Trick Avenue instead of Boardwalk?

Ok, so what separates us (whites) from them (blacks), then? If you're saying that the black rappers started it, or perpetuate it, then it makes it ok for whites to do the same? I never said that the black rappers aren't racist, too. What I'm saying is that Ghettopoly is racist and demeaning, AND I DON'T LIKE IT, period.

Re: Cheap Trick Avenue instead of Boardwalk?

Hey BrianFD,<br /><br />The point I was trying to make, is that it's alright that the black rappers can make a absorbanant amount of money by being racist, but if a white man trys, he makes the front page of the newspapers as a criminal racist!<br /><br />Whats good for the goose, is good for the gander.<br /><br />Kenny

And I thought this was a post about the band "Cheap Trick"!<br /><br />Kenny

Re: Cheap Trick Avenue instead of Boardwalk?

OK, ok....<br />I give up! Your superior logic and intellect have overpowered me in my futile attempts to change something that's obviously (at least to me) wrong. I shall take my business elsewhere...

Re: Cheap Trick Avenue instead of Boardwalk?

Hey BrianFD,<br /> Debate is good for all of us, dont let it get to you on a personal level. I agree with you anyways. My point was that its on both sides and it sucks period. You bring up good points and I have enjoyed your posts in the past so keep stating your opinion, I for one feel it is valid.

Hello<br /> all I can say is wow. I sit here with a service connected disability that I gathered while engaged in the business of insuring we can all disagree on this forum. no need to get mad and leave. my view is that the game is just that. a game. how many people ever laughed with george clooney or jeff foxworthy? are they racist? i grew up in grand bay AL. my family is from Kitty Hawk NC. I guess I am redneck to most folks cause I can find my shotgun shells in the dark and cant spell 401k. doesnt mean I am any dumber than the next just means I feel some things are more important than others. if you can show me where the game actually causes physical damage then I will back its removal. otherwise dont play it. if enough people dont play it it will fade. the only ones that will profit are the black columists and the game makers.<br /> good luck and keep posting <br />FC2 USN RET

Re: Cheap Trick Avenue instead of Boardwalk?

OH, no---don't get me wrong. I'm not leaving iboats (it would take more than a pack of knuckleheads to do THAT!). I'm just done with this thread.

Re: Cheap Trick Avenue instead of Boardwalk?

brian you say you are thru with this thread but you take the time to post that some are knuckleheads. just because they have a different view then you. Then I guess if you and one of your family sat down to eat and they don't eat what you eat then that makes them a knuckle head.<br />Man you need to sit up and smell the coffee perking before you make a statement like that.<br />BTW he whose first to anger has already lost the argument or fight and man you are angry to call someone that you know nothing about a knucklehead

Re: Cheap Trick Avenue instead of Boardwalk?

---hey Bubba-i suspect brian used knuckleheads as kinda a term of endearment-----

 

[BrianFD]

Re: Cheap Trick Avenue instead of Boardwalk?

Oh, SO SORRY if I bruised your thin-skin. If you feel offended, Bubba, I meant those OTHER knuckleheads, not YOU...

Re: Cheap Trick Avenue instead of Boardwalk?

First off let me preface this by saying I am not a racist but I am against the ACLU and the rainbow coalition. I think if it were a black person who created this then they would instead sing his praises for being creative. So isn't this racist also in the fact that the above statement might be true. They don't want equality they want more.
