"This is beyond making fun, to use the caricature of Dr. King in this regard," Wilson said. "There's no way that game could be taken in any way other than that this man had racist intent in marketing it."

Where's Al Sharpton when you need him?

Post by: Drunky on October 09, 2003, 03:30:56 PM: Why are black leaders upset? Do blacks have a monopoly (sorry for pun) on the ghetto? Don't many asians live in the ghetto along with whites and other minorities? Who is stereotyping whom?

This reminds me of the Southwest flight when two black ladies kept looking for seats located together. There weren't any together. They were the last two people to be seated and only two seats (located seperately from each other). Well, one of the stewardess says "Any, many, miny moe...pick a seat cause we gotta go" over the intercom (a common practice for them).

The two black ladies considered this racists and sued the airline because it resemebled the "any, many, miny, moe...catch a N-word by the toe."

I think some people who claim that things are racists and they are being sterotyped need to look in the mirror sometimes and actually question why they choose to be oversensetive, racists and stereotyping themselves.
