That is a extremely misinformed comment First please look up the word racist,secondly slavery some what ended in 1865 when the 13th amendment to the Constitution was ratified by the states I say some some what because of the convict lease system aka debt slavery that didn't end until 1928.Finally I'm black but I don't go around saying the N word nor do I cry about slavery I rarely even see blacks how you put cry about slavery. Just some are outspoken and wish that slavery were mentioned in today's history books and not just apart of black history but as American history be it good or bad...(sigh why do I even try sometimes)

@The Nickle glad to see someones here who doesn't go on baseless stereotypes

"f you dont ever see blacks crying about slavery then I suggest turning on a TV"

There it is the kink in your armor, all you know about black people is what you see on tv. Obviously either you have little to no interaction with black people or you are just too close minded to see that everything you see in the media isn't true.

"paid salaries for slavery"

what the hell are you talking about? The 40 acres and a mule thing? you know not even the slaves got that and no blacks people don't want increased salaries because of slavery >_>

"affirmative action (you know the law where you have to hire people to stupid to do their job just cause they are black)"

Affirmative action was originally attended for white women in the mid 1900's. It was never exclusive to black people thats that thur media liein to ya again I recon -__-

"Oh as as for your bull sh!t about them not teaching about slavery. That funny cause I never took racist history............... oops I mean black history"

hahahaha dude the more I read your comment the funnier it becomes I loled xD "oops I mean black history". Okay come on now seriously US history is mostly white history just because its not called white history or WET or White history month doesn't mean there isn't. White history is year round guy and yes the history books are lacking in depth content of slavery other then a few pages here and there not a lot mention of slaves and their contributions for Americans. Also how many Native Americans do you see on the daily basis?There are in the extreme minority if you haven't notice.Also did you some how forgot or lack knowledge of the fact that the seminole Indians received a million dollar settlement from reparations? Or the fact the Japanese have received reparations for WW II for the property they lost? Or the Jewish for WWII. Yet blacks have received absolutely nothing despite being enslave on american soil for 400-500 years. Maybe that's why you see on tv some black people so called "crying" about slavery?

and since you refuse to inform yourself of what it means to be racist here it is

Racism is a belief system or doctrine which postulates a hierarchy among various human races or ethnic groups. It may be based on an assumption of inherent biological differences between different ethnic groups that purport to determine cultural or individual behavior....

or for the simpler man

racist:based on racial intolerance;

Stereotype: A word that can be a conventional and oversimplified conception, opinion, or image, based on the assumption that there are attributes that members of the other group hold in common

"Actually black people are cry babies"

Prejudice:making a decision before becoming aware of the relevant facts of a case or events

"you know the law where you have to hire people to stupid to do their job just cause they are black"

hmm i'm done man I said what I feel needed to be said this is my last comment to you on this topic.If still doesn't make you at least "think" that you may have been wrong then there no getting it trough you, may just be stuck in your ways. No hard feelings either way mate

jadenkorri - 556 days 15 hours ago

getting upset cause a game depicts a white man killing black zombies in Africa is utterly nonsense... The game wouldn't be wrong if it were white zombies, problem is the game is set in Africa, where the population is mostly African... If the game was based in US and killing black zombies then it would be wrong, but the setting of the game is in Africa, so majority of the zombies should be black... BTW people its possible that black people are not getting upset, for all we know some white guy out their is starting this up, or is concerned how the black community will react... Even if you get upset no matter what color you are, its a game get over it, I have never seen Germany get upset with all the WW2 games.....

The fact that a game company has to go to such lengths as to "please" a minority over a setting that probably has some other meaning to the whole plot of the game is just ridiculous in every way. If you look at this and let it go on it's own accord it could be a very unique game that visualizes a whole new type of fear into the genre, but sadly things like this will ruin the original concept and probably make the game end up going in a different direction then what was intended.

I don't like resident evil games, but i do view this as a smack to the gaming industry. We don't deserve something like this and if anyone really cared so much they've would've AT LEAST take a look back at the previous titles and realize that calling the next game of the series some sort of "ethnic cleansing" hate crime is just stupid. This whole argument is stupid. Games aren't made for racial radicalists, just for people who like to enjoy games and nothing more.

there must be white in there, even if the game is set at ASIA, there must be black and white in there...this is beyond ridiculous

Only if the background is set in America, there will be a diverse enemies i guess....or HAWAII, but then we will have to mix someone looks like a mix so opps, we don't offend the mixes..

Yea im hispanic and did not find resident evil 4 racist at all. I actually liked killing the those zombies I laughed at the remarks such as cojelo which means grab him but nowadays means bone him. This whole resident evil 5 drama is just because a bunch of people decided to once again play the race card.

Light Yagami - 556 days 18 hours ago

I agree. I had no thought of the "zombies" (I forgot how they're called in RE4) as hispanics. I just thought of them as monsters. People should do the same for RE5. Its just a game. Get over it.

That's why they call them special interest groups, because their interests are "special"... Next they'll claim tetris is racist because there aren't any "black" peices. I just hate the fact that they have to spend development time on "adding" more diverse enemys instead of tweaking and other things, but this does show Capcom's integrity and desire to right what may affect some peoples gameplay experience. Bravo Capcom and screw you Jack Thompson and friends.

Well I'm a black 'African' man and I see nothing what so ever is racist about this game. One foolish womans comment about racism in the game shows she has done no research about the game or the series.

Of course you'll have some racist bigots that'll be looking forward to playing this game for obvious reasons but I doubt that It'll encourage racism in general, so to my white brethrens and gamers alike I'd advise you to take this nonsense with a pinch of salt and look forward to getting this game.

Maybe it has nothing to do with African Americans considering there more than likely aren't any in the game. Don't forget that African is not synonymous with Black. Last time I checked Africa was a continent with many different ethnicities inhabiting it. I had an African friend in high school and he was white.

In San Andreas you play a black guy going around killing people mainly white people but that didn't cause any racist comments from white people. Racism probably wasn't even thought about.

RE5 is not racist, you expect to see mainly black people in Africa. Ok in South Africa there are a lot of white people, but the trailer for RE5 didn't look to be anywhere near South Africa and more likely in a small village in Kneya or Ethiopia.

Im not saying its better it personally doesn't matter to me either way but its because of past history with whites killing a large number of blacks.Especially in Africa since people like Mussolini sending those soldiers to Ethiopia or the Dutch when it was setting up the apartheid in the process would slaughter countless Africans.There always the scenario that if it was a black protagonist they'll bring up genocide and black on black crime but lets be honest alot less white (yes white first guy to bring this up was a white author) and black people. Hope that may have cleared up some things this is getting really dumb well dumber btw

kingO that is actually an interesting point. I wonder if the antagonist was an African American would it then be OK?

I really think N'Gai was the first to bring this up and guess what color he is? Race card confirmed. I don't here him blabbering on about all the white/brown people you kill in the Call of Duty series. I mean is there even an African American enemy in it?

All I know is when I'm playing a game it is just like in real life, color doesn't matter. When I curbstomb you or snipe you from across the map white, black, brown, yellow you are going down. =)

King0: If you look at that article you pointed too it says this:

"It's several months from release, and Capcom's survival horror romp, Resident Evil 5 has already stirred controversy. When its teaser trailer debuted last year, the website Black Looks attacked the game for encouraging hatred against Africans. "

so it sounds like "Black Looks" was one of the first to start this.

http://www.blacklooks.org/2...

"Start them young… fearing, hating, and destroying Black people."

Listen I'm a black man and I'm not complaining about this game and I'm sure a lot of blacks who play the RE series wont be complaining either.

This racist allegation was made by one stupid woman who obviously knows nothing about games or the series, so don't worry about what she says because she does not represent me or the many blacks who plays the RE series, just look forward like I am to the game.
