I hardly think the game is racist. Its not blackopoly. I'm beginning to think the biggest problem with racism is that we can't discuss it at all. People need to lighten up about it to have an open discussion. Racism is fueled by hatred and you can't feed hatred against it, which seems to be the accepted method of attack. Ignorance on the other hand is the silent killer when it comes to racism people mistake this for hate too often. Ignorance can be overcome and I think this gets better with each generation.
People have to stop being terrified of laughter even at the darkest of subjects, sometimes its the best counter to hatred. People need to feel safe having an open dialog about race, especially white people. The biggest mistake they made with Rush was to not let any of the commentators show him how ignorant he was being with his comments. Racism still remains a taboo topic to whites. As long as this keeps happening, ignorance will persist.
