Could someone please post the full list of all the hustle/ghetto cards (or whatever they are called), including all the businesses that appear on the board in Ghettopoly on this website?

Many thanks.

Yo, I am a forty something white boy, I grew up in a place that this game reminds me of, I think it is funny. The things in this game were part of my everyday life. Why should anyone find it offensive. Besides many of the characters in the game aren't even black. No one would be offended if this game wasn't based in reality. G

Does anybody have a FULL list of all the hustle/ghetto cards in Ghettpoly? Can they post them?

Thanks.

This game doesn't make fun of any specific race! There are all kinds and colours of people featured in the game. White kids and black kids around the world watch those pathetic hiphop videos, and have invented the 'ghetto culture'. It is this phenomenon that is being exploited. And why shouldn't this guy exploit such a thing? Everybody else does! There isn't a kid of any colour in the world that would think twice about accepting a record deal to make yet more ridiculous rap albums. They wouldn't give a monkeys about drawing on sterotypes, just as existing rappers, record labels, actors and film studios don't. I don't see the problem. If people find this offensive, they shouldn't buy it. Why do these people takes such offense at other people enjoying things they dislike?

Below is piece I wrote called Ghettopolist regarding Ghettopoly. Enjoy!! -sd

==========================================

GHETTOPOLIST

Another day...another hustle...they say. Keep it real. I'm keepin it

about as real as Lil'Kim's boobs.

The pallor of normalcy has set in its icy grip and death has leaned its

crooked grinning face on my shadow. The bell tolls...and I walk the

sidewalks holding my pants up from falling to my ankles.

How in the hell can a man enjoy being awakened at 6:30 a.m. by an alarm

clock, leap out of bed, dress, force-feed, shit, piss, brush teeth and

hair, and fight upstream against heavy traffic to get to a place where

essentially you make lots of money for somebody else and are asked to be

grateful for the opportunity to do so?

I am grown and still haven't found a "real job." At least not one that

ignites the fire in my belly or the joy in my eyes and gives me something

to look forward to, to lay claim to.

The only "real job" I've found that makes me money and makes me happy is

playing my "Ghettopoly" boardgame (check Ghettopoly.com). It has "playas" acting like pimps and game cards reading, "You got yo whole neighborhood addicted to crack. Collect $50." But I have no one to play with. No kids in my hood, want to get down with me. So I play myself.

Marketed to white college boys desperate to mask their privileged, phobic

suburbanite upbringing with a little 'street cred', it stirred maad

contraversy last year because it demeaned Negroes. But so what? I'm a colud and I like it...just like I like how Negroes demean and caricaturize themselves on BET rap videos 24/7. A Chinaman being the creator of the

boardgame makes no difference. It's an investment that will be worth

thousands by the time it's passed onto my great-grandson. It will be a

collector's item.

I only wish life was as easy as Ghettopoly. Roll dice. Maybe land on

Ling Ling's Massage Parlor where I can get a free blow job...that would be

nice...or maybe land on Ray Ray's Chicken and Ribs...that would be nice

too. I'm hungry.

love and nuts,

frug4lyfe,

The comment: I wouldn't go as far as saying this falls under the category of "great ideas" but it definitely was a clever one. Lets see...take one of the most recognized American board games, change the name somewhat, slap a license on it, put it on your web site, market it to the generation X'ers, then make a few million. Hell, I’ll buy one for $39.95! As for the people who don't like it, I say, "when was bad taste a crime in the country".

The fix: Slap a Parental Advisory sticker on the cover and shut the hell up!

First I would like to say that after reading over the comments I find it interesting that people blame society for the way black people choose to live their lives. The problem with this country is that people point the finger at everyone else and no one takes responsibility for their own actions. I live in the south and in the south white people are discriminated against, if not more than blacks. No one has the right to judge, that's God's job, stop playing Jesus and get on with your lives. If you spent as much time on your education as you did this stupid board game you wouldn't be wasting your time reading this goddamn message and may'be your could get your black ass out of the ghetto. Damn, black people can be prejudice but white's cannot. I have been discriminated against numerous times because I'm white so don't sit there and act like slavery still exists, get over it!!!!

Everyone is upset about the stereotypes of blacks in ghettopoly, how about the property pieces that says "Ling Ling's Massage Parlour"? or "Chico's Bodega"? or "Trailer Trash Court"? The maker David Chang, says himself that he did not target this game solely to black stereotypes. In fact there are stereotypes for all people on the board properties, but the media never mentions that.3

There are positive and negative stereotypes for every ethnicity. People need to educate themselves enough to know that stereotypes don't apply to everyone.

So to everyone that is protesting to try to stop stereotypes, I don't see any protests to stop the stereotype that "Black Men have big d**ks." I would like to see the NAACP protest that stereotype!

This isn't to justify who is the more stereotyped race, but to say, pick and choose your battles. The game is not any worse then the movie Friday but become someone non-black made it, it's now the most racist game out there. Give me a break.

Who cares that there's Blacks on there! They're commin out with "PIMP Juice" pretty soon. We should SUE Nelly for that. How come nobody is suing Vanilla Coke or Pepsi?? Isn't that Putting down the White RACe?? Or is it okay that everytime on t.v. we can watch Blacks make fun of how STUPID White people. Asians should sue the fuck out of Blacks for stealing their Asian martial arts and make it into a Stupid comedy In their MTV music videos. That creates stereotypes too!!

I AGREE WITH NIVED AND JIMME JOE! IM A MINORITY BUT I DONT TAKE IT OFFENSIVE..YOU KNOW WHY! BECAUSE IT DOESNT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH ME OR MY FAMILY! IF IT DONT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOU...LEAVE IT THE HELL ALONE! AND IF IT DOES...THEN OBVIOSLY YOUR DOING IT FOR A REASON...SO IT STILL SHOULDNT BOTHER YOU! ITS A GAME WTF! IF YOU DONT LIKE IT THEN DONT BUY IT! NOBODY'S TWISTING YOUR ARM TO GO OUT AND PLAY IT! IT PISSES ME OFF THAT PEOPLE LIKE YOU CAUSE SO MUCH COMOTION ABOUT A LITTLE BOARD GAME...WHY DONT YOU SPEND YUR TIME BOYCOTTING BIGGER THINGS LIKE EATING ANIMALS OR SOMETHING I DONT CARE!

KIANDRA KNOX...... if you did your research, then you would know that David Chang is the creator of the game and he is Taiwanese man. He is not a cracker, and someone should take you to school so you can learn to spell. (TOOKEN, SOMEINE)... wtf is that?

I think the game is harmless and it's a really creative, unique game. I understand why someone might perceive the game to be sterotypical, but watch BET and see if they really act/live like the sterotypical African-American. I think those who support Ghettopoly should purchase the game so he can have people backing him up by his sales report. You can buy the game at http://www.ghettopoly.com.

I THINK THAT THIS KNEW GAME WAS CREATED BY SOME CRACKER TRYING TO SAY THATTHE ONLY WAY FOR BLACK PEOPLE TO COME UP IS BY SELLING DRUGS.WHY WOULD SOMEINE MAKE A GAME OUT OF THAT.WHO EVER THE PERSON IS WHO MADE THIS GAME SHOULD BE TOOKEN TO THE "GHETTO" AND TAUGHT A LESSON

i think dis game is stpd, im not rasis, cuz i hav a fren hoos blak, but i jus think that da game is stpd, 1st of al, it shoodnt hav crak, mariwana, guns, an shit lik that. its jus plain dum. an ta al u pple hoo sad that othrs shood boycot mtv,etc., thay shoodnt, cuz then, it wood b lik takin tha blaks rits awy from havin ther own stashons, im in 7th grd, an i think i undrstand evrthing an old enof 2 say sompin bout dis. i hate pple hoo r rasis, cuz tha pple rnt difrnt, i bilev that pple r alowd 2 bilev in wuteva thay wana bilev in, an colrs r jus colrs, not RELeY them. ma nana i reley rasis. an i jus hate it wen she talks bout it. it jus sikns me. wel, GETTO go, ne1 hoo ha prblms wit ma mesge, mail me!

ps,

i watch da mtv, bet, etc. shows, so shut up ya foo!

I have 3 words for you. GET OVER IT!!! If you have so much time to spend protesting use that energy and walk for cancer or something. I find it amusing that you can't buy this game on e-bay, but colored vibrators? (I'm sorry, back massagers.) HEY, No problem there.

Pick your fights people. Racism is older than politics.

Well this is only a game and being that there are a few more comming out soon, Hoodopoly, Hiphopopoly, Thugopoly, and yes Redneckopoly, this is not a means to pick on any one group of people.

Also I think one of the main problems with Americans today is the simple fact that they need to stereotype themselfs into some kind of group. If you live in the USA you are American plan and simple, there is no way to get over the race issue until all people can understand that.

What i mean by this is if you were born in this country then you are just AMERICAN not Polish-American, African-American, German-American, Italian-American, Chinese-American, Mexican-American, or like the guy down the street from me Canadain-American, get real he was bron in Canada and moved to the US when he was 10 so if you ask me he is Canadain yes he may live in America now but he was born in Canada.

This country will always sterotype people if they keep the system the way it is now. Sure it might be nice to beable to trace your roots back a few hundred years, but for the most part once you put a lable on yourself you are type cast to that lable and i disagree with that.

How many people in the this country call themselfs African-American and yet they were not born there and most likely will never get there in there whole like. Yet one thing most people forget is that there are white people in African too.

I have a good friend of mine who i have known for over 10 years thats from South African and he came to this country when he was around 20 to go to college. Around his 2nd year here he met a girl that was in school with him they fell in love and they married and now have 3 kids. Now for as long as i have known him he always said he was African-American and when it comes to paper work that keeps records of theses things he always checks that box African-American.

Only problem is that he is white so people look at this as a problem or that he is looking for something he would not get had he put down he was white or caucasian, and thats not the case because he is being trueful.

Some 20 years ago when i was in the Army they sent me to this country in Europe call Germany and i found it funny at the time that they had a sterotype for people over there too, but it was not a black and white issue as it can be over here in the US. Now over there at that time most of the Germans had a problem with the Turks, yes they would be the people that come from Turkey, in the 3 years i spent over there i lost count how many times i was told by friends of mine that were German to watch out for the Turks because they all carry KNIFES.

This was so un-true and to top it off not once in the 3 years did i see or hear someone being stabbed by Turks in the German news, oh and i did watch that though there TV sucked back then.

What i find sad is the fact that today there are people in America that think if you are African-American or Latino American and from the hood, block or ghetto your packing a 9mm and your ready to pop a few caps in the body of the first person that looks at them wrong.

This country really needs to grow up as well with most of the people in it, i recall when i was younger that America was called the melting pot of the world, but for some reason some colors or people dont want to melt, and until they forget about the past there cant be a future. Also i plan on getting the game and some of the ones that come out later.

I would like to get a copy of this game. Is there any out there? How can I get one? I would like to have some fun!
