What is it about CoD games... as a matter of fact, online games that brings out the racist in SO many people?! You get to the lobby, usually after wiping someone out in the previous game, and all you get is "...coon this" and "...monkey that", WTF is up with that?! You're clearly upset by my superior skill, but, come on now!!
To call someone a "...white so-and-so" doesn't even seem like a credible diss to me! Get creative with the abuse people, leave out the racism!!!
They're sitting in a room alone 100s if not 1000s of miles away from the person they're calling out. They have no shame and no that nothing will ever be done about it
You're right... hundreds, if not thousands of miles away somewhere in the safety of their room where they can't be 'touched'!
I am black, with the majority of white friends. I have been hearing this since the start of Halo. They don't know any better. And being black will always be seen as being a negative, so of course it will be used as an insult.
As a negative to who though?! Not to me, cause, I am what I am! It just makes the person who comes out with it seem like an imbecile.
A negative race to the world. Of course not to everyone. Blacks have a bad rap though. After being in the military and travelling the world I have come to thisconclusion. Military is very segregated. Blacks and whites do hang out but there are very noticable black groups and white groups. I remember girls of different races telling me to my face, "You are cute, but I wont date you because you are black." I do have to said the west side of of america are more tolerants to blacks, than the midwest and south, and most of the states on the east coast. In elementary school, playing sports during lunch, it was split blacks vs whites intentionally (by students, not by teachers).
But blacks also, have a similiar negative view of whites.
These are my opinions based on my experiences. Not trying to start an argument. Not everyone is like this. And many vary by degrees.
I hear you. It's just a bit ridiculous, that's all! I mean, the leader of the most powerful nation is of mixed race - which just goes to show that people are people. Those with racial issues really need to get over whatever complex it is that they have.
Our president is light skinned and very articulate <---(just different choice of word I would use here).
If internet racism bothers you, I hate to break it to you but CoD is the wrong place for you.
Trolls feed off one thing a reaction. When the typical "your mom is a whore" and "you suck at CoD jokes" aren't causing one, race definitely will. Cant tell you the amount of times I've beaten a clan of clearly black players and I get the typical "you camped" to which I respond thanks! The next thing they come back with is the stupid your mom jokes and other crap like that. After that they call me a stupid cracker.
Race jokes are just cheap insults. If you let them bother you, they win. Most of the people that say stupid racist stuff dont really feel that way, and only say that kind of stuff due to the anonimity of the internet.
True, its just the most annoying when it comes from squeekers
I'm black and in my thirties, believe me, I've heard it all before! It's just a bit ignorant is what I'm tryna get at. Whoever thinks they can get a rise out of a black person by calling them a 'monkey' or any other racial term seriously needs to think again. It just makes me wonder what goes through someones mind when coming out with this stuff. But, just like you say - trolls tryna get a reaction.
Well sir... If you had looked one post below yours, you probably would have found out what goes through most white people's minds ![]()
The thing is you definitely can get a reaction. Your mom jokes, calling someone a camper and race seem to be the 3 ways a small child attempts to get a reaction out of people online. Its stupid, I agree, but most people do it for some reason. Only thing you can do is click mute at this point.
I just don't appreciate all the ebonics being thrown around. I don't like it in real life and I certainly don't enjoy it when I'm trying to relax. Same thing goes for those speaking spicanese.
what the heck is spicanese??!!
spanish. Spic is to mexican as porch monkey is to black people.
Oh...never heard that one before.
Maybe it's just hick speak out here in the Midwest. IDK. Anyways, everyone has there stereotypes. And everyone is welcome to say whatever they want. Just mute and move on.
I too am confused on spicanese. I get the deragatory part of mexicans.
I don't know why the youth feel the need to destroy a language, but when you for a job interview at least you can present yourself better than they can.
How come everytime i see you post you come off as a d-bag? GTFO my forum you 40 year old homo.
Assuming you are a marine, I was in the navy. Probably, you have this innate sense to not like Navy people. I come off as a D-Bag to you because you are intimidated by me, and the fact that you have an alpha male personality and want to control everything. You don't like certain people posting on this public forum, then create your own forum and do not add certain people you think are D-Bags.
got into a british lobby a few months ago and those brits had nothing good to say about us Americans...so the problem isn't just between blacks and whites...it's an international affair too.
Yeah they don't like us very much for some reason...
I'm British, I like Americans, Blacks, Whites and Blue people. We all bleed red, racist people are just plain ignorant
Ya, every country i've been to do not like Americans. They just like their lifestyle. Speaking to the people i've met in other countries.
There are tons of people that are going to hate on other people for no reason. It is a part of life. I usually just mute them, destroy their whole team in the following game, and message them with a few choice words right after they rage quit.
When I can hear the racist comments coming from the kids, probably no older than 12 years old the one thing I always think is, "If you were my son and I heard you saying things like that, you'd better get ready for a good beating".
The greatest gift we can give each other is respect. The sadest part of it is that 12yr old kids are hearing this crap and thinking its cool.
Parents may think this game is ok because its a great babysitting tool but don't realize how much its affecting their kids.
Sure there is an age restriction on this game but I will bet 35% are under age.
We all have a responsibility here and should voice our opinions.
I am a white 50 yr old male, and live in the south. I have Friendships in my area with Blacks, Mexicians , Asians, I have never judged anyone by the color of there skin.
But this game does reek the racism, not to point a finger but i know i hear it from more Black kids ages 12-16 i would guess, than any other group .... I normally mute them ...
It's just that these young kids don't know any better. They already talk back to their parents, why do they care about some random person they are trying to rile up. There are plenty of people that use racism as an epitet, the same with sexuality and etc. It's just that being black is a negative, thus why they use it.
They probably have 1 black friend, and call him "N" with the "A" at the end, because its probably a white dominate area. Versus calling him that around a group of blacks. That wouldn't fly.
Same thing with a COD party 1 black group of whites, vs 1 white group of blacks. I know this because I experienced it.
In all fairness, when you are in a lobby and all you hear is "dis ni99a did that" and "dat ni99a campin" it opens the door for racist remarks.
Yeah the races can be a bit crazy heated but it's bound to happen I have a problem when you can't even cooridnate with the team because they are being hateful towards each other then when I try to say look we are on the same team I get shot down with shut up whiteboy like for real some people's kids I guess
