Why is Deaf Jam Icon racist? Because it features black rap/hipĀ hopĀ artists fighting each other? I don't think that's racist, I just think it's a crappy game that isn't very enjoyable. And who is Tom McClancy? Is that like Tom Clancy and McDonald's combined?

Yes i do think its racist since it focuses on only black ppl fighting each other and leaves out white people completely, therefore only promoting one race (which is not right) No other fighting game does this.Ā 

Also its a rubbish game.

Ā 

You provide no evidence whatsoever to substantiate any of your claims.

It really makes you look stupid when you bring up a controversial topic, intending solely to annoy the people in these forums, with nothing to provide to remotely back up this rediculous topic.

Ā 

I'm pretty sure that the guy who posted that obviously knows who Tom Clancy is....

Ā 

And yes, Icon sucks. Nothing else better that I want to do is be some no talent "musician" trying to fight.Ā

I acctually own this game. I am ashamed for supporting this game. I thought it was going to be like the first 2, but I was wrong. That is all I feel from the game though. Just ashamed of supporting it. Not racist. and remember Paul Wall is in the game.

best post of this entire pointless thread. no, it isn't racist. i think def jam would have had something to say about it if it were blatantly racist. listen to some rap from the last 10, 11 years... you'll hear a lot of talk about violence, that's the attitude rappers usually try to present. take 50 cent for example. grew up in the suburbs, but all he can seem to talk about is what a tough, violent life he's lead. also, tom mcclancy is ronald mcdonald's real name... the entire mcdonald's resturaunt is a front to raise money for anti-terrorism forces. they actually planned 9/11, because they thought people would get depressed nationwide, causing them to eat more mcdonald's and grieve, instead of takeing the time to prepare healthy meals, ultimately giving the mcclancy organization a much needed cash infusion, which will allow them to continue to wage their war agains saddam burgerking, and his group of terrorists aimed at taking over the world, and thus becoming kings of the world.

Not racist, just antisocial in general... because selling someone garbage for $60 under the pretense that it's fun is deceptive, antisocial behavior.

Look, im white and I don't find this game racist at all. I don't mind playing as black people or any race at all. I created a black rapper for this game and he's badass.

Ā 

Hell, I still play a **** load of GTA: San Andreas.

Ā 

So whoever made this thread is very stupid for making this.

Its racist because black people get more opportunities than white people, like colleges and stuff. They have black only colleges, but is that racist? Nope. God help us if we have a white only college, though.

...Do you know what DefJam is?Its a record label consisting of mostly black rappers.DefJam Icon is based on the DefJam record label...which is like I said,mostly black rappers,so ofcourse the characters in the game would be mostly black.I guess Dead or Alive is racist because its compromised of just about everyone but black people...only Zack is black,and even though he can whoop @$$,they made him look and act fruity.

:|Blacks get more opportunities than whites?Whew....I could name atleast 100 facts which prove that wrong,but I hate talking about the topic of racism,and plus,this threads about DefJam,not black vs white people.
