Double Standard

Just read an article on GamePolitics.com about a new game coming out on PC. BCFX. Black College Football: The Xperience. Now many (mostly white people I would assume) are in an uproar over a game that apparently only features black people. Well guess what? There IS a double standard. SO WHAT!!! That's just the way it is in the U.S. History is history. Some rehash the old argument that if someone made an all white football game there would be a riot. It's true. SO WHAT!!! Latin Grammys, BET, not for everyone. Do I think that making a game like this is in slightly poor taste or even asking for trouble? Yes. Does it really bother me? No. To me it's comparable to children making a no girls/boys allowed club. It's likely that it's all just a ploy to get attention. It's also likely that this game will not even be very good and it's media attention will out do it's sales. I generally don't even like football or football games but due to undue controversy I have heard about this game. I think it's time for us to mature as a society and stop complaining about things that don't even affect us. It's a video game, not affirmative action. Let's get some perspective here! Sometimes it's cool just to have something just for you. White people have had their turn.

Make no assumptions about my race.
