One time I had a black guy swore I didn't sound "black enough" and was a white kid trolling. <br /><br />He wanted me to prove my "blackness" by asking me who" Jay Z is and naming some of his songs. SMH.<br /><br /> In Left 4 Dead 2 I would have people start a boot vote to as soon as I enter a game and have time to check my profile or when they enter the room even when I been carrying the team most of the time.Charles M Simmonshttp://www.facebook.com/people/Charles-M-Simmons/1312105533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-13956461149461026032013-03-21T20:47:32.782-05:002013-03-21T20:47:32.782-05:00I appreciate that so many crappy people are happy ...I appreciate that so many crappy people are happy to broadcast to the world what miserable people they are.

The stereotype of the 12 year old homophobic, racist who just learned curse words on xbox holds much truth. Older white males don't seem to engage in this type of behavior at least on xbox. But like I said that's my experience. I wonder if it's some kind of unofficial rite of passage that some white males go through until they graduate to more sophisticated forms of racism?Sunkissednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-34808462459543378572013-03-21T12:27:20.019-05:002013-03-21T12:27:20.019-05:00backstage racism is a very real ordeal.backstage racism is a very real ordeal.Wavensteinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-77584232763471100942013-03-21T12:06:09.669-05:002013-03-21T12:06:09.669-05:00And they say racism is disappearing in American li...And they say racism is disappearing in American life? Public life, yes, it is very much diminished. In private spaces.

It's happened to me and my brother countless times. I once had a PSN "friend" who I used to play Call of Duty 4 with for about 9 months. We would team up together and absolutely dominate, He had a headset and I did not so he would just tell me the game plan and we'd execute it during the match.He would talk to me all the time urging me to get a headset so we could effectively communicate back and forth. He was always very friendly towards me and i thought the guy was cool. I finally get around to getting a headset and when he hears my black voice there was nothing but awkward silences and lame excuses to get out of the game. He unfriended me about a week after that and he had been ignoring within that same week, That was pretty messed up man.Wavensteinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-56513791706864046762013-03-20T21:57:40.169-05:002013-03-20T21:57:40.169-05:00Hello there!

I always kill the chat function on games I have no interest in hearing people's foolishness. <br /><br /><br />I am going to get an XBox when it drop in price. The 99 dollar deal is a scam if you look at the details.chauncey devegahttp://wearerespectablenegroes.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57113078446695664.post-11835732449880418322013-03-20T20:04:10.278-05:002013-03-20T20:04:10.278-05:00If it weren't for party chat I would of quit x...If it weren't for party chat I would of quit xbox live years ago. My friends and I were big Halo fans, played it every night. I can tell you that the racist commentary was/is not confined to Call of Duty. For those who don't know, party chat is the ability to chat privately with up to 7 of your online friends. Before party chat you could only private chat with just one other person which meant that when more friends came online you had no choice but to talk in public. Public chat is a nightmare, I go into party chat even if none of my friends are online. Xbox live is only enjoyable when the community is muted. <br /> It's not just war games either. My friends fiance liked to play Uno but she stopped because white supremacist were using there xbox cameras to display swastikas and spout racist garbage to her. <br /> I don't know if PS3 has the same issues, I don't game online with it. I think xbox is notorious because each system was packed with a headset. PS3's don't come with free headsets. I hear Sony will pack PS4 with headsets though so I wonder if their online community will see the same phenomena.Sunkissednoreply@blogger.com
