Your expression has changed too Reputation: +0/-0 Offline Gender: Posts: 1001	In Donkey Kong 64, the Kong family may seem like just a normal group of characters, but it's actually Rare's sick and twisted sense of humor at work again. In DK64, the Kongs listen to rap, use guns, and eat watermelon. Racists also often compare black people to monkeys. Decide for yourself if this is truly just a coincidence or not. Logged

It's just a game...Look how Sand Andreas potrayed the blacks... It's just a game. I have my own right to decide whether or not I hate people of different races...Games do not influence my decision.
God, you people take these kind of issues way too seriously....lol Stop watching Dr. Phil and the news.

I just don't have the time anymore for the CP. Working two jobs and just having a couple hours to play my Wii and continue learning programming just is not leaving me free time to focus on the CP. I feel that it's my obligation to step aside as Level Director. It's just a time issue. Since I am also a global mod that also takes some of my focus from the CP. So, it's nothing against anybody or what not, I'm just out of time anymore it seems. Sorry again.

	So what! I wanna get out! 'Cos there's so much out there! So many different people, living different lives! Incredibly good guys, bad guys... Folks completely different from us! It's one huge melting pot! See, it's not about success, dying in the streets, who's better, who's not! I just want to be a part of it! I realized that even if I've no connections, no talent, even if I'm one big loser, I want to use my hands and feet to think and move, to shape my own life! We can just die here or we can try, see what we've got!

I think that's more of a "We make the main characters based on our culture, and we base the other characters on other cultures" thing.

Also monkeys come from Africa. Black people tend to descend from Africa (so do white people, but lets not get into that now). It makes sense that monkeys would follow 'Black culture'. It's totally logical

Reputation: +1/-0 Offline Gender: Posts: 1569	I never made that connection. On the other hand I've always gotten the impression that Gorons were based on black people. They refer to each other as "Brother", the bumpy rows on there head are similar to cornrows, etc. Oh, and they eat rocks, obvious racial stereotype right there... Also, I just want to point out that even if something is based on a particular race it doesn't necessarily mean it's racist. Sometimes I wonder if we were to all ignore racism and not hold it in such prominence, wouldn't it just disappear? The same thing goes for Jack Thompson. Logged

Yah you are right...the Zora King always made me wonder however. I put in black stereotype on google image search and well...you draw a conclusion. But really, I hate how people seem to grasp at straws for anything remotely racist. Every race has different cultures and characteristics, it would be stupid to call racism everytime that was recognized. Logged

I had to sew my face back on with string cheese Reputation: +2/-0 Offline Gender: Posts: 1334	On the news they were talking about how a magazine cover showing Lebron James holding a woman was racist. They said it looked like King Kong holding what's her name. The man arguing the point said that to the majority of people, black humanity is still futuristic and unheard of. Logged
