Dude keep my name out your mouth and stop emailing me.

I think that I may actually try this game out.

How about we talk about the article and the game, and not each other.

Sounds like a good idea to me.

First off, none of this would be happening if EA didn't take out FCS football. Second, how did a subject like a videogame make you go off on a rant about the double standards in this country about race? That right there tells me where your agenda is. You were salivating to get your chops into what this thread has become. You wanted this. You couldn't care less about the damn game. That is why you getting piled on. And your defense is to play the victim role.

You and your little buddies made your points loud and clear. You got your opinion out. Yet, you and the same other people keep coming back. And I am highly surprised and somewhat upset that this thread continues on with the same people with the same ignorant thoughts. I lost some respect for OS.


EDIT: MLK didn't die for people of color so they live better today. MLK was killed in cold blood. His death didn't cause the ground to shake and all of sudden, everyone was in harmony.

Also, the all-white college strawman is tired. It makes no sense whatsoever. Whites were never excluded from any and all schools in America.


Plain and simple, you have a beef with HBCUs or the makers of this game...take it up with them. Write a letter. E-mail them. Meanwhile, this thread deals with the videogame. Let's keep it on that topic instead of this agenda-driven mess.

Hey P2K we finally agree on something

good post

Stop with the f'ing insults little man, and you won't have to worry about it.

Because the article WAS ABOUT THE NAME OF THIS GAME AND THE FACT THAT IT IS CONTROVERSIAL! And I didn't start the crap, rockchisler did that with calling someone inbred, and myself uneducated.

You and YOUR little buddies have made it clear that double standard and hypocrisy are also alive and well. And for what? Because of the crimes committed against blacks well before you were likely born?

I agree Noble, this does need to be locked, because it is about to get a lot uglier around here.

Re: Black College Football - The Xperience: What's Behind the Name?

The Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, defines an HBCU as: ...any historically black college or university that was established prior to 1964, whose principal mission was, and is, the education of black Americans, and that is accredited by a nationally recognized accrediting agency or association determined by the Secretary [of Education] to be a reliable authority as to the quality of training offered or is, according to such an agency or association, making reasonable progress toward accreditation.

I believe what some members are trying to say is that of the title within in the name. Black College Football. If the name of the game was just HBCU Football, I still believe that there would be the same controversy. To designate a game based on race, to some, is racist-prejudice. However if we dig deeper into the fabric behind of what people are thinking. It goes back to the fact that here in America we still are split in our views on each other as people. So to that point no matter what a game is titled, if the name states that it represents one race over another...

...its deemed to be reverse racism, racism only goes one way...

A poster used Notre Dame as an example...It is to everyone's understanding that when one turns on the tube on saturday mornings to watch college football, what WE normally ALL see are players of color, playing for a quote-unquote Historically White College University. If one happens to go to the actual campus after the game, they will see an underwhelimg amount of black students around campus. Those such students don't represent an alarming number displayed on its athletic fields of play.

As intelligent people we can't subjugate our thinking into not understanding the plight of all minorities in America since its independence from England circa 1776. It is with this history of hardships amongst ALL of its citizens is why we still can't understand why some feel it necessary to celebrate its history into a video game without claiming racism. It has nothing to do with sex, race, color, creed, religion and or sexual preference. It is nationally recognized by the Secretary of Education as being a HBCU, which in turn warrants the relativity of the title.

Don't argue semantics over something that has nothing to do with an actual video game.

Stop with the f'ing insults little man, and you won't have to worry about it.

You send him another email and your banned. You troll this thread anymore and your banned. You made your point and yet you continue to troll and take this thread in a very bad direction. Leave it now.

The article didn't tell you to start talking about about the ignorance you brought up. That was all you and the rest of the people that have a big problem with this game.

Yes, double standards exist. Who's fault is that? Not black folks. And I must've missed that memo where racism was completely, 100% eradicated.

The ignorance and arrogance is loud in here. Black people can't even make their own videogame now.

When did having an opposing viewpoint become trolling? I never called anyone inbred or stupid here. Rockchisler questioned my education twice in this thread, and I chose to respond privately instead of publicly. Where is his public warning about insulting others?

I'm sorry I debated my side of the argument ad nauseum (granted), but it is hard not to respond when I'm being quoted left and right, and being labeled as uneducated, and essentially racist. That isn't trolling, it's debate. Debates aren't always pretty, especially concerning an issue like this.

In any case, if you don't want me to respond further that is fair enough, it is certainly true that I've had my say. But I'd also appreciate if you'd also have folks stop quoting me, poking me for a response.

When you began insulting other members. Leave it alone, and others will leave you alone. And if they don't, then we will take care of that.

Re: Black College Football - The Xperience: What's Behind the Name?

The game actually looks decent, though I probably won't pick it up because NCAA and Madden will take up enough of my game playing time.

I really don't care for the title though - not because I think it's racist, but because they're really only marketing the game to black people. Obviously this article was informative and explained what the game is all about, but for the average person that doesn't read OS and sees this game in the store - especially if they aren't black - it's probably not going to generate any interest for them to want to buy it. Am I wrong?

Anyway, I will wait to see some impressions of this game and if I like what I see, I may rent it. But, I have a hard time getting into any sports games that don't have a dynasty option.

Re: Black College Football - The Xperience: What's Behind the Name?

Until now I wasn't aware there was any sort of controversy surrounding this game, nor do I see the reason for it-the meaning of the title should be obvious to anyone who knows anything about the sport of cfb.

Having said that, I'm going to pass. I have zero interest in the subject matter.
