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

[rockchisler]

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

[Bolts_26]

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.

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

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.

["The Jab" Judah]

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.
