‘Ghettopoly’ hits the stores.
A
‘Ghettopoly’ board game is held by a demonstrator during a protest outside an
Urban Outfitters store in Philadelphia, Wednesday, Oct. 8, 2003. Many in the
black community are outraged over the ‘Ghettopoly’ game, sold by the retail
chain Urban Outfitters, that has ‘playas’ acting as pimps and game cards reading
‘You got yo whole neighborhood addicted to crack. Collect $50…’ Black
clergymen say the game, the brainchild of a Pennsylvania man, should be banned.

Perfect, we’ve de-segregated Monopoly now? All in all, this has got to
be a funny game. I wonder what the average number pimps and hoes that get
shot up during the course of this game is? Why does it look so
dirty?

I suppose it’s dirty due to the chiken and beer the players are consuming then useing the board as a napkin.
