"Blackhawk Down" is being blasted for racist material...."
I don't believe this. I was reading an article on the up coming "Blackhawk Down" computer game based on the movie/book/actual incident. Get this - a bunch of Buttheads are raising a stink about the fact that all the bad guys in the game are black!
I'm sorry, but on that day, in Somalia, in 1993, the only white people in Mogadishu were the ones visiting by helicopter.
"Blackhawk Down" is being blasted for racist material...."
Any person who could use their political authority to starve and deny their citizens of John Locke's natural rights doesn't even deserve to see the American face who kills them. I think it was overdignifying them to send in our elite infantry to kill that scum, and most of them even got to see the person who brought them to judgement. I love life, and cherish humankind, but any person who shows such disregard for human life deserves to see the bottom of a USAF B-52, nomatter what color they are. It wasn't fair to the American troops who have lived their lives respectful of others, and then are asked to do combat with an enemy that ultimately doesn't care if he lives or dies, so long as the American dies.
God has blessed us with technology to keep those who love and follow Him safe from our most despickable enemies, and this is an example where we should have used it. It's not a matter of race, it's a matter of respect for life, which the members of that cult in Somolia have shown time and time again.
Anyone who thinks this is about black and white needs to seriously consider thinking before they speak. For years, American kids have been blowing up **** Germany in video games. This is acceptible because that enemy has committed unspeakable crimes against humankind, and just like the Somolis, they were brought to an agonizing defeat. TK

welcome to America.
"hey man, my glass of pop wasnt served cold" "im going to sue you for discrimination" "you didnt serve me COLD POP because i had DARK blue jeans and not LIGHT blue jeans"
im just waiting for it to come down to that, because nowdays everything is racist or prejudice when it doesnt offend white people, only "ethnic" people have their voices heard.
who founded this country? someone please educate my ignorant white self

I hope that they have Osama in the game. I will kill him 1000 times.
Osama and his forty thieves were helping those scumbag warlords in Mogadishu. All Pres. Clinton wanted to do was to get some food to a million starving refugees. I have to go play DOOM now, I estimate I will kill 500 or so white zombie-marines before I'm through if that makes the whiners happier.

I think he was (hopefully) referring to the American soldiers who died. As far as the game being disrespectful, they actually got the permission from everyone involved in that operation, and several of the Rangers that were in Mogadishu that day are employed as consultants, to make sure the game tastefully, respectfully and accurately recreates that day.

At least no one can say anything about the old cowboy movies of the 50s and 60s. All the Indians were white(Brut Lancaster for instance). So I guess it could be considered PC that the Indians in those movies lost to the cavalry.
Man I sure wish special interest groups would quite being so touchy about any reference. Some day I guess all our movies will have to be vanilla to keep everyone happy.
