Do you use/hear a lot of racial slurs on XBL?

Think about what this country would be without racism... That's part of our rights as American's, no one can take that away from us legally. Politicians are pushing towards politically correct than American... If there wouldn't be racism all of the black people you know might still be in Africa, possibly getting some terrible disease or starving. Now, I'm not saying that racism is a good thing, or the right thing, I'm just saying that as Americans, we all have the right to say whatever the F*ck we want. Kinda like dropping that f-bomb. I did just drop it, and I might get in trouble for it from Gamespot. But that's also their right as American's (I think?) to suspend me. It's a system that works both ways. Having a country that supports free speech so we seem open minded, but against racism so that we seem like we care. Face it, this country was made because people were sick of not having any freedoms (which is ironic because of the slaves) and if there weren't close minded people like there were back in Britain, this kick a*s country would never have been created.

And that's my long post for the day

I never use them. I abhor the people who do.

And I don't hear many, because I don't play CoD, Halo, or GTA4 online. Rock Band 2/TF2 ftw....

Yeah ... People Use Racial Slurs Alright ... COD4 is like the lowest of low of people though ... from playing that game

you can get so much bad feed back .. for doing nothing wrong or just simply by killing a team mate not on purpose..

but back on toppic .. kids .. think its cool to use racial slures .. cause its some thing there parents dont want them to say or there parents curse on a daily bases and the kids pick up on it .... Being Racest its dumb ... really dumb

Speaking of Racest .. allot of people are not voting for Obama for one simple reason ... cause there racest

Wich is Dumb ... Pointless .. Color of skin shouldnt matter ... ever.. its like a cat hating another cat cause the one cat is tabby and the other is calico... pointless dumb!...

Halo 3 and GTA 4 are also really bad

I can't use my Mic after certain times because I get attacked for being British.

Lol, i just rofl every time i go on XBL and hear Crap like that , especially if its from some guy with a really squeaky voice and sounds like some one from alvin and the chipmunks (LOL) and is trying to act all big and tough . But yeah the use of the "N-Word" is only limited to one race is really stupid, if it is offensive then why do the people of that culture use it if it offends themselves? but if another person from another race says it they'd get in trouble? to me it's just stupid . They should just ban the word altogether or just stop calling people that . Also if a white Person Gets called a racist term nothing happens , it seems a little unfair to me . >.xhizors96

Actually one of the main reasons why I love Xbox Live is because of my addiction to petty arguments that I usually win. Sometimes I myself join a room and start random crap just because the game is boring and not competitive enough...such as in Gears of War, I'll say the opposing team sucks or sumthin just to get the juices flowing...lol! Maybe I shouldn't have confessed that!gamer082009

Come play me in Gears. I will make you regret every second of the trash talk you dish out.

agree with mysterypoo, people are too sensitive AND there are too many restrctions on what WHITE people say, fact is these are kids on LIVE, just turn the mic off, or better yet insult them and for a start anyway how do they know your race? maybe because your speaking like 50 cent? jees, equality is really bent these days

This thread is awesome.

I very rarely talk, but I do wear my headset because people say the strangest things.

Nope because I turn my mic off unless I'm playing with friends. COD4 has one of the worst online communities I've ever seen. Kuruption84

I have come across that too. Just don't play with a mike.

Yes, I hear a lot of kids swearing and racial slurs on XBOX LIVE.

As much as I love LIVE, it does get annoying.

Plus, don't think I am a fanboy for saying this, but I have owned my PS3 for far longer than my 360 and I have only had problems with one person in a game of COD4 on the PS3, and that is it.

I have no problem with smack talk. It makes the game fun and interesting. BUT when personal attacks takes place by using profanity it lowers the quality of the game. The N word, the B word, and all curses is just a way of showing your low sense of morality and lack of vocabulary in your talk!

Whatever happened to the play on words. The three stooges used words like: Numbskull, Birdbrain.

What about Bubblebutt, Senior Estupido, Crack Sniffer, StinkWod, SewerLips, BoogahLicker, and many more. These types of words leaves it up the person's imagination and ability to create something completely hilarious. Reverting to repetitive curses is plain moronic!

And yes, "When in doubt mute them out!"

The 'N-word', is not a racist word...

I go to a high school that's roughly half black.

I hear this dreaded 'N-word' anywhere from 10 to 20 times a day, all from black students. This is not just between two kids talking to themselves or in the locker room or something like that, which isn't ok either but is just accepted here, this is all in plain view of multiple teachers, to scared to do anything. In the hallways, classrooms, etc..

Nothing ever happens, they can't do anything about it. The only time a teacher tried to something about it, the kid said that the teacher used the term on him and basically lost his job until he got it back through court and everything.
GAURENTEE you, if I, or any other person of any other race were to use this word out loud, I/we'd get suspended, and probably get capped.

I'm all for discontinuing the use of this word too, but until it stops being the black exlcusicve word for 'dude', or whatever, it's just entire BS.

I havne't used Gamespot in a very long time, and I probably won't be for a while since this post is probably 'racist' or whatever and I'll get suspended. Don't see why, I didn't say anything that isn't the truth or bad. If I was racist I wouldn't live in teh community I do, or go to the school I do. I just get so sick over the whole situation.

i would really advise you against saying this ever again its just shows your well not understanding of the situation

its gotten out of control...but really its usually black people that use the n bomb (and some annoying dumb little kids who hear it)

but really...stop saying it regarding yourself and others will stop too

I can't wait for 8-play gamer chat, because of this... I'll just private chat with my friends while playing my game so I won't have to hear the nonsense... sometimes it's funny, but then there are those a-holes who go a little too farAtlanticRock

Agreed.
