.... 80.... WHAT THE HEEELL is he thinking! They are zombies, does he prefer the unrealistic green zed over the rest of them, Valve is going for a more realistic experience with their games, a pathogenic virus doesn't often change people green in anything, I have actually never seen anything with green zombies. Thats not the point I wanted to make, but my fingers started typing and my mind went with it.
What I want to say is. THE FUCKING GAME IS IN THE SOUTH, Texas might have more illegals then everyone else, but the rest of the south has alot of black people(And I'm not gonna say African American, I have never met any black person straight from Africa, so that ship can go fuck itself in a whirlpool) than other states, I would think it's alittle off if there weren't alot of black people in the game. Although I don't usually pay attention to the what the horde looks like, other than meat targets.
Fucking Texas, I thought you killed your retarded?

Don't ban me for this, I'm just amazed someone can make something racist outta fun
Lets see.
Says Call of Hwarez is racist for using the Confederate BATTLE Flag (Get it straight people).
It was the damn battle flag.
And at the time of the "Wild" West, it was pretty common.
L4D2 is set in New Orleans. If they were purely white zombies then you'd call it racist.
People need to grow up.

The confederate flag isn't racist unless it's draped across a mound of dead slaves and shooting zombies of differing shades of grey is more racially equal if anything.
That guy needs to get some perspective and stop trying to create controversy just for the sake of it. It isn't racist and that guy should just shut the hell up.

Actually this is the opposite of racism. You see, L4D2 is the first equal opportunity player modeler. The purpose of including African American infected isn't to say that black people are mindless zombies, its showing that all races are equally capable of being mindless zombies, gigantic armed freaks, puke-spitting fatsos, long tongued individuals with lung cancer, and hoodie wearing creepers able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.
The truth is that after the release of L4D(1), a group of ethnically diverse gamers petitioned VALVe, disturbed by the fact that most of the zombies seemed to be of Caucasian/European decent. "I can't believe how far white supremacy has reached," one African-American gamer explained, "Black people are equally capable wearing hoodies and smoking."
/sarcasm, if it wasn't obvious enough.

This racism thing in games is so out of control these days. We could be shooting any other race and it would be perfectly fine, but African Americans? That's a no go.
The game developers aren't the least bit racist; people are just overreacting.

I think it's honestly gotten to a point where games will be white-washed just so no one will be angry at developers for letting people kill black people. First of all at least two of the new survivors are black, and secondly, how can it be racist to have black people in Africa and New Orleans? Hate to be the voice of reason but you're calling people racist for having Africans in Africa, and New Orleans is known for it's African-American culture. People need to grow up and stop being so touchy.
what do you people expect? This is a blogger, a person that enjoys or feels acceptance when a mass of people checks into his blog and reads his wares. So for that blogger to get his fix of regular readers, he will need an easy audience and a controversial subject. Please congratulate yourselves for helping an addict to get his fix.
I just read his whole blog and have concluded that he is an idiot. He talks about enjoying killing nazis and japanese guys but he acts like its terrible for L4D2 to have you kill black zombies. He also flips out about Call Of Juarez: Bound in Blood. There is no way that game can be concieved as racist when a majority of tha confederate soldiers were not fighting for Slavery but for their home. I mean come on. So i take it that in san andreas it was racist for some of the gas stations to have confederate flags hanging up? Even though those gas stations were set in the hillbilly part of the game?
Did the guy who made the claim about Left 4 Dead 2 being racist happen to notice the two BLACK characters you can play as? We're not talking "dipped in tea" like the girl from Resident Evil 5 kinda black, either.
I mean don't get me wrong, I don't exactly like L4D2, but racist is the furthest thing from my mind when I talk about the game with my cousin or see stuff about it here and there.
I don't know if I can say the same about Call of Juarez, but since it seems to be a period piece I can only say it's the sorta shit that happened back then, and if you can't accept that I'm sorry.

People who cry Racism whenever someone kills a black zombie= Racist. Not only are they saying African Americans don't get to become zombies and die, they are saying it's perfectly okay to kill Caucasians while it's Racist to kill African Americans. These people crying Racism in video games have no idea what Racism is.
Real Racism is putting any race above or below any other. Real Racism is judging someone by their race rather than the actual person. What is the world coming to? "O, it's okay to blow off someone's head with a shotgun, but if the race of a fictional character in a video game is African/ African American, and that character is killed, the game is Racist."
And no, the Confederate flag is not a Racist symbol. It's the flag of a 'country' that fought in a war in which Slavery played a part, and they were on the side that had slaves.
Either stupid people stop being stupid, or games have to make every character blue with Microsoft Sam doing their voices. That's the only way I see Racism in video games dieing off. And I'm not so sure either one of those will ever happen.

I hate those wanabe-tolerant twat-donkeys. "Uhhh, you cam kill black people in this , it's racist!!1!!1" Yeah, but you can kill white people, and people from other races, too so it's racist agaist all other races as well or what? Stupid wanabe-smart pricks.
Have a game full of entirely white people and it's fine, have a game full of entirely black people and its racist... really?
What makes black people so fucking special they need to be protected like damn children, if a game is set in africa, make the majority black, makes sense to me. The white guy in RE5 reminds me of eminem which to me looks out of place, it actually detracts from the setting that the white guy is there.

Not in any way. Omitting african-americans from both sides seems more racist to me than including them.
