That's what baseball said before Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier. There just weren't enough blacks interested in the game. Learn from history, folks. Inclusion. Inclusion. Inclusion. I love how folks in different industries talk like there aren't any parallels between their racist institutions and others. You…

Agreed. Folks don't give enough credit to the dunks in the contest. It's really cool to hate on it, and the wasted dunks and time limit are boring, and that needs tweaking. But casual fans are stupid.

Dude it was trolling at one extreme. Too terse of a comment at the other. Not that race topics are ever incendiary, regardless of the merit of the reasoning on the Internet! ;-)

I wish I could turn my brain off and think like you. Must be so simple and free. Your Census stats are out of context. What percentage of video gamers are African American? That's like stating general population stats when commenting on the NFL. The percentage that makes up black fans is much higher than the general…

Thanks for proving my point by showing you don't have enough brain cells to understand my reasoning. Good day.

If the only people making games are less than 50% of the population, you're severely hindering creativity and limiting anything cool that could be developed. Stuff that you and I can't even fathom. Unless you really like derivative FPS games, I mean then by all means continue to plug your obsolete and biased merit…

Virtuous Pagans...there's a special circle of Hell for those, Dante says. And not Culpepper.

Why do you think the Wii was successful? Perhaps it was because it was attractive to the other 1/2 of the market. You know, the ones w/o penises. It DOES matter, maybe not to you, but for the overall success of the system, it does. Unless you want to disregard the need to appeal to potential players and sell systems,…

This is a curious social media decision. Talk about some chinks in ESPN's armor.

Read a book and learn a little bit about socioeconomic issues. Your post is a poorly supported dismissal that this isn't a problem. I've said — even if you think your census math is accurate — it's still a problem because of the low quality of characters. Your argument disregards why there's a low percentage. It is…

It's OK that you don't understand things yet. Presumably, you have a mother. Ask her. Presumably — if you're straight — you'll eventually have a need for a woman. And that will be a game changer. But until that day, you're life is doomed to be in boring monotones.

Wow. At least Knack has...green-skinned...folks to go with all the white characters. #HappyBlackHistoryMonth

Video games lead to violence and give the French a forum for evil. Duh. #HandsOffMyGuns

But the preseason hype led me to believe that Zeller would be the most exciting player on IU! PRESEASON HYPE!

Video games need to catch up with other media. Developers need to have balls that mainstream gamers will happily support new ideas. I mean, hip hop (black) got huge in the 80s because white kids from the burbs started buying albums. I love the "polite silence of mainstream culture's inequalities" line. You've been…

And you assume that white people only buy games with white people in them. I guess hip hop's rise wasn't fueled by the sales of rap albums by white kids in the suburbs? Your prejudice is showing, troll.

Hey mathman — where's your comprehensive survey on percentages of black folks in video games? I'm waiting. And where's the citation of your stat? I'm waiting. Here's something for you to chew on — what aren't there better representations of blacks in video games? I'm talking quality, not quantity. Try reading the post…

Kirkman's comic always had that going for it, which makes it just so much more maddening that the television show stumbles so much in that area.

No games? Poor marketing and brand recognition with not enough people knowing a new console has been released? Blame anyone but Nintendo, fanboys. They've just not done enough to put the system in a position to succeed at this point in time.

Translation: We don't have...big enough balls (IRONY!)...to be creative and do something unique and cool. I mean, it's easier to be lazy and re-sell vomit.
