I apologize if this sounds like a whine, however it is far from that, this game if release will cause problems to our youth and communities.

About RE5 Posted August 18th, 2009 in Video Games

I want to confess that since I been growing up I been a huge Resident evil fan, I still remember playing the first game, since I travel a lot on business trips the last Resident evil game did not disappoint me, it was new and exciting and fun.

At the same time I've been checking out new videos and whatnot of the upcoming Resident evil 5, and I have to say honestly that I have lost all respect for the game. Now I know it may sound ridiculous but I am deeply deeply offended by this upcoming release, here is the reason why.

I am black but that is not the main reason, I am offended because it is rare that in video games that black people play any role or special role ingame up to and including in the plot of the very game itself. Which is fine, Throughout my childhood I got use to the fact of having white or non-black playable characters, but for me to anticipate the release of this great game I find this in one of my favorite games where we do finally get a role but a offensive role at that. I feel offended because I feel like my people are being used as target practice :( I decided I will not buy this game, as much as I love the resident evil games, I feel like I will never play or support capcom for that matter anymore either. Thank you
