As for GTA V PR stunt.  I find it interesting a video game that says the N word more than any other video game in history now cares about the black community.  

Black people say it more than white people but I guess that is OK too.

ALL LIVES MATTER - not just black

Careful, if you are white you can get fired for saying that.

Because so many aren't realizing why saying "all lives matter" diminishes the message.


Black lives matter - doesn't mean that ONLY black lives matter, what it's really saying is "lets give blacks the same treatment everyone else gets without bias and prejudice"

There is a long history of racial profiling and bias against black population when it comes to law enforcment.

Of course all lives matter - saying black lives matter is exactly saying that all lives matter - because so far black lives certanily haven't mattered nearly enough to make a difference as far as the default treatment they get from the cops.

The message should have been - "black lives matter too" - so many people read it as "only black lives matter" - which is completely the wrong meaning of it.

Thank you that's an excellent way of putting it.

Why shut down GTA? How are the protesters supposed to get their ideas?

Alright. Story time.

Once upon a time, a girl moved into my 4th grade class. She got along with everyone but wasn't particularly popular. I liked her well enough and talked to her sometimes, but we weren't particularly close.

Years went by, schools changed, and we ended up at the same middle school. 8th grade, she had started hanging out with a bad crowd. I still talked with her now and then, but not too often.

Then, one morning I heard that she'd been murdered. She had been raped and beaten and her body had been found in a dumpster behind a Magnolia HiFi.

At school, everyone was shocked. Girls were crying, and everyone was wringing their hands and carrying on. But here is the thing: NONE OF THEM HAD GIVEN A SHIT ABOUT HER before that. No, they had treated her like dirt, or just ignored her. Few of them even knew who she was because she skipped school a lot.

Okay. Enough story time. I hope my point was clear to everyone.

Yup, that is what the message should have been. Or better yet, the message should have been what you're really saying....All Lives Matter. Because when you are putting racists on blast...it's not just black people that are treated differently by racists...and the current slogan really diminishes THAT.

Nobody in the US supports the cops that did this.  This could have been a turning point in America but Democrats see it as their opportunity to finally take down President Trump and force their radical views on America.  

Sadly after George is laid to rest the media and Democrats will not remember him, They will move on to disbanding police departments across the country, they continue to call everyone racist if you don't agree with them (that worked wonders in 2016), they will force every company to kneel down  before them or be attacked by their dogs.  The rioters, looters and those attacking law enforcement have no idea who he is so they too will not remember him. 

Should George be remember sure, will he?  Nope this is all about a power grab for the Democrats.  

Stop with your biased anti-democrat bullshit! Is Trump paying you? Is anyone here bashing the ass-kissing Republicans? Keep your political bias out of the discussion!

I just wanted to point out that Rockstar ALWAYS does server maintenance on Thursdays. We could achieve world peace and it will still come down every Thursday.

kinda hard when politicians use this for they gain, he is stating a valid point, of politicians using this as a way to gather votes, you should never trust politicians, even less the ones who use anything for they gain, only question is can you see that?

DarkEvilHatred

The smarter thing to do would have been to shut the server down for the 8 minutes and 46 seconds George Floyd couldn't breathe.

Doing so for 2 hours has no meaning, purpose, or bearing.

Just another company with more publicity stunts hoping to appease to some of its player base.

Maybe this will gain them a bigger black player base is what their thoughts amount to IMO.

Everything I said is 100% true though, if you want to try and disprove what I said go right ahead.  This issue is 100% political so you can't say keep politics out of it.  If what I said is news to you I would recommend you educate yourself on the topic before accusing someone of being paid.  

A black man was murdered over the course of three full minutes by a police officer while his colleagues watched him do it and heard him begging for his life. Now people are outraged, because it happened before, and before, and only happens to a specific group of human beings. That is what happened, blaming politics is just looking at the situation through a certain, self applied, filter.

More crap from you. If it's political then it is for both sides. There is a reason we keep the bias out of these discussions. I suggest you educate yourself on that point.

OK had enough of your right wing lies. Blocked. Spew your propaganda at someone who cares.

The murder was wrong every single American agrees with that.  This could have been an opportunity for this country to come together.  President Trump spoke out against it right away, he made multiple comments and a fairly long speech about it after the shuttle launch.  The media has hid all of that. 

I posted two links stating this notion that there is some kind of systemic racism in police is false.  Its simply not true based on the facts, was this murder outrageous hell yes it was should this cop (others not so much) be prosecuted to the fullest extent hell yes.  Should white people feel guilty for being white?  No.  Should all Americans take a knee in front of BLM protesters ?  No.   


The murder was not political the burning down of cities, the riots and anti-American Rhetoric coming out of the MSM are all political by the Democrats all for power.  

Again 30 black men were killed in Chicago last week by other black men that is more than cops will kill in an entire year.  Where is the outrage?  Chicago isn't alone every major city which are typically ran by Democrats have this issue and have for decades.  

These are just the facts, there is no way around it.  The murder of this poor man could have been a turning point, unfortunately one party (The Democrats) that controls the media, almost every major city, Hollywood and organization like Antifa and BLM see this as an opportunity to regain power.  Its as simple as that.  



The Majority of Americans will vote Law and Order and freedom or riots, cancel culture and disbanding the police.  

you do realise all of this has been going on for several presidents, Democrats and Republicans alike, right? That is doesn’t matter who is in power or who gets discredited. You look at things through a very specific lens and cherry pick evidence that supports that specific view.

Fortunately its not an isolated incident and people can make up their own minds with the facts out there for every one to see. Its interesting to see many draw different conclusions then you do.

That account was made today just to post here in this thread. It's either an alt account; which is against the TOS here, or it's an outside troll running queries in search engines to find topics to troll around the internet and spread their propaganda.
