XBOX 360 is a engine of hate.

i'm proud of my younger brother.
he's 11 years old b'day 3/23/97.
he managed to save up his christmas money, and his birthday money
& sold a few old games along the way to finally buy the XBOX 360
that santa forgot. for a lil kid to gain & understand the concept of
money & maintain it for that long is so impressive to me at this age.

it sucked so bad when some racist white dude & his chick playing
Gears of War on XBOX Live (the internet program on the system
for those that don't know) got on and started calling us niggers.
chris shurgged and continued to play unscathed, but i was more
than furious. as the game continued they gradually kept calling us
niggers and saying way more derrogatory commentary towards
black people.

he started catching on and constantly asking me, "carlos why are they
beasting? thats not hot".... obviously i made him turn off the xbox live
and play regularly, as the only answer i had for baby bro was,
"their just ignorant spineless snakes in the grass chris, these people
are gonna be wack to us cuz they're far away now - then go chill with
their black friends at school or work".

not exactly the experience he was looking forward
too and it hurt that i couldn't protect my brother from that.

-C!

P.S: its not every single day that you experience blatant racism, but when it happens its just a reminder that ignorance of that degree is still very prevalent in today's society. i could go on & on saying how & why this is so wrong, and how & why we should stop this but .... honestly ... you already know how and unfortunately, we all know why.
