Racist groups using computer gaming to promote violence...

On Martin Luther King Day, Resistance Records, a distributor of racist, anti-Semitic "White Power" music began to advertise Ethnic Cleansing, a CD-ROM based computer game whose object is to kill what they refer to as "sub-humans" — Blacks and Latinos — and their "masters," the Jews, who are portrayed as the personification of evil. The ads said, "Celebrate Martin Luther King Day with a virtual Race War!" Resistance Records is owned by the National Alliance, the largest and most active neo-Nazi organization in the United States. The premise of Ethnic Cleansing is that a city — clearly New York — has been destroyed by gangs of "sub-humans" controlled by Jews who are lead by the "end boss" lurking in the subterranean "Lair of the Beast." Plans for world domination are seen in the subway, along with a map of "problem" areas in the U.S. and a sign reading "Diversity, It's Good for Jews." I thought video games were bad enough as they were and always hated when my grandson got so involved in the shoot 'em up violent war games that he did but reading about this game made me shudder! Aren't they going a bit too far now? What would you do if you found your kids playing this game or any like it? You can read more about it at this site: http://www.adl.org/videogames/default.asp
