Thank you for the feedback and trying the game. Concerning the names, we wanted to represent the data accurately and used the same names in the survey we quoted. You can find the rest of the research we used for the game at the link below. All the 'choices' and situations relate back to published research and each are real issues that can lead to negative outcomes for black people and often more positive outcomes for white people. As with all black people, my experience with racism is unique, but all black people in America live within a system that oppresses us. If you are a black person that was insulted by our game, I'm sorry. All the situations listed are 'actual issues' that we have to deal with. The goal of our game is to illustrate them and invite players to help change them.

I was perhaps a little to confrontational in this one, I am sorry about that. The link has given me some rather interesting studies I will be looking into a tad more, although I would like to point out that certain american circumstances could play into that a good bit, such as the ghettos being primarily black populated, at least to my knowledge, thus skewing some of the statistics, but I won't say that this is the only reason, more a tad of a word of caution. Thanks a lot for this well put together reply. I suppose without getting upset here I wouldn't have managed to get this kind of insight so uh...I suppose job accomplished?

It's probably not that unique. If all racism against black in USA is always unique that's just random chance at that point.

>but all black people in America live within a system that oppresses us

Assuming system here means law , show them to me .
