Ghettopoly board game

The Monopoly trade mark has always been strongly defended, so it will be interesting to see what they’ll do about the Ghettopoly Board game.

    I am really intrested in this game and I would like to purchase one.

  3. on 06 Oct 2003 at 5:52 pm Mr. Magee

    I can’t believe any would want to purchase this game. It’s racism in 3D!!! Look at the object and images of the game. Anybody who buys this game is a racist whether they like it or not. All Blacks that buy the game are f*ckin’ stupid!!!!!!

  4. on 09 Oct 2003 at 12:55 pm Steve

    Are they stupid in the same way as Blacks who buy rap music with lyrics that promote the same object and images?

  5. on 09 Oct 2003 at 3:22 pm DAVID CHANG YES ITS ME

    HELLO PEOPLE. I’M DAVID CHANG FOUNDER OF GHETTOPLY. I am a Tawanese immigrant being an American since age 8. I graduated from the University of Rochester with a dual degree in Economics and Psychology!

    I think Niggers take themselves too seriously! Chinese are hardworking peoples and Niggers come to America thinking they should get a free ride. Hell even the Spics work harder than Niggers and everyone knows Spics are lazy.

    There is a reason the Asian population is the preferred Minority to the White peoples. We work harder then Niggers and Spics. Jamacains works hard, but they is stinky and smoke dope all day long.

    I’m glad all of my White friends understand that NIggers just need to laugh a little after they wake up from their dope stupor.

    Lighten up is a good phrase…

    They keep mentioning slavery, okay Nigger, let me Ax you a question? How long ago was slavery??? My father operated a stereotypical Chinese Restaurant in New York. Yes he’s a dumb chink, but my generation is blessed to have good relations with the White man.

    Look at the Jews in Europe…they were ignorant and got their azzes gassed….but their children in America are doing better because they is not too dumb and they control the media.

    Get a life, and get the game!!!

    Much Love bro, PEACE!

    David

  6. on 09 Oct 2003 at 3:29 pm Mr. Reality

    Yeah, you’re right. How dare someone make a game and depict all of the reality shown on television and broadcasted on the radio. If you’re against something as trivial as a game like this, then you’re happy living in an ignorant world where you can pretend that none of this happens on a daily basis. Man, the nerve of someone trying to make a game that depicts REALITY, they should be…APPLAUDED!

  7. on 09 Oct 2003 at 6:03 pm Black and Proud

    Just curious, David, why did you not create a game that depicts promiscuous, overly submissive Asian women with brown, crooked teeth, stink breath, and the weight of 85lbs soaking wet, who smell like rice and stale cooking grease and are married to Asian men with the same hygiene problems coupled with excessively small penis’ and even smaller minds, judging from you?
    We all have our issues and problems, deal with yours and don’t worry about ours. You don’t seem to have any intentions on helping the situation, please don’t add to it.
    You can call me and my people what you want to call us, but because I am a decent person, to me, you are still an Asian American person with problems of your own that you need to deal with.
    I’ll include you to my prayers because it’s obvious that you need prayer. Your heart is heavy with nonsense and you need to relax.

  8. on 09 Oct 2003 at 6:17 pm Wake up fool!

    Dude, I sorry to hear that you’ve been brainwashed to think that your white, so-called, friends accept you as their equal or even close. They tolerate you because they’ve transformed you to be how they want you to be.
    Let me AX you something, David. (by the way the question mark comes after the question not before)
    If you created a game that depicts battered white women, being literally controlled by thier men, BLACK and white, allowing their children to tell what to do, and being killed by the the kids if they don’t what the kids tell them to do, what would become of your relationship with your, so-called, white friends?
    You’d better wake up, fool. If you attempted to stop being like them, to them, you’d be no better than us.
    You’re probably white, posing as an Asian.
    Why are you hiding, by the way?
    Show yourself, I dare you.

  9. on 09 Oct 2003 at 6:57 pm CRoffino

    People need to calm down. This is all in fun and people are always on the draw to pull the race card.

  10. on 09 Oct 2003 at 9:24 pm enkie

    David Chang, I am ashamed that you are a fellow Taiwanese. I can’t believe you even post this message..

    “Look at the Jews in Europe…they were ignorant and got their azzes gassed….but their children in America are doing better because they is not too dumb and they control the media.”

    You think the Jewish people were slaughtered because they were ignorant??? WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU????? Have some common sense. Did you think the Rape of Nanking (when the Japanese slaughtered infants and raped Chinese women) was funny too? Why don’t we make a game about how Taiwanese women were forced into whore camps during WW2???

    You are not Taiwanese, I refuse to believe that our ethnicity can produce someone like you.

  11. on 09 Oct 2003 at 11:47 pm greg

    Hello I am a black man living in a disenfranchized community and I want to say that it is good that this game is causing an uproar! I am glad! I feel sorry for misinformed people who don’t live in our neighborhoods. Remember David got the idea of creating the game from watching hip-hop videos. Ha!! He’s probably never even step foot in a black household in the burbs, let alone the ghetto!! But still I am glad that we got all groups of people commenting on this game cause it lets black people know that we are on your minds! And that is a good thing! (Smile)! “Nappy folks gon’ be alright”!

    Greg.

  12. on 10 Oct 2003 at 4:33 am shiz

    What some people seem to forget is, you can’t possibly let games like this fall in the hands of children or young teenagers.
    I can’t even believe we’ve reached this level of selfishness. All people think about is money.
    At least, if this David he wasn’t a racist and if he didn’t want to harm nobody, he would have put something else than that bad image.

  13. on 10 Oct 2003 at 3:55 pm J.Luu

    Funny how people get outraged when it is their ethnic background that is the center of comedy or controversy. I did not see blacks condemning Shaquille O’neal when he made fun of Yao Ming with his racial slurs and sad attempt at Chinese. No, in fact the NAACP had honored him with a Young Leaders Award, good choice for a candidate. So why the hypocrisy??????

  14. on 10 Oct 2003 at 10:41 pm MIAMI

    “GHETTOPOLY” ANOTHER HOME STUDY GAME COURSE TO KEEP THE THUGS INDOORS UNTIL THEY MASTER THE GAME AND TAKE IT TO THE WORLD, IT’S A THUG THING THAT WE CAN UNDERSTAND,IT’S JUST ANOTHER MARKETING SCHEME FOR THE GANSTER THANG!!!!!
    IF THE “GHETTO REALLY WASN’T LIKE THE GAME PORTRAY’S, THEN ACCEPT THAT FAIRY TALES AND MYTHS WONT SELL. HARRY POTTER WOULD GET BETTER RATINGS IF FILMED IN THUGLAND U.S.A.

  15. on 13 Oct 2003 at 3:05 am dolphin

    I THINK THAT EVERYONE WHO IS UPSET ABOUT THIS GAME IS JUST WANTING SOMETHING TO B—H ABOUT. I FEEL THAT THIS IS NOT ABOUT JUST THE BLACK RACE I FEEL THAT IT IS ABOUT THE GHETTO AND THE DRUGS THAT WE ALL HAVE IN OUR STATES,CITYS,OR COUNTYS. SO IF SOMEONE COULD GIVE A TRUE AND GOOD REASON FOR THIS GAME NOT TO BE SOLD THEN AND ONLY THEN I FEEL THAT IT SHOULD NOT BE SOLD. I FEEL THAT THE BLACK RACE WILL STICK TOGETHER AND STAND FOR WHAT IS WRIGHT BUT TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS GAME. SORRY BUT IT SEEM TO ME THAT EVERYONE HAS TO FREEDOM OF SPEACH AND THAT IS HOW I TRUELY FEEL ABOUT THIS GAME. AND AS FOR MR. CHANG YOU SHOULD NOT CALL ANYONE A NAME NOR OUT OF THERE NAME SO IF YOU MUST DO SO THEN MAYBE YOU SHOULD NOT BE TALKING AT ALL. YES I FEEL THAT THIS GAME IS NICE BUT YOU NEED TO GROW UP AND OUT OF NAME CALLING. THAT IS WHAT CHILDREN DO AND NOT A REAL ADULT WOULD DO. DOLPHIN

  16. on 13 Oct 2003 at 4:57 pm Mr. Van Boxel

    David Chang, i think you are a racist motherf***** and should be shot. I never knew that someone could say the word (pardon the racism) niggers in such short time. I have nothing aginst your game (i might even buy one) but i think you are way to racists.

  17. on 14 Oct 2003 at 1:18 am NO

    YOU GUYS ARE ALL IDIOTS FOR THINKING THAT THIS DAVID CHANG IS REALLY WHO HE SAYS HE IS. ANYONE, ME OR YOU, COULD POST A MESSAGE HERE SAYING WE’RE SOMEONE THAT WE AREN’T. IF I TOLD YOU ALL I WAS MICHAEL JACKSON, YOU IDIOTS WOULD PROBABLY BELIEVE THAT TOO….GROW UP YOU BIG DUMMIES!

  18. on 14 Oct 2003 at 5:09 am groove

    You right! I know that fool wouldn’t be dum enough to post something like that here on the net….for one thing, the media would for sure print it out and use it against him.

    Someone’s trying to fuel the already raging fire!

    Now for my commentary on the matter.

    THE GAME IS RACIST! Point blank, no matter what group he’s depicting…he needs to sued by all the groups pdepicted negetively in it.

    Given, all races know how they live, we as African Americans know it for sure, but today we have our own folks who just don’t wanna be educated or don’t give a damn about nothing positive, so they stay down in the dumps(Ghetto).

    If you look at every race, all of us have Ghettos….For Blacks, it’s “Inner City”… for Whites, it’s “Trailer “Parks”….for Chinese, it’s “Dirty smelly back streets”…and so on.

    But for a race that’s been trying erase the negatives of the so called “ghetto life” we don’t wanna see that shit! anywhere.

    As I stated earlier, some folks just can’t see pass the ignorance, and by that I mean Black,White,Chinese,Jewish,Tawanese.

    I hope the creator of this game is sued til he is broke…let it send a message for all races.

    P.s. The Monopoly game has spawned a lot of spin-offs…..like they have monoply for different Cities and states, but they sure don’t degrade any race.

  19. on 14 Oct 2003 at 6:51 pm Markeh

    i dont think anyone will find the game racist, its a lighthearted board game that pokes fun at the steriotypes.

  20. on 14 Oct 2003 at 9:26 pm Pat

    David, Are you angry at comments about the boardgame “ghettopoly” or do you honestly feel the way you come across in your response? Using the word Nigger, and making statements that indicate that you feel you are better than others is just as ignorant as the outrage welknowned Blacks who think they speak for all Blacks are spewing.
    I am a married Black woman with a six figure household income. My husband and I wanted to purchase your game just for fun but after reading your commentary I am having second thoughts.
    If I decide to purchase your boardgame, where can I get it?
    Pat

  21. on 15 Oct 2003 at 8:23 pm Desiree

    Its just a game and i want it. Where can i get it?? I want the RedNeckopoly version when it comes out. I don’t think the Red Necks are gonna rally around the flag pole to put a stop to that. Most people can laugh at this type of humor. SHould have released that one first then there would have been no possible way that everyone could have created an uproar over this one. I mean at least the people in Ghettopoly are business men (crack dealers) so to speak ….Redneckopoly probably leaves a lot more to be desir

  22. on 15 Oct 2003 at 8:24 pm Ricky

    To all of you who blame David Chang for this board game, don’t! It’s not entirely his fault. Even if you don’t want your kids playing an insensitive game such as this, they will still be exposed to this stuff. It’s everywhere. It’s in workplace, in your schools, on TV and on the radio. One silly board game isn’t going to change the minds of the average person. Whoever plays Ghettopoly thinking that this is how black people are in real life is already racist. It’s not like Ghettopoly will make it any worse.

    I have to ask those in the black community, what are you really mad about? Is it because it promotes racism? No, as I explained above. Or is it because you’re mad because someone is hurting your feelings? If so, who cares? This is the type of world in which we live. There are nice people and there are jerks.

    If black leaders and organizations like the NAACP really cared about racial injustice instead of being merely a self-serving organization, they would have been furious when that female golfer made racist comments about Asians. They sure were outraged about Rush Limbaugh, so why not Jan Stephenson? Oh right, because the subject of the attacks weren’t black people. I’m sure some of you black people would have a good chuckle if the creator of this game was black and he chose to make a game making fun of Asians.

    This leads me to believe that racism is only an issue if you are the target of that racism. What I’m trying to say is, enjoy life. Don’t live your life in anger. Your life won’t be as fulfilling as you hope if you think that everyone is out to get you. Just remember that not everyone in this world is an angel. Accept it, and move on.

  23. on 16 Oct 2003 at 2:13 am jennifer

    I AM A PUERTORRICAN AND LIVE IN “DA BRONX” AND I DO FIND IT WRONG THE WAY THAT MINORITY IS PORTAYED, THE BUSSINESS MAN ONLY SEES THE WAY TO MAKE MONEY BUT THEY DON’T KNOW WHAT IS LIVING HERE. I’VE BEEN LIVING IN THE BRONX FOR 20 YEARS EVERYONE I KNOW CONSIDERS IT LIKE GETTO, BUT IT IS NOT LIKE THAT… EVERY RACE HAS IT’S BAD APPLES WHY ONLY FOCUS ON BLACKS, WE ALL TOGETHER REPRESENT THIS CONTRY, WETHER WE LIVE IN THE GHETTO OR THE SUBURBS, AND THEY SEEM TO FORGET THAT THE WORST CRIMES ARE CAUSED BY WHITES….

  24. on 16 Oct 2003 at 5:24 pm Paul

    For a start I think anyone who says that Ghettopoly is racist needs to lighten up big time and pull their head out of their ass!!

    Its a light heated board game based on stereotypes. The sort of stereotypes that BLACK people in the music, film and tv industries are constantly promoting and glamourising!! We are constantly reminded how cool it is to live in the ghetto selling crack, killing homies with uzies and f**king bitches and hoes!! So how dare you say that this games is showing black people in a bad light, rappers are doing a great job of that on their own and yet not one black person ever says anything about that do they!!

    We live in a world today where there are too many politically correct assholes moaning about how one group or another is being disciminated against! Everyone needs to chill out and direct their energy towards things that really matter instead of a bloody boardgame!!

    Losers!!

  25. on 16 Oct 2003 at 10:28 pm Melissa

    Everyone needs to f***ing relax. Get over it! It’s just a game. I am an Italian American and you don’t see me bitching about the sterotypes that people have about us. It’s the same situation with every ethnicity.

    I was actually surfing the net to try to purchase the game when I came across this site and had to laugh at all the comments people were posting. Life is too short. Why would you even waste your time and energy fighting this? Just because I think the game is funny, doesn’t mean I’m racist. I have many friends with different backgrounds including African Americans. And yes, I said African American(not Ni**er). People need to learn to laugh more. Haven’t you ever watched Jerry Springer? All you see on his shows are White Trash and I laugh at them too. You can call me whatever you would like, because it doesn’t matter - I know who I am!

  26. on 17 Oct 2003 at 3:29 am Roger

    I think its funny as hell. Even though his website says he won’t have anymore to Christmas I hope he continues. I will buy one. Keep up the great work. Satire of a game been around for many years is just a laugh

  27. on 17 Oct 2003 at 5:03 am quynh

    where can i get one?

  28. on 17 Oct 2003 at 6:40 pm Michael

    I think that people are way to sensitive. It does not matter if your balck or white, this game contains pieces, themes, and facts of life! I am a whiteboy and I cannot wait until the “Redneck” version comes out. Everybody relax and have some fun with the game of reality!

  32. on 26 Oct 2003 at 1:31 pm thishasbeencrap

    that post by “DAvid chang yes its me” is not david chang. I read something he wrote on his website which said he found the word chink racist so i don’t think he would go f*cking calling his father one.
    i don’t own the game. I don’t know if its racist or if its just being sterotypical, or dealing a fare deal to all the groups protrayed in it. all i know is that there is no way david chang wrote that.

  33. on 11 Nov 2003 at 4:14 pm kit

    I have already bought one and I’m looking to purchase another. Not to play the game but simply for the collector’s value that comes with it. Any info on how or where I may purchase this?

  34. on 20 Nov 2003 at 2:18 am veronica

    lol hey there i would like to take a look at this game like purchase it so let me know where i can alright l8taz

  35. on 26 Nov 2003 at 6:50 am carol

    For people that are so upset by David, why write him and give him your time of day? He doesn’t care I bet on how you are feeling. So why take your time and write him.

    On the other hand, if we can’t laugh at ourselfs, than who can we laugh at. I think the game is very funny. But I am not a racist. It is all in fun and people should remember that. Give the guy a break.

  36. on 05 Jan 2004 at 9:38 am gangsta

    at the end of the day its just a game.

    i dont see any problem with it i know whats right and whats wrong so i know the game wont influence me to do racist acts and so on.

    but why the huge uproar about it? so is it ok for dre to rap about beating woman and smoking drugs? i see no difference between that and ghetopoly

  37. on 12 Jan 2004 at 11:49 pm David

  38. on 23 Jan 2004 at 10:42 pm TemptingWheat

    This game is worse that you think! The web-page says “USA orders only.”!!! How racist is that!?!

  39. on 23 Jan 2004 at 10:45 pm TemptingWheat

    You might not believe this but… the guy who said he was David Change was joking! I’m pretty sure some of the replies were comedy as well. I was laughing!

  40. on 30 Jan 2004 at 5:25 pm Jansen

    I think the game is kool, one of my friends has it! Played it the otherday, it’s full of crack wh*res and pimps, kool game! Just bought one myself with a buy now off Ebay! :>)

  41. on 23 Feb 2004 at 10:36 am Erica

    hey i am writing a paper on ghettopoly and from what i read on the game i really think that it is a great form of DISRESPECT and i think it should be eliminated………oh and david have you ever lived in the ghetto??????? although i do not but i still have respect for the people in them…. well yeah i think you have no respect for anyone………and if you are a asian then you should make a game on your oun race and life ok
    _-_-_-_-ErIcA,

  42. on 31 Aug 2006 at 2:28 am tim

    why are people making such a big deal over this game? why can’t he make it? he’s not being anymore racist then most rap songs. why dont people get upset about a drink call pimp juice or even better i dont see anyone getting upset about his plans to make a redneckpoly.

  43. on 06 Oct 2006 at 2:54 am troy

    hey ….i live in new zealand and would love to find out where i can buy this game

  44. on 06 Oct 2006 at 2:49 pm Simon

    I think it’s been taken off the market.

    Wikipedia tells me that …

    In January 2006, Chang was found in contempt of court for failure to produce documents. The court thus entered a “default judgement” for Hasbro’s continued used of MONOPOLY as a trademark, and dismissed Chang’s counterclaims, which were to revoke trademark status on “MONOPOLY.”[1] In May, 2006, the court estimated that Chang generated $879,000 in profits from the sale of Ghettopoly, and that damages of $400,000 were reasonable. [2]In June 2006, the court issued a judgment for Hasbro and against Chang for $4,000 in fees and permanently enjoined Chang from using the Ghettopoly name or selling any games by that name, or any other “opoly” forms that might cause confusion as to the source of the games, including Redneckopoly, Hiphopopoly, Hoodopoly, Thugopoly, and Latinopoly.[3]

    Maybe eBay might help you.

  45. on 08 Oct 2006 at 10:33 am troy

    thanks man ill give it a shot

  46. on 08 Oct 2006 at 12:24 pm Simon

    If you get a chance, let us know how you get on … and if the hype of it lives up to playing it!

  47. on 07 Jun 2007 at 11:17 am Dawn Heggs

    Hi there
    Anyone wanting to purchase a second hand copy of Ghettopoly has a marker missing and paint on the box apart from that it is in good condition.
    Contact eggzie@hotmail.com

  48. on 20 Dec 2007 at 6:52 pm Billy

    The only thing funnier than Ghettopoly is “The Submissive Jesus Prayer Answering Talking Head.” It’s a head of Jesus that answers your prayers when you twist the crown of thorns on its head. Check out the hilarious commercials at www.thesubmissivejesus.com
