	Ghettopoly - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ghettopoly is a Monopoly parody released in 2003.
		Some have said that Ghettopoly also qualifies not as racist mockery, but Monopoly within the sort of dark, self-deprecating social criticism characteristic of the rap generation.

		Ghettopoly is the board game with such a high demand that it has been selling out in Urban Outfitters around the nation.
		Ghettopoly is being marketed toward a young crowd, who are an excellent reflection of the game’s maturity level.
		Sadly, Ghettopoly may simply be a byproduct of a cultural phenomenon - the likeness of an image marketed by the hip-hop industry - as evidenced by the details of the game mirroring the subject matter of many MTV music videos.

		Ghettopoly prominently features a fl man holding a bottle of malt liquor in one hand and a gun in the other, and has "playa" pieces that include a pimp, a prostitute, a rock of crack cocaine, a basketball, counterfeit money and an Uzi.
		Ghettopoly has the same genesis as Bush I airing the Willie Horton ads during the 1988 presidential campaign or former North Carolina Senator Jesse Helms' infamous "Hands" commercial.
		To be critical of Ghettopoly and hip-hop music while revering the Blaxploitation movies of the 1970's would be the height of hypocrisy.

		Furthermore, his obstinate behavior in defense of Ghettopoly and his vow to create different versions such as Hoodopoly, Thugopoly and Redneckopoly is but a symptom that is a characteristic of this type of mentality.
		His interpretation of Black culture and the people borne of it, is one that is held by many people within the US and many other countries that receive significant amounts of US cultural media programming.
		Black communities are already suffering from an image deficit, so when outrageous caricatures such as these come to the forefront, the dam bursts and we witness a flood of emergency responses by politicians, activist organizations and concerned citizens who attempt to patch up the damage in hopes the situation will return to its normal level.

		And classist too, since GHETTOPOLY gets its laughs at the expense of poor people, as will Chang’s planned follow-up, REDNECKOPOLY, which the intrepid young entrepreneur seems to think insulates him from the racism charge since it shows his willingness to bash poor crackers along with their melanin-enriched brethren.
		After all, for all of its faults both real and imagined, hip-hop is a comprehensive cultural form, which includes both stereotype-reinforcing and potentially damaging imagery on the one hand, alongside positive, political, and liberatory expressions on the other.
		And even the artists whose emphasis on bling overrides their social concerns typically still write rhymes about overcoming adversity, strong and influential mothers, and life in the ‘hood that is far more complex, and not nearly as atomistically negative as that depicted by Chang.

		According to the instructions, "Da object" of the Ghettopoly is "to become the richest playa through stealing, cheating and fencing stolen properties." But the instructions are largely superfluous: you play Ghettopoly exactly as you would Monopoly.

		Indeed, David Chang, Ghettopoly's 28-year-old inventor, says he researched the game by studying MTV and video games, sources where such stereotypes are paraded with little comment.
