Punchout!! is racially essentialist, Frank Bruno's Boxing is just downright evil.

[Black Game History @BlackVGHistory]

Frank Bruno's boxing has a black man for a protagonist, but racism is the real star here - http://t.co/82aiRbM2th Check out "Tribal Trouble"

No Twitter, I don't want to follow @SaintsRow with their white man president propaganda or Lil Wayne. Fuck off.

Racism exists even in not reporting things.

Weird, all I had to do was say Hey Google, is there a trayvon martin game? and found results. Instead Zynga's downfall is still news.

[Black Game History @BlackVGHistory]

Also it's not true that it's been pulled, was able to download the shit-tastic app from Google Play

[Black Game History @BlackVGHistory]

So why is it that only news sites posted about this Angry Trayvon app? http://t.co/4I34D91Yyr

The Smash Bros. series just highlights that Nintendo has no black characters in their games to pick from, or at least non worth mentioning.

[Black Game History @BlackVGHistory]

.@watch_dogs was made for the non existent majority demographic of games, white dudes w digital power fantasies. Controlling shit w phones.

[Black Game History @BlackVGHistory]

Eh yo why are the only black people in the MGS trailer toting AKs or locked up? Are we gonna be playing as grand daddy Drebin at some point?

[Black Game History @BlackVGHistory]

#E3 featured no black people in games again, huh?

[Black Game History @BlackVGHistory]

I heard DC is the reason behind leaving out characters like Static Shock from current DC hero games and that's fucked up.
