Give Chang credit for his idea. Here's hoping Parker Brothers doesn't shut him down.

As for the hip-hop, I like some of that stuff - including the hard-core stuff from NWA and Body Count (got a first edition of the "Body Count" CD). There are, IMHO, far worse problems than hi-hop music and Ghettopoly.

In fact, tonight, I'll order a copy of that game on-line. Maybe two. This thing could be worth big money 10-15 years down the line if Parker Brothers shuts Chang down.

A lot of the criticism of hip-hop sounds eerily like the stuff enshrined in the Rock Hall's "tribute" to rock and roll critics of the 1950s. They are just cashing in on an inherent desire among teens and some adults to annoy the "prudes".

It's working.

The "War on (some) Drugs" and the attempts by the welfare state promoters and associated demagogues to demonize achievement do far more damage to the black community than the "culture du jour" ever could.
