Racist Groups Using Computer Gaming to Promote Violence Against Blacks,
Latinos and Jews.
On Martin Luther King Day, Resistance Records, a distributor of racist,
anti-Semitic "White Power" music began to advertise Ethnic Cleansing, a
CD-ROM based computer game whose object is to kill "sub-humans" ? i.e.
Blacks and Latinos ? and their "masters," the Jews, who are portrayed as
the personification of evil. The ads said, "Celebrate Martin Luther King
Day with a virtual Race War!" Resistance Records is owned by the
National Alliance, the largest and most active neo-Nazi organization in
the United States
This game is just what the White teens of the world need... I LOVE IT!!
-Suzan R.
("review" of Ethnic Cleansing posted on the National Alliance Web site)
Patterned after popular mainstream video games such as Quake and Doom,
the game turns racially motivated violence in "entertainment." Racists
and anti-Semites are clearly trying to spread their hate-filled vision
to a wider, computer-savvy, younger audience through the violent
body-strewn world of shoot-em-up computer games while hoping to make
some money along the way.
The premise of Ethnic Cleansing is that a city ? clearly New York ? has
been destroyed by gangs of "sub-humans" controlled by Jews who are lead
by the "end boss" lurking in the subterranean "Lair of the Beast." Plans
for world domination are seen in the subway, along with a map of
"problem" areas in the U.S. and a sign reading "Diversity, It's Good for
Jews."
The player (who can choose to dress in KKK robes or as a Skinhead)
roams the streets and subways murdering "predatory sub-humans" and their
Jewish "masters" thereby "saving" the white world. During the game
monkey and ape sounds are heard when Blacks are killed, poncho-wearing
Latinos say "I'll take a siesta now!" or "Ay carumba!" while "Oy vey!"
rings out when Jewish characters are killed. The game has a high level
of background detail and various National Alliance signs and posters
appear throughout while racist rock blares on the soundtrack.
At the end, the player confronts the "end boss," a rocket
launcher-wielding Ariel Sharon, who hurls insults such as: "Oy vey! Can
you shoot no better than that?"; "We have destroyed your culture!"; and
"We silenced Henry Ford." When Sharon dies, he coughs out "Filthy White
dog, you have destroyed thousands of years of planning."
The National Alliance is advertising Ethnic Cleansing as the first in a
series of games to be produced by Resistance Records. The next release
will be Turner Diaries: The Game based on The Turner Diaries, by William
Pierce, the long time leader of the National Alliance. The Turner
Diaries describes a world wide race war in which white "Aryans" destroy
all non-whites and Jews with nuclear, chemical and biological weapons.
One of the most widely read and cited books on the far-right, it has
explicitly influenced, among others, The Order, the Aryan Republican
Army, The New Order and Timothy McVeigh, the Oklahoma City bomber.
While the most sophisticated racist game available online, Ethnic
Cleansing is not unique.
Gary (Gerhard) Lauck, of Lincoln, Nebraska, (a.k.a. the "Farmbelt
Fuehrer,") has several anti-semitic "entertainment "video games on his
website under the heading "Nazi Computer-Spiele" or "Nazi Computer
Games. Most of these games are much simpler than Ethnic Cleansing but
they serve a similar purpose in that they allow players to interact in a
racist environment in which they can indulge their fantasies.
In addition, the "comedy" section of the Web site of the racist,
anti-Semitic World Church of the Creator includes racist jokes, comics
and media files, as well as downloadable racist games. Among these are
Aryan 3, Shoot the Blacks, NSDoom (NS is short for National Socialist),
and WPDoom (WP stands for White Power).

Mainstream Games Modified to Allow Players to Assume Nazi RolesThe
online multiplayer version of Return to Castle Wolfenstein, a
top-selling game in the United States, allows gamers to choose either
Allied or Axis "sides" in this popular shooter (albeit no overtly Nazi
regalia or symbols appear in the multiplayer game, but they are in
abundance in the single player campaign) and some online "clans" have
used Nazi names to identify themselves.
Another popular online game, Day of Defeat, is described by The New York
Times as having "mods" that include" battlefields decorated with
swastikas and Nazi posters," and "in some games, a battle is signaled
with a rousing call to arms broadcast in German." Creating a Racist
Computer Game - A Relatively Simple Task Relatively easy-to-use
programs, freely available on the Web, make creating a racist video game
a fairly easy task. More >>

Yep, free speech is a XXXXX sometimes. Personally, I'd like to see it
curbed and these types of games banned, but that would never be allowed by
the ACLU, those NAMBLA loving pricks.
