How would the ghetto respond to a ZA?
I've always wondered how a ghetto like Compton or the projects in Chicago would react to a zombie apocalypse. In most zombie movies they only feature a few black people and never a majority cast. I'm thinking the zombies would have a hard time lol. I'm not racist at all, i'm half black, but I think their would be a lot of drive bys on zombies going on. Somebody should make a ghetto zombie movie!:D

I think it would be just like anywhere else.
Sure their are going to be those with gun's able to protect themselves, but you realize not everyone in a ghetto has a gun.
Black people are generally more physical and could fight or run away, but overall I don't think they would fair any better than anyone else.
if ya going to quote, use the whole thing!!
Black people are generally more physical
yea but its true and urban as well
I'm sure 'Zombie's in the Hood' is in the pipeline already.
I know how the "ghetto" would react. 90% of the people would die right off and everyone else little by little, like any other place.
In France, there was a film who took place in a "ghetto" (if i understand correctly the sense, and if the comparison is possible). It is named: "La Horde".
Not sure it has been put out of France, but - it's only a personnal opinion - I found it quite good.
Or to be none PR. it would be just like the white folks.
I love how ghetto = black.
At any rate. I don't see how it would make much of a difference it's not like Negroes are naturally tougher than whites or something. Not like they are better shots or have better planning. I doubt race will play a role in the starting days of the ZA.
But then again..it might be interesting how the socio economics takes a role in the response to the initial reaction to the ZA For example will it be like New Orleans in Hurricane Katrina. Negroes are known not to trust the government i.e. whites so when they are told to do something or go somewhere "safe" by the government will the do so?
In that way...those factors might make for a nice short film. But a few days in to the ZA race won't matter, not until pockets of civilization start cropping up and start applying racism again.
did this not just strike the most hilarious image in people's heads?
Now I have nothing against a zombie prostitute trying to earn a living, but I cannot see myself ever partaking in her services!

You should youtube China Traffic. It will blow your mind.
Well in the Fallout 3 game some people did! Even though they were really called ghouls.:D
"How would a ghetto--by ghetto I mean black neighborhoods--survive the ZA? Well, they are athletically gifted so I'm sure they'd be okay."
This whole thread needs to be deleted.
While violence may be more common place in locations like that I do not think that is an accurate picture of ALL the people that live in those places.. So I think that they would fair no differently than people in suburbs...
Yeah, b/c only black people live in Ghettos. Not.
And you know it's racist when he says:
Seriously.
And what do you do? Chime in, of course.
Why aren't you addressing this, Mr. Irish?

great zombie flick
Yeah, of course you did! What was I reading?
When I asked you to address this racist bullshit I totally meant chime in with your unique opinion because that's what I expect moderators to do: try to persuade people with their moving rhetoric. Nothing like delete offensive content or ban offensive members.
What is so wrong with implying all black people are violent and live in impoverished neighborhoods, right? As a white person, you're not at all offended. It's just one person's view.
So what if it condones hateful racial stereotypes?
Since you're cool with hate speech, I'd love to share my "view" about you and the job you're doing....
Where did TTG find you? From the Mitt Romney campaign? Who can I talk to besides you? You don't strike me as competent in you role as moderator.
Dude, chiiiiiiiil. If you want to use strong words, what's been said can be called "ignorant," not hateful. I've yet to see a message board where ignorance is a bannable offense.
I'm fine with you calling people out on specific lines or comments you disagree with, but you're coming dangerously close to a torch and pitchfork mentality. In fact, I'll take it one step further and say that if your preferred response becomes the norm on these boards I want no part in them.
If city dwellers initially survived the zombies, they would quickly run out of water and food. Cities depend on trucks to bring enough food and resources into a city for the people to survive. People would probably die so quickly that disease wouldn't be a problem, but human waste and rot would pile up rapidly when the city infrastructure failed. This would happen almost overnight without maintenance workers. People take for granted how much work goes into purifying water and monitoring and maintaining sewage and other utilities.
So, city dwellers hide in buildings for a couple days. Then they are forced out, where they are killed by zombies or die from starvation.
Ironically you just did that yourself saying im from the "Mitt Romney campaign"
You are right... I am white, but I do happen to be the only white person in my household my wife and children are not..
If you had read my post I pointed out that just because someone is from a ghetto doesn't mean they are more prone to violence... I have NO clue why you're picking a fight with me Red Panda and I'm not sure if you have noticed but I am not censoring you either.. even though you are personally attacking me.
I agree with your arguments that there have been horrible stereotypes in this thread.. that is why I made the points I did in my first post...
