I dont want to watch this video... whats the motivation in him saying that. |
Jaffe thinks Hip Hop Gamer's a cool guy. He mainly says this because of the enthusiasm he has about the industry. Hip Hop gamer also happens to be a big Twisted Metal fan and made a song about the game which Jaffe and the studio thought was cool.
Appearantly he's been getting a lot of comments about it, complaints about Mr Grimm (star of the most recent trailer) being openly black, and complaints about the 2 rap songs on the Twisted Metal sound track.
Basically Jaffe says that the game supports custom soundtracks and if you're not a fan of Hip Hop or you don't think that it fits the twisted metal style, that's cool and dandy. That you as well as everyone else is entitled to an opinion. Then he goes on to the blatant racist and says that it's basically not cool, he can't believe it's still so strong in this day and age. He also says at the end that if the game does well, and his studio gets a bonus check, anyone that buys the game and is racist, just let him know. He'll donate a portion of his bonus check to charity because he doesn't want their money.
It wasn't a bad video in my opinion. A pretty strong message at the end but he doesn't throw any insults or any random unnessacery profanity or anything of that sort.

respect points for Jaffe then, reminds me of when the new spider-Man was announced to black( mixed really).. about the Mr Grimm Character has he not always been black? |
Possibly but Not really. In the past games he was the grim reaper. He's been dark skinned and wearing some sort of tight (what looked like) leather mask, he's also been portraid to be a body with a skull for a head in some of the games (like ghost rider without the flames). I believe there was a case where he had somewhat of a bulky dark skinned pinhead (from the hellraiser series) look. With the game being more grounded in reality and going for live-action cutscenes, he's now a black guy with locks and skull face paint.
EDIT: My mistake. He's never been dark skinned and leather faced. I was mixing him up with someone else. He's always been bones (except in black where he was white and wore a mask made of his friend's skull) and in the few instances that suggested him with flesh, he was white.
