Banned anti-welfare board game re-released to feature ‘Obozo the Marxist clown’

Source: Wash. Independent

A board game that was banned in the 1980s will be re-released as “Obozo’s America: Why Bother Working for a Living?” The game features insulting stereotypes about welfare recipients as well as a depiction of a “Marxist Clown… juggling Hope and Change balls.”

The board game’s creator, Bob Johnson, says in a statement that the game “was forced off the retail market in the 1980s by government officials working with the NAACP, NOW, and other welfare ‘rights’ groups.”

According to a press release announcing the rerelease of the game:

“Obozo’s America” is essentially the same as “Public Assistance” with these new features: the “Welfare Promenade” is now “Obozo’s Welfare Promenade;” each of the 50 Welfare Benefit cards and each of the 50 Working Person’s Burden cards begins with “Obozo Says;” and, an image of Obozo the Marxist Clown, juggling Hope and Change balls, appears in each of the corners.

Players begin on Obozo’s Welfare Promenade with an initial welfare grant of $1,000, then maneuver along the Promenade, getting cash for producing out-of-wedlock children, for drawing extensive welfare benefits, and for their success in four “Saturday Night” crimes (Prostitution, Armed Robbery, Gambling, and Drugs).

... the "Nixon Asshole" pic up on my wall.

and shamed out of stores. I don't think the government could've straight up banned this game and violated the 1st amendment, unlike what the creator claims.

It shows them as the bunch of reptilian-brained, hateful, spiteful, nasty, and otherwise obnoxious people that they are. This creates outrage.

is in THEIR White House.

Amazing how much hate.

They just don't learn, do they?

This is just ugly race-baiting and it should be call as such by the mainstream media.
