I don't usually like to rant or talk about stupid/sensitive topics, but this really pissed me off.

I was just playing the new GTA update and the whole lobby (about 12 people) kept killing me for no reason, only me. I was messaging them because I was so confused and they invited me to a xbox party and told me to leave the lobby because my character is black (Im black in real life also.) I just left because I'd rather enjoy my session than deal with that BS, but seriously?!?! Racism has really gone that far to where people are mad about the color of your skin in a video game?

I know how you feel man but little can be done other than reporting those shitters. It's like when i speak English in college that i go to and because my English is my 2nd language people are taking a piss out of my accent sometimes.

That's not the point. Who cares about my character being black? That's like not playing the story mode because theres a black character. That's ridiculous. I didn't ask "Hey what do I do?" I was ranting about it because I've never experienced racism at such a low level. It just pisses me off that people are still so hateful these days.

The internet is filled with ignorant people, I mean you can't really be surprised. Just block them and find a new lobby.

Yeah, just report that stupid person and move on. They should get a 1-2 week ban for that for sure?

People will do anything on the internet because they feel like they're anonymous and won't pay for they're actions. I won't take it to heart what they say or do because of this.

The majority of people are generally racist, so you shouldn't be too surprised that this happens.

It's still extremely sad though that people do this over the Xbox though and they should be banned for this kind of thing.
