Would we have DS games for Imagine: Slavez and Nintenslaves?

I'm guessing the only ones in game development would be slaves.

No. As Ron Paul said eventually the market would correct itself and blacks would be freed, willingly by their white masters

It might not be that different.  Most americans disliked slavery because they just hated the southern plantation-owner class.  Even once the war ended, most northerners were white supremacists.  I mean, blacks didn't really get 40 acres and a mule or even the right to vote after the civil war ended.

Well a lot more of them would be black but other than that no.

so it would be a win for civil rights?

Pretty much.  We would then need a form of affirmative action to get Whites into the biz. 

I'm writing this at school in a big open lab and feel very uncomfortable.

creepy uncomfortable that you are having the conversation or uncomfortable because someone may read what you're saying and think you're a racist, when really you're not?

I'm thinking more along the lines of "creepy uncomfortable that he's made multiple posts in a thread without a glaring grammatical error" myself.

I'm fine with having the conversation.  I find there is no joy greater than playing a racists on the Internet.  I'm just afraid of getting slapped by the two cute girls sitting behind me.

I just semi-burped when I leaned back.  fml.

If the South won, we probably wouldn't even have videogames right now. The South would have distinguished mentally-challenged the North's industrial Economy. And with the reliance on slave labor, America would have never become a major industrial power, meaning America would not have the infrastructure or educational institutions to invent and develop much of the computer technology that we currently enjoy.

And America would never have turned into a military superpower able to thoroughly defeat Japan. Without such a defeat, Japan would not have modernized as quickly as it did. No DS!

Yeah but we'd have slaves man.  Also, I saw a black midget on the bus today, he was trying to look all hard with his tilted baseball hat.  He was so cute with that little back pack on.   :-*
