Mendi and Keith Obadike created a game to explore the relationship between race and color. The games tells a story of two people whose color and race are unknown the reader/player. The game is meant to show how people react to race and how people view the color of a person. The game shows no bias due to the fact the Obadike's do not reveal the characters colors and race. I was drawn to this artists work because I feel the way people are still viewed today is through what color or race they are. Because of what has been recently going on there has been a lot of prejudice towards Middle Eastern people and I feel that it is not right to judge someone like that because of their ethnicity. I feel the message the Obadike's are trying to portray is one that should be shared with anyone so that they can understand the values it can instill.
