Deleted Answer: He is 1 of 2 Black guys I know of who married their 
"baby momma".

Violation Reason:Community Guidelines and/or Terms Of Service Violation

-Excuse me? Violation? Just because they don't like the answer 
doesn't mean it is a violation.

I'm sure you have all received a "violation", so you will recognize the format above.

My question is.......what's the violation for? I've read all the guidelines and have broke most of them so I am fairly sure this did not. Granted it may be a little controversial, but not offensive. 

Could it be the Baby mamma part? I am certain this term is not vulgar in any sense as we use it regularly in the news and radio.(there is even a movie)
"If you wouldn't say it in public, don't post it on Answers. Read more"

It;s not as if I am ranting because it is short("Keep your questions succinct,") and it's not hate speech(" keep hateful and incendiary comments off Yahoo! Answers. Read more >").
It's also true, I am a product of my environment being from a town with a Black male population of 1.(so I know of 2 Black guys who married the mother of their children.)

!@#$%^ I just looked up the definition.......A baby mama (also baby-mama and baby-mother) is a mother who is not married to her child's father. The Oxford English Dictionary defines baby mama as "the mother of a man's child, who is not his wife or (in most cases) his current or exclusive partner".Turner, Julia. (May 7, 2006). ". ...

Alright so my answer was a little inaccurate. Still why did "Antoine" not repeal my deletion

How do I re appeal?

Your violation was being the slightest anti-0bama

? · Answer

It was the "baby mama" that got you reported, it's slang and even if used regularly, the word started as an insult and it's still seen as an insult depending on the context.

Besides in this case could be also seen as defamation or character, because they were married in 1992, and their fist child was born in 1998; so, Were did you got the idea that they were not married when having their first child?

? · Answer

It was deleted and a violation because it was a racist statement. I don't know exactly how you meant it to come across, but to me it looks like you are saying that black people don't take responsibility for their offspring. What you did was categorize an entire race under a stereotype, and that makes it a racist statement.

I wouldn't waste my time worrying about this. I used to worry about deletions until I realized that Y/A is in the bag for Obama and the liberals and that's how it works. This all really means nothing anyway.

My question was rejected because of the word midget.The thought police look moronic when they reject Webster dictionary usage.You dared suggest that a Man who never played the race card during election deserves equal treatment.
