Why would a white man pretend to be black, then ask questions on a public QA intended to stereotype blacks?

Such as the guy in the question before this one does.

Every question is a stereotyping of blacks in a negative context.

Why does Yahoo tolerate this crap?

    The community has to "police" itself to quite an extent. If you catch someone faking along quite a bit, you are a level seven...use your report function to clean up the joint...if you are sure. It is like the people who accuse the TEA party of racism..but have yet to prove it to me. But the rumor of it will be enough for most to swallow the bait hook, line and sinker.

    It was Tina Fey who could see Russia from her window...and yet many believed Sarah Palin said that dumb remark. So the facts do not matter, the rumor and inuendo is enough to sway elections. Those blacks who participated in ACORN did more to stereotype blacks for me than the TEA party could ever do. The end.

    Free speech Jack, we are not a socialist dictatorship . . . yet. Maybe you will get your way and the opposition will finally be silenced.

    If you do not like a message, you counter it with more speech. It really says something about you and your argument if you cannot debate a point and must try and shut the other person down.

    Pretending to be someone else and making ugly statements is sad. Wanting to silence people you disagree with taking away their free speech is even uglier.

    no intrinsic sense of self-respect & ethical behavior......the end justifies the means; whatever it takes.

    Report the behavior with detailed explanations. YA has a lot to keep up with on this site and relies on other members to help with the task of keeping it clean.
