When there are racist or anti-Semitic questions and answers on Y!A...?

is it better to report them and have them deleted, or to let them stay there so the hatred is exposed and not censored and people know what nastiness is out there?

    We already know what nastiness exists here.

    When it's not downright shameful or filthy I WILL answer with sarcasm (while remaining true to the Community Guidelines). It CAN be fun to mock the trolls if done properly.

    If it is well beyond the realm of decent behavior, I will report it.

    In fact, I am somewhat in search of allies for my "worthy cause."

    Well, you're getting blocked. There's no point allowing an immature, sensitive, pathetic little report rat trying to censor everything you say, comment, or have the opportunity to report.

    I like to answer those questions and point out just how senseless and hate-filled the question and questioner are. I like to tell them that they need to lose their bitterness and narrow mindedness if they hope to be happy. When other people see the question, they'll see the other side in the answers.

    Why does this bother you so much? What's your problem?

    Racism is normal and natural.

    Most people are racist. Most people, who say they're not racist, are LYING.

    Most people, who honestly believe they're not racist, are KIDDING THEMSELVES.

    People who are actually not racist are extremely unusual and should probably become Zen monks & spend their lives meditating because they're THAT DIFFERENT

    from normal people.

    Leave it be and let the people know what's really going on.

  • I am all for free speech, but this isn't a free speech site. When you see a question or answer that breaks the community rules you're supposed to report it.

    Source(s): LOL@ Whoever the jack*** is that's thumbing down everyone. Probably one of the people who enjoys posting hate speech on here. ...Or maybe someone who likes seeing it on here...Q...

    Report them! Why have them staying there hurting others and spreding hate? DO IT IF ITS RIGHT! Only those who see what is right and wrong can change things before they get ugly. :D
