I've had an observation during my time using Yahoo answers and I have found that to Yahoo, racism is just the kind of controversy they look for to keep folks logging in. There have been many people, myself included, that have had answers violated and accounts suspended for standing up to opression and racism, yet nothing is done to quell the the rampant hatred plastered across a question and answers forum meant to celebrate and educate people from all cultures and communities. Yahoo is glad to feature celebrities and other dignitaries to discuss subjects from the environment to politics, but how many times have they delt with a subject that rests at the heart of conflict in this country, racism? In a way, they condone racism under their "guidelines", but just as the racists are free to have a vioce, so should I be free to silence them. Is racism worth it's divisive nature to allow for the sake of the 1st ammendment? How can Yahoo change our society for the best?
