Are you angry at Yahoo censorship?

Question

I asked a friendly NON-racist question about if latinos and "new american immigrants" were assimilating into american society. There were no racist answers and it obviously wasn't a racist question. Yet Yahoo removes it out of nowheres. HOw many people could've reported it? 1? I've seen much more offensive questions go on for hours without anyone touching it.

JESUS!

Answer 1

Yes. I am a race-realist. A borderline racist asked the question of why people believe that africans and europeans are equal, despite the various statistical differences in IQ, prison population, gangs, etcetera. I gave the informative answer (which I kept a copy of):

"Wow. The fanatics really went wild on you. I reported the 2 people that admittedly made fraudulent abuse reports.

I am glad that you asked this question, because I am probably the only person (literally) that knows exactly
what the answer is. The belief of genetic egalitarianism (and the related belief of environmental determinism)
results from the psychological desire to disrupt the fine fundamental truth that all entities are separate and distinct.
That fundamental truth applies to humans and groups of humans, among other things. There is also the
opposite desire, that is, the desire to SEE that fundamental truth. That fundamental truth may be called 'the
truth of definition'. Both desires are in turn the result of evolutionary psychology in different environments.

I must point out though, that racial traits occur on a bell curve, meaning that there are always exceptions to the
generalities. Also, if certain people have lower aptitudes, then they should not be treated badly because of it
(as the user 'your gay' said), but neither should they be artificially helped to be as successful as everyone else.

Since the desires to see and to disrupt the truth of definition are the result of evolutionary psychology, some
races are more likely to see that truth, and others more likely to disrupt it. There are certainly many
europeans that disrupt that truth, so do not, by any means, think that all europeans are good people.
That difference between europeans is largely the result of different subraces, though unfortunately, the
european subraces have mixed so much that it is often difficult to identify the subrace of origin of a trait.
One type of european that often disrupts the truth of definition are those that have flat fatty faces (Michael
Moore, for example). In contrast, the geometrical-faced aryan subrace and the bony-faced narrow-jawed
hattic/minoan subrace usually see the truth of definition clearly.

Also, not all black people are equal. There are many black people that are rather decent people, but that
may be largely the result of breeding with europeans. Also, not all african subraces are equal,
but some are more socially destructive than others."


Highly informative and enlightening. No wonder the blind racial egalitarians of Yahoo deleted my answer, along with the question and all the other answers.

Answer 2

I don't see why they would do that.
I'm Latin, and in now way, shape, or form am I offended by the question.

And to answer it, i can't really say I've "assimilated" because I live in Miami and most of the population is Hispanic (although of different countries, so the cultures are not completely, if at all, similar.) But I can say that both my brother and I learned the language in a matter of months, and mastered it perfectly in a year. I get above average grades and scores on standardized tests, and am enrolled in the IB program for both French and Spanish mastery. So if that is an assimilated person to you, then I guess I am it.

Answer 3

ok, let's start up with the fundamentals. The structure establishes what the authorities can and can't do. the first modification prohibits the authorities from interfering with the free expression of concept in speech. First modification rights do no longer enlarge TO the non-public SECTOR to circumvent inner most persons or agencies, even those with vast interplay with the typical public, from censoring or limiting your rights to free speech. hence, Yahoo is exempt from that constitutional burden. next, let's address the Feds and their monitoring of inner most conversations. which could no longer a first modification issue...they don't look prohibiting or limiting constitutionally secure expressions or speech. What they're doing is, per chance, violating the FOURTH modification protections adverse to unreasonable search for and seizure, in that they are "searching", by potential of covert potential and with out warrant, by technique of monitoring inner most communications. Now for the different Yahoo solutions subject matters of being stated and those disappearing Q&A's and so on., all i am going to assert is improve UP... this website is only a stupid little diversion for extremely own leisure and under no circumstances an truly good conspiracy geared in route of thwarting your self expression...for that, I actual have 2 little words for you...were given weblog???

Answer 4

Unfortunately, ours society is way too hung up on so-called rights, which (evidently) includes the right of everyone not to be offended.

Unfortunately for you, Yahoo opens itself up for lawsuits if it is a vehicle for offensive speech. I, too, have been censored here. I didn't think it was bad but I guess someone was offended by the word "feticide." I didn't like it. But I also realize that if Yahoo gets whacked with multiple lawsuits from the jerks who are so very sensitive, then we might loose Y!Answers altogether. So we've got to deal with it.

Answer 5

I've asked a similar question when I first joined Y!A. Mine was not removed and I got a pretty good answer back. Here it is:

"You dont have freedom of speech online, this is private property" by zeratul123.

They can censor as they see fit. It's just a fact of life.

Oh, and be careful with blaspheming - you don't want the Christian Funboys after you too!!

Answer 6

Since I didn't see the original question, I can't say. However, so many people violate the rules that it's ridiculous. Don't people actually check out the guidelines first before posting? Silly me, I did. I don't think there is anything wrong with their sensorship.

Answer 7

I cannot comment on your specific question since I did not see it. However, I feel that Yahoo is, in general, doing a good job keeping questions and answers in reasonable order.

Answer 8

I agree, you can't ask any question that might offend blacks or hispanics or jews, without it being removed.

Answer 9

That sucks dude. Better luck next time.
