It is because they can hide that they have a strong voice.

I thought you meant me, but I didn't answer the "ghetto speak" question. I'd like to try to answer anyway.
I'm not hiding behind my computer. I'm using my computer to talk to people that I wouldn't otherwise get to talk to. And I'm using writing to give fuller answers than I ususally get to say in normal conversations. Some people online do hide behind an alternate personality.
Questions with racist content usually get pretty lively answers here. Prejudiced people make remarks and then hateful people make remarks and then non-prejudiced, non-hateful people look at the questions and answers and get caught up in all the hate talk. Then sometimes the people who are normally very kind and accepting and patient can get a little upset and give some fairly flaming responses. Anything could happen here. I'll give you some advice even though you didn't ask for advice: if you can't handle your own temper, it's better to stay away from Yahoo Answers, because some of the stuff that gets said here can really get to a person.
Even me.

I am not HIDING behind my computer...In case you didnt realize, we are on the net asking and answering questions? Hm, perhaps I should print out my response and hand deliver it to you? lol
O and dont you know the net is a tool for people (NOT ALL) to hide who they truly are? It's a form of self expression in all the possible ways imagineable to whomever. AND are you generalizing again? Did it ever occur to you that maybe I or all others with strong opinions are actually like this in reality? Please refer to "About me". lol...C'mon now.....Besides, WE both KNOW that if you are going to ask a question that will insult someone or worse, a race or culture or religion or w/e the case, your going to get very strong opinions, and insults. Of course, you have already experienced that yet again though, huh? heh heh heh...Have a nice day!

Well I just took a look at your question and saw other ones. All I have to tell you is boohoo, so what If black people talk ghetto, leave em alone. I don't like rock or country I don't go attacking it. It's gonna be there whether you like it or not. You can thank your ancestors for that too, for bringing blacks here, making them slaves and leaving them in poverty so they struggle to survive.

The same reason heroes hide behind guns. To gutless to show their faces and stand up to be counted.

Don't waste the precious minutes of your life over stuff like this. Just ignore them and give yourself a pat on the back.

Why do people create topics complaining about other topics and expect other people to care what they're talking about? ;)
