I have seen so many derogatory comments made particularly over the past week asking some question about why Blacks do this, or why they do that.. and to be honest I am now beginning to believe that either there has been an infiltration of people onto this site from the Stormfront and VanGuard white extremist websites; that people are just trying to stoke up more racial animosity or that this website simply condones discriminatory comments...

YEAH.. I KNEW YOU'D FIND THIS QUESTION "ARYAN PRIDE" .. Why don't you go to the Stormfront website... everyone there will believe what you say.. and BTW If you do a search under "Black people" and "White people" there are more questions asked about Black people.. [14,561 to 13,449] therefore there is racism on this website!!
Now here is the website for you "Aryan Pride":
http://www.stormfront.org/forum/
Go away!

Captain Bear.. In response to your answer, I'm afraid that I always cringe when people say things like "some of my friends are Black people" as if this somehow negates racism.. this reminds me of a particular website:

That's my impression as well. This site, especially the Cultures and Groups section, attracts a whole lot of trolls with a lot of garbage to say about black people. Actually, there are a limited number of trolls asking a lot of the same ignorant questions and some of them get banned, so they come back under different names.
Almost all are just losers looking to blame their failures on someone or make themselves feel better about themselves. Classic displacement basically.

Tripper, I've noticed that too and did a little research on my own. If you have noticed, these questions are typically drawn up by a troll as the one guy calls them (love it!) who either just started Y!A the same day (he has 100 points now) and has either answered similar racists' questions or answered some with the same snide remarks as Aryan guy. These people are probably no more than five of the same who change IDs (especially after getting reported and kicked off Y!A) because they come back with a different name but the same dumb question that always leads with "Why do black people..." Like you I believe they are "rebel rousers" stirring up trouble to get their jollies from the negative responses and to use this forum as a podium for their solitary racist beliefs. These people would, of course, never get the time of day in other public speaking; therefore, must use Y!A in order to be heard. One guy posted that we should simply keep reporting them. One day, like racism, it'll all end.

As someone who uses and enjoys this website I am beginning to feel that there are semi-organised groups who use the site to promote an agenda of hatred.
I guess we part company when I say that I feel there is far more with an anti-Islam agenda, but none the less, I think you are right,
The only way we can fight back is to answer each comment as best we can.
Of course, we have disadvantages, we can spell and have some grasp of grammar, but we must not give up.
Keep trying, show there is a different and moderate point of view, and simply, don't let them get away with it.
I write as a deeply committed Atheist.

Very simply, because people who have ignorant views have more questions than answers.
I welcome the opportunity to enlighten them, or at the very least know the extend and the details of the problem.
I know this doesn't apply in this case, but I have had the opportunity to answer people who have grown up amongst these beliefs, and wish to genuinely have their views either validated or refuted.
Unlike the current Iranian conference, this venue has at least the possibility of coming to the right conclusion. If something is being questioned, then it should be answered.
With them here I can ignore, or enlighten. Much better than them only talking amongst themselves.
Being Caucasian, I do not take offence. I have been the victim of systematic and prolonged racism, but fortunately feel above it all. To those who have been more deeply wounded, I sympathise, but it might be better for them to see just how ignorant the enemy is, and how much support they themselves have in the wider community.

Someone said that there were a lot of anti-white people on this site but that is probably in response to all the racists that are on here. There are a lot of extremists on here trying to stir things up and say a lot of things about black people but i could easily say a lot of things about white people which they wouldn't like. They would rather live behind a lot of lies.If they called the draft and gave me a gun i'd fight for the other side.

Well I'm new the Culture part of Y!A, heck, I'm just new period! But i haven't seen all these questions yet, maybe 1 or 2, but the rest seemed legit.
I agree with the END of Captain Bear's reponse (sorry, I don't go for cliches like that), "The problem
lies on the mutual respect for each other's culture." That is so true and until we have that mutual respect, this will continue both on and off line.

Pathetic, isn't it? I couldn't agree with you more about the 'blackpeopleloveus' website.
As for the whole ''Aryan'' label - it really makes me laugh at their ignorance. Consider where ''aryans'' came from originally, before it was hijacked by neonazi fcukwits::
"Aryan (/ɑːrjən/) is an English language word derived from the Sanskrit and Iranian terms ārya-, the extended form aryāna-, ari- and/or arya- (Sanskrit: आर्य, Persian: آریا). Beyond its use as the ethnic self-designation of the Proto-Indo-Iranians, the meaning "noble/spiritual" has been attached to it in Sanskrit and Persian. In linguistics, it is sometimes still used in reference to the Indo-Iranian language family, but it is primarily restricted to the compound Indo-Aryan, the Indic subgroup of the Indo-Iranian branch."
In light of this, I can say with 100% conviction that not only are the likes of 'aryanpride' deranged, they're also ignorant of their supposed origin and of any real concept of history.
Silly buggaz. I'd hand 'em over to the residents of Compton. Failing that, send 'em to Julia and kill 2 birds with 1 stone!! ;-)

It can't be the website's fault. Stuff just gets posted. And I think the more people see other people's "Why do black people do this" questions, and the more they see how much people react to it, then the more people will post questions about black people. Some people just like getting a rise out of people.

Ignorance and stupidity does seem to abound on this sight at times. And its not just the blacks, but Asians, Mexicans, Arabs just to name a few. I hate to say it but this can be attributed to the low level of a persons intelligence. These people, I wish they would publicly put on the same face that they show in this forum. In that way I would know the face of my enemies and believe it or not I would have more respect towards them for their honesty.
