We know the PC Police are out there with their finger on the 'delete question' button but if its a valid question why not let it take it's coarse? Im going to push it to the limit now and test the 'Yahoo team'.. Black people are great rappers,and White people are terrible. Terrrible!

Sorry i should have elaborated. Yes colour does matter. If your proud it matters,and if your not you tend to suggest it doesnt. If i was blue,and a high percentage of crime was commited by blue poeple,and someone stated that in a question here on 'Yahoo' it would be deleted. It would be healthy if the question ran its coarse and i commented that "i am ashmed of the actions of my people" rather than push the 'report abuse ' button crying racism and get the question deleted. Agree?

There are many malicious people on here who make a career out of reporting other users so that their accounts are deleted including your email address and blog
incidentally, can I please ask EVERYONE to complain about Violations when they are not warranted.?
A lot of people have been deleted recently after working very hard to get up to a level where they can ask and answer unlimited.
If you get violated for something that is NOT even close to being offensive, please report it with the email header "harassment by another user" and state that you do not deserve this violation. Say that it is harassment and you want the matter investigated and the REPORTERS account suspended.
I will be reporting EVERY one from now on
Lets stop the mindless yobs destroying our work
Just one point though. If you deserve the Violation - take it on the chin !

I'm sure it is mostly because of the potential for racist answers, but it may depend on how the question is framed.
You have to remember that skin colour is not specific to ethnicity. Even though a British and an Italian person may have the same skin colour, they live in totally separate worlds. First, try asking about ethnicity specifically.
Second, try asking why (or if there is any) there is a correlation between ethnicity and whatever issue your dealing with and why. It seems safe at least.

Racism is a gimmick that can be milked to the limit if you know all the tricks. Properly handled it can result in an increase in money and also a position of power.
Look at what it has done for racist people and groups like Mr J.Jackson and Farrakhan and also for the Black Caucus, Affirmative Action and NAACP. Each of the above reached Status-Power and mucho-dinaro by playing the racist song.

It isn't just skin color questions that get deleted. Since joining Answers I've learned that:
"Liberal" is a slur, but conservative, con, or neocon is acceptable. So is neokkkon.
Typing "LOL" in answer to a question that was a joke can be deleted for not being an answer.
Calling someone a "hypocrite" when they accuse other people of being hateful (while they themselves are being hateful) is an insult.
Asking if threats against the president should be reported to the FBI can be deleted for not being a question.
Adding details to a question can get you reported for chatting.
Referring to people in your answer who are stalking you from question to question and harassing you as "childish" (after they've come into the question you answered and called you names) can get your answer deleted for "insulting other participants." Oh, but their answers are fine.
My point? Nothing on Yahoo makes sense.

It really depends on how the question is or the answer is worded. If it is a slur it should be deleted, a question like yours is an actual inquire and will probably pass muster. I suggest you go to the forum and click on wrongful deletions, and suspension and see what kind of questions are actually considered violations. I know it has enlightened me somewhat.

Because not everyone is as lighthearted as you. Many of these people are just spitting out venom. It's mainly because we can sit here forever blaming all the races of the world on some problem but in the end what does that produce.....just more hate.

I have no idear, dang garbit. White folk are the only race who never commits any sort of high or low class crime ever. They are the most morally upstanding race of this planet.

You think that's bad, try posting something about homosexuals. My questions and answers are never mean spirited, never bigoted, yet most get deleted. I mentioned something about gay sex and my yahoo id got deleted. People are so sensitive about homosexuality and race that they refuse to talk about it. It's scary.

you were just unlucky, it not that simple, its not black and WHITE, if your question is controversial they will TRASH it.
yahoo is a JUNGLE of people working, monitoring these pages it is personal opinion, the community guidelines give scope that if you call a rabbit a BUNNY, they can draw inference, that you are being offensive.
i hope this clears this up, you don't need to be a private ****, to work this out.

Because the censor's do not like it when you criticize the light skinned people that run places like Mexico, that oppresses its darker skinned citizens.
