i have seen it happen so many times on this site, whenever somebody talks down on white people nobody cares not even the white people but when somebody does it to a black person all hell breaks lose, is it from the media or are people just hypocrites

I don't mind that so much because I can stick up for myself, and I enjoy debating some of the topics in this forum. What I can't understand is why Yahoo has ZERO tolerance for whites saying anything even slightly critical about black people. White people's accounts are just wiped out at an astounding rate. The Yahoo moderators seem to be Afrocentric Black Panthers.

Because despite what many people think, there is still severe racial tension going on everywhere.
It upsets black people that they are still treated like inferiors by many white people. It upsets white people to think that black people 'get special treatment' because of their skin color (i.e. Affirmative Action, etc).
On the other side, many black people harbor the feeling that white people are judging them or looking down on them (which is not true). Also, many white people harbor the feeling that black people hate white people (which is also not true).
And so it goes in a cycle of hatred and misunderstanding.
But to answer your question, I don't think that nobody cares that white people get talked down to. I just think that black people seem more apt to stand up for themselves and their race when insulted.
Unfortunately, I see this argument from both sides, because I am 1/2 black and 1/2 white. It's an odd position to be in...

I think it maybe the timing. Both sides can be harsh. Alot of people in general just don't care, sush as many whites. Not to mention that many people have lives & have better things to do than argue over senseless things.
"When people are talking about you, they're thinking about you. It's when they stop talking about you, that is when you worry, for no one is thinking about you, & no one wants to go through life, not being thought of."

Because yahoo worries less about whats going on here and more about getting sued. I called called a "CrackerBitch" by some hairy yard ape last week. I responded with "real classy" and I got deleted, hers remained. being a mooly is a great thing on yahoo. they know 13.000.000 black will cry about it, and not one white person would ever press the issue. if you have a problem with whats said, start 10 or so accounts. this acount I'm using now is "banned_19_times" and I make 20 more everytime 10 or so get banned for speaking the truth. fuckyahoo and their racist bullshit. No race will stop me from telling the truth.
also, the other problem is, the call centers are usually an by uneducated people. My guess is, seeing that its a FAACT that blacks in america are the most undereducated race, maybe they control the outcome a bit.

probably because their are more racist whites on this site that ask racist questions than blacks. For every 1 racist question about whites, there is probably 10 more towards blacks. Everytime I log on to yahoo! answers, I see another stupid a ss racist question attacking Black. If you can't see that, then maybe you need to get those eyes checked or invest in some bifocals

Because white people have the power and dont really care if someone "talks down to then" What else can they do?

You know what, I think everyone is a bit of a hypocrite here and there. And I have to agree with you, it does look that way sometimes. Sorry.

When I first came to Y! Answers a year ago I was performing tests about this kind of stuff.
I made a charector (11 year old kid) and asked a semi-offensive question about blacks (WHY are blacks so racists?). The people that answered were actually threatening me lol (and keep in mind my charector did say he was 11).
Then I asked another question from a "black man" asking why white people were so racist. And I got for answers were compassionate white liberals saying how theres so many ignorant people in the world.
I'm 15 and racially aware
