All of these racists on here are running gags, nothing to them really, it isn't like they are brazen enough to say their crap to any of our faces, so why get in such a huff?
Get thicker skin, or get off of Cultures & Groups.

It only hurts when you have doubt about yourself. If you know who you are, and that you aren't anything like they say, why let it bother you?
I know that I'm not anything like their definition of the typical black woman... so I just shrug off their insults.

Zai, they are the jokes, not their statements. I do believe that most of these racists are earnest in their efforts to offend, but it gets them nowhere, I especially think its funny how most of them repeat themselves in different posts, and that guy with the spam is a hoot!
Then there is the ugly chick with the yellow teeth... don't get me started on her...

Nik, I make a broad statement because "black" people aren't the only target of racism on Y!A...
"Some People" broad spectrum.... all encompassing.

I don't let racists get the better of me, I'm better than that, and for anyone to go as far as they do to insult others proves their inferiority.

Some people are different than you. Open your eyes its not a joke. If it were a joke, they would put it in the jokes section, instead of the culture. And some people dont go to cultures or groups its just in open answers. Even if someone does go on cultures and groups, its to get a better understanding of other cultures, not to see people put down other races. Thats why its a yahoo violation.

Because the reality is that when the subject of the "joke" deals with some social problem, it is not really a joke. It's a way of being verbally abusive.

But you have to understand. It hurts to constantly hear that stuff every time you get on this website. People should be able to come to this website and not have to worry about that. I think it's funny but if they are really bad I report them. I know racists are just nobodies. But everyone don't have thick skin and I understand where they are coming from because if it was happening to a group, race, or life style I was apart of. I don't know how I would feel.
*No that's not true. Some of them have hurt me and other people and none of it pertains to us*
I've seen post with slave owner making fun of dying black babies and black women hanging from trees. You think that's not going to hurt someone with a heart. Yes it will. Yahoo wouldn't have violations if they were just simply jokes. They are not jokes. They really do hate and their goal is to hurt people feelings.
BTW: You are really pretty and nothing can bother pretty girls *smile*

To be honest i could n't care less about what they say or don't say, it does n't offend me at all. But you need to realise that theres a fundamental difference between a joke and an insult. Jokes are funny insults are not.

a joke it meant to make u laugh, but not @ the expense of making another feel bad, or being insulting.
Funny is funny
Racism is NOT funny.

You should not surprise, that in this column, that you meet variety of people with their own personality, their own believe, their own education etc. Just be ready for any answers. But sometimes I like the humoristic one too.

I think you are right.
Racists are like the bullies that taunt you and then run to their mommy when you get them back.

I agree. The best policy is just to ignore them, eventually they get the message and leave Y!A.

My sister can't take jokes and I believe it is because of a low self esteem. She can dish it out, she just can't take it.
