Should Blacks start a class action suit against Yahoo for allowing the racist rant to persist on their website?
These Q & A’s are supposedly carefully filtered yet selected rant and rave are allowed to post and stay posted while legitimate questions are removed or never even posted in the first place. How many users would like to file suit?
While were are at it, maybe we will sue the abusive users personally for harrasment and verbal assault. The Americans will be easy to find through their IP addresses, thanks to the Patriot Act.
Unfortunately any forum remotely similar to this one would contain the same inappropriate infantile content.
Bear in mind that many of these offensive posts are made by "trolls" – mindless idiots with absolutely no life who think it is somehow cool to stir up controversy on web forums.

Good luck with your lawsuit. By the way, you can’t sue someone for being racist. Well…you can sue, but you can’t win.

White people troll every minority site on the net. Even with their highly evolved brains minorities are all they seem to think about.

It’s Yahoo’s forum. If you don’t like it, don’t play here. No one forced you to be exposed to any of that. In fact, it’s likely you sought it out–saw a probably offensive question, opened it, and sure enough it was a racist rant.
I think the part you don’t get is that all this stuff you do won’t work on trolls–yelling at the troll, reporting him, getting him banned–they are hoping that all that happens! Now as for a lawsuit, would that be a suit telling them to destroy Y!A if they can’t racism off the boards? Are you claiming you’ve been harmed by something you read? Also, it’s clearly not a verbal assault (it’s written), so you may even have trouble figuring out what supposed crime they have committed.
I for one would rather they stick with what they have now–the ratings system usually hides the stupidest rants for you in the answers. I can avoid troll questions pretty easily. If someone does sneak a racist rant by both of those filters, it’s not going to hurt me anyway–I’d rather let the idiots keep their free speech so I can keep mine. No one listens to those rants anyway.

Yahoo Answers is self moderated. Users are the ones who remove questions and answers. If you wish to do something about the racism, report abusive content frequently and often. You will gain community influence. Then after awhile, you will notice content being removed quicker and faster when you report. You will even be able to remove questions and answers with one report. Then you will be a top reporter.
Really, it is us who allows abusive content to remain. This is not Yahoo’s fault, but our own.

Can Whites start a "class action suit" for the tremendous amount of black on White crime?…That is your answer.

FACT…95% of ALL interracial crime is black on White crime. Stop that and there would be no need to say anything.

Yes we should. But it should be focused against the ignorant fools on the forum.Not the yahoo answers staff itself.

It’s not only blacks that could start a lawsuit, but the answer is NO! The reason being is we all agree to the TOS when we join. Yahoo tries to remove inappropriate content immediately, but with the amount of immature trolls running around, it’s very hard to remove all offensive content. One offensive remark is taken down and 30 more racist hate filled rants are posted, but why are you only concerned about blacks? Are you suggesting that no one else gets made fun of or are you suggesting that blacks are the only ones that matter, because there’s a lot of disturbing claims made here against everyone and you should care about everyone and not just your own.
