Dear Yahoo: Stop Already With Exploiting Racial Divisiveness And Hatred!
Yeah! You.
I've been a Yahoo user for over 15 years.
I've been a print journalist, reporter, editor, and manager for over 32 years.
Almost invariably, the "news" stories that you post and feature are blatantly and obviously deliberately crafted to upset and anger everyone who is exposed to them. This is made exponentially more clear and obvious in the extreme vitriol of the comments from readers.
I am certainly aware - painfully so - that you are a business and your goal is to make profit. Got that. But! What are you willing to do to get your profit? You most assuredly present yourselves as a source of "news," and actively promote the pretense of being "journalists." You also are most absolutely NOT journalists. The concept of objectively reporting facts is so distant from any even hint of professional ethics you might hold as to be of another very distant universe.
It seems obvious to even the most obtuse reader of your "news" items that you will certainly sacrifice any journalistic ethic or standard, and - in fact - are willing to actively and knowingly contribute to the destruction of civilized society.
You're not about communication. You're about destruction.
A question for you: If you help incite, inflame, and literally build the hatred and total lack of real communication among "civilized" beings and thereby significantly contribute to the collapse of society and culture ... what good will be all the "profit" in the world?
Is my view more extreme than you normally get?
Perhaps.
Is it correct.
Probably.

Yahoo is the worst news site on earth, period. Irresponsible and dangerous.

I stand by Alakazam's statement. The event with the McKinney, Texas pool party is an excellent example. On the home page, Yahoo keeps referencing a gun was drawn (on its hyperlink) - as if he deliberately drew his gun against the minorities for a power play. If you watch the video, there were teens who charged the officer and then he drew his weapon. He holstered his weapon back when he dealt with the young woman. I understand AP is the source of this story but Yahoo seems to want to put another spin on it.
Many media outlets have seriously botched this story to create a more racial divide - because that seems to be the agenda these days. I for one am sick of it.
I've been a yahoo user for years but after this.....I'm debating if I want to move on to another service. This is irresponsible reporting at its finest.

Well said. Political agenda. Definitely. The dumbing down of America and fear mongering. Sports, religion and politics, short circuit the natural tendency of people to cooperate for their survival and teach us domination. Divide and conquer!! Throw in some football and cute puppies and don't forget the celebrity updates. They're literally lulling us to sleep. Desensitize our connection to reality and produce servile drones lorded over by the directorial elite.

Mike Noel , it is idiots like you that have half a brain but feel like they are superior in every way that cause most of the trouble in the world and you are so close minded and brain washed that you automatically think everyone not like you is inferior. Actually you are QUITE inferior.

I totally disagree with Alakazam and find it difficult to believe his claim of having anything to do with news. No matter what news Yahoo! posts, no matter what the subject, there are people whom it will upset someone. Unfortunately, it seems that a large percentage of Yahoo! News commenters are what used to be called the " Silent Majority " ( though they are anything but ) , i.e. the low IQ, undereducated rednecks who post idiotic political comments below articles on nature, sports, or essentially any other topic. The only way to placate these ***** is to publish nothing or to get all your " news " from Rash Lamebrain or Faux Propaganda.

Yahoo will only post stories that are detrimental to whites. They are so leftist that they are falling over. Try, just try to click on the link about the black Los Angeles firefighter pulling and attacking and visciously beating an old white woman out of her car, while his mother proudly watches. I've tried 4 times and each time it is disrupted by another video. Yahoo is racist and not a real news source. Try going after the real true stores that black FAR outweight whites in committing crime and won't be happy until all police or at least white police are gone and that blacks are free to barge in your home and kill you and take over.

This site purposely posts derogatory information about black people, even when it is obscure locally, they decide to give it national attention. This site is nothing but a racist feeding bed, with a hidden political agenda. I say do not patronize them. They only sit back and laugh when you post complaints and continue to do it again I would love a competitor to step up and slam them. I don't use them for REAL news anyway, just as a source of sadistic entertainment.

...thank you...THANK YOU.
we have been screaming this for years..the baiting, the provoking, the misleading...
and writing 'down to the lowest level of decency and coherence.
ok, this will be controversial ..but somebody's gotta say it..
you don't have to agree in print..but you KNOW it's true..
the milennials do not have a concept of respect..how do I know? besides personal observation?
because one that was in a position of authority (daddy's kid), told me so in those words.."we don't do respect, we don't know what that is...isn't that a mafia word?"............. if only I was joking.
the web is wonderful..but the anonymity is taking our culture down down down to the worst...I write commentary on g+ as jennevaa(some of it not for the faint of involvement , not in a profane way, necessarily- but in intensity , without rant radio or extremism) and I speak to all the middle east countries and some of the military and the YPJ, Pesh , many fighters and regular people there on the ground....and figures in government..they are not only accessible , they are open and NORMAL..like we used to get to live...only a short time ago..not so long ago...you remember normal, don't you?..like when you were a kid maybe and up into when you graduated college and then?? then??...it ties to the access of the disturbed, presenting themselves as legitimate in an anonymous way and eviscerating the psyche of whomever they can. I don't have to fill in the blanks for you, you already know, as much as me...but thank you for shining a light on a dark corner..we need more illumination ..spotlights, candles and some occasional flares, to send the roaches scattering........jenneva1@yahoo.com
...indulge my ee Cummings thing...it's my style and I write casually, a combination of street smart and intellect... and without much regard for capitalization or punctuation...even online, with some modification..
if you go to my page, say hello and refer to this.

tragically a women is being raped in public on a panama city beach and the people around this event are doing nothing as four men **** an unconscious woman in public. yet the uva **** which was proven to be a false story was on yahoo news for two weeks. yes, the four men were black, I guess black on black crime is not really a racial event, just a typical day in the mind of a black man. One woman black watching the **** said, oh she is unconscious so she wont remember a thing. and yahoo continues to spew untruthful stories to advance an agenda.

We need to have a conversation about race in America . Fair enough. But this time, it has to be a two-way conversation. White America needs to be heard from, not just lectured to.. This time, the Silent Majority needs to have its convictions, grievances and demands heard. And among them are these:
First, America has been the best country on earth for black folks. It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in ***** ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation, and reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity blacks have ever known. Wright ought to go down on his knees and thank God he is an American.
Second, no people anywhere has done more to lift up blacks than white Americans. Untold trillions have been spent since the ' 60s on welfare, food stamps, rent supplements, Section 8 housing, Pell grants, student loans, legal services, Medicaid, Earned Income Tax Credits and poverty programs designed to bring the African-American community into the mainstream. Governments, businesses and colleges have engaged in discrimination against white folks -- with affirmative action, contract set-asides and quotas -- to advance black applicants over white applicants. Churches, foundations, civic groups, schools and individuals all over America have donated their time and money to support soup kitchens, adult education, day care, retirement and nursing homes for blacks.
We hear the grievances. Where is the gratitude???
Blacks talks about new 'ladders of opportunity' for blacks. Let him go to Altoona ? And Johnstown , and ask the white kids in Catholic schools how many were visited lately by Ivy League recruiters handing out scholarships for 'deserving' white kids.? Is white America really responsible for the fact that the crime and incarceration rates for African-Americans are seven times those of white America ? Is it really white America 's fault that illegitimacy in the African-American community has hit 70 percent and the black dropout rate from high schools in some cities has reached 50 percent?
Is that the fault of white America or, first and foremost, a failure of the black community itself?
As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in *********** crime, and especially *********** crimes of violence. Are Blacks aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time?
Are Blacks aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse?
We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke **** case and Jena . And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.
Sorry, Blacks, some of us have heard it all before, about 40 years and 40 trillion tax dollars ago.
This needs to be passed around because, this is a message everyone needs to hear!!!

Funny how they are not blowing up the Kentucky Racist slur but blew up the others to the point of getting expelled etc.. Not fair and biased so much huh? Cops doing there jobs are portrayed as racist but we have blatant racism not even being covered? The story of the Black kids beating the white guy on the train was portrayed as just a thing and never racially charged.. we are sick and tired of the biased media reporting an screaming racism!!!!!

I am wondering if they are no trying to be major contributor to some sort of race war. That may seems to be an outrageous claim but their actions and their stories are chosen by them. Every other story is about race. I read a question from a teen on here asking why they don't focus on the never ending stories in the world that have nothing to with race. It hit me then, it was because they simply don't want to. The people who are in the control seat at Yahoo today want racial fight for a REASON.

Yes Carey but the wrong stories are being pushed......Reporting on the subject? OK, but laced with lies and exaggerations at every turn???

With all due respect, I disagree. We continue to have problems with race relations in America. Reporting on the subject is important to the national dialogue--provided that it is fair, balanced and objective.

Yahoo has a responsibility to make a profit but in a manner that is sustainable and in accord with social mores. Go about it more intelligently with the news, perhaps make some better hires.
