Answer 6

I believe they say on the computer because they know saying in real life could get them beaten up, or possibly killed. In the internet world, flaming is the only thing equivalent to real-life fighting, but flaming isn't powerful at all. It's safe to get flamed, since you don't get hurt. However, in my case, I say, why worry about it? I mean, majority of the racist comments are old and outdated. For example, we already heard the 'Black people are stupid,' or 'I hate the [INSERT RACE HERE.]' Basically, whatever the racists say, it's nothing new. We're actually expecting the racists to say what they have to say, but because they don't say it in person often, why should we worry about? They're wasting their OWN time and life, hating people when they DO NOT HAVE TO. If they learned to accept others, they wouldn't stress anymore. Hate causes stress, no matter HOW hard you try hiding it.

You are dead on balls with you observation.  I think people get a little bit of courage when it is not face to face and they are looking a screen and not a live human.  You could look at as form of passive aggressive?  I have reported to ask yahoo when there has been obvious hated in questions.  Something other my what to keep a eye on and not be afraid to report it as abuse to yahoo.
