I kind of regret reading the Yahoo boards

[windy252]

under an article about African-Americans taking over some committees. My goodness, there sure is a lot of racism over there. We have such a long way to go. *sigh*

1. is it your 1st time there?

They are truly a bloodbath. I go there when I get pissed off.

2. Don't EVER go there!

That place is a CESSPOOL of hate! It makes StormFront look paltry, and that is saying something! I read those posts back in 2003, when it was first starting up, and it would literally make me sick to my stomach. It is nothing more than a collection of diseased minds and souls spewing their hate in the only way they can because to do it in a public forum would get their asses kicked so far up their shoulder blades, they'd have to roll down their socks to take a shit!

8. I don't even bother

The story can be about anything, and it brings out the most annoying stupidity and hatred. And it can be a freeper or a leftist, it's still worthless vomit.

Take this one, for example.


Catfish growers face global competition

ATLANTA - They don't look too much like catfish. They don't taste like them, either — at least to catfish connoisseurs. But Vietnamese basa and tra fish often fool consumers in the U.S., where they're sometimes billed as Asian catfish. Sometimes they're even labeled Delta grown.

That's the Mekong Delta, not the Mississippi.

American-bred catfish — mostly farmed in the Southeast U.S. — dominate the world market, but the region's farmers are on the defensive against growing foreign competition of basa and tra, cheaper breeds that threaten U.S. catfish superiority.

Pretty innocent, right? Nothing provocative, just a straight story on the fishing industry. But look at some of these (and, I promise you, you don't have to search with fine-toothed comb)

"NEGROES LOVE CATFISH... that's all they fish for is catfish"
"KERRY ATTACKED BY VIETNAMESE CATFISH"
"Bubba's can't tell the difference... Wal-Mart will sell it so you will buy it Bubba" (sic)
"WHERE IS THE PETA BACKERS????... I am surprised that they haven't come onboard yet, bitching about the horrible treatment of the fish..." (sic)
"Give a lib a fish.....and he'll whine that mommy government didn't give him two."

And that doesn't EVEN scratch the surface!

3. They use the term "Negroids"

like on www.pipelinenews.org

What's a negroid? These sites ought to be subject to hate crimes and fully prosecuted.

4. The sewer of the internet, as near as I can tell.

Some real knuckle-draggers seem to congregate there.

Keep being shocked folks.

12. The Yahoo bottom-feeders on the comment boards outdo Hieronymous Bosch...

...an insane, twisted, & grotesque, half-lit realm. Where do these diseased creatures of polluted twilight come crawling up from? This is not Conservatism on display, it is the rankest, slavering low-point in internet discourse. I think Yahoo may unwittingly be doing everyone a favor by letting these hellish beings covenant there together to rant & foam-- instead of giving them no option but to leave Mom's basement, & act out their belligerent monomanias upon hapless victims in the actual, above-ground world of flesh-&-blood American citizens. Sorry! I'm really not brave enough to go to the Yahoo boards nowadays.

6. Yahoo boards make me feel slimy...

Just go there to remind yourself that our species has a long way to go to be considered evolved in any way.

7. Yahoo. n. A crude or brutish person. American Heritage Dictionary.

And they ain't kidding.
