    akaQA should put the Tonya question referencing black people and their intelligence back. We all had great replies to the question. There are many ignorant people like Tonya here.

    When I suspended Tonya for her racial comment the app automatically removed the post. That's the way the forum is set up. The question was:

    "Why are black people so ignorant?"

    This is a generalized and all inclusive comment. Viewed by the members who responded as unfair and ignorant itself. It is an offensive comment and one that is not allowed here. You can respond to the comment here.

    Tonya's questions was stupid but there were many great answers.


    Chiangmai, you should post your answer here again for those who didn't have a chance to read it.

    From the list of black people, I give you:

    Martin Luther King, Jr.: 1964 Nobel Peace Prize winner.

    Erving Magic Johnson: MVP NBA basketball player and one of the outstanding business people around.

    Lewis Latimer: invented the filament found in light bulbs. He worked in the same lab as Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell.

    Jan Ernst Matzeliger: invented a shoe-making machine that increased the shoe making speed by 900%.

    George Washington Carver: developed peanut butter and 400 plant products. (Tonya, you should stop eating peanut butter now).

    Garrett Morgan: invented the Gas Mask.

    Otis Boykin: Invented the electronic control devices for guided missiles, IBM computers, and the pacemaker.

    Dr. Patricia Bath: invented a method of eye surgery that has helped many blind people to see.

    Lonnie Johnson: inventor the famous water gun, Supersoaker. (Tonya, you'd probably like to have one of these water guns except your parents cannot afford to buy it for you).

    Do you want more, Tonya? You epitomize what ignorance in this country is all about. Get your facts straight, go back to school, and most of all, SHUT UP, Tonya.







    Once removed it can not be put back. I had to go by the members who found insult in the question. Racist comments are not allowed and I had to see it more as a racist remark than freedom of speech. You can continue the discussion here if you like. You could discuss why it's so bad to make a broad and sweeping judgment over an entire culture. One race is no more ignorant than the other. Each race has their ignorant people, such as Tonya.

    whie ,black , yellow what the differance.. if it's a valid question that what matters

    It was not valid. It covered the entire race as being ignorant. It was racial. Not acceptable.

    I agree with daren. The citizens of akaQA would love nothing better than to show the world how truly ignorant a person like Tonya is. I respect your decision, Colleen. However, I feel you might pulled the plug on this a little too early. We all here have handled more difficult questions than the one submitted by tonya.

    Racist comments are not allowed.

    Let me just say it is surprising that Tonya has lived long enough to post the question....

    I missed the "Tonya"  question I think, if I read it I'm sure the same thoughts went through my mind as they are now and I'm not going to risk Colleen's rath by writing what I feel....

    No wrath. I was simply acting as a moderator and removed a racial comment. You can post your thoughts on racism and over generalized comments about a race of people. You have a right to voice your opinion.

    jhharlan, Colleen was just trying to clean up some stuff here. Go ahead and voice your opinion. tonya was questioning the intelligence of black people and that got a few of us mad. Feel free to add your opinion here, jh.

    If she has said "some" and given examples, that would have been different. But she chose to say, "Why are black people......" That is all inclusive.

    Tonyas Question was very immature and self-serving and directed at one segment of society. I have seen Questions much worse than that on this site. I wish people would not answer these offensive Questions, but immediately report the abuse before answering them..
