The only person involved in this discussion suggesting universal white culpability for racism is you.

I agree. I also think it's annoying that the comment now is deleted and can't be replied to. I had just written a reply where I responded to many points, explaining what I think is wrong with them, but I can't post it now...

The only thing I agreed with is that I'd like HN to be for hacker stuff, and not for politics and social commentary.

(Also, why is a commend denoted "flagged", when it in reality is deleted?)

Flagged comments are visible if you turn "showdead" on in your profile, and can be vouched for and thus resurrected by users. They are not completely gone, just hidden from view.

Thanks!

I can see it now, but I still can't comment on it. Is that because the author deleted it or something?

If it gets flagged, it loses the "reply" link.

Sorry about that, if you have the time you can email me your answers hntemp@mailhero.io I'm curious what your "points" are going to be. Chances are I've heard them a dozen times.

I think I'm just done with HN. It's amazing the hateful things people post here towards one group yet rebuttals don't seem to be allowed. Especially with this crowd.
