Edit: we've had to warn you about this sort of thing before. We ban accounts that keep doing this, regardless of what they're warring for or against, so please stop doing it. We want curious conversation here.

What do you have to say to the people who were denied a career or a life to certain extent because of their skin colour? > I can only see this as an extremely selfish attempt to reignite conflict so as to improve their own and their groups perspectives to the detriment of the rest of society Yeah sure, you had slavery in mind right?

> as it stands these continuous attempts to bring up race at every opportune moment Listen to yourself. Your exaggerations and name-calling say more about your own internal state of mind then they do about the world. What can you learn about yourself?

Please don't perpetuate flamewars on HN. That's just as bad as starting them, and is explicitly against the site guidelines. " Don't feed egregious comments by replying; flag them instead. " a.k.a. please don't feed the trolls https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
Not sure if they are pure trolls though. You can sometimes hear the same discourse IRL. I can’t stand them.

Sorry there, that was so obvious but I was so upset at the same time. I should have flagged it and walked away. Not sure if they are pure trolls though. You can sometimes hear the same discourse IRL. I can’t stand them.

I agree, the word troll isn't that helpful here. But I think it deserves to survive in the phrase 'don't feed the trolls' since that is the wisest thing the internet ever said. It would be interesting to know the origin, actually—I wonder if anyone has traced it.
There’s a link in the comments to this 2005 verion of the net.abuse FAQ, which references “Do not feed the trolls”: http://www.faqs.org/faqs/net-abuse-faq/troll-faq/ reply
