Such a comment like the one you are responding to comes around like clockwork on HN whenever "black" is mentioned.

  That's to be expected from any large, open, anonymous internet forum and is why the site guidelines say this: "Don't feed egregious comments by replying; flag them instead." a.k.a. please don't feed the trolls. If people didn't feed it, it wouldn't grow. Therefore the problem is entirely a co-creation. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

    I always feel weird about flagging comments.

      Ok, but please don't fuel flamewars as an alternative.
