Because Hacker News is about computer science and entrepreneurship. In general, content that can be submitted is defined as "anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity". Race relations as a subject then, is only relevant as it applies to entrepreneurship. Because computer science has absolutely nothing to so with skin color at all. Except perhaps in computer vision, image segmentation, that sort of thing. For social justice content, Tumblr is probably chock full of content that would appeal to you. Or maybe reddit. Nobody talks about religious topics here either. Why? Because Hacker News is about computer science and entrepreneurship. In general, content that can be submitted is defined as "anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity". And religion too, has absolutely nothing to do with computer science. Unless God will let file a bug report on the impossibility of dividing by zero.
