Yes, Hacker News is censored by the owner. There is no question about that. If you are anti-censorship, this is not the place for you.

That's interesting that you seem to think it's my problem. I also find it disingenuous that you are linking to my previous comments publically. Are you trying to shame me? Maybe you need to disallow political discussions period? H

Sure, and the war on drugs delivered crack to black people and got them addicted and put them in jail. You're being obtuse if you think black people are more likely to be absentee fathers, drug addicted, and impoverished by the nature

Sounds like a great way to integrate a strong female character into your product somehow! Why not use your idea as the logo?? The name is gendered, but the logo is very bland and ungendered. Seems inconsistent.
