One thing that's interesting is that Facebook has also come under fire for banning/censoring anti-racists and black people for talking about racism: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2019/04/24/facebook-whil...

It would be one thing if they didn't censor anything, but censoring anti-racism but not racism seems to show that FB is taking a pro-racism stance.



From the article:

> "White men are so fragile," she fired off, sharing William's post with her friends, "and the mere presence of a black person challenges every single thing in them."

> It took just 15 minutes for Facebook to delete her post for violating its community standards for hate speech.

I'm pretty sure that comments like that don't count as "anti-racism".


They definitely do.

But anyway, that's only a single example, one women was banned for posting a screenshot of a racist message she received.
