daniellegfny Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 I recently got a 24 hour suspension because I commented in response to Biden Tulsa speech was that “the only thing Biden knew about Black Wall St was how to exploit ignorant Blacks.” This was considered hate speech. Are we rapidly reaching the point where on mainstream Social Media Platforms that if you don’t tow the party line you will be punished. Btw the bottom quote was in response to the question what do you think these children are being taught about Blacks. There was a picture of two white children with two black children in cages.

Troy Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 Well I wish I could sympathize with you Danielle but the fact of the matter is I could two shits about any corporate social media platform. That said, I agree you were banned for two relatively innocuous statements and one taken out of context. You would not have been banned here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THEY don't want to be banned....but they want OTHER people they disagree with banned. They want to flag posts they don't like or label people "trouble makers" and get them either suspended or banned, and if they don't have the ability to do this they would rather not even participate.

Thank you for your feedback. I was more concerned with the potential impact on Independant sites like Parler when the Corps decided to flex their muscles. 11 hours ago, Pioneer1 said: The bottom quote about Blacks being animals and showing the picture of Black children in cages....did that come from YOU? No it was a picture in a black group. The question was “What do you think they were trying to teach their children?” My answer seemed to be the most logical. I believe they made the group remove the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer1 Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 Daniel I was more concerned with the potential impact on Independant sites like Parler when the Corps decided to flex their muscles. Not sure how "independent" Parler is. It's a platform where right-wing racists like to congregate...lol My answer seemed to be the most logical. I believe they made the group remove the picture. No it was a picture in a black group. The question was “What do you think they were trying to teach their children?” ?????? Your answer is a bit confusing....... *The phrase: The Blacks are animals Was THAT phrase posted BY YOU or did someone else post it? *The picture of the cage Was THAT picture posted BY YOU, or did someone else post it? A clear answer to these questions will help me to understand WHY whatever platform you were on made their decision to suspend you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniellegfny Posted June 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 The picture was posted by someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer1 Posted June 6, 2021 Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 Daniel Then if the quote "That Blacks are animals" came from you then that's why they suspended you. They thought you were being offensive because you didn't provide a lot of context in that statement. I personally don't believe you should have been suspend for that because you didn't pose a danger. I've operated websites before and I had 3 rules for discussion: 1. Don't threaten anyone with violence 2. Don't post or promote anything illegal 2. Don't put out anyone's personal information without their permission ...other than that you could pretty much say what you like and those who didn't like what you said should learn to ignore it, lol. Many people didn't like that because they thought the rules were too lax. Spam was often all over the place because I considered it their right to do it and people need to learn to focus and ignore. Never the less those simple rules turned off some people. Just another symptom of the "cancel culture". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniellegfny Posted June 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 @Pioneer1as usual you have come to the wrong conclusion.?They saw the picture and context. It’s like Troy could not see the context as a person on the outside of this group could not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it was put in a question form....I would answer: NO My conclusion about why they did is correct because the ONLY thing you said in that post was "That Blacks were animals" You didn't say THEY said it or THEY thought it....you just posted the line with no context. Maybe if you had said: "That Black PEOPLE were animals" .....it would have assured them that this wasn't YOUR assertion because your belief is that Blacks are people. It's also been my observation that NON-Black people often use the term "Blacks" where as most AfroAmericans use the term "Black people" or "Black folks", maybe some of the moderators on the platform shared the same observation and suspected that you weren't really Black either.

Pioneer1 Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 Daniel You didn’t understand the question. Lol...you didn't understand my response. The question was “What do you think these parents are teaching these children about Blacks?” Yes but YOUR question was "as usual you have come to the wrong conclusion.?" I had to presume it was a question since you put a question mark on the end of it....so I answered it. No is not an appropriate answer. It is for YOUR question. Because I did NOT come to the wrong conclusion. I came to the logical conclusion based on the information you provided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
