Facebook bans black conservative activist Candace Owens

Facebook on Friday banned black conservative activist Candance Owens for seven days, after she wrote a post calling attention to the correlation between father absence in the black community and household poverty, Breitbart reported.

The post concluded: "Black America must wake up to the great liberal hoax. White supremacy is not a threat. Liberal supremacy is."

The social media giant later reversed the ban, claiming that they "mistakenly applied a temporary block to Candace Owens’ account that we have since restored."

"We recently announced a group of people that we removed from our services for violating our policies. Candace Owens was not one of those people," the site claimed.

However, according to Breitbart, Owens is on a list of "hate agents" who Facebook aims to segregate from their platform. Though she is not one of those prioritized, her name does appear in a special "extra credit" list for employees to tackle after those on the main list have been dealt with.

A Facebook spokeswoman told Breitbart that "the list exists" and "did not deny that Owens’ name appears on it." However, she also said she "believes that there has not yet been an investigation" into Owens.

Ever notice these "mistakes" only happen one way?

They happen a lot, and that’s no mistake.

If I was Candace, I’d accuse Zuckerberg of racism.

Yep. Their excuse has become laughable - but they don’t care, because to them anyone who isn’t on their side isn’t worth worrying about.

First it was the press, now it’s social media.

What a dull world the Twitterverse will be when only one side can be expressed. Dull is a killer for Tech

Zuckerberg is a lying scheming cheating scuzball from day one. From stealing the concept of Facebook to start it, to always getting caught violating privacy, apologizing and then going on to the next privacy violation, to lying about censoring the views of those Facebook does not agree with, getting caught and saying it was a mistake. Complete dirtbag.

Yes, of course...

“Auntie Ruckus” deserves this, because she’s been a troublesome and uppity negress who refuses to return to the plantation.

/yes, sarc.

Facebook is just another internet forum moderated by rank liberals. The adventure riders forum is like that. The Gear Page guitar players forum is like that. So is the Firing Line gun forum.

It's like everything else run by liberals. As long as you tow their line and agree with them, you can stay and play. But if you show any originality, you get the ban hammer.

Facebook is bigger, that's all.

Proglib national socialists.

Always with their little "secret lists" and "investigations" like somehow normal people are supposed to care about what they think.

Nope, a nazi by any other name would still smell.

Or as John Wayne said "The day they lay you away, what I'll do on your grave won't pass for flowers."

Facebook can tolerate posts about man boy sex but can not live with any conservative point of view.

Yep...and the liberals who spew nasty and vile rhetoric (including death threats) against conservatives are never “mistakenly” ban.

Absolutely. Get medieval on his ass. Turn the viciousness of the victim culture on one of the major purveyors of that culture.

Facebook bans black conservative activist Candace Owens

Might as well ban Lady Liberty from their site. Might as well ban TRUTH from their site.

Facebook and most other liberal sites can't handle the truth, so, every chance they get, they will stop conservatives and any other truth-tellers.

Candace has become too visible for Facebook to ban her outright, and their 'temporary' and 'mistaken' removal of Candace, was just a test to see how people reacted. No doubt, liberals were jumping for joy, but even with them, they know that she's too powerful a voice and banning her would come back to bite them in the azz.

Well I know what to do. Instead of identifying and dealing with the problem lets rig SAT scores to it will be like the problem doesn’t exist.

I have an idea for Candace...

We know about how the democrats wanted to question AG Barr with ‘hired’ attorneys and not by the congresscritters themselves. Hired attorneys in lieu of the democrats who just wanted to put Barr on the spot.

So, why not Trump replace himself with Candace for just one of the upcoming general election debates? In fact, why not have Candace to a “fake” debate before the election, where she appears to be debating Biden on every issue. Biden will be made to look foolish and ignorant and dumb and unworthy.
