Facebook and Instagram will finally ban white nationalism and white separatism on their networks in a move that will be implemented next week. The decision, first reported by Motherboard but announced by Facebook on its website, comes after the social media giant spent years splitting hairs about the difference between white nationalism and white supremacy. And theres still the question of how well Facebook can police white nationalist content among its 2 billion users.
Our policies have long prohibited hateful treatment of people based on characteristics such as race, ethnicity or religion and that has always included white supremacy, Facebook said in a statement posted to its website.

Does Facebook own Instagram?
What about black nationalism and black separatism?
The left says there is no such thing as it is not possible.
Yes they do. And What’s App.
I guess by the liberal cracker's definition that makes me a white supremacist.
Excellent point.
Yesterday I had an email from Amazon reminding me that my grandson’s birthday is coming up in two weeks. He’s only 8 years old and I’ve sent him gifts on his birthday in the past but nothing was ever specified that the gift was for his birthday. They know more than we feel comfortable with.
Hate speech is any speech that liberals hate.
My 86 year old aunt tried Facebook for a year. She quit them and said “they’re like a bunch of old ladies gossiping”. Lol
This will backfire on them.
It undilutes true conservative messages.
“The Deep State DEMONRATS shutting down their domestic enemies ABILITY TO ORGANIZE is a prelude to civil war.”
Look at the example of Fox News. We solve this problem by creating and supporting alternative platforms. Get a Gab account and lobby POTUS to start posting there. Our enemies will kick and scream bloody murder about it. But they will get Gab accounts, too. Because they will have to.
“Facebook and Instagram will finally ban white nationalism,” because Facebook and Instagram are managed by cowards who cannot manage real threats violence.
I know one person who uses Facebook, a senior female relative who likes funny photos. No one else mentions it.
Would brown nationalism and black separatism be ok?
After reading this story I went to Facebook and typed in Black Nationalism. 92 pages identified as hits, including this one,
https://www.facebook.com/groups/1762647207302782/
which said this at the top of its page:
“Peace love and BLACK POWER! This group is for the melanated only. Nappy hair, black skin, and fat nose! If you don’t meet one of the three your invite will not be accepted!”
Now I hope you can see why I shut down all ties to facebook. Facebook is the pits when it comes to reacting to what the media is publishing.
Proud to be Irish!
POW - YOU GONE!
White is the new Jew.
It’s OK here. We have bagels and lox.
