So an activists, probably an SJW Pro-black feminists activist is upset that facebook has banned her for talking about racism. Other black activists are also banned for similar views on their topics.
Here is my take on this. I'm all for free speech, and I'm against people being banned and deplatformed just as long as persons are not talking about violence or committing violence against groups, persons or entities. However platforms like Facebook can operate without impunity on what language people can use. The slippery slop is this. Hate speech is supposed to be only against white people, white nationalist, or Alt-Right. And that due to moral codes of society and academia, black people can not be racist and can say whatever they like or want. Sadly in facebook land, hate speech is not only applied to offensive white groups, but can also be applied to other groups of people as well. Example you have this activist talking about racism and white supremacy, but eventually she will end up saying hateful messages towards white people, but because she is black, Facebook supposed to allow her, her right to free speech even though her viewpoints and words maybe offensive. Once you ban one set of people, it creates a slippery slope to ban others. For those who are part of the left, be careful what you wish for. Once you ban and oust these white nationalist, it creates a slippery slope to ban feminists and pro blacks alike who tend to use hateful rhetoric. Once you silence one, you really silence all.
The big problem with the pro blacks are the son called r racist white liberal allies who allow them to say whatever they want, but when ready, white liberals can also shutdown anti racist white rhetoric too coming from people of color. According to white liberal and pro black pathology of the victim. Black people can't be racist and due to not controlling institutions such as government. Yet white liberal. Yet when ready will shut down any form of free speech that is hateful. And yes blacks can be hateful in speech.

Well written.
Growing up as a white child of immigrant parents
I was ridiculed by other white children of different ethnicity.
It went on until one unfortunate kid put his hands on me.
A few bloody lips later,we were all friends.
Sticks and stones
may break my bones
but names will never hurt me.
Unless of course you are a whiny left of the swing set dirty diaper baby.

I remember the good old days when actions speak louder than words. This phrase or notion is unacceptable in sjw land where words speak louder than actions.

Thankyou.
If I could I would sit down and toast a few beers to those glorious days of old.
