Facebook Says I Violated Hate Speech Read And Let Me Know If You Agree Please

[DanieRains]

This is what I posted in response to my Right Wing Nut Job Cousin complaining about BLM protests, kneeling football players, and how they changed America for the worse.

"Once the slaves are finally freed, and have equal rights, I will gladly stand for the national anthem. Nothing to do with honoring the fallen heroes. You going to watch Dreamland? And right now right wing white trash racists are passing laws in almost all 50 states to simply make it harder for minority voters to vote. I know the ruling race doesn't like giving up power, but some Americans are tired of basically having the Klan working to destroy democracy. We are not, and have never been the land of the free, so the national anthem is meaningless until ALL AMERICANS have equal rights."

Would you as a Facebook employee crush me?

Sure I use big words, but I feel they are entirely appropriate. Klan gotta be Klan.

1. the phrase white trash might be what FB found objectionable nt

2. You posted truth. However as I have learned several times, it's how you

express it that determines if you get sanctioned. Hope it’s a short time out. Don’t let it bother you. I bet others agreed with your post. I like it too.

3. could have been that reference to slaves or it could have been the white trash or both

couple friends of mine (who are white) posted a couple times what assholes white people are and were banished to fb jail--i don't recall for how long (a week? 14 days? they got different slaps on different occasions)

you'll be allowed back.

4. No way

Nothing about this is hate speech.

5. I can't stand FB.

Deleted my account a couple of years ago. Fuck Zuckerberg.

I see no problems with your post.

6. Even when someone is correct and truthful, other FB members can complain

I think it depends on the page you're posting in. If your RWNJ cousin didn't like your post, it was probably him (her?) that complained and outed you.

I've all but abandoned FB myself because I'm so sick of the nasty crap that people write. The only effective strategy I found is to block the RWNJs and don't engage with them - just block them. Then I don't have to read their obnoxious posts, and they will not shut up.

7. I called Americans 'assholes' and got flagged for hate speech.

It's best not to post when angry because that when people are most unfiltered.

9. What You Said Is Of Course True

It is an entirely defensible statement.

8. I would have used, ignorant, inbred, angry white trash, racist, shitstains, but that's just me. :) n

10. Well Facebook is trash and nothing about their enforcement is fair

But for what it's worth, I agree with you.

11. I went to FB jail for "White Trash"

but there are other buzzwords in your post which will trigger a FB nanny-bot

[Marrah_Goodman]

12. There are certain phrases and words that trigger a suspension now.

I suspect it was "white trash" that triggered an auto suspension. You can object to the suspension and a real person will then look at it.

[HAB911]

13. I have been suspended for "white trash" twice

I try not to use it now,

[doc03]

14. I would have just ignored the post you are

upset about. When someone posts something I don't agree with I don't read people's comments or argue with them. You are not going to change their mind. All you will get is ganged on by others and raise your blood pressure.
You could put them on ignore.

[stopdiggin]

15. admit it. you were aiming for FB jail.

Fully intended to piss people off (which is purely understandable). But, having achieved that purpose ....
What -- you thought FB was a pillar of social justice? Gonna' come down on the side of speaking 'righteous truth' to the man?

Snort !!
