Facebook admitted Sunday that it had blocked links to the Wikileaks trove of emails hacked from the Democratic National Committee.
In a Twitter post late Saturday, WikiLeaks accused the social media giant of "censorship" and gave its followers an online workaround, saying "try using https://archive.is."
The WikiLeaks allegation followed a firestorm of controversy that erupted earlier this year when former Facebook workers admitted routinely suppressing conservative news.

I think it's really unfortunate that you self-identify as having anti-black sentiments. If a black person began explaining to you why they had anti-white sentiments, would you find them reasonable? Even just the language is clearly intended to offend before you follow up by explaining that it's just the culture you're opposed to, as if that makes it okay to identify as anti-some-color-of-people. It's unfortunate that our language conflates color and culture, but that doesn't make your statement less cringe-worthy. Whenever somebody identifies as anti-some-part-of-humanity I worry that they're about to get some armbands out and throw a Nazi Party.
It's also unfortunate that the government refuses to let small communities do as they wish. One mans law is another mans oppression. If you tell uniformed cops to enforce laws that go against local customs, you're going to end up with some dead cops and some imprisoned citizens. This is true for poor white communities as well. Rich people seem to get around laws through means other than violence, usually. Black communities have some issues to work through, but whether or not they violate your cultural norms is not one of them.
Natural rights I'll explain another time.
SPOILER: They don't really exist, they're just part of a bullshit philosophical tradition.

You just self-identified as anti-Nazi. Where precisely should we draw that particular line? What percentage of a culture would you say needed to have served prison time in their adult life to be justified in saying something is fucked up? Should we give them understanding that they treat women like pieces of meat and abandon their children? Fuck that. Black culture is a cancer and anyone who follows it are scum.

Nazi isn't a color. Black is something people are taught to identify as from a young age. Its immutability is implicit. Anti-black and anti-Nazi are not comparable in the slightest. Black culture has contributed a lot to white culture, and vice versa. I suspect your children grew up being influenced by black music, and if they didn't your grandchildren certainly will. Have fun with that.
And even being anti-Nazi, I have no desire to bomb or SWAT podunk klan members.

Oh indeed, I have a great appreciation for black culture pre-1990 or so. It's only since then that it's become entirely toxic.
