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.

  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.
