Twitter Censorship

That dude ran an account called 'WhiteMotivation' which is just about exactly what you think it is.

It's the white equivalent of the 'black is beautiful' campaigns we see ad companies run all the time. It wasn't even in the least bit controversial, yet it's gone.

The very first image macro in that article leads off with "Sweden is now the rape capital of the west".

If you kept reading, most of the content he tweeted were pictures of white girls with captions like "White: It's a beautiful thing."

The post you refer to cites statistical fact of which even the BBC admits[0]. It's also the most extreme tweet that account had to offer. As stated above, most of his account content looked like a 'black is beautiful' ad campaign aimed at whites.

Do you really think what he posted is worthy of a twitter suspension? Why?

Oh I did keep reading.

I notice he uses "I dindu nuffin!!!" as a subheading, which is interesting considering the use of that term, especially further down:

""" That’s right, I never called anyone n....r, w....r, k..e, racist, h...y, c.....r, m..o, dindu, r.t, f....t, m.d, or any other pet name. """ (aside one: "pet name"?) (aside two: it's not only dogs who can hear dog whistles)

The whole thing is basically one level above "A. Wyatt Mann" cartoons in terms of subtlety and "that's a trilby not a fedora" in terms of not fooling anybody.

He mentioned all of those things because there are active twitter accounts who use all of those words and more and yet avoid suspensions themselves.

You didn't answer my question.
