Facebook said they made a mistake when they suspended Candace Owens over a post calling for blacks to leave the Democratic party and adding that white supremacy is not a threat.
WOW! Update!@facebook has restored my page! While I am grateful that I have a large enough platform to make noise and force reconsideration— what about the millions of people who do not?

Here’s what she said earlier:
Wherever liberal policies reign supreme, Black America is under threat.

Abortion, Illegal immigration, welfare traps which encourage father absence—these are progressive policies that lead to regressive results for my community.@facebook is fearful that black ppl r waking up. pic.twitter.com/sY4uQQlH7D
I think this is being mis-reported on the right. If Facebook suspended her for anything it’s what she said about white supremacy not being a threat. A lot of outlets are reporting it as if she was suspended for saying black America must wake up. But she says that all the time, and wasn’t suspended before. Oh well, nobody cares lol!
Whatever actually happened, it’s pretty clear left-wing social media platforms are selectively imposing their standards much more harshly on those on the right than their fave liberal socialists…
