@Veteran229 right? It's like he wants people to applaud him for making a racist statement in retaliation to racism. Because, two wrongs make a right?

How is it racist for a while person to talk of white trash? It's the opposite of racism, acknowledging that there are disgusting people in one's own race who need to be stamped on hard. What we have today though is a world in which intelligent moderation of posts is impossible due to pressure of time, so mods don't stop to check the race of the person using what could be a racist expression. In the same way, there are black people who get banned for using the N word, even though they should be 100% entitled to do so as they are manifestly not being racist, and if a black person talks about black trash, the same applies - they cannot be writing off all black people as trash. It's still unwise to label any people as trash though, no matter how vile they are - they are generally mentally damaged in one way or another, but primarily just through brainwashing and a lack of ability to think for themselves (the exact same defect that makes people do evil in the name of religion). We should aim to help cure such people rather than just condemning them.

@David_Cooper so your argument is that it's ok to be racist as long as you are racist against your own race? are you serious?

Where do people that are 1/2 two different races fall? Do you believe they can then be racist against both races whose blood they share? So, for example, if President Obama had called someone "white trash" would it have been ok since he's 1/2 white? And, if, let's say, Meghan Markle called someone the "n" word or even "black trash", would it be ok since she's half black? Is it ok if she's calls her dad "white trash"?

I can't wait to hear what type of racist speech you believe a person who is 1/4 white, 1/4 black, 1/4 Asian, and 1/4 Native American is entitled to make. By your reasoning, they have the right insult just about everyone with racist slurs.

@David_Cooper Its not in fact i spoke out against racism but, my post was likely reported by a racist and the Facebook Algorithm hit a false positive and with humans verifying reports and currently no way of contesting reports I was banned

Trump supporter Much? How the hell is that Hate Speech? I simply stated a fact

@SkotlandSkye No, my argument is that it isn't racist at all if you're describing people of your own race. People of mixed race using that kind of expression could be putting themselves in a less sound position as they could be interpreted as racists who are distancing themselves from part of their ancestry. In your Obama example, it would be easy for him to be seen as 100% black because anyone who isn't 100% white tends to be described as black, so he could get away with saying "black trash" more easily than "white trash", but it wouldn't be wise for him to use either expression. If he was to say "mixed-race trash", that would remove all question of him being racist. In your Markle example, she looks fully white, so it would look terrible if she used the expression "black trash" or the N word. I can't see why she'd call her dad "white trash" either because he isn't trash.

"By your reasoning, they have the right insult just about everyone with racist slurs."

No - by my reasoning, you only have the right to use racist words and expressions about your own race - it has to be clear that you are in that category so that it's clear that you are not being racist by using the expression. You also need to have sound justification for putting the race term in there in the first place - it has to be there to make some kind of valid point. In the case of white people referring to people as "white trash", the are typically doing so to make the point that their own race has just as much "trash" in it as any other race and that there is no white superiority. That also serves as an endorsement of people of all other races, directly attacking white racists' use of "black trash" where they are trying to attach the word "trash" to all black people. That is why a white person referring to "white trash" is actually an opponent of racists and should not be condemned for doing so.

Seems flimsy as far as reasons for banning. Seems more like part of a reason, such as a pattern of behavior type thing.

AND You'd be wrong the Facebook Algorithm is a mess - so basically I commented White Trash have been empowered by Trump, and then a White supremacist reports the post and the algorithm got a false positive and I was banned

@Ormonddude You got reported. They investigate reports. That takes time.

@david75090 Well its past 15 days and sort of ruined my holidays because I have a lot friends posting Holiday wishes and couldn't reply and when I try to contest it (there's a pop up that says if we made a mistake please tell us (link) the link opens and then it doesn't except the explanation but replies (Try again later) well I have been trying again for 19 days - Facebook has a issue

@Ormonddude Yeah. A lot of their automatic things are screwed up. Someone complained and you got "in the system". Probably no humans involved.

I am pretty sure the alt right used the opportunity to report liberal comments
