Are social media channels on the Internet politically biased?
That’s the charge that Candace Owens of Red Pill Black makes in this well-thought-out and sensible clip, based on experiences she and others have had with Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. As viewers are probably aware, the rioting in places like Minneapolis, Minnesota and Ferguson, Missouri to a large degree has been encouraged up by Leftists, hand-in-hand with much of the mainstream media, which is happy to promote a single, cohesive, globalist narrative — that black people in America are oppressed and angry, and that they’re justified in committing violence against municipalities, police officers and even innocent bystanders.
Recently, Chanelle Helm, a leader of the Louisville, Kentucky chapter of Black Lives Matter (BLM) issued a “list of demands for white people” that she believes is valid, based on the historical experience of African-Americans in our country’s past. This, like previous calls by political leaders for reparations for slavery, largely ignores the fact that black people are currently equal in the eyes of the law and have just as many opportunities for success in the United States as any other people. Helm’s outrageous list incredulously included insistences that white people simply give up their real estate and other possessions to blacks summarily and voluntarily. Even more incredulously, some mainstream news outlets did not see this list as racist, offensive or ignorant and were happy to promote it.
Owens, who was critical of Helm’s list, had a video explaining this criticism censored by YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. Why is it that these media platforms only want to accept one point of view? Isn’t this akin to the fascist propaganda approach promoted in 1930s Nazi Germany? Watch as Owens makes a great case that there are disturbing similarities.
