    Does anyone here actually use Instagram?

    I don't have a "Mute White People" button. Seems like inaccurate news?

    So echo chambers are your thing? No need to hear any views that don't support your sole focus, you might actually learn something.

    ‘Mute White People’ Button Begins Appearing On Instagram ...

    https://thewashingtonsentinel.com/mute-white...
    Jul 14, 2020 · Conservative Katie Pavlich posted an image today showing that Instagram has added a new “mute white people” sticker in its stories feature. “Instagram has a ‘mute white people’ button in stories,” she tweeted simply. The image shows a megaphone with the words “mute white people.”







    ‘Mute White People’ button added to Instagram… – CITIZEN ...

    19 hours ago · GIPHY moderates which GIFs are approved to be shared in its library and, subsequently, platforms, such as Instagram. Instagram has a “mute white people” button in stories �� pic.twitter.com/GBDwqxqRAb — Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) July 13, 2020






    Social media platform Instagram quickly removed a “Mute White People” sticker following massive backlash mostly from conservatives, including criticism from presidential son Donald Trump Jr.


    Though the sticker, which was created by Refinery29, is no longer available on the platform, it nevertheless remains available at the GIPHY website. Like Instagram, GIPHY is owned by Facebook, the Mark Zuckerberg-owned platform.


    The sticker went viral after Fox News contributor and Townhall editor Katie Pavlich found it and tweeted a screenshot from her phone July on Monday, writing, “Instagram has a ‘mute white people’ button in stories.’”

    Well, would you go along with a mute black racist/nationalist button?

    Or are you one of those people who believes that black people simply are incapable of being racist, because of a lack of the requisite power?

    If I create a Mute Black People button and I tell you it's really about only racist/nationalist blacks, will you use as your avatar? If so, I'll make one for you.

    You're making a false equivalency based on race alone. To say 'mute white people' IS pretty silly and does sound racist, but I stand by my statement that it was probably aimed at white supremacists.
