Twitter Censoring Conservatives

I’ve stumbled onto something here today. I was going to follow CNSNews.Com on Twitter, but was shown this image.

My ears instantly stood up. Why in the hell would a news service have their accounts suspended. CNS is little more than a Washington Post with a focus on stories important to conservatives. They aren’t known to peddle hate, conspiracy, or lies. After some tweeting with some media people I know we were able to track down CNSNews.Com’s Kevin Eder on Facebook to get some more info.

Twitter also suspended the MRC account and Kevin’s account along with the CNSNews account. After much speculation Kevin seems to think he’s figured it out.

Apparently it is against the rules to post content from different accounts simultaneously. I guess I’ll have to stop doing that (i’ve only done it once or twice…) if and when I get the accounts back. What a bummer.

You’ll notice the comments below that statement show great skepticism that this is the real reason for the suspension.

Perhaps conservatives are just too used to being the victims of censorship on social media sites, and are jumping to conclusions. Perhaps this is just another example of censorship of conservatives. It is hard to ignore that liberals get away with whatever they want on social media while conservatives are banned nearly instantly for the same activity.  Given that so many people actively post from simultaneous accounts on Twitter with no problems this seems highly suspect.

Excellent Commentary On Blacks Using Race As An Excuse To Be Jerks

Readers of Needs of the Many know I haven’t been on the racial guilt bandwagon … ever. If you’re an ass, you’re an ass. If you’re a success, you’re as success … that should be applauded.  I recently wrote a very popular post about how I reject the term “reverse racism.”

The simple fact is that a major portion of the black community uses their race to get away with mediocrity, and it is an insult to the great successes of the black community … which are numerous. It’s also in direct contradiction to what Dr. King advocated.  Bill Cosby, Walter Williams, William Owens, and Juan Williams are just a few of the prominent members of the black community trying to point out this nonsense to their peers while at the same time trying to get black people to live up to their true potential.

I recently ran across a tremendous article illustrating a social worker’s ordeal in working with a black woman who was a victim simply because she was black. Whether you read it now or later … read it.

Modern blacks aren’t victims of society. In most cases modern whites are … as a matter of policy no less. That doesn’t mean that blacks, and other minorities, don’t face racism in their lives. However, whites experience racism as well. Often it is government instituted racism.  Any member of any race will likely face racism towards their race at some point in life.  All occurrences should be shunned equally.  Just like we should all be treated equally … at least based on our race.
