Facebook bans ads promoting weapon accessories, blocks events near White House, Capitol ahead of inauguration

Facebook is temporarily banning ads that promote weapon accessories and protective equipment ahead of Inauguration Day through at least Jan. 22.

"We already prohibit ads for weapons, ammunition and weapon enhancements like silencers. But we will now also prohibit ads for accessories such as gun safes, vests and gun holsters in the US," Facebook said.

We don't want someone to bring one of those dangerous 800 pounds gun safe to the inauguration ...

It's amazing to see that those tech people think their actions make a real difference in the real world.

"Yep, they can't see holster ads 2 days before the inauguration. There's no chance they will carry a gun there now."

You need to get over here, Sylvain, while there is still some America left to enjoy

In my opinion, yeah. It kinda does to a degree. I can respect someone being attracted to some people, but not others; but the caveat to that, is that it baffles me, someone of a particular race automatically excludes people from their same race.

So if a straight white man doesn't want to date a black transgender woman, does that make him transphobic, or racist? I can no longer keep up what is an "ist" or a "phobe" anymore.

Great question.
Anybody in here have a Gender Studies major with an Ethnic Studies minor?

Yeah, I didn't think so.

Are you even reading my posts to discern what they mean? The point that I thought seemed obvious, was along these lines. If a White guys doesn’t like black women, that’s fine. He may simply not find her attractive. That’s understandable. Now if he says he doesn’t like white women, and will only date black women, that’s odd, and I don’t quite understand it. It seems indicative of bias against one’s self. You following?

Just a quick question. Can a black person be a white supremacist?

If they possess the requisite amount of self loathing, I suppose so.

But I doubt such persons account for the surge in votes for Trump among non white voters.

People like what they like. The guy you know who doesn’t like Black women; does he make racially disparaging remarks about them. Is it that he doesn’t care for the culture? I dunno. I’d kinda tend not to infer anything untoward about it. Maybe white women are just more attractive to him. Who cares?

I'm following but I don't get it. It's not bias if someone doesn't like to date someone of another race, but it's bias against one's self not to want to date your own? Couldn't it simply be a matter of preference? It doesn't have to be bias against one's self to like something different. I'm not going to be dating a man, doesn't mean I'm biased against myself.

Bill Maher is an odd guy who I've never quite understood either.

I tried that. Maybe I keep missing. I generally like the new forum software. It’s not all that friendly to small screens and big thumbs though.

Then you need to either get a larger screen or smaller thumbs

Prolly cheaper than buying a bigger phone. Plus, I don't have to pick through the glove section to find XL.

Why would democrats riot in prison just because one is being sworn in as POTUS?

I’ve dated black women and can speak from experience... some women, like some men, are just ****ing nuts, color doesn’t play a role in it. People are individuals, and they (we) all have our perks and our quarks. I’m not sure I’ve ever met a man that’s said “I wouldn’t date Rihanna, she’s black”...


I have heard “I wouldn’t date Rihanna, she gave Chris brown herpes”

Because they know he’s gonna let them out soon?
