    I’ve tolerated Mark Zuckerberg way to long. He placed a permanent app “Lift Black Voices” in my lists without my knowledge or consent.
    I’m for equally between different races but when your attempts of social justice elevate one race above another I will not consent. Why not call the app “Lift all Voices”.
    All this socialism that is creeping in our society is to divide us as a nation.
    I deleted Facebook and can be found on parler FreeTalk and here at Tapatalk.

    I've never been on any of those platforms. This is as far as I go.

    Nope, not here or in this household. :handshake:

    99 still can't believe that I participate in a forum, for that matter.

    It's more racists promoting racism, IMO. Sadly, mostly to greedily monetize, despite their claims otherwise. Especially in Facebook's case. Follow the $$$$$.

    I have facebook on my most-used laptop, but not my phones. Mostly to see what some relatives/friends are up to every now and then. Most of the other things on facebook I don't use, even Marketplace, mostly because it's gotten unusable compared to what it used to be.

    It’s been over 3 years since I deleted my FB profile, and I have no regrets. No more Instagram either. I stopped going on YouTube for a while too, but there’s a lot of informative stuff on there that I can pick and choose, and disregard the rest.

    Agree with all said here.
    Even with our family composition, neither one of us supports promoting one race over another, current generations taking on guilt or reperations for past generations screwups.
    We are to love everyone as His creation, as He loves them (and us).
    Its something about forgiveness and healing that we're missing.
    And love.

    Congratulations to anyone who has served time in fb jail. It tells me that most folks have different opinions and freedom to express their opinions. Censorship is down right unamerican.

    Google is just as bad. They are always recognizing someone’s achievements just above their search bar (and deservedly so). From what I’ve gleaned from clicking it 20 or 30 times, I’m not certain white males are yet intelligent enough to tie their shoes
