Social Media Ban, Tracy L. Bell, Tracy L. Bell - Blog Talk Radio, Tracy L. Bell Host Conversations Of A Sistah

“When the media controls the narrative” Tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

The ReadyWriter

Last week Facebook and Instagram banned, the honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan from its platform.

The controversial Nation of Islam minister, was among several conservative voices banned from the social media platforms for being “dangerous,” according to Facebook’s ruling.

While there are some extreme voices dominating the social media platform, the same can be said for the voices and images on television. But because the media controls the narrative, they control the platforms.

Minister Farrakhan is the leader of the Nation of Islam which is considered a hate group. The Southern Poverty Law Center cited Farrakhan as “deeply racist, anti-Semitic and anti-LGBT.” Farrakhan’s Facebook page was deleted and all of its content purged from the social media giant’s servers, along with the social media pages of his religious organization.

“We’ve always banned individuals or organizations that promote or engage in violence and hate, regardless of ideology. The process for evaluating potential violators is extensive and it is what led us to our decision to remove these accounts today.”

Join host Tracy L. Bell tonight at 6:30 p.m. EST on “Conversations of A Sistah” for our commentary “When the media controls the narrative“.

A Strong Woman is & why you can miss her w/the BullShit…Tonight on Conversations Of A Sistah

The ReadyWriter

Strong women deal with their day head on without playing victim. They have problems just like everyone else, only they don’t make themselves look pitiful or point fingers. They stand and they deal, they face the world with their head held high because they carry the universe in their heart.

Strong women are independent and can be happy on their own. They may want a man but don’t need a man to solidify them. They can be very happy and fulfilled on their own and do not need a man to give them stability and/or peace in life.

Yet being strong is much more difficult than you think.
