Twitter Bans, Removes Verified Status of White Supremacists (thedailybeast.com)
After updating the rules of its verification program on Wednesday, Twitter has begun banning and removing verified check marks from white supremacist accounts. For example, white supremacists Richard Spencer and Charlottesville "Unite The Right" protest creator Jason Kessler had their verified statuses revoked today. The Daily Beast reports: The verified check mark was meant to denote "that an account of public interest is authentic," the company said in a series of tweets on Wednesday, but that "verification has long been perceived as an endorsement." "This perception became worse when we opened up verification for public submissions and verified people who we in no way endorse," a company spokesperson tweeted. Users can now lose their blue checkmarks for "inciting or engaging in harassment of others," "promoting hate and/or violence against, or directly attacking or threatening other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or disease," supporting people who promote those ideas, and a slew of other reasons.
protest the left deleting history and they pull the race card every time. i think its time we start deleting black history see how they like it.
You realize the Americans you're calling Nazis aren't actually Nazis, right?

You've got it backwards there. The left and far left have pushed on regular people to the point where left-wing politicians and academia have told, implied, and shamed people in general not to take pride in their country, culture, and so on. Then went on blaming them that all the ills in the world are their fault and so on. The backlash is growing because the left created their own enemy. That ranges in everything from those 'minorities' getting preferential treatment in the judicial system, to those minorities given a free pass to rape young girls for decades(see rotherham in the UK and other cities there). And the police being 'afraid of being labeled racist' as the reason that they did nothing. Or turning around and charging the rape victim with a hate crime, while letting her attacker go free.
If you don't think this is the way that it happened, you only need to look at media. With the various "cultural appropriation" garbage, or buildings being scrubbed of historical names because 'reasons' of whatever they might be. Political correctness was the start of this, people put up with it for a long time. But even people who are browbeaten, because they can't do something for "fear of being labeled a racist" will eventually have enough.
Om, nomnomnom...
