Twitter reportedly locked a black sports journalist out of his account after he criticized a Black Lives Matter co-founder for buying a ritzy home in a mostly white neighborhood.
Jason Whitlock says Twitter blocked him over a tweet pointing out the demographics of Topanga Canyon, the Los Angeles enclave where Black Lives Matter leader Patrisse Cullors recently snapped up a $1.4 million home, according to reports.
Whitlock showed fellow journalist Ryan Glasspiegel the Friday email he received from Twitter about the offending post, which said Topanga Canyon “has a black population of 1.4%.”
“She’s with her people!” Whitlock wrote of Cullors, adding a link to a story about her real estate purchase on the celebrity blog Dirt.com.
Twitter appears to have removed the tweet and replaced it with a message saying the post “violated the Twitter Rules.”
To he** with twitter, Facebook, and the whole media!! They are all Libtards!!
