Facebook says Faith Goldy video doesn't break new policy on white nationalism
Now it's unclear what that new policy actually means, if anything. On Tuesday, HuffPost showed a Facebook spokesperson a video on Facebook in which Canadian white nationalist Faith Goldy laments white"replacement" and demands that Jews and people of colour repay the white European countries they've"invaded."
"We didn't originally apply the same rationale to expressions of white nationalism and white separatism because we were thinking about broader concepts of nationalism and separatism — things like American pride and Basque separatism, which are an important part of people's identity," the company wrote in its March 27 press release.
As images of white women flash across the screen, Goldy calls on her viewers to"help us stop this race from vanishing," asking,"Will you just walk away?" She even appears to troll Facebook's policy, sarcastically calling herself a"staunch black nationalist" in the caption of her video and featuring a photo of a woman throwing up the OK sign, here a blatant wink to white...
The thing is, Goldy's content does promote white nationalism, almost exclusively. The concept of white"replacement" described in the video is a white nationalist talking point and conspiracy theory shared by prominent white supremacists all over the world.
