Twitter has purposefully decided to start using the word “suspension” to refer to both suspensions and permabans, so it is never clear which they are talking about when they use the word “suspension.”
I don’t really understand how they can permanently ban a congressional candidate. But it appears that this is what has happened.
Twitter suspended the account of congressional candidate Paul Nehlen, the “alt-right” congressional candidate who has associated himself with white supremacists.
The reason for the suspension is currently unclear, and Nehlen has not yet spoken out about it on Facebook, his other primary means of communication. But Wisconsin news site Channel 3000 speculated that it may have had to do with a Photoshopped tweet superimposing the head of “Cheddar Man,” a dark-skinned 9,000-year-old Mesolithic man “rebuilt” from the DNA of a skeleton in southwest England, on the body of Meghan Markle, the fiancee of Great Britain’s Prince Harry.
Twitter has in the past few months done “sweeps” of racist and abusive Twitter accounts as part of its bid to make the website more user-friendly.
The tweet engendered controversy in the U.S. and U.K., to which Nehlen responded on Sunday morning.
“Publishing an article disappearing whites or dispossessing whites of their homelands is wrong; made worse when claiming ‘science’ to ‘prove’ whites never existed,” he wrote. “I made a joke of it. It’s not a laughing matter, so I chose to laugh about it.”
Nehlen, who is running in a Republican primary to unseat Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, was previously suspended from Twitter for a week after the social media network said he made anti-Semitic posts.
If he’s suspended for saying that a Negress looks like Cheddar Man that this is confusing.
As I had understood it, the Negroes are proud to be compared to Cheddar Man.
In fact, it appears as though the entire reason they made the Cheddar Man mock-up with black skin (something they had no ability to determine through science, given that neither the genes for whiteness nor those for blackness were present in the DNA sample) was to provide comfort to Negroes.
So how then can it possibly be an offense to compare the woman who is about to become the single most prominent black British person ever with this new revolutionary symbol of blackness?
I would think that most black people would look at the Cheddar Man/Markle photoshop and say “das rite.”

Point being: Nehlen wasn’t actually banned/”suspended” for offending black people, he was banned for talking about Jews.
The ADL is the company in charge of banning people on Twitter when it comes to Jewish offense. They have been doing that since last year.

But the ADL is a 501(c)(3), and they’re not technically allowed to involve themselves in politics, i.e. they’re not allowed to have a politician banned for talking about Jews. So, they waited for him to do something that allegedly offended black people, and allowed him to be banned for that by whoever is on black people watch on the Twitter censorship board – which historically has been @jack himself, who doesn’t care about people talking about Jews but does care about blacks having their feelings hurt.
This is similar to what happened when the Daily Stormer was kicked off of the internet, with all services collectively organizing against us.
Hopefully this is just another temporary suspension.
Or perhaps that isn’t hopeful.
Paul Nehlen is pushing for legislation that blocks Twitter and Facebook from censoring people – it is called “Shall Not Censor.” I think it should technically be “Shalt Not Censor,” but I support it nonetheless.

He being banned from the platform over a joke certainly goes a long way towards proving the necessity of this legislation.
