I was suspended from Facebook for 24 hours on January 17, 2021, for posting material in violation of community standards.
Nigger Blood
The post consisted of the text of my short poem "Nigger Blood":
Did raping the Capitol wash out the nigger blood?
The post included an image with the same text.
My response
I was annoyed at first, but I was not in the least surprised. I used ugly, violent words — the ugliest and most violent I could think of.
I stand by all of those violent and ugly words, be it known.
I think the ugliness that I describe must be as true tomorrow as it is today for a long time to come.
