Shaun King Briefly Suspended From Facebook After Posting Racist Email from Critic | Mediaite

Facebook hasn’t been having the best couple of days recently. First it trends a fake story about Megyn Kelly getting fired, then they temporarily ban an important historical image, now the social media site has apparently given Shaun King the boot after he reposted some profane hate-mail he recently got.

King is a well known figure in the #BlackLivesMatter community, and he frequently presents himself as an outspoken figure with his social justice columns for New York Daily News. On Friday afternoon, King tweeted out a notice that he has been locked out of his Facebook account for the rest of the day.
