Double standard of hate speech on social media

A 911 operator in Texas, April Sims. was recently fired from her position for making disparaging comments about black people on Facebook; think she would have been fired for making similar comments about short people?  No.

We all know there is a double standard going on!  Certain groups can be targeted and receive no recourse, while others will no doubt get immediate and swift results.

Bill O' Reilly recently addressed this issue on his program (5/29).

He makes mention of Facebook's policy about hate speech and who is protected; no doubt that Twitter mirrors theirs.
