‘All he ever do was tell the truth’: Snoop Dogg enraged at Facebook’s Farrakhan ban

Aging rap star and pot enthusiast Snoop Dogg has marched gat-first into the Facebook censorship debate, slamming the platform for banning controversial black nationalist Louis Farrakhan.

“All he ever do was tell the truth,” Snoop told his 32 million Instagram followers in a video posted on Thursday. “I stand with him. Ban me motherf**ker, because I’m gonna keep posting his s**t.”

The ‘Gin & Juice’ gangsta rapper then encouraged his followers to keep posting content from the Nation of Islam leader.

“Show some love to a real brother,” Snoop said. “Put up some minister Farrakhan footage and show what he really be talking about. [Facebook] can’t ban all of us!”

Farrakhan was banned from Facebook and Instagram (also owned by the Menlo Park-based company) earlier on Thursday, for allegedly violating the platform’s hate speech policies. In a sweeping purge that enraged the right and delighted some on the left, the accounts of InfoWars, Alex Jones, Paul Joseph Watson, Milo Yiannopoulos, Laura Loomer, and Paul Nehlen were also banned.

Facebook referred to the figures banned as “extremists” and “dangerous.”

Farrakhan has been a prominent voice in the African-American community for decades, even meeting with former President Obama in 2005. The militant preacher has courted controversy throughout his career for overt anti-Semitic statements, and for allegedly chanting“Death to America” while on a visit to Iran last year.
