Rapper's Fan Protests Reverses Facebook Video Ban
Facebook banned a video by Aboriginal rapper Colin Darcy, a.k.a. Caper, but his fans got the site to reconsider.
When Aboriginal rapper Colin Darcy, a.k.a. Caper, posted his video on Facebook, little did he know what kind of reaction it would get.
The performer’s song “How Would You Like To Be Me” disturbed the powers-that-be at Facebook so much that the social media site pulled the posting and banned it altogether.
Avid fans rallied round Darcy and their protests did not fall on deaf ears, according to the Australian newspaper The Advertiser.
Apparently, the song that was recorded by the Southern Australian native contained racial slurs like “black boong” and “black niggas” that Darcy says were words that he overheard during a conversation at a nearby table in a local pizza bar.
