Instagram's "Mute White People" button

Instagram didn't create it, but they're allowing it, and it's popping up all over the site.
Apparently it was created by Refinery29. If you don't recognize that, it's essentially a feminist site that tries to be a Jezebel clone, only with fashion tips.
This is the button:
Oh, and Refinery29 is owned by.... wait for it... Vice Media.
So Instagram is letting the scummiest media operation in the world do this stuff, but regularly shuts down stickers from groups like the Heritage Foundation.
And yes, as others put it, they'd never allow something like "silence blacks".

BREAKING: Instagram & Facebook have removed the ‘Mute White People’ sticker
The real question is whether or not the FOUR companies that were complicit in publishing this racist gif will make a statement

If it is offensive if reversed, it should be offensive as is.
The golden rule isn't hard, we would all be better to remember it once in awhile.

I thought silence is violence.

The inventor in your last photo on the left is a black man, Daniel Hale Williams.
This doesn't detract from your point, but give us credit here.

When will Instagram release the “Mute Instagram“ button?
Posted on 7/13/20 at 11:38 pm to DesScorp
I agree with you 100% but I also have to admit that Pizza Show on Vice is pretty awesome. I watch it on YouTube a lot. It has nothing to with Vice and everything to do with my love for pizza.

Just mute a bunch of white liberals and see how fast that shite goes down.

In complete fairness, I know many white people I’d like to mute.
