The couple posted a video on @pechenka_amg Instagram partially in English and partially in Russian talking about the situation with their blocked images. The Russian part of the video stated that real racism was on behalf of Instagram for banning and deleting images from their feeds and not blocking users wishing them death. Well these are two separate issues. Deleting your racist image is in no way racism. Not blocking hate speech and death threats is the fault of Instagram but the majority of the thousands of comments under the couple’s images say “BLM” “disgrace” and things alike.
