So if you see a racist post, making derogatory remarks against your race and you report it, Facebook reviews it and says it meets community standards, then you send it for reconsideration and nothing happens for weeks... What are the next steps? Do you report Facebook to the Police or are they immune? I read many times that someone posted something on Twitter and police raided their home the next day. Can they do the same with Facebook for spreading racist messaging?

That would entirely depend on the local laws in your jurisdiction. In the US there is no law against creating or publishing racist content. (I'm not claiming that it's morally right to do that, but it's not illegal.)

  In my country it is illegal, so I would expect at very least an order to block the site if they are not going to comply with the law.

The next steps are you move on. Dwelling on a Facebook post for weeks is not healthy.

  I am trying to establish whether indeed we are living in a two tier society, where laws mostly only apply to the poor.
