‘More BLM posters than actual black people’: Former employee calls out Facebook’s ‘workplace racism’

A black Facebook employee’s post alleging racial discrimination at the social media giant has gone viral, depicting a racially tone-deaf company and challenging the "progressive" Silicon Valley company’s public image.

Mark Luckie shared the message with Facebook management and employees earlier this month after leaving his post as Strategic Partner Manager for Global Influencers focused on Underrepresented Voices. On Tuesday, unsatisfied with the response from management – who dismissed his experience as not typical of Facebook’s black community – he shared it with the rest of the world.

Black employees hold just two percent of leadership positions and one percent of technical roles at Facebook. A concerted recruitment effort starting in 2016 helped increase the overall percentage of black employees from two percent to four percent, but Luckie's post indicates they have a long way to go before reality matches rhetoric. “In some buildings, there are more ‘Black Lives Matter’ posters than there are actual black people,” he wrote.
