A former Facebook employee is criticizing the social media giant over its apparent lack of diversity, arguing the company’s population of Black employees doesn’t adequately represent its Black consumer base.
In a note published Tuesday, Mark S. Luckie accused Facebook of having what he called a “Black people problem.” Luckie, who served as the website’s Strategic Partner Manager for Global Influencers before quitting this month, described his unique experience working at a company where the “disenfranchisement of black people” online mirrors the marginalization of its Black workers.
