Ex-Facebook manager: black staffers face discrimination and exclusion

Mark S Luckie alleges racism against African American employees and says site is biased against black users

A former Facebook manager has accused the company of "failing" its black employees, saying they face widespread discrimination and exclusion and that the social network is biased against its black users.

A letter from Mark S Luckie, who recently stepped down as strategic partner manager for global influencers, provided a detailed account of racism and prejudice at the embattled Silicon Valley corporation, noting that "in some buildings, there are more 'Black Lives Matter' posters than there are actual black people".
