A Black Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) worker on Thursday filed a complaint claiming the social media giant's stated commitment to diversity and civil rights, including its support for the Black Lives Matter movement, masks widespread discrimination against Black workers.

Oscar Veneszee, a Washington D.C.-based operations program manager, said in a charge filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission that Facebook has shown a pattern of discrimination in hiring, performance evaluations, promotions and pay, and that Black workers fill just 1.5% of its technical positions.

Facebook should be banned
ill lastly say that i love seeing liberals eating liberals. liberals have been pushing this mindset so now they reap what they sow. enjoy having to hire based on skin color and not skills/merit . see how that is for business
"Black workers fill just 1.5% of its technical positions.".... that is because facebook hires based on merit and not skin color. rather than running around looting and rioting, study IT and you can get a job in IT. stop voting for democrats who are destroying the educational system in the cities.
ill add an asterisk, that facebook also hires based on political preferences. virtually their entire management staff is liberal/democrat.
like clockwork, facebook stands against globalist corruption through advertising pressures, and BLM sicks their fake racism allegations
they must not have paid their BLM protection fees... oh wait, facebooks crime was not being willing to conduction election interference on behalf of globalists/democrats
