That's according to former employee Mark Luckie, who recently made public an \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/notes/mark-s-luckie/facebook-is-failing-its-black-employees-and-its-black-users/1931075116975013/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">internal memo\u003c/a> he wrote to the company about diversity problems within Facebook. Luckie worked for 14 months as a partnerships manager at the Menlo Park-based company before quitting in early November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luckie says he began noticing disparities in how black employees were treated soon after starting his new position.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I was working very diligently, working with great partners and a lot of energy,\" Luckie says. \"But I got a lot of pushback on a managerial level, and I quickly figured out that it wasn't just me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other black employees, Luckie says, started talking with him about their experiences. They’d tell him managers were unfairly questioning their decisions, and some complained they were dissuaded from joining affinity groups for black employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The number of black employees at Facebook hovers around 4 percent, up from 2 percent in 2016. Luckie says Facebook has gotten better at hiring black people, but the culture has prevented them from sticking around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What you don’t see is that retention is preventing those numbers from being even higher,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of this, Luckie believes, bleeds over into the Facebook user experience. Over the years, black Facebook users have complained they are being unfairly censored, and in some cases their pages have been deleted or suspended — for fighting back against racism on the site. Luckie believes Facebook doesn’t have enough people of color working to help solve this problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are a lot of people that are being hired for diversity roles but they're not being included in team goals,\" Luckie says. \"Their work is being excluded from team launches and projects.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facebook does not dispute Luckie’s experience, but in a statement, spokesman Anthony Harrison says the company is working to be more inclusive and increase the range of perspectives among those who build their products.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We want to fully support all employees when there are issues reported and when there may be microbehaviors that add up,\" Harrison wrote. \"We are going to keep doing all we can to be a truly inclusive company.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This isn't the first time Luckie has left a tech company over issues of diversity and a lack of inclusion. Before Facebook, Luckie worked for Twitter, but left after becoming disenchanted by the widespread underrepresentation of faces of color.

That's according to former employee Mark Luckie, who recently made public an \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/notes/mark-s-luckie/facebook-is-failing-its-black-employees-and-its-black-users/1931075116975013/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">internal memo\u003c/a> he wrote to the company about diversity problems within Facebook. Luckie worked for 14 months as a partnerships manager at the Menlo Park-based company before quitting in early November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Luckie says he began noticing disparities in how black employees were treated soon after starting his new position.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I was working very diligently, working with great partners and a lot of energy,\" Luckie says. \"But I got a lot of pushback on a managerial level, and I quickly figured out that it wasn't just me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other black employees, Luckie says, started talking with him about their experiences. They’d tell him managers were unfairly questioning their decisions, and some complained they were dissuaded from joining affinity groups for black employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The number of black employees at Facebook hovers around 4 percent, up from 2 percent in 2016. Luckie says Facebook has gotten better at hiring black people, but the culture has prevented them from sticking around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What you don’t see is that retention is preventing those numbers from being even higher,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of this, Luckie believes, bleeds over into the Facebook user experience. Over the years, black Facebook users have complained they are being unfairly censored, and in some cases their pages have been deleted or suspended — for fighting back against racism on the site. Luckie believes Facebook doesn’t have enough people of color working to help solve this problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are a lot of people that are being hired for diversity roles but they're not being included in team goals,\" Luckie says. \"Their work is being excluded from team launches and projects.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facebook does not dispute Luckie’s experience, but in a statement, spokesman Anthony Harrison says the company is working to be more inclusive and increase the range of perspectives among those who build their products.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We want to fully support all employees when there are issues reported and when there may be microbehaviors that add up,\" Harrison wrote. \"We are going to keep doing all we can to be a truly inclusive company.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This isn't the first time Luckie has left a tech company over issues of diversity and a lack of inclusion. Before Facebook, Luckie worked for Twitter, but left after becoming disenchanted by the widespread underrepresentation of faces of color.

It’s a Bank of America ATM.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This machine, outside the East Palo Alto Government Center, is the only major bank presence in East Palo Alto, a city of nearly 30,000 residents. Maria Avilar is a regular customer of the ATM. “When it’s broke, I have to go to Redwood City or Palo Alto to take out money.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though Redwood City and Palo Alto are only a few miles away, depending on the traffic, the drive can take anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour. There is a San Mateo Credit Union in the city, but resident Mark Dinan believes there should be more choices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Money is kind of the foundation of the American economy and to not have access to banking is really bad,\" he says. Dinan owns his own business and uses Wells Fargo for banking -- the closest branch and ATM is 2 miles away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I mean yes, of course you have the option of using another ATM and paying a fee, but that's almost like a tax for living in East Palo Alto, which I don't think is right,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dinan says he has been asking Wells Fargo for years now to set up a branch office or ATM in East Palo Alto. So far, he hasn’t gotten a response. This summer, he decided to start an online petition, which he reads aloud:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We call on Wells Fargo to both provide ATMs and a branch office in East Palo Alto, and to give the same level of service to residents of East Palo Alto that is provided to residents in Palo Alto, Menlo Park and other neighboring communities.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When we contacted Wells Fargo about the petition, they sent us this statement:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We continuously evaluate our branch network, and our physical distribution strategy is driven by customer behavior. While branches continue to be important in serving our customers' needs, our investment in digital has also enabled us to seamlessly serve our customers online and in our mobile apps, and their growing usage of mobile banking for their day-to-day banking needs continues to reduce transactions in our branches.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn't always this way in East Palo Alto. Residents like Eric Cody remember when there was a Bank of America where the McDonald's now sits on University Avenue. And in 2011, the only remaining bank branch, California Bank & Trust, closed. According to news \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2011/06/01/east-palo-altos-only-bank-to-close-in-august/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reports\u003c/a> at the time, the bank was unable to turn a profit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Maeve Elise Brown, executive director of Housing and Economic Rights Advocates, says in the case of Wells Fargo, they're missing the point. Having a presence in a community, she says, is just as important.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's not the same as having a banker who knows you personally, based on knowledge about who you are and how you function in the community and wants to extend you credit.

It’s a Bank of America ATM.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This machine, outside the East Palo Alto Government Center, is the only major bank presence in East Palo Alto, a city of nearly 30,000 residents. Maria Avilar is a regular customer of the ATM. “When it’s broke, I have to go to Redwood City or Palo Alto to take out money.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though Redwood City and Palo Alto are only a few miles away, depending on the traffic, the drive can take anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour. There is a San Mateo Credit Union in the city, but resident Mark Dinan believes there should be more choices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Money is kind of the foundation of the American economy and to not have access to banking is really bad,\" he says. Dinan owns his own business and uses Wells Fargo for banking -- the closest branch and ATM is 2 miles away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I mean yes, of course you have the option of using another ATM and paying a fee, but that's almost like a tax for living in East Palo Alto, which I don't think is right,\" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dinan says he has been asking Wells Fargo for years now to set up a branch office or ATM in East Palo Alto. So far, he hasn’t gotten a response. This summer, he decided to start an online petition, which he reads aloud:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We call on Wells Fargo to both provide ATMs and a branch office in East Palo Alto, and to give the same level of service to residents of East Palo Alto that is provided to residents in Palo Alto, Menlo Park and other neighboring communities.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When we contacted Wells Fargo about the petition, they sent us this statement:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We continuously evaluate our branch network, and our physical distribution strategy is driven by customer behavior. While branches continue to be important in serving our customers' needs, our investment in digital has also enabled us to seamlessly serve our customers online and in our mobile apps, and their growing usage of mobile banking for their day-to-day banking needs continues to reduce transactions in our branches.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn't always this way in East Palo Alto. Residents like Eric Cody remember when there was a Bank of America where the McDonald's now sits on University Avenue. And in 2011, the only remaining bank branch, California Bank & Trust, closed. According to news \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2011/06/01/east-palo-altos-only-bank-to-close-in-august/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reports\u003c/a> at the time, the bank was unable to turn a profit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Maeve Elise Brown, executive director of Housing and Economic Rights Advocates, says in the case of Wells Fargo, they're missing the point. Having a presence in a community, she says, is just as important.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's not the same as having a banker who knows you personally, based on knowledge about who you are and how you function in the community and wants to extend you credit. Not just, \"Hey this person deposited $5,000 a month for the last year,' \"she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is reflected, Brown believes, in the lack of mortgages that black and Latino people have applied for and are granted in East Palo Alto.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A search through a \u003ca href=\"https://www.consumerfinance.gov/data-research/hmda/explore#filters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">database\u003c/a> maintained by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau found that in the last four years only about 33 of the more than 400 mortgages issued in the city have been granted to black and Hispanic borrowers, a population that makes up about 80 percent of the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lack of banking options, says Brown, is a holdover from the region’s racist past -- when segregation and redlining were pervasive.

It really took me back,\" Brooks laughed during a recent phone conversation. Brooks now lives in Sacramento and works as a program technician for the California Bureau of Automotive Repair. And he’s happy with what he does.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when I asked if it had ever crossed his mind back then, the possibility that he or his classmates or friends could be a part of creating technology in Silicon Valley, he got really quiet, and then said this:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Where I grew up at, I represent the area of people where we are just going to consume. So we get information, enough information so that we can perpetually consume and teach our kids how to consume, and the curriculum that we have leads to us consuming, not inventing and creating. And it’s a cog in the machine that keeps certain things in play.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Brooks says he’s proud that Jasmene Miranda is getting kids to think of themselves as more than passive consumers.
