According to a report from Bloomberg, Black civil rights leaders who participated in a conference call with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg walked away afterward disappointed and stunned at the tech billionaires seeming inability to understand issues that impact African-Americans.
The report notes that part of the discussion involved Zuckerbergs decision to ignore and dismiss comments made by Donald Trump about police brutality protesters with one Black leader calling the execs explanation incomprehensible.
According to Bloombergs Jeff Green, Mark Zuckerberg hosted a nearly hour-long video call with U.S. civil rights leaders to discuss ongoing issues around his companys policies as they relate to race, elections and other topics, before adding it didnt go well based on comments from Color of Change President Rashad Robinson.
In an interview, Robinson lamented,
the problem with my ongoing conversations with Mark, is that I feel like I spent a lot of time, and my colleagues spent a lot of time, explaining to him why these things are a problem, and I think he just very much lacks the ability to understand it.
