Twitter Has Just 49 Black Employees And Jesse Jackson Is Mad

The Daily Caller reports:

Out of Twitter’s 2,910 U.S. employees, only 49 (1.7 percent) are black, and that fact has black activists led by Rev. Jesse Jackson racing to condemn the company.

Jackson, who has been pressuring tech companies for years to hire more blacks, told The Guardian black Americans are “becoming intolerant” of Twitter’s slow growth in diversity.

Twitter’s tiny black workforce comes despite a vocal pledge by the company to boost its diversity quotient. A year ago, the company announced a plan to build “a Twitter we can be proud of” by increasing the number of women and non-Asian minorities hired at the company.

Numbers for other minorities are similarly low. There are only 68 Hispanic workers and a puny three American Indians.

The great moments of the Democrat party.
