A former Facebook employee accused the company of having "a black people problem" in a note published publicly on Tuesday on the social network.

Mark Luckie, who is black, said Facebook's population of black employees is not representative of its black user base.

"There is often more diversity in Keynote presentations than the teams who present them," Luckie wrote in the note, which he originally shared with Facebook employees on Nov. 8.

"In some buildings, there are more 'Black Lives Matter' posters than there are actual black people. Facebook can't claim that it is connecting communities if those communities aren't represented proportionately in its staffing."

Luckie's note provides an inside look at what it's like to be black inside of Facebook, but it is not the first time Facebook's lack of diversity has been exposed.

"You can build something that works, that people want to use, but you can't actually make all the right decisions if among the builders there's not enough diversity and perspective," Facebook's head of diversity Maxine Williams told CNBC in July.

  I can understand how people can feel that way over appearances, and, if there is a sufficient number of qualified applicants who are not hired due to skin color, then, the company does have a problem. I worked in a tech field for 40 years, and I saw qualified people of all different races, creeds, and nationalities, and I also know what happens when you put people into tech jobs just to balance quotas, when they are not qualified. Everyone else ends up doing their work for them, as they are too far behind the training curve.

  Just because someone uses an app does not mean that they are qualified to create, code, debug, update, or maintain said piece of software

  Sounds like he wants affirmative action......maybe...just maybe, they hire those that applied and were qualified. Why does it have to representative of the company's user base?

  I'm sure Facebook will fix their diversity problem just as soon as the NFL and NBA fix their diversity problem.

  The population of users is not representative of the population of workers with the skill set to perform the job. It's not supposed to match.

    Affirmative action is systemic and legal discrimination.

    I read this as he wants his buddies to be able to get a job at his place of employment but they aren't qualified enough, so he is taking a different route.

    What does the user demographic have to do with the employee demographic??? False equivalency.

    Am Hispanic. Am an Engineer. Whey they hired me, they did so because of my qualifications, my experience, my knowledge NOT because I was Hispanic. I remember there were like 200 applicants for that job.

    Why doesn't this person ask to be on the hiring committee or hiring team? There may not be as many diverse candidates as he thinks. And if there are, he can play a role in helping them find employment at Facebook.

    OK, so this guy is calling for people to be hired solely on their color of skin. But what if those people aren't applying? You can't hire them if they don't apply, but also you can't hire them if they aren't qualified.

    Since when does the employee population of a business need to be representative of its customer base? Sure, it can be beneficial, but is it a must? Absolutely not. If it were, where's the outcry that Pampers is run by adults? I know, I know. It's not a parallel comparison. But really, to make the claim that one demographic can't serve another effectively is in and of itself a discriminatory statement.

    America was not founded on the backs of hiring people because they are ethnic, it was founded on people that wanted to work hard and be hired on the merits of their character.
