To Most Managers, Not ‘an Issue Worth Tackling’

“On November 8, Mark S. Luckie shared a lengthy memo with his co-workers before leaving his job at Facebook,” Noah Kulwin wrote Monday for New York magazine. “In his 2,500-word note, which he released publicly this past Tuesday, Luckie wrote that Facebook has ‘a black people problem,‘ and that it actively discriminates against both black Facebook users and its own black employees.

“Luckie, who previously worked for the Washington Post, Reddit, and Twitter, identified a wide range of problems at Facebook and spelled out his own list of recommendations for how to solve them, based on his own perspective and on those of his black colleagues. His role at Facebook was to work with celebrities and social media personalities who were ‘Underrepresented Voices,’ and he worked out of the company’s Menlo Park headquarters on the San Francisco Peninsula.

“Luckie writes in his note that black employees are saddled with the extra responsibility of presenting the ‘minority’ perspective, and that HR often provides little relief when complaints are raised about the wider work environment.

“On his team, he found that limited resources stood in the way of his attempts to build relationships with people from underrepresented communities, which he says reflects a lack of interest from the executive level.

“In [a] phone interview with New York, Luckie elaborated on his note. He described being singled out by a Facebook campus security guard for an ID check, and his frustration with Facebook’s insistence that as many employees work out of the Menlo Park office as possible.

“ ‘For a lot of black people, Facebook would present a great opportunity, but they just don’t want to move to the Bay Area,’ Luckie said. ‘They don’t want to be the only black person in the room. They don’t want to be the only black person in their neighborhood.’

“You can read a condensed and edited version of New York’s conversation with Luckie below. . . .”

Taxpayers Pay $40M to Keep Confederate Tributes

“With centuries-old trees, manicured lawns, a tidy cemetery and a babbling brook, the Jefferson Davis Home and Presidential Library is a marvelously peaceful, green oasis amid the garish casinos, T-shirt shops and other tourist traps on Highway 90 in Biloxi, Mississippi . . . ,” Brian Palmer and Seth Freed Wessler report for the December issue of Smithsonian Magazine.

They also wrote, “[W]e asked the guide what she could tell us about slavery.

“Sometimes children ask about it, she said. ‘I want to tell them the honest truth, that slavery was good and bad.’ While there were some ‘hateful slave owners,’ she said, ‘it was good for the people that didn’t know how to take care of themselves, and they needed a job, and you had good slave owners like Jefferson Davis, who took care of his slaves and treated them like family. He loved them.’ . . .”

Palmer and Freed also wrote, “[W]e spent months investigating the history and financing of Confederate monuments and sites. Our findings directly contradict the most common justifications for continuing to preserve and sustain these memorials.

“First, far from simply being markers of historic events and people, as proponents argue, these memorials were created and funded by Jim Crow governments to pay homage to a slave-owning society and to serve as blunt assertions of dominance over African-Americans.

“Second, contrary to the claim that today’s objections to the monuments are merely the product of contemporary political correctness, they were actively opposed at the time, often by African-Americans, as instruments of white power.

“Finally, Confederate monuments aren’t just heirlooms, the artifacts of a bygone era. Instead, American taxpayers are still heavily investing in these tributes today. We have found that, over the past ten years, taxpayers have directed at least $40 million to Confederate monuments — statues, homes, parks, museums, libraries and cemeteries — and to Confederate heritage organizations. . . .”

Deals for Tamron Show Reach 50% of Households

“Tamron Hall’s new syndicated talk-show has been cleared to reach 50% of U.S. TV households, thanks to a new deal struck between the program’s producer, Disney, and Hearst Television,” Brian Steinberg reported Monday for Variety.

“Hearst agreed to run the new program, slated to appear in 2019, in 24 different markets. The television stations include WCVB-TV Boston, WMOR-TV Tampa, WESH-TV Orlando, KCRA-TV Sacramento, WTAE-TV Pittsburgh, WBAL-TV Baltimore, KMBC-TV Kansas City, WLWT-TV Cincinnati, WISN-TV Milwaukee and WPBF-TV West Palm Beach, among others.

“ABC Owned Television Stations Group has already committed to show the program. . . .”

Hall, the first black woman to co-host “Today,” left NBC and MSNBC in February 2017 as NBC planned to make room for former Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly, who took over “Today’s” third hour, co-hosted by Hall and Al Roker.

Kelly was fired in October after she set off a firestorm of criticism inside and outside of NBC when she said it was OK when she was growing up for white people to dress up as black characters and there was nothing wrong with donning blackface.

Memphis Reporter Wins Another Deportation Stay

“An appeals court issued a ruling Thursday in favor of Manuel Duran, the reporter for Memphis Spanish-language media who has spent more than seven months in immigration detention,” Daniel Connolly reported for the Commercial Appeal in Memphis.

“The ruling by the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta grants Duran an indefinite stay of deportation. Up to this point, Duran’s stay of deportation lasted only until the end of November.

“The court order doesn’t resolve the underlying question of whether Duran can remain in the United States.

“But U.S. Circuit Judge Beverly B. Martin, who wrote a ruling for the three-judge appeals panel, concluded Duran has made strong arguments in his favor.

“First, she wrote Duran has demonstrated that conditions have worsened for journalists in his native country, El Salvador, where violence against reporters taken place.

” ‘Given his intent to continue working as an investigative, anti-corruption journalist, there is a significant likelihood Mr. Duran-Ortega will be harmed if the government (deports) him to El Salvador,’ Martin wrote. . . .”

Duran “believes he was targeted because of his coverage of law enforcement’s collaboration with ICE in Memphis’s Latino community,” Alice Speri and Maryam Saleh reported Wednesday for the Intercept.

“Over the last year, a handful of activists from New York to Washington state have found themselves in the crosshairs of ICE. In some cases, like Duran’s, they’d had little to no contact with the agency for years, then found themselves facing deportation shortly after vocalizing criticism of the Trump administration’s anti-immigrant crackdown. . . .”

ICE Activity Depresses Latino Student Enrollment

“In communities where Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers formed partnerships with local police to enforce immigration laws, the number of Hispanic students enrolled in public schools fell significantly — by nearly 10 percent in just two years,” Lauren Camera reported Monday for U.S. News and World Report.

“Using K-12 enrollment data in 55 counties from 2000 to 2011, when such ICE partnerships first began, researchers at Stanford University found that they displaced more than 300,000 Hispanic students, mostly younger, elementary-school students and mostly U.S. citizens.

“The findings, published earlier this fall in the National Bureau of Economic Research, provide ‘robust evidence,’ the researchers said, ‘that partnerships between ICE and local law-enforcement agencies led to substantial reductions in Hispanic student enrollment.’ . . .”

Bush Coverage Dominated by Contrast With Trump

“Shortly before midnight on Friday, George H.W. Bush died at home in Houston. He was 94. Bush’s death set the stage for a weekend of tribute,” Jon Allsop reported Monday for Columbia Journalism Review.

“Although some media coverage of America’s 41st president (mostly in left-leaning outlets) was harshly critical, the majority was glowing and nostalgic. In between, nuanced depictions of a complicated life got crowded out. The tenor of the news cycle felt much as it did in August following the death of John McCain. . . .”

“In Bush’s case, that coverage has been dominated by favorable comparisons to President Trump. . . .”

However, the comparisons weren’t always flattering. Boston Globe columnist Renee Graham tweeted Sunday, “‏Like Nixon and Reagan, #GeorgeHWBush fostered the racist Southern Strategy. You can draw a straight line from his Willie Horton campaign ads to Donald Trump’s unvarnished vilification of immigrants of color.

“The Republican Party of 41 is the Republican Party of 45.”

On “Democracy Now!” on Tuesday, historian Greg Grandin, citing the invasion of Panama, compared Bush’s “easy resort to violence in the Third World” with Trump’s posture toward those countries. (On the same show, co-host Juan Gonzalez said “the war was highly sanitized in the U.S. media.”)

Allsop continued, “As the news filtered through, many outlets published their obituaries of Bush. Obituaries are a strange art — most big news organizations write them in advance then keep them in cold storage, particularly when subjects are advanced in years and/or have a serious medical condition (Bush announced, in 2012, that he was living with vascular parkinsonism, a mobility-limiting disease).

“Political obituaries, in particular, can thus feel suspended in time — infusing the historical period they cover with the assumptions and values of when they were written. When finally published, obituaries are updated to mirror the mood of the day — setting a narrative around a dead public figure that subsequent coverage tends to reinforce. . . .”

Marc Lamont Hill Sorry for Choice of Words

Temple University professor Marc Lamont Hill, let go as a CNN commentator on Thursday after a pro-Palestinian speech to the United Nations, wrote Saturday that he was “deeply sorry” that his remarks were interpreted as calling for Israel’s destruction.

“Throughout my speech, I spoke explicitly about the need for Israeli political reform, specifically as it pertains to Arab citizens of Israel,” Hill wrote for the Philadelphia Inquirer. “I also called for a redrawing of borders to the pre-1967 lines, as well as a greater attention to human rights for those living in the West Bank and Gaza. At the time, I believed that these demands made in the speech sufficiently reflected my belief in radical change within Israel, not a desire for its destruction.

“Clearly, they did not.

“I take seriously the voices of so many Jewish brothers and sisters, who have interpreted my remarks as a call to or endorsement of violence. Rather than hearing a political solution, many heard a dog-whistle that conjured a long and deep history of violence against Jewish people. Although this was the furthest thing from my intent, those particular words clearly caused confusion, anger, fear, and other forms of harm. For that, I am deeply sorry.

“As a communicator, I must take responsibility for the reception of my message. In this case, the final words of my speech became a dangerous and harmful distraction from my political analysis. Rather than talking about the plight of Palestinians, or engaging in tough but necessary conversations about a positive and successful way forward for both parties, the bulk of the conversation has been about my choice of words. To this extent, I did no favors to Israelis or Palestinians. For this too, I am deeply sorry. . . .”

Pioneering Bay Area Radio Host Found Dead

“Longtime Bay Area radio host Ray Taliaferro, who had been missing for several weeks in Kentucky, has been found dead, according to his family and authorities,” Annie Sciacca and Joseph Geha wrote Sunday, updated Monday, for the Bay Area News Group. “Taliaferro’s son, Raphael Taliaferro Jr., said that his body was found near the southern border of Illinois.

They also wrote, “Massac County [Ill.] Sheriff Ted Holder said last week that Ray Taliaferro was reported missing on the morning of Nov. 10 by his wife.

“Taliaferro, 79, had kept a residence in San Francisco, but he and his wife were visiting the city of Brookport in southern Illinois on Nov. 10, checking out property she had inherited, a family spokesman told this news organization last week. . . .

“Taliaferro became the first black talk-show host for a major market radio station (KNEW AM 910) in the U.S. in 1976. According to Bay Area News Group archives, he was also the head of the local chapter of the NAACP and was the first black member of San Francisco’s arts commission.

“The liberal Taliaferro hosted the KGO Newstalk AM-810 show from 1 to 5 a.m. for years, starting in 1986.

“Taliaferro was inducted into the National Association of Black Journalists Hall of Fame in 2011. . . .”

30 Journalists Killed by Crime Groups Since 2017

Reporters Without Borders unveiled a report in Paris last week, “Journalists: the bête noire of organised crime,” “that shines a light on the threats and reprisals to which journalists are subjected whenever they start taking too much interest in organized crime,” the press freedom group said.

“The only choice for reporters who uncover facts about organized crime is often between saying nothing and risking their lives. Worldwide, more than 30 journalists have been killed by criminal organizations since the start of 2017, RSF learned in the course of several months of research for this report, in which it interviewed many targeted journalists, their colleagues and their families.

“Some of those interviewed are getting round-the-clock police protection after being threatened by organized crime in connection with their reporting. Some describe how criminal groups set fire to their homes or targeted their families. Others talk about the colleagues or family members who went missing or were murdered in connection with their reporting. Organized crime hates publicity and stops at nothing to silence overly curious journalists, everyone said. . . .”

• “Maria Ressa, the editor of Philippine online news website Rappler, has turned herself into the authorities on Monday after a warrant was issued for her arrest,” Hannah Ellis-Petersen reported Monday for the Guardian. “Last month the government announced it was charging Ressa and Rappler with five counts of tax fraud, charges that Ressa said were trumped up in an attempt to ‘harass and intimidate’ the news organisation, which has been highly critical of president Rodrigo Duterte’s administration. . . .” Ressa was honored with the Committee to Protect Journalists’ 2018 Gwen Ifill Press Freedom Award in New York two weeks ago.
• “The Washington Post will again expand its Foreign coverage in 2019, this time by adding correspondents in Brazil and West Africa,” the Post announced on Monday. “This is the latest step in an expansion that also added correspondents in Mexico, Rome and Hong Kong in 2018.

Tyson was host of ‘Cosmos: Possible Worlds’ on Fox in 2014 and a new edition of the series was to air on National Geographic next year. . . . ” In a Facebook post Saturday, Tyson denied the accusations.
