Mark Zuckerberg reprimands employees for defacing 'Black Lives Matters' on wall at Menlo Park FB HQ (to eat, racism)

Good call on Zuckerberg's part. While I might not agree with most of their attention seeking tactics locally, their message nonetheless reflects injustices that have and and still occur.

Worked at a company who had dry erase boards like this. It's just a platform for grown up children to write crap, because they think people care about what they have to say.

This kind of crap is why Trump is rising up. If we want equality then lets treat each other as equals. Instead, we see one race get to do whatever they want while all other races have to eat ****. I can't wait till this political correctness thing passes.

No the point is, it was really rude to your colleagues. Why would you cross out something your colleague wrote and put your stuff on top. No one was slopping that "all lives matter" writer from taking their own corner and writing that. They purposely covered up someone else's statement.

That feels a lot like how it feels in our society to be a black person. If you make a comment about your own experiences with racism or perceived racism or even just say you are proud to be black, someone comes out to complain. To put you in "your place."

P.S. Using the phrase black lives matter doesn't mean you are part of the "movement." It is a very simple statement, just like "say it loud, I'm black and I'm proud."

I'll go back to the cancer example. When someone is doing a breast cancer 5k or whatever, no one is running around saying "all diseases matter."

This is the first thought that popped into my head when I heard about this.

Actually no because Marky isn't allowing Whites or Asians to write stuff about White lives matter or Asian lives matter. It would be like the government banning people with diabetes or autism from bringing awareness and then saying only Cancer patients are allowed to bring awareness.
