Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is upset with his employees at Facebook’s Menlo Park, Calif., campus. It seems as though there’s a faction of Facebook employees who don’t believe that black lives matter, and they have been expressing their displeasure by crossing out anything regarding Black Lives Matter on the office walls.

The walls’ purpose at Facebook has always been to serve as an outlet for employees to voice their opinions and express themselves. But Zuckerberg is quite displeased with the actions of some of the employees, and said so on an internal memo:

Hope that he can educate some folks.

5. I don't like him either

but I do give him props for trying this and he needs to hire more people of color who can police and clean up facebook

6. Good for Mark!

Some of those people just don't get it when they NEVER said 'Only' Black lives Matters. Why is that so difficult to understand, or are they just playing stupid?

7. I discussed

it with my family yesterday, and we came to a consensus that people are pretending to not understand what the movement is about and are intentionally twisting its message in order to use reverse psychology and to weaken it. They know full well that BLM never said only our lives matter, and that it is about stopping people within our community from suffering police brutality.

8. I thought about that too.

I'd like to think that nobody is that dumb. But then you never know.
