As I sit here and think about how Black employees are dismissed and marginalized, let me tell about another experience at @CNN. Jim Walton was the worldwide CEO. If I ever wanted to meet with him, he always made it happen. 1/ #nottherightkindofblack
I respected Jim for that. He shot straight with me, didn’t dance around, and was honest. Yet when @Marktwhitaker - the highest ranking Black exec in company history - became the worldwide #2, I routinely requested to meet with him. #nottherightkindofblack
Never in my career had a Black media exec refused to even meet with me. That’s why it was no shock when Jeff Zucker bounced @markwhitaker, not a single Black employee said a word. No one even mentioned it. 3/ #nottherightkindofblack
