Inspired by this tweet.

And this thread.
http://www.thecoli.com/threads/pitchfork-has-44-writers-only-4-are-black-update-t-l-o-p-9-10.241796/

Here's a run down of all of the black employees and these publications.
VICE
Employees of the month y'all.
February's Employees of the Month | VICE | United States

NO BLACK PEOPLE!

UPDATE: 4/10/16

NOW I see alot of y'all still talking about Vice, making threads about them noisey ATL, CHIRAQ, Miami, etc documenatries with rappers but look at that and then take a look at these articles and then put two and two together to find out why Vice has no black people on their staff.

The World, but from BK
I have a friend who works at Vice. I been to 3 of there monthly happy hours they used to have in BK in williamsburg. The bar was right across the street from their headquarters at the time. I've seen like 2 black people at these happy hrs. Their office was a pretty big open space. They moved to a smaller spot in Greenpoint. From what she's told me, she hasn't had her a desk in like 3 months.....and yeah, she's white.
