    John Eligon Retweeted Michael Powell

    The paper didn’t alter course cuz of “public pressure.” Legit concerns were raised by Black employees who worked alongside Don. It’s disheartening that a colleague I’ve worked with & respected would tweet this & speaks to how isolating it is to be Black at a mainstream news orghttps://twitter.com/powellnyt/status/1358476311908483072 …

    "For reporter Donald McNeil to end his long career as a result of a single word, risks sending a chilling message. That the paper apparently altered its course ... as a result of public pressure is a further worrying signal.

        You often wonder what your white colleagues who are lovely to your face are actually thinking or saying about you — or people like you — behind your back.

        Also to be hung up on the N word is to ignore other complaints about statements that were allegedly made about Black teens and white privilege that seem extremely problematic. But I guess reducing it to one word makes it easier for some to uphold the narrative of martyrdom

        To be clear, I’ve never argued for Don to be fired — nor have many of my colleagues who’ve raised concerns about this. I’ve argued for full transparency. It is impossible to judge the situation w/out knowing all that was said. Sadly, we haven’t gotten that transparency.

        There is no arguing, though, that they altered course under pressure and did so well after these allegations had originally been investigated. Is the ability of Black colleagues to persuade the paper to relitigate this also a sign of their isolation?

        They weren’t legit concerns, though.
