IBM's CEO Arvind Krishna also promises " an ongoing dialogue " on this " difficult" topic: "For our Black IBMers, we understand how particularly difficult these times are for you. Please know that IBM is a safe place to work, and we are here to support you. There are no easy answers, but we must be willing to have these important, albeit difficult, conversations. I ask all IBMers to join me in creating an even more inclusive culture at IBM. I encourage you to reach out to your IBM leaders if you need any support."
