Also My Brothers And Sisters, There are numerous allegations and criticisms over the years about racism or racial discrimination within CBS Corporation (now part of Paramount Global). Here’s a breakdown of some major incidents and themes, plus some context. (If by “CBS Company” you meant a different CBS — let me know.)

Key Allegations of Racism / Racial Discrimination at CBS
1. Claims by Former CBS Executive (Whitney Davis)
• Whitney Davis, who held a senior diversity role at CBS, argued in a public essay that CBS had a “white problem” — not just in on-air talent but behind the scenes in executive roles.
• She wrote that during her tenure, there was no Black creative executive at CBS Television Network or CBS Television Studios.
• She also described incidents of racism: for instance, recalling a coworker saying, “My dad has f—ed black women, and he loved it.”
• According to her, an internal investigation into workplace culture (after Leslie Moonves’ misconduct became public) ignored systemic racism.
2. Racist / Discriminatory Behavior in Local Stations
• A Los Angeles Times investigation detailed allegations that execs at CBS-owned TV stations made racist, sexist, and homophobic remarks, and that there was a pattern of preventing Black journalists from being hired or promoted.
• The investigation pointed out that certain senior station executives have been accused of using discriminatory hiring practices.
• Specifically, Peter Dunn, president of CBS Television Stations, was central to many of these claims.
3. Anchor Lawsuit – Beverly Williams
• Beverly Williams, a former Black news anchor at KYW-TV (a CBS-owned station), filed a lawsuit alleging race, sex, and age discrimination.
• Her case was settled out of court.
4. Recent Discrimination Lawsuits Related to DEI
• There is a lawsuit by Brian Beneker, a white writer on CBS’s SEAL Team, who claims he was denied a staff writing job because he didn’t “check any diversity boxes.” He alleges CBS used “racial quotas” for hiring writers.
• Another case by America First Legal claims a white, heterosexual male (and veteran) was discriminated against: he was allegedly told there were “too many straight, white men” in the department.
• A former Paramount (CBS) exec, Joseph Jerome, alleges that he was terminated to meet “DEI goals,” and says younger employees of color replaced him.
5. Cuts to Diversity Units
• More recently, CBS (Paramount) cut its Race & Culture Unit — a division formed after George Floyd’s killing — raising concerns that DEI efforts are being deprioritized.
• According to critics, some of those layoffs disproportionately affected people of color, leading to accusations of “race-based layoffs.”
6. On-Air / Programming Concerns
• On Big Brother, there have been recurring accusations of racial bias: for example, viewers and critics claim HouseGuests of color are treated or portrayed differently, and CBS leadership has faced criticism over how casting and editing are handled.
• Historically, 60 Minutes commentator Andy Rooney made controversial remarks about race, including statements about black people that many considered racist.

Why These Issues Matter
• These allegations suggest both structural and cultural problems: not just isolated incidents, but patterns in hiring, management, and corporate culture.
• Some of the claims highlight reverse discrimination debates — that is, lawsuits alleging discrimination against white men in the name of diversity.
• Others reflect more traditional concerns of underrepresentation and lack of opportunity for people of color within CBS’s leadership and creative ranks.
• Cuts to diversity programs can undermine trust among employees and audiences who see representation as important.

Responses and Impact
• CBS has publicly stated that it is “committed to making our company a place of inclusion.”
• In response to internal and external pressure, CBS has made some changes — but critics argue they are not sufficient or consistent.
• Legal cases are ongoing, which could influence how DEI policies are structured and enforced in media companies going forward.
