>> MY INTERPRETATION IS THEY
THOUGHT IT WAS A CHALLENGE TO
ORTHODOXY SO THEY SMEARED ME.
THERE IS CONTINUOUS HARASSMENT
AND CAREER SABOTAGE OF ANYONE
WHO EXPRESSES A CONSERVATIVE
VIEWPOINT.
THERE IS CONSTANT SHAPING AND
ATTACKS AGAINST WHITE MEN.
IN SILICON VALLEY.
IF YOU OPEN UP THAT YOU HAVE
CERTAIN VIEWPOINTS, YOUR CAREER
WILL BE AND TALKED.
CHARLES: THAT WAS FORMER GOOGLE
EMPLOYEE JAMES DAMORE AND HIS
LAWYER.
HE'S FILED A CLASS ACTION
LAWSUIT FOR GOOGLE'S ALLEGED
INTELL RONS TOWARDS WHITE
INTERVIEW.
GOOGLE PUT OUT A TAPE BEFORE THE
SHOW WAS OVER.
I WANTED TO GET BACK TO THIS.
THE NOTION THAT SILICON VALLEY
IS SOMEHOW INHERENTLY
DISCRIMINATING AGAINST WHITE
CONSERVATIVE MEN, WHAT IS THE
BASIS FOR THAT AND HOW CAN YOU
PROVE THAT PERHAPS THERE MAY BE
POLITICAL-IDEOLOGICAL
DIFFERENCES, BUT THIS SOMEHOW
HARMS OR SAB TAWNGS THEIR
CAREER.
>> THE LAWSUIT ISN'T ABOUT WHITE
CONSERVATIVE MEN.
IT'S ABOUT THREE CLASS OF
PEOPLE, CONSERVATIVES,
CAUCASIANS AND ASIANS AND MEN.
BUT POINT NUMBER TWO, EACH OF
CONSERVATIVES ARE SUBJECT TO
SHAMING.
IT'S PERFECTLY TOLERATED TO PUT
NEGATIVE CHARACTERIZATIONS OF
PEOPLE WHO ARE REPUBLICAN OR
SUPPORTED DONALD TRUMP IN THE
ELECTION, EVEN EQUATING THEM TO
NAZIS AND PUNCHING THEM WHICH IS
PRETTY OFFENSIVE AND OUTRAGEOUS.
THAT LANG WAGE IS NOT USED BY
CONSERVATIVES AND WOULDN'T BE
TOLERATED.
WE NOTED A NUMBER OF INSTANCES
AT GOOGLE WHERE THERE ARE GROUP
MEETINGS WHERE GROUPS THAT HAVE
LESS WOMEN THAN MEN ARE SHAMED
BY BOOING AT THE MANAGERS WHO
HAVE THAT DISPARITY.
SELECT OUT OF SPEAKING
OPPORTUNITIES.
SO IT'S A CONSTANT WHAT RUNNING
ON A DAILY BASIS THAT EVERYTHING
HAVING TO DO WITH A RACIAL OR
GENDER DISPARITY HAS A
BIAS-RELATED EXPLANATION AS
OPPOSED TO OTHER EXPLANATIONS
LIKE PEOPLE MAKE DIFFERENT
CHOICES.
CHARLES: THERE WAS A CONTROVERSY
DURING THE ELECTION PROCESS AND
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE WAY THEY
TREATED CONSERVATIVE IDEAS,
FACEBOOK OBVIOUSLY INFAMOUS FOR
THIS AS WELL.
BUT THERE HAS ALSO BEEN A LOT OF
TALK ABOUT A LACK OF DIVERSITY
WHEN IT COMES TO BLACKS,
HISPANICS AND WOMEN.
WOMEN ARE SAYING WE ARE
DISCRIMINATED AGAINST IN SILICON
ON THE OTHER HAND YOU ARE SAYING
>> THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT KINDS
OF DISPARITY AND BOTH OF THEM
CAN OCCUR SIMULTANEOUSLY.
THE WOMEN SUING GOOGLE ARE NOT
SAYING THEY ARE NOT GETTING
HIRED AT GOOGLE BECAUSE THEY
ARE.
BUT THEY ARE SAYING THAT GOOGLE
I THINK THEY ARE PROBABLY DOING
THAT AND IT SHOULD BE REMEDIED
BY THE COURTS.
GOOGLE IS SAYING THE METHODOLOGY
TO PROVE THEIR CASES IS FRAUD.
BUT HE WILL HAVE A BURDEN OF
