Damore: Google Employees ‘Openly Shame All Men’ In Meetings
Daily Caller ^ | 8/10/2017

Posted on 08/11/2017 1:35:17 AM PDT by Altura Ct.

James Damore, the Google engineer that was fired for writing a memo criticizing the company’s diversity policies, said in a Thursday interview that Google employees publicly criticize people based on race and gender in meetings.

“You can openly shame white people or all men [at Google], and we do this in our company-wide meetings,” Damore said. “There’s definitely a bias toward certain movements.”

During the interview with the Daily Wire’s Ben Shapiro, Damore claimed that Google firing him for pushing “harmful gender stereotypes” only revealed the company’s overblown emphasis on diversity, denying allegations that his memo had pushed “harmful gender stereotypes.”

“They’re putting their ideology before truth,” Damore said. “When one side is just trying to guilt you and call you names, and the other is actually using evidence and science, you know which one is actually seeking truth.”

Damore also claimed diversity issues are often exaggerated at Google, citing an instance of a female employee who complained on message boards of not feeling “included” at the company. The woman had posted a question “that had something to do with gender,” Damore said. Her post received 300 votes, only 50 of which were “down votes,” but she nevertheless claimed that one in six people disagreeing with her was enough to make her not feel welcome.

Damore claimed Google’s obsession with diversity is so pervasive that “it may definitely be biasing who they do business with.” He said he only used scientific research in his memo and never claimed that women were biologically worse than men at tech jobs.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai explained Damore’s firing in his own memo, claiming that Damore had pushed “harmful gender stereotypes,” but Damore claims the company is vilifying him. (RELATED: ‘They Betrayed Me’ Google Engineer Who Wrote Diversity Memo Feels ‘Punished’) Despite the company’s reaction, he said many of his former colleagues supported his memo.

“Since I’ve written it there have been many people that privately message me and say that yeah I support you and yeah this is a real problem,” Damore said.

My feeling is that this former engineer knows that what he is saying resonates in the wider economy, he wants to win a case against his employer, so he is trying to build a groundswell of support for himself so that he can get a good settlement.

It better be a good settlement. Yesterday I read that Danmore "took down" the statement that he was in a PhD program in Biology from his LinkedIn profile. He probably put his efforts "on hold" due to his employment at Google but didn't tidy up his profile until yesterday. Anyway, his critics are gfawing over what they think is a guy inflating his resume. Whatever is going on with that it got me to thinking that should Danmore ever want to resume his PhD he might have a hard time getting back into any top-tier program. The social justice warriors will hound him long after his name passes from the nightly news.

>We’ve got most of the guns and military/hunting experience.

Those type of advantages only last as long as it takes the other side to train up an army. Once that’s done the higher numbers will overwhelm. Check out the fate of South Africa or Rhodesia.

>It would be a slaughter. White people take shit for a long time, but when we snap, continents burn.

I see no signs of this. In fact I see whites as the world’s greatest group of wussies, driven from their cities by rioters and politicians who enable those rioters, fleeing crime instead of dealing with it, more upset of being called racist than they about their daughters beings sold to rape gangs.

The the time to act is before the other side gets organized but even around here on FR people talk about separation from the left instead of destroying them before they destroy us. Separation would just give them time to train their armies.

Cowardice and risk aversion gets us no were but a shallow grave. In an actual war too many people would object to the level of slaughter required to win it until it’s too late to win. Harden your hearts and get ready to be as cruel as the Romans if you want to survive.

If you read far left wing email lists they’ve already decided to kill off all white male Trump voters once they get power back. They’re not hiding their intentions and if Trump fails that is exactly what they’ll do. Negotiation with them is no more possible than it was it was with the Nazi’s smashing Jewish shops up in the 30s.

It’s not enough know how to shoot a few guns, or to have some ammo stockpiled. People need organization, training in proper military tactics, and a willingness to deal with the Marxists in the most uncivilized manner when the fighting starts but enough discipline to not commit violence until the war begins.

I hate Google.

Firing Damore sure was a great move for their brand, eh?

I propose a redneck protest at Google and all these other crazy places.

Rednecks come in many colors
Yellow red tan white and black
But to a one they all stand proud & tall
They’re the strength of this country’s back

It opened a little can of worms didn’t it.

I do believe normal people are starting to see through the libtard’s BS. They have been so successful for so long with their propaganda and agitprop and lately it has not been working (for a number of reasons) and what we are witnessing is a sort of “intellectual scortched earth retreat”. They know they are losing ground but refuse to relinquish anything that still has any value. It does seem to me that things that have taken some time and effort to create is that they can be destroyed very quickly. It would not surprise me to see Google turn into another MySpace almost overnight.

Just a side note -
“never claimed that women were biologically worse than men at tech jobs”

This is a bit of PC that too many conservatives parrot. As a population, women ARE worse than men at tech jobs. Women’s test scores in math cluster in the middle 80% while the upper (and lower) 10% has more men, percentages increasing as you get to the tails of the bell curve.

This is why white women are the number one recipient of affirmative action. Any STEM field with large numbers of women enrolls most of them on the basis of AA.

They know they’re inferior and I think this leads to the kind of bitterness these Google employees engage in.

"The majority of large US companies out there that are ate up with the diversity movement practice a campaign against their white male employees. Trust me I and my white male working stiffs face everyday at Dow Chemical."

Companies basically have no choice in the matter. Affirmative action (quotas) is a matter of federal law. And this "does" result in hiring and promotion of those not qualified for the positions they hold. That some of those same people push the envelope is no surprise.

If the righteous fury level grows enough against Google we might see its muckety mucks throwing one another to the wolves so to speak, as each tries to blame the rest for their stupidity. Google has a formidable tech base that could be saved, however the bullshit has to go. We need a proverbial Hercules for the Aegean stables of Google, turning the river of truth through them.

So true.

It’s a “key initiative” in the banking / financial sector as well.

They are eaten up with the stupid. Forget hiring the “best candidate”, hire the demographically correct candidate and make sure they get promoted.

I recently hired for a position on my London team, and I was “strongly encouraged” to hire a female for this VP-level position.

Guess how many females applied (out of 27 applicants)?

The radical leftists of the 60s have infiltrated and taken control of American institutions and are following the path of their college heroes like Mao. They have started their Cultural Revolution in America with the same tools. It began in China with public shaming of targeted groups and soon became reeducation camps and executions.

Wait! America's Red Guard has yet to get into full swing.
