what does it take to unseat bias? first of all, we have to look at all the places that people are getting that violence, those attitudes, and have dialogue about it. just like amina said, we need to be getting to know each other. some researchers back in the 40's came up with 4 important things to address prejudice. the first is getting it know each other, talking about it, getting it out in the open.

what does it take to unseat bias? first of all, we have to look at all the places that people are getting that violence, those attitudes, and have dialogue about it. just like amina said, we need to be getting to know each other. some researchers back in the 40's came up with 4 important things to address prejudice. the first is getting it know each other, talking about it, getting it out in the open. the second is equal status, we're not just feeling sorry for those poor little whatevers that are difrplt than us, but we are all equal. the third one is working together and i think about the giants, we're all for the team, not all together not as if we are color blind and color doesn't exist but with our diversity. the fourth is with power and authority, the person who stands up and says this is what needs to happen, like a school principal who says we're not going to let kids go around the school saying that's okay, all these things are needed. >> i like th

they were signing the non-public e-mails with the public titles to sway them to bias a forum arranged by members of the public and this is hope was the president of soft at the time that she wrote this. so mr. ginsberg whatever he gets off the hook he gets off the hook. but he was clearly comp lisit he either helped to plan it orchestrate it he may very well get 300 e-mails a day and only five from mark and i bet that he reads every one of them. so i think that when or what they were doing is they were working as a unit, ballard is the subordinate of ginsberg and acting at his request. it was pretty clear that this was done as a group effort. so, thank you very much. >> thank you, mr. gooding. >> wooding, i'm so sorry. >> ginsberg and wooding and i very much apologize for that. >> public comment on this matter? >> i am here on my own time. isn't it curious that mr. ginsberg is being disengenius with you and first he is saying in the testimony there were no documents and then he changes his mind and says that there is no essential records. then, when he reports to that he told miss gon

of course being swept into the system with little hope of being able to challenge the bias or tactics that got you there is just the beginning. for so many. once you have been swept in and branded a criminal war felon you have a shooting to a parallel social universe in which the civil-rights movement along replies. you may be denied the right to vote for period of years or the rest of your life depending on states. you are deemed ineligible for jury service for the rest of your life. for the rest of your life discrimination in employment would not only be legal but routine. you would be forced to check the box on employment application asking the dreaded question have you ever been convicted of a felony. it doesn't matter if the felony happened a few weeks ago, it you months ago or 45 years ago. for the rest of your life you have to check that box knowing full well -- many people say come on, stop making excuses for people. when you get out of prison is hard, it is tough but if you try hard, if you really work at it, put yourself out there, you can get a job, you can get a job at mcd

then to satisfied that the panel is well qualified and collectively they do not present a general bias that we can detect. so, any how, they at that point, on april 25th, we were acceptable as a group.

be pertinent to ballard and the deletion of it she was basically dising these people and they were bias and to insight the community in asking for a complete, shutting down, to not to do the thing. look at the, look at the e-mail that she wrote, on the 20th. >> the other thing is the category for retentions verses other retentions, i am just looking at the department policy and they do talk about the essential records and essential records do include among other things, records required for the protection for the rights of individuals. and that could be the individuals within the department or something like that. but, i think cha is essential here and what seems to be glossed over because we are focusing on this one narrow issue here. is a much bigger one that i hope that you take up in some form or another and that is you have clear evidence before you. that you cannot deny in writing. that members of the department, highly paid members of the department directly reporting to the director of the department, basically tried to intercede and prevent the public from meeting and discussin

confirmation bias is that they don't work and a lot of reported.observer bias is more interested than i thought about it like when i drive egg. if i'm driving to breaking the speed limit to drive a really fast covers because that way for an appointment early for work or the person in front of you striving to use over whatever. but if somebody else is driving fast at a time when i don't want to drive fast, that person is on faith. it is attributed your own actions to cost, but blaming other people for their own misfortune. so if you're struggling to pay the bills, it's because it's a tough economy it hard to get a good paying job in this field is not a lot of opening. but other people have trouble paying their bills, they made a bad decision. they are not working hard enough. they are lazy. that is actor bias. what do they have a comment? our job as journalists is provided, taxed. often what happens with these distorted by prejudiced stereotypes is the context is missing or the context is distorted or confirmation bias too cold the next thing you kn

then to satisfied that the panel is well qualified and collectively they do not present a general bias that we can detect. so, any how, they at that point, on april 25th, we were acceptable as a group. what transpired in the next couple of days, common wealth club started receiving calls and talking about the panel being biased. and so, any how, this just goes on. and ginsberg and buel were able to start changing this meeting, they changed the title, they changed the panel by adding mark beul and they changed the content and they were clearly unhappy with this meeting and decided to unofficially add him as a speaker and so it was became a much different meeting and how they did it is they sent letters and they pretty much abused panel members by saying things behind our back, saying that we were inadequate, we were abusive, we were biased and we could not hold the meeting, all of this so what happens that works? the common wealth club basically caved in and what happened is i was up... i received a bunch of documents from the common wealth club. and then i did a sunshine request to oli

i am glad you could join us for a conversation about ingrained attitudes and unintentional bias is with author anthony greenwald, coming up right now. >> there is a saying that dr. king had that said there is always the right time to do the right thing. i just try to live my life every day by doing the right thing. we know that we are only halfway to completely eliminate hunger, and we have a lot of work to do. walmart committed $2 billion to fighting hunger in the u.s. as we work together, we can stamp hunger out. >> and by contributions to your pbs station from viewers like you. thank you. tavis: most of us like to think of ourselves as fair and willing to take people as they are, but a new book titled "blindspot" challenges that notion. authored by research scientist dr. anthony greenwald, about how we have errors in how we proceed people and make decisions. i am honored to have you on the program. >> thanks. please call me tony. >> -- tavis: i will call you tony. i will sit back, and this black board will be yours. i am going to sit back and listen to how this process works, so take

and one admits to a bias in his work, which story made our list now on fox news watch. on the panel this week, writer and fox news contributor judy miller, syndicated columnist cal thomas, jim pinkerton contributing editor the american conservative magazine, and ellen ratner, bureau chief of talk radio news service, i'm jon scott. fox news watch is on right now. president obama on friday, a surprise appearance in front of the white house press corps, after his meeting with congressional leaders over the sequestration. it ended a week of more doom and gloom forecasts. mr. obama claims will be a result of the automatic spending cuts, the theme parroted by the press, members of congress and members of the president's cabinet. >> well, some of this stuff happens earlier, some happens this fall and what it does, it creates tremendous instability and there are literally teachers now who are getting pink slips, notices that can't come back this fall. >> jon: well, that statement was totally wrong. in fact, "the washington post" gave the education secretary four pinochios for t

the director of public affairs here is the san francisco rpd basically says that this is a deeply bias panel with no interest in discussing facts i am hopeful that you will cancel the panel and put on a more balanced approach. i mean that here we have basically using the official title, the city employee highly paid up in the department, basically requesting a private club that puts on a lot of controversial presentation to scotch this one. and that is the pattern here. the underlying pattern is the number of city officials, paid employees as well as city commissioners basically went out of their way to use their official titles, and approach a private entity in discourage a public meeting on public affairs. and they did it by basically saying, these people are unqualified, these people are bias, these people will insight the public, this is totally inappropriate, please do not have this meeting. that to me, as just an individual as a citizen is deeply disturbing. our country is based on the principle of public being able to get together to discuss issues. we may not always agree with

you can't blame media bias at all. >> get to that point on the 47%.people said it looks like, the perception is he doesn't care about working class people. the report, flash forward, the reports that the perception is that the republican party doesn't care enough about people and we have to change that. >> so, when conservatives last year said that not only the reporting was unfair. too unfair to barack obama, and also that the polls were spewed in all that, you know, the counter to that was, republicans were out of touch and now come to the support saying, hey, republicans were out of touch. do you feel vindicated? >> not vindicated. but even more, as significant as the policies. the report is also critical of things that were wrong with the romney campaign technologically. >> i don't want to talk about that. >> i just want to point out that is a criticism of the media that is also reflected in this report. not vindicated, howie, but the report is right on. the real question is looking forward, will republicans follow the recommendations in the repor

and home boy hotline is not [speaker not understood] bias, race bias, it's for men and women. i go to juvenile halls. i go to prisons, also i go to 1 11 taylor and i go to a halfway house and do a presentation every three months to let them know what the home boy hotline is based upon. i get letters all the time from prisoners and phone calls. i really didn't know nothing about the reentry council to be honest with you. i work real close with the healing circle, women in the community have been victimized by violence and their children, and matty scott, you know, kept encouraging me telling me to come apply. that's why i applied for it. to be honest with you, the reason that i feel as though i'm qualified for this seat is i think a person that's trying to transfer back into the community in transition, and trying to change, can only be affected by someone who has changed and transitioned because i consider myself a walking miracle. i'm dedicate today this reentry because i want to be a source of inspiration and i want to provide a source for my community. i help restore this c

this market has a real bias right now against discounters, the way it has a bias against the high-endike tiffany last year. pretty much every industry gets hurt these days. last week petsmart got dinged. we had seen ascena get pounded not that long ago. and of course bed, bath & beyond and best buy got crushed at the end of last year. but take a look at the latter two players. bed bath a possible private equity takeout. i believe it could happen if the near-term fundamentals aren't that strong. no matter what i say people believe amazon can crush bby. isn't that what people said about best buy, that amazon is killing the hard goods retailer? it's become the last man standing in a business that has some sort of housing tailwind now. stock's at 20. i think it never should have gotten down to where it was. i thought that was wrong. best buy always had a decent balance sheet and decent cash flow, it's a place you can go to buy hard goods and have them set up for you, which is not easy these days for some of these complicated tvs. my takeaway is they're viable once they settle. the stocks

could not not be denied is that during khadafi there was seen a sense of security and stability in the bia and this is something they're we're lacking greatly right now how much time you think it will take for the bands to feel secure and first ability when you see the post conflict periods or all of the difficult one it's not an easy thing especially in a country where they would create a culture who was totally absent you know heeds time needs patients and he's a real love of this country you know which lots of people lack of those days and other opinion is that the problem is between a growing gap between the victor towns like for example benghazi and the loser towns like ben while eight people feel like maybe that gap is widening and they're like two camps establishing in syria do you feel that. some glimpses of that are true you know what you see you cannot deny that this is the harvest to forty two years of of a culture that somehow managed you know to divide between libya's to create clear vision is between libya's and tribal lines sic to realize i mean regional lines. ethnic lines

but there is this conservative bias that shows up there. >> and the conservative bias is interesting.nt across how conservative the districts themselves are. it's consistent across a variety of things. it's just like the data, empirical, but data jumps out. >> yes, we must emphasize that it hasn't been peer reviewed. there is a systematic trend. we looked for things that we predict might predict accuracy as well as the ideology. things like age and race. this is the big one that jumped out at us. >> a relationship between how competitive that district is about how well you know where your constituents are on this kind of thing. >> incumbency didn't affect it. we also went back and asked respondents back in november after the election and they didn't improve either. >> so the election happens you get the democratic feedback, what's the term you guys used, constituency control? that could be the mechanic. you run for office and you say, i hate, smiame-sex marriage. and then you lose. then you say, i really got wrong my district? >> is this the vocal minority problem you? think about ele

what is that bias, basically what he's telling us, we are looking at this building, the core is nothing we can do about this. this is a design to support possibly hundreds of tons of glass. if he addressed this, we maybe looking at aluminum and make a massive savings. i think that's what scans a should be looking at. it would be an expansive laboratory research made that indicate that efg would last at least 40 years. >> thank you. any other members of the public? seeing none, public items is closed on this item. >> i move. >> we have a motion, a second. why don't we take roll call. >> lloyd, metcalf, reiskin, aye, kim aye. item 8 is approved. >> great. much luck to the notions on this team. any more items? >> seeing no further items, meeting is adjourned.

i do think that there's a lot of unconscious or implicit bias going on when they make decisions just as all of us in america suffer from implicit bias, the stereotypes out there in the society, the belief we have that we're not conscious of that cause us to agent the way we do. they are not immune from that. it's easy for a prosecutor to see the humanity in a defendant who looks like them, you know, that -- if there's a young kid, young white kid who's got his own private lawyer who comes, you know, well represented, comes in the as the prfort saying the kid's got a future, going to college, don't ruin his life because of the drug case, prosecutors have empathy. the prosecutor might say, maybe i did a little -- had a few youthful indiscretions myself, and if someone had mercy on me, i would have ended up -- so they can see the empathy there; right? they are more inclined to give the person a deal, not consciously, not consciously saying i'm going to helpous this young white kid, but they are going to see and empathize more with that person than with a poor black kid who doesn't have

it builds from that bias to hatred and war.the cycle and let kids grow up in an environment in which they feel cared about, saves, where there is no name calling, notes humiliation, because if we do not the culture it injures them of the kids are going to feel so bad about themselves they are going to be depressed, they will hurt themselves, and others will hurt others. we need to have a society that cares about us. it is not just the kids problem. good >> over the next five years, we are going to commemorate a number of seminal moments in american history. much of this you were around for. to it.e integral he went around for the -- you were not there for the emancipation proclamation signing, but the anniversary was this year. the march one washington. 50 years since those little girls were killed in the 16th street baptist church. i just wrote a piece in the huffington post about this, and i'm trying to lead the effort to get those little girls the congressional gold medal. you know that is the highest civilian honor this cou
