harrison, shana thomas is here with a question for you. >> hi, shana. >> hay, mr. harrison.pproach your campaign and the conversation about race, which you're para e partially here to talk about right now, as the president sends tweets like the ones we've been talking about all morning, does the conversation of race strengthen your campaign or make it harder to run in south carolina? i think the president's view on this is by stoking racist fears in his base, that's good for his campaign and good for his potential to win. i think a lot of us disagree with that but we'll let him deal with that. but how does it affect your campaign? >> listen, the thing i think about, shana, when we're talking about these things, these are things we can't hide from. i wake up every morning and i'm a black man who grew up in south carolina. i can't change that. that's a part of the perspective i will look at and the lens i will look at to the rest of the world. these are difficult conversations and conversations i wish we would have had in the '60s because if we had those hard conversations and

shana glenzer is with us.hat is remarkable how well the stock holds up throughout all of this and continues to. what is going on? >> yeah, so, feedback loud and clear from those groups participating yesterday was that they are not pleased with facebook's lack of action but, to your point, it's not having significant impact in these boycotts, these ad boycotts that will last for some through july, and others until facebook makes significant changes, also don't seem to be budging the stock price much. neil: right. >> what is interesting, the beginning of july if these boycotts continue through mid, end of july, and start really impacting the numbers, and, more of those top 100 advertisers join in, i think that is when you will start seeing some movement in the stock price. neil: yeah, because up to now, big names, and we're showing just a few of them, including coca-cola, ben & jerry's, on and on, but in the vast scheme of things, it still represents about eight or 9% of revenue for the company. now that might c
