Daryl Davis is a black musician who for the past 30 years has befriended KKK members to convince them to leave the KKK. He has convinced 200 KKK members to give up their robes. He fights hate with love.
This mother fucker is a god damn boss. He is amazing. What pisses me off though is when white people should then expect black people to be as good as him. Year or two ago i watched this with a friend(white, as am I) say “why can’t more black people be like him”. I was appalled, i was like “why can’t more white folk stop fucking joining the kkk”.
My all-time favorite true story is about a klansman who was ordered by a judge to do community service by registering black voters. His supervisor was an elderly black woman... she became his closest friend, IIRC, until one of them passed away.
When asked about his change of heart he said something like "I got to no longer be who I wasn't".
If that asshole can turn his life around, I believe anyone can.
