mister-christmas: friendly-neighborhood-patriarch: soulwind42: cheshireinthemiddle: quiteliterallyhotsauce: This is a nice tweet. Daryll Davis. A black activist who was kind to and had discussions with KKK members, getting dozens to leave the group singlehandedly. It was that very kindness that got many of them to change their minds about race. You can absolutely be nice to anyone. Being nice doesnt mean encouraging them or supporting their bad behavior and i think you know that. You just want your own bad actions validated. How you insult, dismiss and/or block people for daring to disagree with you even a little. You want to feel like youre in the right. But you arent. He went to event in the Philly area where people from all over the political spectrum came to talk ams share. This event was threatened by ANTIFA types. As they gathered outside shouting threats, Darryl Davis went out to talk to the crowd. They called him a white supremacist and a Nazi, and didn’t stop until he gave up and walked away. He said he had never in his life encountered such hatred and anger. The above tweet sounds suspiciously like an excuse or rationalization Honestly, if you think I’m being cruel to you because I’m being civil with somebody else that’s a you problem. LMAOO imagine being shocked that ppl dont like u when ur nice to people who want to murder them.anyway, yeah this is stupid. u cant preach civility while protecting an uncivil ideology. darryl davis can do what he wants, but no one is obligated to be nice to people who condones murdering them or others. if davis can walk away from antifa i can walk away from the KKK and nazis -- source link
