deducecanoe: willesqueleto: sighinastorm: hattersadventures: ghettablasta: Daryl Davis is a Chicago blues musician, who uses his friendship with KKK to convince members to leave this organization. He successfully persuaded 25 former white supremacists that there’s another way. Davis has his own strategy, he explains and talks to people in more than friendly way, that allows to prevent usual misunderstanding. ‘They may be yelling and screaming or pounding the table, but at least they’re talking, they’re not fighting.’ Davis choose to disarm them with polite conversation and smile. And this worked out. It doesn’t mean he’s anti-Black, he just chose his own path. No need to spread fake facts. This is very important! #StayWoke He dismantled every KKK group in his entire state by merely befriending the individual members. Look how effective his method was compared to screeching at people and calling them buzzwords. re-reblogging because holy shit why do people just outright lie about this stuff do they think nobody will check It takes a special person to do that. I have trouble talking to people as it is. That kind of situation would be too much. He has the gift of a cool head and determination. -- source link
