you yourself brought him up as someone to emulate if we want to fight racial discord. it seems to me that the efficacy of his methods are relevant to someone evaluating your claims. you say "let's see the stats"-- I agree, I'd like to see them. I'm skeptical. The stories in the article I linked (that racists he "converted" are actually using him as a shield while laughing at him in private) directly contradict your point. Maybe those stories are wrong. I'm open minded to that. But you and the wikipedia article you linked certainly haven't convinced me. When I say his story as told by you is "just-so", what I mean is that it's reductive, incurious, inch-deep. "Candour" is an odd way to describe stenographical repetition of the same blurbs he uses to get booked as a paid speaker. There's a real telling moment where he takes the time to straighten a klansman's white hood. People who are reading this comment are probably wondering if I'm joking right now. I encourage you to look into it
