KKK Member Walks up to Black Musician in Bar
- collin128 13y agoWow, simply an inspiring tale of a daring man who also happens to be a great musician.
- JaggedJax 13y agoDaryl Davis did a Reddit AMA: http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/uo2qv/i_am_daryl_davis_black_man_who_befriended_kkk/ http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/uo2qv/i_am_daryl_davis... There is also a great Snap Judgment story about this: http://snapjudgment.org/silver-dollar-lounge http://snapjudgment.org/silver-dollar-lounge
- joshguthrie 13y agoI love this. Especially the end. Every time I read anything about "social justice", all I see is shunning and hate. Fighting racism, nazism, sexism,... I'm all for that. But if you become just like your enemy, what's the point? You're just another whatever-ist. It's just getting ridiculous. Some countries (hello mother France!) have anti-racism laws. A common french saying is "Racism is not an opinion, it's a crime". There you go, fine the racists, send them all to jail,... All this does is give fuel to their idea of "The <people-you-dont-like> lobby is in cahoots with our government, it's a conspiracy". The idea spreads underground like rotten water and nobody ever tries to clean it.
- vezzy-fnord 13y agoAbsolutely. People like Daryl Davis should make those with the modern "everything is sexist and racist"/social justice warrior mentality ashamed.
- mtdewcmu 13y agoHe must have an incredible personality, to be able to approach people predisposed to hate him and win them over every time... not many people could or would do that.
