and persuaded 200 of them to leave the hate group...

"I never set out to convert anyone in the Klan," he told The Independent. "I just set out to get an answer to my question, 'How can you hate me when you don't even know me?' I simply gave them a chance to get to know me and treat them the way I want to be treated. They come to their own conclusion that this ideology is no longer for them."

I cannot wait to see this!

I have heard about this guy. It's a good story. Black people hate this guy though, and for no good reason.

I can't understand it. The quote in the article about the NAACP guy chewing him out. As he told the guy, "I've collected 200 sets of robes. That's my dent in racism."

I would love to meet this man. This man has done something to actually make a difference and bring true respect between the races. I'm afraid the goal of certain folks that would have disdain for this man is not respect and equality, but spite and payback.

i hear what you're saying, but i think there are probably many folks who are very wary and untrusting of kluckers

This reminds me of a dave chappelle sketch.

As for the blacks who hate this guys, are probably the blacks that want to keep problems alive between the races. This guy should keep doing what he is doing.

That's precisely it. The liberals have a hold of the community. They prey on fear. They've told blacks that we should fear whitey. It's the white liberals saying this though. We eat it up, because we need someone to blame.


You know, other than ourselves.

Give me ambiguity or give me something else.
How can the poverty pimps scam people and "cry" racism, when he's defeating it?
He's not really "defeating" it. If he is trying to eradicate systematic racism, he is misguided. On the other hand, he is trying to rescue as as many individuals from racism as he can and that is to be applauded.

I admire his resolve because discussions with bigots are exhausting. No matter what you do to humanize yourself, they exist in an echo chamber and surround themselves with information that validates their point of view. Changing that perspective and making them see how racism affects those who are targeted is an exercise in eliciting common tropes of black on black crime, inferiority complexes, entitlement, reverse racism, etc.

The racism we should be focusing on doesn't wear a hood.

Anyone read this article? This thread made me think about it.

That guy has guts. God bless him. I have a great deal of respect and admiration for what he's doing. One man alone cannot end racism in this world, but he's doing much more than most people.

You're referring to the 'Plain Trouble on Da Plains' thread, are you?
