Synth pioneer Klaus Schulze (1981)
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!

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
And Daryl’s case nobody wants to see better way of fighting racism.
I saw his little documentary thing. I dont agree with everything he says, but he gets other black people so mad by implying that violence is not the answer. Like people were raising their voices at him and threatening him when he said “people can change”.
I’ve read about Davis before. Amazing man. Truly inspiring.
