βAt the age of 10, I formed a question in my mind, which was: how can you hate me when you donβt even know me? And now, for the next 56 years, Iβve been looking for the answer to that question.β
Daryl Davis, an internationally renowned musician, has made a second career out of befriending white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and members of the Ku Klux Klan, helping over 200 of them to renounce their racist ideology.
βWhen I met this guy, he was a Grand Dragon. And he rose through the ranks to Imperial Wizard. And when he dropped out, because of this perception change and hanging out with me, he gave me his Klan robe and his hood."
He toured and performed with the likes of Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, and B.B. King. But a personal experience with bigotry at a young age made him curious about why people hate.
In this episode, we dive into Daryl Davisβ childhood, his passion for music, his encounters with the Klan, and the methodology he uses for helping them to renounce their racism.
Daryl: βThe greatest weapon to combat racism, anti-Semitism, [and] all types of discrimination is the least expensive weapon known to man. Itβs free, yet it is the most underused. Itβs called conversation."
