As much as they can but don't be surprised if they can't.
I also loved how the shitheads are basically part of the alt-right now,
One of the white supremacist he supposedly saved got arrested for being a violent white supremacist in Charlottesville and Davis showed up to plea for mercy for thei white supremacist because he's his friend.
You're the one who came at me making it a contest and misrepresenting my posts, I'm trying to put this into perspective. If a person has the power, they're the ones that should be speaking up, not the victims.
Great.
This is basically what I'm saying.
I mean it's unfair, it's his friend after all!
Oh crazy didn't know that looks like i have to read up more
They were and are a lost cause. They at most wanted to make sure I had a ride to work since i didn't drive and told me I needed to be careful walking the two miles to get there (close to klan territory). Yet despite liking me enough to not want to see me lynched, became comfortable enough to inform me that in their opinion me dating a white woman was the equivalent to interspecies mixing. There's nothing that I can do to get through to that.
Then we're on the same page.
Well, yeah.
TBF it's really only just one user speaking from a white perspective daring to shame minorities for not having the *gasp* same propensity to weather hatred as he does.
Thanks
The Curious Case of Daryl Davis, the Black Man Befriending Members of the KKK
The intent may be fine. But it’s hard not to wonder if he isn’t fundamentally aiding and abetting the cause he claims to oppose.www.thedailybeast.com
More like Bahamut Zero, I mean come on other what is gonna be a good standin for MLK then?
In my experience (as a straight white dude), they're even less receptive to those they see as peers. They just see the confrontation as virtue signaling. "Why the hell do you care so much? You're not even [oppressed minority]."
That's a better one. I'll just pretend that I really wanted the imagery of a table in people's heads for breaking bread.
Temporary resistance buffs to bigotry
That's not quite how I understand Buddhism. Self-defense or protecting the innocent is acceptable as a last resort. This is more about the most helpful mindset in approaching these ways of advancing righteous causes than it is about taking legitimate options (such as, sometimes, necessary violence) off the table.
From what I recall, it didn't stick, which would be in line with what the article mentioned. This particular deep canvassing method seemed to work for at least 6 months though.
I've had this conversation a few times now with people who call victims out for their "non-productive anger", and they've always been cis white people. And when asked if they do anything to help combat ignorance and bigotry, they either duck out or literally say something like "not my fight".
People love Daryl Davis, but they always leave out the part where the people he "saved" were at charlotteville shooting at black people or how he looked BLM activists in a eye and told them to suck a dick.
Crazy thing is people acting brand new about. Look at reconstruction, first time black people got into government, and the north let the south lynch them right out of it because they didn't want the south to suffer the shame of follow laws made by black people. Jim Crow black people made their own towns and doing their own thing keeping out of the way of white people. They were burned, bombed, and killed cause they had the arrganonce of living happy successful lives.
Shittt, I better see everyone in this thread advocating for it in all racist/bigotry related threads. Shouldn't be too hard for them because it's so easy to do
I wouldn't necessarily say there's no systemic solution since the actual study was done systemically in the first place. The issue is that people aren't understanding that such efforts need to be coordinated and funded. If there was a SuperPAC or something that did this empathetic canvassing the same way people canvas for political candidates, then you could definitely make a dent imo.
