minus-squarecRazi_man@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-22 days agoYes, I’m serious. Depends on if you want to actually change minds, or if you want to try to take a punitive approach to try to shout down narrow minded people (which doesn’t really achieve anything). If a black man can convert high ranking KKK members through conversation alone, then it certainly is possible. Daryl Davis was directly responsible for between forty and sixty, and indirectly over two hundred people leaving the Klan. Or if you want to hear detail about the process then there’s a podcast episode about this as well.
