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.
Davis choose to disarm them with polite conversation and smile. And this worked out.
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”.
This came shortly before the “punch a nazi” popularity. Everyone’s suddenly forgotten that opinions can be changed. That violence doesnt actually change their minds. Discussion does.
Most of the people who praised him now think his methods could never work. Even though we know they have. He’s gotten over 200 people to leave the KKK and change their minds about race. By himself.
They’re just too filled with bloodlust for people who don’t think like them or too lazy to put in the time having relationships with people who aren’t carbon copy clones of their each and every belief. That’s all.
There was one knob-end on reddit in /r/blackfellas who claimed white people were “misrepresenting” Davis actions, that Davis was a “magical negro” who was going to be held up as an example to black people.
Then he went and yelled at Davis’ in his AMA, IIRC. Davis says he gets a lot of crap for his actions.
I like how the folks who say things like that don’t realize Davis is held up as an example to everyone, not just black people. Like a lot of bigots, they assume everyone is as bigoted as they are.
found something truly incredible today lads
but….
……I wonder……..
banana for scale
the fact that moray eels have a pharyngeal jaw that they can just…..move from the back of their throat is pretty fucking awesome but also terrifying. moray eels are filed under “sea creatures who i respect from a distance and that distance being on land from behind my computer screen”
crab: ah fuck im in a bit of a conundrum, maybe if i wiggle i can-
moray eels pharyngeal jaw: no

According to my calculations, this should be image #100 in this style challenge. So why not give that milestone honor to the first TV show I’ve been hired as a board artist for. This’ll be the first and last time I ever draw these guys on-model.
Here’s a fun fact: I put this on the queue and it was instantly flagged. I didn’t even know the Tumblr bots could view my queue!
it took me like 3 minutes to process the fact that this wasnt cgi

Jof from What a Cartoon’s short, “Help?”. A short so musically enamoring that when I watched it several years later after YouTube became a thing, I was able to recall every little motion and beat from my kid brain.
