"At the age of 10, I formed a question in my mind, which was: how can you hate me when you don't even know me? And now, for the next 56 years, I've been looking for the answer to that question."
The son of American Foreign Service members, Daryl Davis grew up in many different countries and was exposed to a variety of cultures, religions, and ideologies. He became an internationally renowned musician, touring and performing 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.
"When 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," says Mr. Davis.
Today, Mr. Davis 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.
"People ask me: Daryl, why don't you burn that stuff? No, I'm not going to burn it," says Mr. Davis, referring to his Klan paraphernalia. "Yes, it is despicable. But it's also a part of our history. And you don't burn our history: the good, the bad, the ugly, and the shameful. You expose it, so it doesn't happen again."
In this episode, we dive into Mr. Davis's childhood, his passion for music, his encounters with the Klan, and the methodology he uses for helping them to renounce their racism.
"The greatest weapon to combat racism, anti-Semitism, [and] all types of discrimination is the least expensive weapon known to man. It’s free, yet it is the most underused. It's called conversation," says Mr. Davis.
