In the 1980s, musician Daryl Davis set out to understand the Ku Klux Klan. So he started befriending members at Klan rallies and joined an all-white country band. Then, he met Imperial Wizard Roger Kelly. Davis spent years building a relationship with Kelly, establishing trust and, eventually, a friendship.

They ate meals at each others' homes while Davis listened to Kelly, seeking to see how he could hate a person like Davis without even knowing him. Eventually, Kelly started listening to Davis and left the Klan altogether, giving Davis his robes and hood. And over the past 30 years, Davis has now convinced over 200 former Klan members to walk away.

You can do a lot with patience, its the most powerful thing there is. Wish I had some.

And if only we were less judgemental and opinionated...

@Ryo1 Since I am not trying to convert anybody, I am able to enjoy being just as judgemental as I like, and its fun.
