Podcast appearances and mentions of Daryl Davis

The musician and actor Daryl Davis probably knows more about the Klu Klux Klan than any other living African-American. As the author of Klan-Destine Relationships and his latest The Klan Whisperer, Davis has written about not only his infiltration of the Klan but his befriending of regretful Klansmen like Scott Shepherd (My wife, Cassandra Knight, also wrote about her dinner with Shepherd). Davis' new book should probably be entitled My Life with the Klan. But as the ideas of the Klan have become more mainstream in the last few years, so the traditional KKK itself seems like a quaint relic of a more innocent past. In the old days, you had to hide under a white sheet to say dumb things about people of other colors or faiths. Now these same dumb assumptions are being openly peddled by powerful media figures and elected politicians. Here are the five KEEN ON AMERICA take-aways from our conversation with Davis:* The power of conversation as a tool against hatred: Davis emphasizes that conversation is "the greatest tool or weapon to dismantle conflict" despite being "the least expensive" and "the most underused." His approach involves engaging directly with KKK members to challenge their beliefs through dialogue rather than confrontation.* People can change their racist beliefs: Davis firmly believes that racist ideologies are learned behaviors that can be unlearned. He makes a distinction between inherent traits (like a leopard's spots) and acquired beliefs, arguing that "what can be learned can be unlearned." He provides concrete examples like Scott Shepard, a former Klansman who completely transformed his worldview.* Understanding racism through personal experience: Davis's background as a diplomat's son who traveled extensively gave him a unique perspective on racism. Having been exposed to diversity from an early age, he was shocked when he first experienced racism at age 10, which led to his lifelong quest to understand and combat prejudice.* Core human values transcend differences: Davis believes that regardless of background, all humans share five core values: wanting to be loved, respected, heard, treated fairly and truthfully, and wanting the same things for their families as others want for theirs. He uses this understanding as a foundation for connecting with people across ideological divides.* The importance of distinguishing between ignorance and stupidity: Davis makes a crucial distinction between people who are ignorant (lacking information) versus stupid (having information but ignoring it). He believes education and exposure can cure ignorance, which is why he focuses on providing information and personal connection to those with racist beliefs.Dr. Daryl Davis is an international recording artist who has performed and toured all 50 States and around the world.

Daryl Davis is a blues musician by profession. But his obsession outside of work is trying to understand what makes white supremicists tick. He's spent his life reaching out to Ku Klux Klan members and asking the question: Why do you hate me? Hear what drives his work, and how listeners relate to his story.

In a society fractured by division and fear, the call to love your neighbor as yourself shines brighter than ever. Through the story of blues musician Daryl Davis, who befriended members of the KKK, we see how compassion can dismantle hatred and build bridges. True compassion is more than sympathy; it's empathy with action, as Jesus showed us time and again. Reflecting on the parable of the Good Samaritan and biblical lessons of humility, listening, and sacrificial love, we are challenged to live out Christ's example, actively engaging with the suffering around us. When we choose compassion, we embody God's love, a love that breaks barriers and transforms lives.

ProcrastiN8rs don't like to spend more time and effort in things than they have to. So you shouldn't spend time or effort in relationships that are toxic. There are certain types of people out there that just SUCK. Literally. They suck you dry of your emotional, mental, and maybe even financial resources. Embrace your laziness and say goodbye to these people, cut them out of your life, instead of trying to unburn your burnt pizza, so to speak. No matter how much work or effort you put into fixing it, some things, like toxic relationships/friendships, are just so fundamentally destroyed that they can NEVER be salvaged or redeemed.

Daryl Davis a black blues musician will be speaking and performing at the Pennsylvania College of Art & Design in Lancaster Oct 4 at 3:30 p.m. Davis is currently the subject of an Independent Lens documentary. Davis says he was inspired musically by Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry. “I thought, my goodness, that's what I want to do. And what, you know, really inspired me about them was the fact that these two gentlemen and their contemporaries had made millions upon millions of people all over the world happy with their music. They had touched them.” Davis graduated from Howard University with a degree in jazz performance. He's played a lot of rock n' roll, country blues, boogie woogie, jazz, and big band swing. Davis performed with the late Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, and many other artists.  He believes music is a powerful uniting force. Davis is also the author of Klan-destine Relationships:  A Black Man's Odyssey where he speaks about the power of conversation to ignite positive change, understanding hate groups in America, and how music broke down racial barriers in the 1950's and 1980's. After the performance, a guy came up to Davis praising his performance. The man told Davis he was a member of the Klu Klux Klan. That interaction posed a question for Davis. A question that has been haunting hum since he was 10 years old. “How can you hate me? You don't even know me. It fell right into your lap, and you didn't even realize it. Because who is the best person to ask? Who better to ask that question of than someone who would go so far as to join an organization that has over a 100-year history of practicing hating people who don't look like that or who don't believe as they believe? Get back in contact with that Klansman and ask him to set you up with the Klan leader for the state of Maryland. To a state leader is known as a grand dragon. It's what you and I would call a governor who heads of state, a national leader. You and I would call a president. They call it the Imperial wizard. So, I you know, I've told him myself, you know, get back in contact with that guy. Get him to set you up with the Grand Dragon interview. The Grand Dragon. Go up north. Go down south. Go to the Midwest. Go to the West. Interview other grand dragons, imperial wizards and other members. And write a book about it. Because all the books written on the Klan have been written by white people, you know, who had more access, they could sit down and interview Klan people. No black person had done that. So, I decided I would write the first book as a black author from the perspective of sitting down face to face with Klan leaders and members and interviewing them. And that's how I started.” As Davis continued to ask that question by speaking with KKK members, some became his friends, left the Klan, and gave him their robes and hoods. “And today, I own a ton of Klan robes and Klan hoods that have been given to me by active KKK leaders and members because they no longer believe in what those things stand for. As a result of these conversations.”    Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“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.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

You aren't supposed to become friends with the people who hate you—but that's exactly what Daryl Davis did. After a chance encounter with a KKK member in a Maryland bar, Daryl struck up a friendship that changed both of their lives. The KKK member renounced the group, and Daryl got access to do the thing he wanted: become the first African-American to write a book on the KKK based on first-person interviews. Through the years, as the men Daryl has met and befriended have left the Klan behind, he's collected a closet full of their robes, flags, and memorabilia. Davis' is personally responsible for some 50 men leaving the Klan behind, and indirectly responsible for some 200 more. How? His secret weapon is friendship. He is an incredibly aggressive man with a story you have to hear to believe. 

I often wonder what Dr. Martin Luther King would think of today's world. He had a dream some 50-plus years ago, and I wonder if he would cry at the society that we have today. We've made some strides, but in some respects, we're more divided than ever. Today, Daryl Davis, the Black Klan Whisperer, and Gail Davis, President/Founder of GDA Speakers, are in the studio.

Daryl Davis: Dinner with the Enemy According to the FBI, US hate crimes are at the highest in over a decade. Right-Wing & Left-Wing Radicals are on the rise around the world. What's the solution? Government Legislation? Do we already have that? Stronger punishments? Maybe, but does it change anything, or does prison increase the hate? Perhaps we should all sit around, hold hands and sing, ‘Kumbaya'?    Let me put a radical idea forward. What if we decided to become genuinely curious about "them?" Imagine sitting down with someone who hates you/your kind and becoming curious about what we might have in common with those we've believed we have nothing in common with?  Well, that's where we're going on these upcoming episodes. Our guest is the extraordinary Daryl Davies.  Daryl is an award-winning musician, speaker, actor, author, and race reconciliator. Daryl Davis has presented no less than 4 TED Talks. He became the first Black author to interview KKK leaders and members, detailed in his highly acclaimed book, Klan-Destine Relationships.  As a Race Reconciliator and speaker, Daryl has received numerous awards and is often sought by CNN, MSNBC, NPR, and other media outlets as a consultant on race relations and White supremacy.   Website: DarylDavis.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/RealDarylDavis LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daryl-davis-5226b24   Part 1) When Technology and Ideology Match Examining Cause not Symptom Yoda the Musician A Passport to Diversity Is It True if it's in the History Books?
