- What do you do when someone just doesn't like you? I mean really, really not like you. And you know it. And what if that person, or those people, have made an open show of that dislike, without apology. What would you do? Davis is no stranger to this experience and has chosen a unique, and often viewed controversial, approach to such ponderings. He uses his boogie woogie piano to open doors to conversations that few would venture to start. Daryl endeavors to improve race relations and does not shy away from "reaching across the aisle" to members of the KKK. Daryl Davis is an American R&B and Blues musician, author, actor and bandleader, known for his energetic style of Boogie Woogie piano. Davis has played with such musicians as Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, B.B. King, Bruce Hornsby, and Bill Clinton. His efforts to improve race relations, in which as an African-American he engaged with members of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), have been reported on by media such as CNN, Newsweek Magazine, and the Washington Post. Davis summed up his advice as: "Establish dialogue. When two enemies are talking, they're not fighting." Daryl received rave reviews for his stage roles in William Saroyan’s The Time Of Your Life with a famed cast of Marcia Gay Harden, Brigid Cleary, Richard Bauer, Dion Anderson, and Henry Strozier. Davis was a key player in Elvis Mania which was extended by two months due to popular demand in New York City at an off-Broadway theatre. He appeared in two episodes of the critically acclaimed HBO series, The Wire. Davis is the author of the nonfiction book Klan-Destine Relationshipsand he is the subject of the documentary Accidental Courtesy. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
"How can you hate me when you don't even know me?" Now that is a powerful question that not only applies to racial contexts, but also other social contexts. Well said
Can they answer this for us????
"When two enemies are talking, they're not fighting."
@Caroline Nelson so then as long as one can prolong the information collecting(talking) then they cant destroy destroy each other?
@Caroline Nelson thats a debate not a conversation, they werent arguing. And they respect eachothers views whether they agree or not. What are your views on the kkk? I feel that this will be interesting
@Caroline Nelson That's why they are still 'enemies', but they are not fighting.
@@anneaunyme No.
I don't know why you ask that? Is that a joke? Are you kidding? Is it a play of words?
If so, then you're fine.
If not, I will go for your logic and ask: are her and I enemies?
If we are, have you asked me if I started fighting?
“Its when the talking ceases, that the ground becomes fertile for violence.” Damn that’s powerful

This man went up to the CEO of Racism and made him resign

He didn't MAKE him resign. The guy made a CHOICE to resign. That made all the diff. No one can make anyone do anything.

They murdered him too !

@Rheumattica That's the best ? Nothing to see here people just a kid !
He didn't blame, attack or call the KKK wizard names like so many people would be tempted to do. He just listened - that's it. Listening melted Roger Kelly's fiery facade and brought back his humanity.
that kkk leader is dead now
lezamac6
Is there a point to your comment? Daryl Davis May have saved that mans eternal soul before he passed over. Nevertheless, wtf does that have to do with what tubez4321 said....
lezamac6 roger Kelly isn’t dead. Daryl still talks about him to this day and says they’re still very good friends.
@JONES Hrm. That's a pretty bleak view man - are you sure about it?
@@lezamac6 yes thank god
He killed those keys at the end🔥🔥🔥
What a performance 🔥
He sure did!!! What a talent and an inspiration!!! it brought tears to my eyes!
Yes he did! 🎹 Legit gave me a new appreciation for whatever kind of music that is 🔥🔥🔥
Amazing. Yes he sure did kill it on the piano 🔥🔥🔥
thats 💯 what that klan member said at that bar
This man has an incredible amount of clarity and self control . A master level human being at not getting triggered . I bow to you sir .
Right! Because most of us can’t 😆 We are all so easily triggered in this day and age 🫣
There's always room for improvement, his self control while eating for instance.
I hope he gets his health in order so he can grace us with his presence for a while longer.
@@m.g.3913 the subtilty of the toxicity in that comment was world class.

This comment needs to be heard more now than ever
Indeed
Yajie Liu I didn’t know the first amendment defends a terrorists’ right to promote terror.
One of the GREATEST quotes or statements
EVER spoken.!
This video is so criminally underrated
No, not really. This same lecture has been given in multiple TEDx Talks videos with many more views than this one. Not only that, I personally find those other lectures to be slightly better than this one.
@@banaantjexx164 thanks for letting us know, I'll look for others, cause if this one was so great, the other ones must be amazing!!!!
I agree and someone also needs to change the title, (so it gets more views) this title doesn't attract attention. Something like "I changed the view of the leader of the KKK"
@@banaantjexx164 not hard to post up video link
@@banaantjexx164 I agree, what other videos?
"Nothing was learned at that moment, but the lesson was taught" this is a man the understands the power of reflection.
I was thinking the same thing.
Yes he does understand that. Reflection does not seem to be a skill held by the Klan leader. Intellect and a will to see inside yourself to make some sense of things ... can be avoided for whole lifetimes by you mind.
@@ClarityDetermination I think the clan leader evidently did reflect upon his beliefs, because he quit the clan.
As for reflection: it is anyone's duty to reflect, to examine oneself as well, not as badly, as one would examine another well. We all examine one another, but it calls to mind the saying: 'a life unexamined is not worth living.' ~Socrates
Yes, but do we really know what a person has learned? Actions & speech do not always convey what a person has learned or not. Sometimes it takes time to show what we learned for possibly a host of reasons like habit & peer pressure.
@@thebeanymac then that may be mine. and that similiarity with destruction of ones life.
This brought me to tears. Wish everyone could understand that screaming and berating people that disagree with you isn't the answer.
Yes , if someone is contrary, arguing with them only creates a reason for their defensiveness.
The only way you can get the to change is by supporting them as a human, and then offering alternatives to this outdated way of racism
@@christopherfoxwallace1291 it isn’t just racism, a lot of people subscribe to political ideologies that are even more toxic.
Then why did you vote in the Democrat party, you dope
This Ted talk should be showed to all kids in middle school and high school as these are the minds of the future generation that needs to know the truth! Good bless Daryl Davis! Loved the talk!
Ya but that would make people too smart
Sharms04. God bless him too lol
I agree!
He played that damn keyboard like somebody owed him money.
No need. This guy owns the piano. He don't need to rent.
I know right,
he was unbelievable on that!
What do you mean? Are you talking about the way he was looking at the crowd?
@@ConsumeristScroffa lol, its an expression. It basically means he played very well
This one is very strong in The Force.
How is this guy not more famous? He can really tear down the barriers of hatred in this world and, on top of that, he's an amazing musician! I'm astounded!
OMG too many typos. Ugh
@@kellykirkpatrick8978 Huh?
True greatness like his does not want want or need personal elevation. Their gift is their message
Because too many Jesse Jackson's and Al Sharptons of the world make money from the ignorance and the fear.
Because he doesn’t play the “race” game of identity politics.

"It's when the talking ceases that the ground becomes fertile for violence. So keep the conversation going."
Truly inspiring.
Daryl Davis has got to be one of the most straightforward, rational, and respectful men on earth.

How has this man not been awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom?

Yeah
Man, I have so much respect for this man. He truly represents the "be the change you want to see in the world" philosophy.
We need more people like Daryl. Someone that doesn’t just scream “racial inequality”, but actually tries to change things, and doesn’t judge anyone regardless of race, views or anything. He actually tries to change things vs sitting around yelling.
This guy is legit someone i look up to. He's such an inspiration.
I agree, but it is easier to scream "racial inequality" than to change oneself. We all need a special kind of courage to sit and listen to people we deem "different" from ourselves. We can all be people like Daryl. Have a grand day!
Nietzsche: "Only strong personalities can endure history, the weak ones are extinguished by it."
@Fires And Flowers Right.
Fires And Flowers Wouldn't that be something? ! But abusers are weak individuals who abuse others to make themselves feel strong whereas the victim's become strong by being forced to endure their abuse. Many abusers are Narcissists unable or unwilling not sure which, to see their faults and change. Those who meekly follow and enable them are just as bad.

🤣 that’s great!!
Daryl Davis' method for fighting racism is the most effective and constructive I've ever seen, been following him for a while now, the caliber of racists he's turned around is amazing.
Instead of division and violence he opts for unity, and he's a damn fine musician as well.
Now if only we had 1 million of him maybe we could turn this country around. (Needing 1 million heros to save us is as strong a condemnation of our country that I can think of)
@@scoobydoobers23 we can all learn from him for sure.
Hard to do when people are unwilling to listen im afraid. People like this needs bigger platforms.
Mark,
I disagree, you can’t approach everyone, and it appears to me that Davis acts as if he is Jesus, and can save everyone With constant conversation when in fact he can’t. doing this can make things worse sometimes. his goal should be is to not get the kkk to surrender to him, but to Jesus only. The best way to help is to pray for him and let god take control, and that is something that Davis is NOT DOING, which doesn't make him the ideal model Example for all.
@@2delicious57 The KKK are already Christians, so if you think a religious debate getting them to change their view on christianity would be more productive than a humanist one... well, good luck with that.
When someone doesn’t like you, give them minimum interaction or communication. Don’t beg for their attention, respect yourself.
That's what I was thinking.It's better to keep our focal point & put our efforts towards the people in our lives that deserve our attention, instead of wasting them on those that mightn't even have good intentions for us
@@carpathianken Daryl did no begging, and he also did not "avoid". I want to be more like him, but it is difficult. Imagine the patience and tolerance he had to have to achieve this outcome. No immediate gratification, no assurance of a good outcome, but he stayed with it.
@@dalewilliams4359
I’d rather be with a group of people where I’m appreciated than just tolerated.
@@benisrael5169 Yes, I think we all would. But isolation leads to the fear and polarization that is so prevalent today-- the "us vs them". I am sure Daryl drew strength through his journey from the people who appreciated him. And he ended up adding one more soul to the circle.
Of course we would rather be with people who appreciate us. But what this man did. Has real meaning.
"How can you hate me when you don't even know me" resonated with me
My father had a similar saying.
this needs to be the most watched ted talk
Sam Kull I actually think it's the least watched
I was thinking how they need to play this in every high school in America.
^ You nailed it!
Share, share, share! I've emailed this to ALL of my son's teachers asking them to seriously consider showing it in their classes and possibly even to the whole school. Mainstream media wants division to keep a division in voters for the separate party's, in order to rise above this we need to be the ones to act! ONE LOVE 💗
I agree cause I really enjoy an learn a lot from TED Talks, God Bless!
Daryl knows that the best way to defeat your enemies is to make them your friends!
So how many enemies are now your friends?
Easy to say, when you're not the one who has the KKK camped outside your house burning crosses and holding nooses. Stay in your damn lane and don't talk about things you know nothing about.
True
@@lesleykramer7207 I take it you disapprove of Mr. Davis' actions, then? Also, you don't get to control what other people say--they'll speak their minds anyway. Get used to it.
Well, in the military they say that you defeat an enemy by defeating the goal he wants to achieve via fighting. This can be by presenting them an easier to achieve, attractive alternative or, like in this case, by making them abandon their believe thus taking away their will to fight.
He should be remembered as a hero in African-American history
- African
Why wouldn't he be a hero for white American history?
How about just American history? 😉
Nathaniel Tan Then you didn't listen to this video.
@@Nonchalant81s what about Human history?
One of the most beautiful human beings I've ever heard. We all need to take a lesson from him
Daryl Davis is a great man!! Wish more people in this world had his perspectives
Me too
This guy gets it. Racism can only be ended when both sides can be allowed to speak what they feel in a tough conversation. When you try to force someone to conform to a politically correct mindset, you are only trying to control their outward monolog, however by showing respect for everyones right to think, even wrongly, a conversation can take place that can be transformative.
Say that to those antifa "anti-racists"
DjDocHolland Agree
Very well said.
Being honest about fears and wishes might help. But when that comes out as words that speak of harming the other, killing the other, destroying their lives. That's not helpful. Only scary, and breeds more fear and hate. So if both sides can be honest and vulnerable, if they even know themselves well enough to find that. And speak it. Then this will help.
and sometimes it is best to just not talk, nothing nice to say than nothing to talk about.
It must take an unimaginable amount of bravery and courage for him to go to a clan rally. I feel like they should tell this story in school or something
"I wasn't there to fight with him; I was there to learn from him."
i'm so blessed to have been able to see him perform and talk multiple times. My dad runs in some of the same musician groups that Daryl engaged with. He is a wonderful person, and a ridiculously talented keys player.
Yup, and he’s humble enough to stop by the local open mikes to check out the talent, or even join in.
Who wouldn't like this man? He's amazing in every way. Want to be liked? Be like him.
KaKel53, I'll tell you some of the people who wouldn't even like Daryl. Try my 24 year old haughty narcissistic next door neighbor who wrote me a text last week, out of the clear blue that went something like this: "You are very pathetic .... yadayada blabla. You did this, you did that, you drove away all your children in your whole life, etc, etc."
I replied, "What children?"
Then I did a quick check on You Tube in order to find out precisely what kind of narcissist she in fact was! Well Bingo! Took me me less than 5 minutes to find this great 14 minute video by Les Carter, PhD. entitled I think it is "How to Identify a Covert Malignant Narcissist."
Highly recommend!!! Guess what he tells you in it? "They will tell you things like, 'YOU ARE VERY PATHETIC'!"
LMAO
we need to learn from people like him.
A friend of mine is a reformed neonazi, from what I heard listening to DMX made him change his mind about the racism taught to him. Music can be powerful.
Guacamole well dmx always seems like a straight up dude. Being straight forward and honest is a rare thing sadly so.
Who was listening to DMX? You or your friend?
Which song that DMX made that inspired your friend?
Music is very powerful!
Nah fam
martin kuther king jr would love this guy
10,000 subscribers without any videos You may not know who Martin Luther King Jr. is then... he actually admitted his “I Have Dream” speech was naive of him.
They would be best friends

I think this dude is more akin to Malcolm X that MLK honestly.
I wish I had this mans strength. I wish more people in general had anywhere near this mans strength and wisdom.
Daryl Davis is a *Hero* in the truest sense of the word.
He is very brave to meet with Klan leaders knowing how they feel about his race.
"Keep the conversation going ....", wise words in these days of suppression and cancellation. Communication, even poor communication, beats repression.
What a great spirit and soul this man has.
If you like liars. A complete make up story.
@@patrick707100 What makes you say that?

That’s one talented, patient and intelligent man. Planted a seed that grew strong enough to break the solid barrier of ignorance. Keep the dialogue going. Very practical Ted Talk. Thank you.
I wish everyone could be as rational as this wonderful man! Breaking the chains of fear!
What an intelligent and humble man. Certainly someone of whom many can learn from.
This is so not what I was expecting. I feel so bad that those arseholes pelted his 10yo self with cans etc. What an amazing and brave man to put himself in such dangerous situations. Not many other people could get past the initial hate factor and remain as level headed and articulate as this gentleman. The bloke rocks that piano!
Hate factor? He is not the one who was filled with hate.
@@Michelle-pn9xt no I wasn't talking about him being hateful. I'm on about him feeling their hate and overcoming their prejudices and unfair biases. This guy is, in my eyes, the perfect role model for young people being bullied and terrorised by their peers. Or anyone for that matter.
"Violence occurs when the conversation stops." This guy's outlook is incredible...great piano player, great man.
He's very good at talking about unconscious bias without calling it out.
There's nothing unconscious about bias.
What is unconscious bias ?
KkK has unconscious bias?
I have no idea why this came to my feed today. But this is an amazing story. We definitely need to listen to each other, and not what others tell us. This was awesome!
I have the complete upmost respect for this man. God bless him

Wow. Finally a real life example of love defeating hate. I enjoyed this and certainly can apply it to my own life too.
Now THIS is the definition of an intelligent man! Kudos to him for his humanitarian work and that awesome musical piece!
Absolutely brilliant.
Actually yes
daryl knows what he’s doing; i have so much respect for this guy
the piano brought them together and therefore has more power than racism.
The piano allowed a conversation to begin. Conversation and time brought them together.
I’ve said for along time that music is a uniting force.
The music at the end was so powerful. Just to think that something so joyful can start a journey of reconciliation.
So much wisdom...I could listen to Mr. Davis for hours on end. His words captured so much truth and his music transcended the divide between races. Wow, the world needs more of him!
this dude is woke af
waxpants true wokeness is finding solutions vs poitning out problems. i wish we could all think like him and have balls
I think that they burst out laughing highlights the cosmic joke of this very absurdity called life.
woke..millenial gibberish
'Woke' is a direct pointer to the fact that one who uses the term .. is far from enlightened . .as they are using a word outside of its correct context.
nah, more like he's awake. ive found that people who use the term woke are usually the people who are asleep to whats going on in the world. Ironic as it is.
Love this guy's passion and compassion.

Literally would probably eat your heart
Powerful
I admire Daryl Davis; I don’t know if I could have the same tolerance but I really do admire and respect his intellectual curiosity. “Ignorance breeds fear, fear breeds hatred and hatred breeds destruction.” “People learn racism through dialog. If you learn racism through dialog you can unlearn racism through dialog.”
This man is a Genius.
Just seeing this in 2019...I’m truly impressed with his courage, bravery and intelligence to take on such a task in order to gain knowledge about his adversary’s point view. What a story! I mean for the member to eventually have a true change of by developing a friendship heart warms my heart and shows that there can be change if one is open to it. AND His piano skills blew my mind 🤯! Daryl Davis, wow! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾
Wow. This man is incredible.
I love Daryl as a human being. He is inspiring by words and deeds. Far more impressive than many of our "Hollywood heroes". Imagine the sheer guts this guy has. Getting the heretofor absolutely unthinkable done.
I could listen to this man's story 100 times and not get bored of it. He's my main inspiration for every conversation I have about racism.
Very very smart guy: polite and politic. A true diplomat! And an artist too; if you compare it to his past Talk, you'll see how he rewrote his speach... 👏👏👏 Klap Klap Klan!
rewrote his speech? what?
Sonic Bralaunik yes! Last presentation he told the same speech, the same history, but with more meanless details. Now, he's telling the same thing, but more directly, clearly and in shorter time, in a way that, in this speech, he's even capable to express more ideas, because he's been more concise.
Good, I hope he gets better at speaking publicly. It's a learned skill and I like him and his ideas. So the more he learns how to express himself, the better for me.
I actually felt the additional details in his original Ted Talk helped pack more emotional punch.
@@eggsnspam What are you talking about? He's a great public speaker and *expresses* himself extremely well.
There are truly no words for how much respect and love I have for this man. His stance and view on humanity is the epitome of LOVE. LOVE conquers ALL. We ALL need to learn how to put away our pride and humble ourselves. It is pride and ignorance that fuels hate and division. Respect and love to you good sir! 💗👏👏👏
wow , i have nothing but respect for this gentleman right here ..I learned a valuable lesson from this talk , 'if you have an adversary you don't have to respect what they're saying , but respect their right to say it , and have that conversation "
This needs to be shon EVERYWHERE!!! Now that man is AWESOME! He has awesome spirit!
I meant shown
The best, most enlightening TED talk I've ever seen, not just based on a feel-good story, but rather a no nonsense look at the long road to understanding. The hard work it takes to unshackle and remove the weight of years of troubling inner conflict and soul destroying hate. Imagine how good it must feel for Mr. Kelly to stop carrying that heavy bag of hate filled stones off his shoulders and stand up straight in front of god, or just himself in the mirror? The truth will set you free they say...

"I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some." 1st Cor. 9:22
What I am most impressed by is all of his white scout leaders, the den mothers, den dads, and scoutmasters, who rushed over to protect him. The haters were nowhere near the majority in that crowd, as he observed.
This is a man who's message is so real. So many "anti"racists are all about instigating hate. This guy is the real deal, I'm very impressed!
Wow! I have witnessed true human greatness!
Daryl for President 2020
This guy is one of many like myself that's trying to end racism, Breaking the chain of hate starts with us teaching the next generation, I'm okay with mixed culture relationships reason being
Not everyone is 100% pure race, We're all humans (equal), What makes us different is money and status, But at the end of the day we all are the same
We bleed the same color of blood which is red, May God bless america and everyone else Amen.
God bless you.
Very true Team BSAA. I would go further and say that its highly likely that NO ONE is 100% pure race so we just need to love, appreciate and accept one another.
We are all God's children, and we were all lovingly crafted by him. It took millions of years for God to craft all of us from carbon atoms and energy. We are all bound together as a species. Let's all love one another.
A lot of people believe that there is more good than bad in the world I do not. I believe that humanity’s tendency is toward selfishness and greed and fulfillment of our base desires. It is a precious few that choose to rise above this mentality. It is a struggle but a noble one and it needs to be fought. This man is banishing ignorance and foolishness two very old enemies of humanity
We need you now
So impressive. Guys like this are what keep the whole show rolling.
We have here a gentleman Thai is the pride of our human race that with calm , peace and hear heart convinced another fertile human being to realized that was wrong and made it RIGTH . Thank you to both of you.!
Proactive Communication Is The Key To Success..
This is one of my favorite Talk ever! More humans like this man are needed on this earth! Hallelujah! Amen
He certainly is a great man! Although i hate to say it, the KKK man gets my respect for listening to and learning to respect this man.
Something in his heart told him to listen to Davis. That something led him out of the KKK.
Respect breeds respect

This man went up to the CEO of Racism and they, together, came to a realization of what HUMANITY REALLY IS!
When I hear Mr. Davis speak, I'm convinced that there is still hope for America and the world.
I love Daryl ❤️ and thank him and his secretary for being so brave.
