      That's because he has unique social talents of a very high caliber. He can put nearly anyone sitting across from him completely at ease, and bring them into his confidence in a very unassuming and authentic way. It really is uncanny how well he accomplishes this. And the results clearly speak for themselves.
      Most folks have some kind of specialized talent-or "superpower" within them, should they develop it. Daryl Davis has clearly done very well at developing his. It really IS a good thing that he's on the side of the angels, as your statement infers here.

      Martin Luther King was a preacher. And he read his Kings James Bible. You can hear its influences and even quotes from the Bible when you listen to him speak. people who don't know the source material don't recognize it think all that wisdom came from just inside the mat. People who read the Bible do go yep Everytime he quotes or paraphrase the Bible. Because we know where his words of wisdom come from. Have you ever read Proverbs that's literally a book supposed to teach you wisdom. Read the first few chapters it gives away with the books about. read job hell everyone wanted him to curse out everything that was going wrong his life and he didn't he took responsibility even though he lost everything. Ecclesiastes has a sense of humor. Which I do love to quote. It's all tongue-in-cheek and dry wit. The Savior wrote Hebrews that's his book.

      @@df9679 Exactly. You can have freedom of speech, as long as you agree with them. Otherwise, you'll have your life ruined, and that's presuming you don't suffer extensive physical violence. Antifa is particularly scummy, they've been well known to hurt bystanders or people unrelated to their cause simply because they can. Not to mention their favorite garbage, blocking public roadways and claiming it's just their right to protest. They're a plague upon this country and every person who agrees with their morals and by extent methods needs to seriously reevaluate just what it is they want. Anyone who is associated with them should be arrested. There is a mighty good reason that they would be defined as a terrorist organization, if the United States had a way to do so for domestic organizations. Unfortunately, people are starting to cave under the hate and violence, and the country is just in a slow downward spiral, as people like Daryl Davis here try to work damage control

I call bullshit...but ok.Simply put, these morons (* correction murders) decided to Illegally take the law into their own hands, by approaching Ahmaud Ahbery and outright committed murder. How did that “genius” plan work out? A man is dead and Tom & Jerry are behind bars awaiting trail for murder. All for nothing! The house did not have anything of value. In fact, the house was basically a frame under construction. “If” Ahbery entered the empty house, it was likely on the basis of curiosity. People do it all of the time. So what!!! This was a heinous crime unjustifiably committed all for NOTHING! Period!!! Sounds like a modern day lynching to me🤔 Not to mention, the property “UNDER CONSTRUCTING ” was not even their’s!!!!

      【 Chilael 】 Suspicion or not, they took the law into their own hands. Here’s an idea 💡 Call the police if you have a suspicion! Understandably people tend to look out for their neighbors, but you do not kill someone in doing so. Did I miss something or are we talking about an empty property under construction?!! What was Ahberry attempting to steal, lumber? 🤔 Even if it looked like the “so called” guy who committed a string of break-ins, people are not always correct in identifying an alleged perpetrator, would you agree? Do you know the amount of times there is mistaken identity? It happens quiet frequently. Even if AA was running out of the house, whose life was in immediate danger? He was running away! Also, AA initially hid when the noticed the men chasing him down in a pickup truck. He then came out from hiding to find ARMED men demanding to question him. By the way, it’s AA’s right NOT to answer any questions by two strangers. Oh, let’s not forget there was a 3rd guy in a vehicle attempting to block AA from leaving, while recording the incident. Let me repeat, AA was by himself confronted by ARMED men! Clearly, any human would be terrified. One guy gets out the pickup truck (ARMED) and a fight begins to ensue. Seriously! These guys had NO right to physically approach or probe him! Call the freaking police! Not that that’s any better, hence George Floyd. Bottom line there was no one in immediate danger, except Ahmad Ahberry! This was unquestionably a lynching. If you want to stand by your rationale for committing murder, that’s your prerogative. This was a deliberate murder by white men taking the law into their hands, and ultimately killing a black man. This shit has to STOP!!! #Blacklivesmattertoo

Obama's administration was a disaster from start to finish. Syria, ISIS, violence still on-going all across the US, but because he is black he got along with it pretty well. The majority of cities facing high rates of police brutality right now are not only run by Democrats but have each part of the system being occupied by Dems, even in the police itself. Tell me, who's to blame? I say FUCK politics, every one of them should be held accountable for all of their disgraces, but people are just ignorant to the facts because they don't exercise INDIVIDUAL thinking and self-critic. They just point their fingers to a scapegoat and say "we should vote blue this year". Like, for real?

    The point about how Trump wants to ‘break the bones of America’ is truly pretty amazing and something I never actually thought about, most of us stand here saying “Oh this guy is just a bunch of bullshit” and for the most part I agree with that statement, but after hearing what he said. I agree with his points and I think that maybe they will get it right. Truly motivating (:

      The trump breaking America thing a lot of black Americans have that narrative and I have heard quite a few influential black Americans say the same thing, that way if thinking is born out of being part of a marginalized group I've noticed that White people tend to be more surprised by that thinking just because it's not really something a white person would have to contend with thinking about.
