@@T0ghar Indeed. What Mr. Peace and Tranquility seems to fail to understand is that while, yes, suffering as a result of oppression might indeed foster hatred, what that quote means is that fear, especially when it comes from a position of ignorance, can start a chain reaction. These people are angered by what they don't understand, which, if not controlled, leads to unbridled hate which can often not be reasoned with. Of course, what comes next is the suffering by the target of that fear as we clearly saw on display in New Zealand.

This is my first comment on RUclips....I am in tears while writing this. This man has given hope to everyone on this “rock” ! What a beautiful soul and if I could, I would give him the biggest hug possible. Much love ❤️ from Canada 🇨🇦
When I was younger a few of my friends were going down the rabbit hole of fear and I went down with them for a period of time. I couldn't keep track of the stereotypes and just got a job instead. It was easier to just find something else to do then to sit around and do drugs and find reasons to hate people i never met. I don't talk to them anymore and I wonder if they are still stuck in that state of mind but i don't waste much time. For me and I imagine for many others, it's education and jobs. Find work, that exposes you to people, go to school, that teaches history and facts and critical thinking. These eliminate fear and ignorance.
Right on.......bless you. I'm glad you got away from those guys, people like that are very toxic no matter what color or race they are. I'm glad you're more at peace. 😊

I have massive respect for this man Frank Meeink! Turning your life around and coming out of being brainwashed is an extremely hard thing to do. You know, we can all be easily smug and proud of ourselves for being born in liberal environments and having love and peace just planted into our head as we grew, but having hate planted into your head and uprooting that hatred away that you have held all your life upto that point is incredibly challenging, frustrating and difficult. Just imagine everything you ever believed in your life not being true! Yeah, pretty difficult stuff to do! I laud and applaud this man for his bravery and courage! He's my new hero

All we can do is to try our best to correct our wrongs before its all said and done. Respect to you my brother and thanks for the change. Remember we are all sinners for the day we are born to the day we are gone.

Logical way They bleed the same color They came from a mother They came from a father They have family They put their pants on the same way...One leg at a time They have their own ways People have forgotten what the meaning of.. Do not tread on me really means! Get out and meet some people no matter who and where they are from. Open your mind and open that heart chakra and let your soul sour and heal the damages of HISTORY. It just takes that one step, that one hand shake, that one conversation, that one smile, that one helping hand to change everything for you and them and for the rest of society. Empathy... if you can be blessed with anything more pure in life choose EMPATHY not ampathy but EMPATHY and you will be the blessing We are human

Dont thank him! For what? Becoming a decent human being? This is ridiculous how everyone thinks he us great. HE IS NOT! People that have been good people all their lives should be celebrated! Not some former evil person.
A S & Hope : There’s nothing wrong with thanking him, for speaking out, challenging evil, showing that you CAN change your life and do good with it. He does so at personal risk, as a target of those who will never forgive him. He can be thanked for THAT, with a clear conscience. People like him are NECESSARY, right now. Can you SEE that?
@@ashroskell I understand what you are saying I really do I just dont agree. I grew up in an era when neo nazism was rampant. It was AWFUL! and American history X was a fuel to that fire. That movie doesn't make nazism look bad it glorifies it. This man is not to be thanked for being good. Let's ask his victims and their families what they think? Who are WE to thank him as if he is a saint, without knowing what the victims and victims families think. Should we ask the holocaust survivors and their families. It's always so easy when you haven't been a victim to crime to sit there and applaud from a distance. Let me tell you if he did the things to my brother he wouldn't be forgiven. He would be dead in the dirt.
@John Smith. From what I understand, a fourth person who was arrested in New Zealand shooting was doing just that. Pulled his own gun out to assist police shoot the shooter. Could have been shot by police himself. Lucky ending, he was released from custody. Could have been worse.
Sahih Bukhari (52:177) - Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him."
Very well constructed, deep and thoughtful interview. No finger pointing, no blaming anyone in particular.. just getting inside this guys mind. 7 minutes was way too short for this segment. I could have listened to this guy talk about his experiences, first conversations with someone(s) in other religions that caused his heart to warm, etc.
I found it really interesting and encouraging to see this man's interview. It was beautiful to hear that he has found friendship and compassion and empathy with other people that he used to hate. He has connected with his inner sense of basic humanity. "Empathy with humility is how we get humanity." truer words were never spoken.
The irony in this is that white NZers and Australians were all British colonialists/prisoners so just who is replacing who....Why is it never a problem when Europeans replace native populations??
asentzio Not all Europeans, but some are ignorant and indenial. Always have been, always will be. They're just sad little people who couldn't fully over throw NZ. Maori have not been replaced, they still claim some of the land and have the rich economy. Hence the treaty. Trying to debunk it, by trying to find evidence of other settlers. Which there is none.
@@forestalmo2417 That's still no proof. Just like they say Spaniards were here before Maori, then it was Chinese and the Chileans, then vikings? If any of these cultures were here, (and this gets questioned by others) why didn't they colonize? Where are they? Did Maori eat them? P.S Lol, after reading that garbage, this person now states Europeans were here. Go figure. If that was the case, Maori probably wouldn't have stood a chance to settle on this land. Who's next on the list.
@@TheHayniko Actually they found a settlement far north years ago and they destroyed it fyi and my brother is a historian and also Maori so shut the fuck up . Also easter Islanders could been before them . There's heaps of evidence to prove the Maori weren't the first here . Vikings are white people lol and they were traveling around the oceans in 1100 bc long before the Maori
Frank got it right, felt like an inadequate man. Fear being the basis for this, fear of not being adequate within themselves. No higher purpose, living for just selfish reasons, not for others, love of other. Must call them out, starting with Trump. We must change, hate doesn’t stop hate. Make a friend today, change.
This is to me is a very powerful video. Frank Meeink could do a lot to change how these hate groups think. He has the capability of speaking to these hate groups and perhaps changing some minds. Thank you so much for having Frank Meeink on your show. I hope you will have him on again, and that many more news shows will broadcast how he himself was ignorant and full of hate himself once. He gave me hope today. Thank CNN and Mr. Meeink.
It is very important to listen to this man.he has done a long journey of understanding. He should be a speaker at colleges and different places.his wisdom comes from the pain he experience. Now he is an example of redemption. I wish him the best.
Doctor Jodie Aren’t you a little old to be using RUclips? Get back on your typewriter and write I hate trump 200 times hoping it will change something but In reality you’re going to break down into tears and have flashbacks of your high school crush dating your best friend and going off to live happily ever after.
Wow this man has been through so much thank God he figured it out most people wont. Hopefully he continue to grow and teach others seeing and hearing people like him help make me a better person because it opens the door for change in me to better myself by first changing the way I think. May God continue to bless you an your family this life is hard but it is so worth it.
CNN, these are the videos you need more of. Not endless videos of Cuomo and the other guy trying to explain things everybody already knows. You need communication now to take away that fear.
Lommy Dude, this is CNN. Do you know how often they use actors? Like, all the time. This dude’s probably an actor/liar. It always is with the Communist News Network.
I finished watching this short interview and said “wow that is awesome” out loud. Men like him gives me hope. We are all the same specie, why do we need to kill each other beats me. Thank you 🙏🏼
These very basic skills (empathy, kindness, etc) are not natural to many people. They need to be taught gradually through daily human interaction. My child is in first grade and I see absolutely ZERO focus on these very important skills in his classroom. There are 30 6 year olds for 1 adult 6.5 hours a day in his class. Reality is a lot of parents of children today were not taught these things themselves (if they even HAD parents to raise them), and even classes like "home economics" that were in high school do not exist. We throw a lot of very unprepared, emotionally immature people into the "adult world" every day and expect them to perform without defects? Come on....
Sahih Bukhari (52:73) - "Allah's Apostle said, 'Know that Paradise is under the shades of swords'." Sahih Bukhari (11:626) - [Muhammad said:] "I decided to order a man to lead the prayer and then take a flame to burn all those, who had not left their houses for the prayer, burning them alive inside their homes."
Trump has said the same thing, he said that he would go to someone on like what, 44th street, shoot someone and then said nothing would happen to him. Frank Meeink is an incredible survivor of something so crazy and is a great leader/example for humanity. Great interview.
That's one of thr reasons I'd say some of them get out of it, it's hard to keep the momentum up forever. They are kind of brave to get out, how scary it must be to try and get out of a hate group. They probably don't make it easy for you either.
Thank you Frank and CNN. That was excellent advice and information about why people join hate groups and how to best deal with their members i.e. not through violence or opposition but by getting to know them and discussion.
@Dr Professor - Not sure how that is a response to what I posted, but okay, here goes... I do wipe my feet at the door in in some houses (where expected), take my shoes off and put house slippers on. In some houses, I belch after a meal, as it is expected and in some I use a knife and a fork to eat one small bite at a time while in others I slurp the soup as it as a compliment to the cook. Culture are different. Cultures make up the fabric of the US and the World. Some have more overlap than others. Some are more survivalist than others. Some are more entitled than others. There is nothing but good that comes from learning about other cultures if you the individual chooses to make it so. There are bad people in all cultures. Most cultures are about the welfare of the community, not just the individual (which is why they survived as a culture). What are the things you are worried about that culture bring with them? What are you worried about that people regardless of culture bring with them? These are two very different things. Most crimes being committed by people from other cultures are crimes in their culture. That is the individual. Some things that a culture considers to be okay to do may be looked down upon or even be considered criminal in another culture. That is the culture. My question to you is what are your fear/experiences in each of these two categories?
Applause for him for realizing his way and coming out of that hate as he called it, truth is there is no stopping it all, comes down to individuals such as himself breaking away from it
I condemn this act against humanity. This is untolerable and the guilty must be assassinated in public. My support is with the affected and the world supports you.
Terrorism is, in the broadest sense, the use of intentionally indiscriminate violence as a means to create terror among masses of people; or fear to achieve a financial, political, religious or ideological aim.
lol Bless him.......so glad he was able to over come hate. I can just about bet you he is happier at life and more at peace. When you're going around hating on everybody and waking up with this hate everyday it can drain you and can be very exhausting and can even cause health issues. This is why I don't sweat the haters because I know deep down they miserable, the poor things. 🙂
Our present environment is changing. All that Governments have brought us is War and arguments. This guy is still on edge. You won't end clubs of men being rivals as long as you have militarys & governments. Period.
Great interview. Let's keep in mind that Trump froze funding to fight right-wing extreme hate groups in 2017. Not sure if he modified his position since then...
Thank you sir. The answer to fear is familiarity. The answer to ignorance is investigation. The answer to racism is cultural awareness. The answer to hate is love.
Combat hate with love . There is a program called life after hate. They are former skin heads ...And they help people just like they were ..And as Samantha bee says , " hug a Nazi". ( air hug ) .
Practice empathy with humility, and you get humanity.
Beautiful.

Listen to his talks. Franks a real one.
I like CNN's hate group mentality because I need my daily dose of Orange Man Bad News. We need to hate orange man because our lives would be empty without hatred and whining. CNN's 24/7 hate campaign gives us the fuel we need to go on.

Z Just watched his interview on the David Pakman Show, and I have to thank you for that; the man is operating on a level of consciousness that is freakin’ amazing!
Thanks, again!

RUSSIAN BOT!!!!!!!!
Franks body language along with his eyes are dripping with love . He walks the way he talks .Frank is also super
Intelligent perhaps hovering near genius level.
This is what the press should be doing but they get distracted by stupidity, petiness and wallowing in the mud with Useless characters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I salute this brave man. God bless you brother frank meeink
Ask yourself , Why has he ''Changed his Racist Coward attitude ? Skunks can't change their Odor.
Amen
@Eliza Grogan that's a noble thought, however, once a skunk, always a skunk. I' 'll stand my ground.
Frank is incredibly brave to speak out against his former beliefs! I hope he gets the welcoming love and support from ALL of us. Sharing the beliefs that WE liberals want to be known for!
There is no room for hate in this world anymore.. the hate-filled people are the Outcasts of today's world
Unless this is anti-white hate, it should be encouraged by the media and get no coverage when it actually happen.
People who are the problem cant see the problem.
@Myballsitchsomethingfierce why not your riqht one too?
What good is a left ball without it's right brother. Keep em both or let em both go...better to be balanced than off center...lol
....your right..... if cnn could only see that they caused this narrative of white supremacy that it only exits on a micro level of society .... there will always be racist ....kkk / black panther .......but nothing trump has ever said justifies them to say that anyone who voted for him is racist ....
Logical way
They bleed the same color
They came from a mother
They came from a father
They have family
They put their pants on the same way...One leg at a time
They have their own ways
People have forgotten what the meaning of..
Do not tread on me really means!
Get out and meet some people no matter who and where they are from. Open your mind and open that heart chakra and let your soul sour and heal the damages of HISTORY. It just takes that one step, that one hand shake, that one conversation, that one smile, that one helping hand to change everything for you and them and for the rest of society. Empathy... if you can be blessed with anything more pure in life choose EMPATHY not ampathy but EMPATHY and you will be the blessing

Thank you so much sir for beenig a better person
💯💯✌😎
faduma abdullahixà Absolutely ✊🏾🤘🏽✊🏾 Frank shows that you can change, and be progressive, an apart of the Change.
Dont thank him! For what? Becoming a decent human being? This is ridiculous how everyone thinks he us great. HE IS NOT! People that have been good people all their lives should be celebrated! Not some former evil person.
A S & Hope : There’s nothing wrong with thanking him, for speaking out, challenging evil, showing that you CAN change your life and do good with it. He does so at personal risk, as a target of those who will never forgive him. He can be thanked for THAT, with a clear conscience. People like him are NECESSARY, right now. Can you SEE that?
@@ashroskell I understand what you are saying I really do I just dont agree. I grew up in an era when neo nazism was rampant. It was AWFUL! and American history X was a fuel to that fire. That movie doesn't make nazism look bad it glorifies it.
This man is not to be thanked for being good. Let's ask his victims and their families what they think? Who are WE to thank him as if he is a saint, without knowing what the victims and victims families think.
Should we ask the holocaust survivors and their families.
It's always so easy when you haven't been a victim to crime to sit there and applaud from a distance.
Let me tell you if he did the things to my brother he wouldn't be forgiven.
He would be dead in the dirt.
Thank you, for speaking up. I appreciate your courage and humanity.
I wish more of these people would come to thier senses. He wants to redeem himself, and we should be happy to welcome them back.
Excellent guest w/ excellent, well spoken points from his knowledge on this issue,thank you for this piece.
They have real politicians in New Zealand theres going to be a change in gun laws I didn’t hear anything about thoughts and prayers
@John Smith. From what I understand, a fourth person who was arrested in New Zealand shooting was doing just that. Pulled his own gun out to assist police shoot the shooter. Could have been shot by police himself. Lucky ending, he was released from custody. Could have been worse.
Hate against hate never works. Well said.
Very insightful, he really dug deep in to the terrorists psyche
"Only Thing We Have to Fear Is Fear Itself"

Some Dude on the internet said something smart ;)
Some Dude, Then the guy who said that shipped American Citizens of Japanese decent to concentration camps.
And stole their property.
Sahih Bukhari (52:177) - Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him."
I fear spiders so spiders are to?
Good to point out the link betwèen white supremacy and patriarchy.
Thank you, Frank. We can all change our minds.
Glad this guy found his way,he decided to stop being a coward which like he said leads to hatred.
Very well constructed, deep and thoughtful interview. No finger pointing, no blaming anyone in particular.. just getting inside this guys mind. 7 minutes was way too short for this segment. I could have listened to this guy talk about his experiences, first conversations with someone(s) in other religions that caused his heart to warm, etc.
I found it really interesting and encouraging to see this man's interview. It was beautiful to hear that he has found friendship and compassion and empathy with other people that he used to hate. He has connected with his inner sense of basic humanity. "Empathy with humility is how we get humanity." truer words were never spoken.
start with the children.. if every child grows up having empathy for everyone, you will have less nazis in 10-20 years..
They were doing that when I was younger. We learnt about all religions & cultures & then it stopped in the 80s...I wonder why???
Very good interview. This man had the courage to change. I'm sure his life is much more fulfilling than ever before. God bless him.
The irony in this is that white NZers and Australians were all British colonialists/prisoners so just who is replacing who....Why is it never a problem when Europeans replace native populations??
asentzio Not all Europeans, but some are ignorant and indenial. Always have been, always will be. They're just sad little people who couldn't fully over throw NZ. Maori have not been replaced, they still claim some of the land and have the rich economy. Hence the treaty. Trying to debunk it, by trying to find evidence of other settlers. Which there is none.
@@TheHaynikoonenzfoundation.co.nz/wordpress/articles/books-and-reviews/proof-of-pre-maori/ . Oak trees aren't native to NZ lol
@@forestalmo2417 That's still no proof. Just like they say Spaniards were here before Maori, then it was Chinese and the Chileans, then vikings? If any of these cultures were here, (and this gets questioned by others) why didn't they colonize? Where are they? Did Maori eat them?
P.S Lol, after reading that garbage, this person now states Europeans were here. Go figure. If that was the case, Maori probably wouldn't have stood a chance to settle on this land. Who's next on the list.
@@TheHayniko Actually they found a settlement far north years ago and they destroyed it fyi and my brother is a historian and also Maori so shut the fuck up . Also easter Islanders could been before them . There's heaps of evidence to prove the Maori weren't the first here . Vikings are white people lol and they were traveling around the oceans in 1100 bc long before the Maori
@@TheHayniko well there could be a couple of pirate bones buried somewhere but carbon data would still date the bones from 15th 17th century....lol.
Frank got it right, felt like an inadequate man. Fear being the basis for this, fear of not being adequate within themselves. No higher purpose, living for just selfish reasons, not for others, love of other. Must call them out, starting with Trump.
We must change, hate doesn’t stop hate. Make a friend today, change.
This is to me is a very powerful video. Frank Meeink could do a lot to change how these hate groups think. He has the capability of speaking to these hate groups and perhaps changing some minds.
Thank you so much for having Frank Meeink on your show. I hope you will have him on again, and that many more news shows will broadcast how he himself was ignorant and full of hate himself once. He gave me hope today. Thank CNN and Mr. Meeink.
It is very important to listen to this man.he has done a long journey of understanding. He should be a speaker at colleges and different places.his wisdom comes from the pain he experience. Now he is an example of redemption. I wish him the best.
He does. He lectures at schools etc and shares ideas. He spent time in jail and this is where his life changed for the better.

Doctor Jodie Aren’t you a little old to be using RUclips? Get back on your typewriter and write I hate trump 200 times hoping it will change something but In reality you’re going to break down into tears and have flashbacks of your high school crush dating your best friend and going off to live happily ever after.
Doctor Jodie What a comeback 🙌
Wow...that nice to heard true warm words👏👏👏
Salute you sir for coming out from the darkness... Bless you
What an honest genuine guy, spoke from the heart God Bless You.
One won’t condemn what he endorses covertly.
Wow this man has been through so much thank God he figured it out most people wont. Hopefully he continue to grow and teach others seeing and hearing people like him help make me a better person because it opens the door for change in me to better myself by first changing the way I think. May God continue to bless you an your family this life is hard but it is so worth it.
Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. -Yoda
CNN, these are the videos you need more of. Not endless videos of Cuomo and the other guy trying to explain things everybody already knows. You need communication now to take away that fear.
An interesting interview. Unlike the regular talking heads guests who say nothing.

Dude, this is CNN.
Do you know how often they use actors? Like, all the time.
This dude’s probably an actor/liar. It always is with the Communist News Network.
@@NewNormalWorldOrder You are so brainwashed. SAD
I finished watching this short interview and said “wow that is awesome” out loud. Men like him gives me hope. We are all the same specie, why do we need to kill each other beats me. Thank you 🙏🏼
Powerful stuff right here. I can feel his pain and shame and i can tell he's a changed person than he grew up as. We can learn alot from him.
Watch American History X. His story is incredible.
These very basic skills (empathy, kindness, etc) are not natural to many people. They need to be taught gradually through daily human interaction. My child is in first grade and I see absolutely ZERO focus on these very important skills in his classroom. There are 30 6 year olds for 1 adult 6.5 hours a day in his class. Reality is a lot of parents of children today were not taught these things themselves (if they even HAD parents to raise them), and even classes like "home economics" that were in high school do not exist. We throw a lot of very unprepared, emotionally immature people into the "adult world" every day and expect them to perform without defects? Come on....
His take on the subject is truly enlightening
Embrace diversity. That will open your mind to the world and makes you a great person. Is that too hard?!
Embrace diversity? Like western Europe? Do you want us to become theViolent police states that hate their own people?
Paul: that is not going to be stopped. the idiots in power will see to that
Sahih Bukhari (52:73) - "Allah's Apostle said, 'Know that Paradise is under the shades of swords'."
Sahih Bukhari (11:626) - [Muhammad said:] "I decided to order a man to lead the prayer and then take a flame to burn all those, who had not left their houses for the prayer, burning them alive inside their homes."
Tabari 9:69 "Killing Unbelievers is a small matter to us" The words of Muhammad, prophet of Islam.
@@Legend-pc3ng look my fucking idiot back at it again with Quran quotes!!!
Trump has said the same thing, he said that he would go to someone on like what, 44th street, shoot someone and then said nothing would happen to him.
Frank Meeink is an incredible survivor of something so crazy and is a great leader/example for humanity. Great interview.
Yes Frank, great message.
living a life of consistent hatred must be tiring. life if too short for that.
Curt Randall
its like living with cancer . then death.
like cnn does over trump
That's one of thr reasons I'd say some of them get out of it, it's hard to keep the momentum up forever. They are kind of brave to get out, how scary it must be to try and get out of a hate group. They probably don't make it easy for you either.
So this the guy from history X? Cool movie dude seems legit someone to smoke with
You're why people are in favor of eugenics
I been witnessing right wing terrorist attacks in front of me.
Grow up matt brown.
Thank you Frank and CNN. That was excellent advice and information about why people join hate groups and how to best deal with their members i.e. not through violence or opposition but by getting to know them and discussion.
Loved seeing Frank on here. Thanks Frank and I am so happy that you speaking out to help so many! Sending love and healing light. We need your voice!
No body needs his voice
You have a brother here in New Zealand 🇳🇿 Frank, Kia-kaha (Stay strong)
How do you get through to these hate groups? One person at a time.
@Dr Professor - Not sure how that is a response to what I posted, but okay, here goes...
I do wipe my feet at the door in in some houses (where expected), take my shoes off and put house slippers on. In some houses, I belch after a meal, as it is expected and in some I use a knife and a fork to eat one small bite at a time while in others I slurp the soup as it as a compliment to the cook.
Culture are different. Cultures make up the fabric of the US and the World. Some have more overlap than others. Some are more survivalist than others. Some are more entitled than others. There is nothing but good that comes from learning about other cultures if you the individual chooses to make it so. There are bad people in all cultures. Most cultures are about the welfare of the community, not just the individual (which is why they survived as a culture).
What are the things you are worried about that culture bring with them? What are you worried about that people regardless of culture bring with them? These are two very different things. Most crimes being committed by people from other cultures are crimes in their culture. That is the individual. Some things that a culture considers to be okay to do may be looked down upon or even be considered criminal in another culture. That is the culture.
My question to you is what are your fear/experiences in each of these two categories?
People should understand terrorism is that everywhere and anywhere .respect and love each other is the best way to build safe and happy life
Applause for him for realizing his way and coming out of that hate as he called it, truth is there is no stopping it all, comes down to individuals such as himself breaking away from it
I condemn this act against humanity. This is untolerable and the guilty must be assassinated in public. My support is with the affected and the world supports you.
ignorance, is your worst enemy. :p
amazing interview, love it
I just wish one day we live together in peace regardless of someone's race or belief. This earth is created for all !!!!
Terrorism is, in the broadest sense,
the use of intentionally indiscriminate violence as a means to create
terror among masses of people; or fear to achieve a financial,
political, religious or ideological aim.
GOD BLESS YA FRANK!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🖖🏽🖖🏽🖖🏽

Thanks to all people like this man, who have the courage to speak out, they keep the world together.
This guy is very well spoken, and his diagnosis is incisive!
They should do the same mental dissection of other terror groups
This guy is speaking facts!
I'm impressed with his change. And to admit where you came from on national TV is pretty dang brave. Spread the word! Change is possible.
This was amazing to watch. Thank you for bringing Frank Meeink onto your show. Everyone needs to understand him as relates to ourselves.
lol Bless him.......so glad he was able to over come hate. I can just about bet you he is happier at life and more at peace. When you're going around hating on everybody and waking up with this hate everyday it can drain you and can be very exhausting and can even cause health issues. This is why I don't sweat the haters because I know deep down they miserable, the poor things. 🙂
Well said! And if I may, even praying And showing them love as an example should make a huge difference. Hold them accountable but love always!
Human beings are born good, our environment teaches us to love or resent
Our present environment is changing. All that Governments have brought us is War and arguments. This guy is still on edge. You won't end clubs of men being rivals as long as you have militarys & governments. Period.
Good with an inherent vile evil inside that should not be let out.
@@lonmed1 if you believe in God, yes you are born good...
There’s so much pain in his eyes.
Wonderful interview. This is what can happen , with a little time empathy and compassion. How inspiring is this - real hope for the future.
We need more people like him
yeah we need more Antifa ????
@@ateam6486 And do we need more white supremacist?
Great interview.
Let's keep in mind that Trump froze funding to fight right-wing extreme hate groups in 2017. Not sure if he modified his position since then...
Wow I gotta love this guy. Yes love, not just like. He is a good example of what a humanbeing should be like
Thank you sir. The answer to fear is familiarity. The answer to ignorance is investigation. The answer to racism is cultural awareness. The answer to hate is love.
Combat hate with love . There is a program called life after hate. They are former skin heads ...And they help people just like they were ..And as Samantha bee says , " hug a Nazi". ( air hug ) .
