- Опубликовано: 8 янв 2018
- A young African-American musician seemed an unlikely candidate to take on the Ku Klux Klan - but Daryl Davis used honesty, respect and human understanding to break down and dissolve the bitter, time-worn barriers that he encountered. 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 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. Daviwas a key player in Elvis Mania which was extended by twmonths due to popular demand in New York City at an off-Broadway theatre. 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
he literally defeated the ceo of racism with the power of friendship
"Our worlds collide on eternal horizons
A wild ride, every turn is surprising
We rip and tear until it's done
Then head back home and have some fun
Together we are one"
He’s a master of piano, and friendship, for everyone
He is the Dayman
Every anime out there the power of friendship
I hope that’s true I really do
That’s the only way to do it.
I think this man deserves a peace prize.
Without a doubt
absolutely
He really does, I have been following a lot of his work and the way he talks is just so equal. He spits facts in both directions. He is absolutely non biased
For sure!
I read this as a pun. Oops. Hes great.
His closing quote is the best. "They call me strange, but if being strange leads too people quitting that. Then we all should be strange."
I'll tell you a secret...
The best minds in history are...
He didn't stop or heal anything bro. He makes the problem far worse.
@@rcikaal8804 huh?
@Felix Jessup he is not making anything better he is deflecting from the full extent of what we really have to tackle to contain racism.
He is literally protecting the real perpetrators of racism. He has done nothing to tackle real institutional systematic and structural racism. This is the most prolific and powerful form of ongoing prejudicial bias operable in the USA today.
@@rcikaal8804 your a not smart nothing the blm movement has done has made 1/4 the stride in converting hate to love like he did with Roger kelly
Some heroes don't wear capes. They wear yellow shirts and ties.
Robert Lombardo and play the boogie woogie
and do ted talks
Looool, dude looo, comment of the day lol.😂😂😂😂💪💪💪
Dwight Schrute?
Why doesn't this have more views
This dude is a hero. He's done more for the world than any of the current people screeching about racism will ever do. EVERYONE needs to see this, left, right and center.
Hes right
Damn straight. Share the snot out of his talks!!
DavidGX, each person doesn't change the whole world. We can change the part of the world that we live in to be a better place and relate better. We can change the world a little at the time.
Right you are
people screeching about racism.... for a reason
Thank you Daryl Davis for your work for peace. God bless you.
Joe Rogan needs to get Daryl Davis on the podcast
OMG YESSSSS!!!!! :)
That would be amazing
InsideOutMinecraft (King Banana) Dave Rubin too
send him a message
Agreed
I think this is a pivotal reason as to why the Americans were correct with their first Amendment. You don't fight racism by simply suppressing it, you have to confront their Ideas head on with reason and understanding in order to (hopefully) change hearts and minds.
deserves repeating
I agree, but there are lots of people who are too stubborn to listen.
That is how William Wilberforce and his allies ended slavery in Britain. By changing so many hearts and minds that the system came crashing down.
Yea the people saying free speech is a cover for fascists don't know fascism.
@@mariussielcken Or think totalitarism is a neat thing that should be implemented ASAP.
That moment when music actually does bring people together.
Huge respect for this guy. Sometimes people forget the basic things of being human and that is communication with anybody, friend or foe
Way bigger race problems immigration .
True hero's never get recognized.
Chris Walker true heroes are recognized by good people instead of blind masses.
@@cjschneidt9089 Demean the "blind masses" all you like but in a world where most countries are run by the vote to some extent, convincing them to see the light remains fairly important. With all due respect, I think the attitude implied by your comment misses the core point of Mr. Davis's speech. It is not through condescension or dismissiveness that common ground is found, but through mutual respect and earnest attempts at discourse in good faith.
@@timeforvintagepancakes9751 thats fair and I dont disagree with you.
Daryl For President 2020
swapnarka arnan 2020^^
No, 2019. We're changing the rules.
Olivia Mohning: That's not how it works...
How about Daryl for president 2020; ya'know... instead of Kanye
I would actually vote for him.
Why doesn't this have more views
Because the left that controls the narrative know that this destroys them.
I guess he is not so known to the general public and 18 minutes may be a bit long.
Sever Miu If an average person can't sit through an 18 minute video, then humanity is truly doomed.
Yes it helps the non-radical left, but it doesn't help the radical left side.
WOW because this is 95% similar to the previous video. Still great.
He’s made something brilliant and beneficial come from something foul and corrupt. He has used communication instead of anger and recrimination. He has accomplished AMAZING feats with intelligence and humility. I am currently doing a dramatised presentation about him, he is an inspiration to us all, God bless you sir ❤️
I was privileged to hear his one hour version of this story today and he shared the five core values that everyone wants or identifies with….1 Love. 2 Respect. 3 to be heard. 4 to be treated fairly. 5 I want the same thing for my family as you want for yours. How can you hate me when you don’t even know me? Our country will become what we sit back and watch it become or what we stand up and make it become” - Daryl Davis
That last line is powerful. I've never heard that before. Who originally said this? Just so if I quote it I'll know who to credit it to. Thanks.
Another core value he possesses is patience. Spending years befriending the klan leader as he was constantly looked downed upon by him, my favorite trait of his
One of the best TED talks, I could listen to this man all day.
Very powerful message. I couldn't do it. But everyone is human and deserves to be heard
I've read about Daryl Davis. I love that man!
Heard of him a few minutes ago, now I´m here and want to see and hear more.
I first saw him on the TODAY show,thats how I heard of him
I love this man and his approach to solving problems. It may not necessarily work for everyone, and that's to be expected as we all learn in different ways, but the fact that he sees that there is a common bond between everyone and shows that is worthy of so much respect.
Daryl: "I had to ask him three times before he told me he was a member of the Ku Klux Klan"
That one person in the audience: "wooo!"
How Mr Davis went to those Klan rallies and watch them burn a cross -- knowing, damn well, that likely ALL of his ancestors had crosses burned in front of their homes -- and for sure, worse, yet he didn't get emotional?! I had tears fall out of eyes just listening to him tell the srory.
I so much appreciate, this much needed conversation. Thank you Mr Davis. You're a great man.
Music,food and laffin'...that's how folks get past they differences..
That's not how they got past their diffrences, they got past their diffrences because they learned to respect each other even if they didn't agree
Yes, but the laughter helped them stay around long enough to do that, and the music opened the door.
Yes, just getting together and getting to know each other. That's all it takes.
Daryl Davis~A FRIEND of GOD.
THIS is how you fix people .... talk, work with people understanding them... THAT is how you change people
this man is a living legend , what an amazingly patient and smart guy
Why has have both of Daryl's talks been buried?
It hasn’t necessarily been buried, people just aren’t interested in knowing this man’s point of view. It’s kinda screwed up, people should want to hear this, this point of view tells us that there is still hope for humanity lol
I love this ted talk, i watched the older one years ago, re watched it before this one
cause it doesnt promote the agenda
Probably because RUclips has no intentions on bettering race relations. In fact, they seem pretty consent on driving a wedge between us all.
That’s so crazy. This guy spoke in my home town and I didn’t even know it till I saw this video. Amazing.
9:58 “Fear is the path to the Dark Side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering”
- Master Yoda
Best commentary on racism I have ever heard….ignorance leads to fear which leads to hate which leads to destruction! Intervene at the earliest stage….ignorance. A missed opportunity to engage in dialogue is a missed opportunity to resolve conflict! This guy is legit!
Thats true "How can you hate me if you dont even know me" damn
He is an unsung hero! His style and approach is amazing.
I would like shake this man’s hand if I ever get the chance to meet him. Good show.
So much respect for this man
Mr. Davis I have heard you speak before an interview. It has been an honor to see you speaking about your experience at length. I admire you so much. Thank you for showing the rest of us the way to improve our country and humankind in general. I admire you greatly. I was a bit offended for you when I saw what those reporters said. But I will say this to you stay strange LOL. I tried to implement what you have shown to be the way. I hope this is okay to say but I love you, I love your courage, I love your empathy, and I love your dedication. I pray for you that God May bless you for all of this good. PS I love your music
This guy's a boss!!! Boss!!!
I never thought I would say this but I actually want hear more from the KKK
Epic.....this should have a billion views....
Good for you Daryl for doing what most people would never risk!!!!
Respect.
I like that fact that he included the word fellow in "my fellow scouts". Be cause I'm sure most if not all of the other scouts were his friends
r/madlads
No disrespect this guy is actually a legend
unimaginably based. reality is stranger than fiction. if someone made this up I wouldn't have believed them.
You are a great person sir... you deserve the noble peace ✌
This man is an absolute national treasure.
Mr. Davis, your kind of heroism deserves a movie culture. Not James Bond's brazen ignorance.
I would love to say: this is our culture. This is the way we want to live. This is what we are proud of. This is us. But for now, the news have only one word for you: strange.
This is so Important TODAY NOW MORE THAN EVER!
What a great speech. I love this man.
We all need to sit down and say what we don't like about each other....then community leaders can help fix the issues causing all the hatred in the first place.....jmo
Highly commendable Mr. Davis
How good is this video.. I've seen it long ago but still saving to watch again later. That good.
what an amazing voice
Wow, I am touched.
What a great man
Yes he is
@@garycarpenter2980 thank you for saying that you approve of the comment instead of just liking the dudes comment 😂
His story should become a film.
Robin Pillay good news it is it’s called Accidental Courtesy
God Bless you Mr. Davis ! I admire you so so much ! You are a rare gem in this world. Your courage, patience and willingness to understand things is beyong impeccable. I truly hope there will be more and more people who listen to you speak and change their attitudes towards others ! You're an inspiration and a wonderful human being. I salute you ! 👏🙂
Thank you for your talk. You are a great man! Love from Norway.
Mr Davis sounds like he contains all the ancient knowledge of the world
This man is an inspiration. And the one this world needs right now.
Yeah
If only common decency could transcend any opinion. Despite his views, he could still respect someone with differing opinions. Even someone he viewed as the enemy.
Mr.Daryl Davis, you are changing the world,God bless you for your good experiences with all those people that hate other people for no reason, I'm amazed.
What bravery it took to take on the task of meeting with a group he knows doesn’t like his race. He went in with an open heart and wanting to understand the why behind the klan. He didn’t show aggression just respect as another human being. Deception got him the first interview. Respect got him multiple interviews afterwards and the friendship with many members of a group that just simply didn’t understand each other.
goosebumps....
I love this man, one of the greatest speakers I’ve ever heard
Daryl Davis seems to be excellent at "Nonviolent Communication" as portrayed in the book by Marshall B. Rosenberg, Ph.D.
I saw his podcast with Joe Rogan. It was fantastic and I highly recommend it.
Yes officer, right here. He is harboring massive titanium balls.
I like how some people think that he isn't helping at all😂. This man is gold. Fight hate with kindness not more hate. Hate will only lead to hate.
His prediction of future going towards 2040 is accurate. Not sure how you can stop that train wreck.
All of Gen Z needs to see this. What an unbelievable soul.
Well spoken truth.
Thank you Mr Davis.
what a beautiful inspiring man
How is it this video only has a few hundred likes, even though it is 4 years old (at the time I write this). I think the answer is obvious...many have bastardized the definition and use of "respect." Nowadays, respect means, "listen to what I say and give me what I want." Instead, it should be what this man says, it is a two-way street, two must come together on even ground. The problem with that is it requires the swallowing of pride, but more, that is not devisive and does not sell the news of generate headlines. Love does not sell well in the media...hate does. Anyone still wondering why this and others like get low view counts while hate and division sells like hotcakes? Hate is lazy and easy, love and respect requires effort and hard work.
That bit with the soda cans killed me
Sharing this!
Love is all consuming
We need more people like this.
@@safir2241
😀
Respect
Not strange. A hero.
13:17 Is that a real life Mr. Flanders!? 😂
He truly has no enemies.
Great guy and a great story. He is a legend.
U got an imperial wizard to quit the Klan? Damn. Understanding really does win.
(OP moment) This guy has Conqueror's Haki.
🏆 Amazing 🏆
Amazing 😰
he *literally* went to the CEO of Racism.
Great job copying a comment
That is how you end racism.
The first time I went to teach English in China, my mother was afraid that I would get arrested by the Chinese government.
The second time I went to teach English in China, my mother was afraid that I wouldn't want to come back.
There are three things that every culture on earth has in common. We all laugh, we all cry, and we all consider it polite to hold the door open for someone else.
One we understand this, everything else is subjective.
Once we understand this, we realize that we have more in common than we think we do. And then, we can begin to communicate.
Best title ever
This is the way.
Is there somewhere where you can hear the tape of the interview that day?
I hope RUclips doesn't take this down.
Watching on 2020
Are you watching to
Put cans of soda in an ice bucket to get them warm
Not gonna say I haven't done that before
I put the phone book in the refrigerator and put the milk in the cabinet. I had to sit down and re-asess my life plan.
Everyone makes mistakes, even Daryl Davis. He is human.
Darly:klan we talk
KKK:We klan't talk
"Darly" 😭
my man!
If this guy doesn't deserve the Presidential Medal of Freedom, who does?
It’ll never happen. The country is to polarized and identity politics is at an all time high. People don’t want peace they want to fight and argue.
@@Prof_Tickles92 Not all of us
It's off topic but I like the hanging jellyfish
I love him❤
You know what they say, don't you Naruto...When two Shinobi are powerful enough...They read each other's thoughts, simply through an exchange of fists. Without ever uttering a single word...Get it. You've always been naïve...Naruto. Tell me...Do you know my thoughts? Can you tell what's on my mind?!
