Reformed White Supremacist Builds Unexpected & Life-Changing Friendship
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 янв 2021
- In one of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s powerful speeches, he tells his supporters to "love your enemies." This idea is exemplified in the friendship of former white supremacist Michael Kent and his Black probation officer Tiffany Whittier. While working together, the two formed a friendship that helped Michael turn his life around. Kelly and actor Michael Ealy hear about how their friendship came to be.

My Dad taught me that when I was young. He said it takes to much energy to hate. Don't waste time or energy on it.
Your dad is the Real mvp
Im soo tired of seeing this lame story. you cant reform a white supremacist. when the news hits that shes been murdered by him dont be surprised
im gonna remember this saying and pass it to my kids, thank you!
@@emilyhuynh1662 ARE you korean?
@@illuminatedperspectives2894 What does that have to do with anything? She is a beautiful woman who commented on something she liked, her race has nothing to do with you. As for saying this man is going to murder her one day they have been friends for years now, people can change it just takes hard work & support. You obviously have a lot of hate in your heart which I hope one day you can let go of, I know this world can feel too much sometimes but you just need to find the positive things in your life. Take care & I hope you can overcome this anger, not everyone in this world is evil 💛
Someone needs to make a movie out of this! A remarkable story of humanity, kindness and friendship.
I was coming to the comments to say this as well. I agree!
Agreed!!!
Who would you cast?
@@ElizabethT45 Even more who would go see it and why? How would you make a 2 hour story out of it? How would it end since we already know what happens. I saw this same story with them on another program. We already know the story.
It costs millions of dollars to make a movie. I can't see anyone or any studio wanting to bankroll this and expect to make a profit.
@@adc2327 a lot of people would go see it. Stories of love triumphing over hate is a tale as celebrated as any other. You won’t, but many others will
His tears are so raw and genuine. You can feel that emotion. Proud of this guy. And Tiffanys smile and energy, bravery is something otherworldly, she's amazing.

anybody can fake cry
It caught me too
With the mentality of the comments above mine, we might as well just hope for a freaking meteor to wipeout mankind, right? I mean, screw it all huh?
That’s such a disgusting mentality and very ignorant. Hatred and anger are secondary emotions; there’s always something bigger at the root and if that can be changed, it changes everything in a person. What’s the point of the protests and the energy we are putting into seeking equality and justice, if so many people believe that people can’t change?? I refuse to believe that.
Sometimes we have to be a bit more understanding and show love to every one , if you show love you will get love and sometimes these people are so tender inside but try to act tough but all they need is a little love and compassion. I love this guy and I wouldn’t hate him because that’s God’s intervention and that’s how we are supposed to love one another. I’m glad to know he changed and others can follow in your footsteps we all have to love and respect each other and don’t judge a book by its cover. Great story!
I’m so pleased to see he has stopped this cycle with his children. Hate is so unnecessary and I’m so pleased he has turned to love instead. What a great story
White people don't change
@@stevo9573 speaking from experience I’m assuming?
It takes way to much energy to hate.
@@dherrod9097 way too much energy
@@dherrod9097 not really..
I am a black guy and I meet a white guy(tattoos and all) just like him I treated him same way she treated him and 2 day we been like brothers for 20 years now he always ask me y did u treat me the way u did when u first met me I jus tell him I treated u the way I was hoping u treat me and u did than I said I am a trucker (being black and a trucker we get judge all time) he lol come find out he was 2 that even made us more alike than different n one Christmas I was going home 4 Christmas and call him and invited him he was shocked he came my family treated him like family n now I say I'm headed home when I get home he at my house b4 I get there he tell every1 we brothers cause thats how my family treat him I tell him he jus love the cooking lol he family tho n his dad love me the same way he always tell me I got my son back thx you
aww thank you for that sweet story Mr. Peterbilt
Wow 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Wow this made me cry! That’s the thing, we all need to treat each other with respect, we are all equal!
Awww this is the sweetest!! So happy for your beautiful friendship. Also, what a beautiful lesson to be taken from this. Treat others how you want to be treated. Reach out to people with love even if they seem mean or hostile, even if they racist tendencies or tattoos…When you reach out with love and basic human respect, they tend to respond in kind.
Honestly stories like yours were not that rare before. I've seen many unlikely friendships happen just because someone decided not to perpetuate the hate. But it is rare now-a-days, everyone is so polarized, it's not even something like race anymore, just having different opinions is already enough to get people to hate each other now, it's really sad. If more people today are like you and your brother from another mother, then the world would be a much better place...
Tiffany is a saint. She saves this man from the hate that almost took him. I’m cryingggg . I’m so very happy for them both
I know Right? 😭😭😭😭
Exactly😢😢🤧🤧🙋🏿♀️🙋🏿♀️

It’s very real . Racism is tool that people use too keep others down. People have been doing this forever. All over the WORLD!! It’s not always the same term klan or tribe.. people in Africa east west north and south . The Irish and England . Now if this country would focus more and uniting people instead of dividing them. Women against men , black and white against each other Republican against democrats and conservatives against liberals you name it.. division is wicked and sick. But the twisted media and entertainment world is profiting from division so you will not see them encourage this nor promote this story. It has to fit the RACIST narrative of dividing.
@@illuminatedperspectives2894 well you would know. It’s apparent that your fear or apathy and negativity can’t be reversed so of course you would see life through those lens
Tiffany is full of strength and love, she's truly an angel!
Yes she seems very nice I can see why he connected with her! :)
AGREED!! She is amazing!! It also took him a tremendous amount of strength to change his way of seeing people, and his entire life!! God bless them BOTH!!!💖💖🙏
God is love, thank you for this segment.

I’m a proud daughter of a father who marched with Dr.Martin Luther King Jr. in Montgomery, AL. He was a white man who sponsored black athletes, and brought them into our home of nine to ten people. This story brought me to tears. It is the power of unconditional 💗 love! No doubt, God is the one who brought them together! Mike’s honesty was so raw and real! What a terrific story! 👏
Your father was so brave you should be proud of him ☺️
My God Cindy😘😘 bless your. ❤ big ups. And Salute to your dad too. Awesome Power and Lovely. Gesture to do for Others.
Martin Luther King! Had supporters of all cultures.. That's why we all know not everyone is against us.. Some do generally understand.. Not on a personal level but with a conscious effort.. If more would try, this world would be a better place..
Wow what a wonderful family you have that has obviously been that way for generations. And what amazing stories to tell your children, grandchildren, etc.
You're blessed to have a father like that!
Hurt people, hurt people. Probably living a life that wasn't his heart

@Have Issues most people would not be brave enough to share there reason of why they hate, he's brave for being real. I wish I heard more stories of people changing there views/beliefs with other people. I'm glad to see majority of the comment section is understanding
This man actually wanted to be loved. From his story he felt unwanted since childhood. His heart was moveable and it took Tiffany who saw that to help him over the hump.
To tell you the truth, Tiffany had me at the part where she said she was greeted in the yard by a pit bull; who then licked her hand (instead of ate it!). A sure sign that God was beside her.
Or the pit bull just liked her....
YT4Me57 oh absolutely
Pitbulls are agressive mostly because their owners did not educate them properly. It is sad but that is most of it.
God was with her and used her to save his dear son whom he is going to use to save many people. Praise and thanks be to God.
@@zianeshkasparen4358 Pits almost never are aggressive toward humans.
What a beautiful lady. Her smile is like sunshine. Wow.
She was that one person to show him. I see you, you matter,I care.

His whyte friends that were racist with him didn't? The race he's fighting for didn't? Was every black person mean to him? What you're really asking for is for black people to do far more than they should be, putting up with b.s they shouldn't. Not receiving undeserved love isn't an excuse to be racist, he was just a sh!t person, not some sympathetic figure
@@Scoring57 is every white person mean to you? Because it seems like you've written off their entire race.
@@karaa7595
Are most whyte people not racist or defensive of racists / racism? Nonsense like this where a racist is glorified and cheered on just cause they're not a complete piece of sh!t I think would be proof of that.

@@illuminatedperspectives2894 Why would you say such a terrible thing? I’m a proud black woman, and that’s purely nonsense and hatred that you’re speaking. Would you rather have seen a story with violence in it?!? 🤔People change everyday. By the grace of God and his love and mercy. You be blessed Jax Wins.
The fact that this man gets emotional when speaking about his past hatred speaks volumes to how far he has come. This is proof posititve of the MLK Jr quote - "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." People can change.
This is powerful proof that the world can changed.
It’s not cool to hate no reason, whatsoever.
I’m really thrilled he turned his life around and really thrilled that the woman showed him kindness and togetherness.
I believe the rest of people can do the same
You said it all.🙂
I agree. This has been on my mind since I seen this story. Very powerful and moving. The heart of these two people left me speechless.
Well, the thing is he DID have a reason.... he spoke about being relentlessly bullied and beat up by black people as a kid.... that would form a bad impression on any kid. He was at a very vulnerable and impressionable age.
@@calisongbird just say you're a racist and go
@@calisongbird it was Some black people that miss treated because he was different not all black people. You can't fault all people because of what a few did. Not only did the hate a black men but hated the white woman who were with them. Stop the hate and know the soul of the person.no matter what your skin color is. When some one comes to us about hate of another race. We need to shut it down before it starts. Let's make it better. Love Not Hate

Yes she does
And Jill Scott should play her

@@yvonneclaes5208 Eat my porridge
@@yvonneclaes5208 so much hate in "Jax Wins" heart clearly lol they desperately want to spread it
True.
Michael Kent, Well done. You're an inspiration. Credit goes out to Tiffany Whittier, and let's all remember the courage it took Michael to make the changed choices that he did. She was inspiration and support. He was the one who ultimately had to make the action steps, and he did, and the journey is wonderful.
@I Said What I Said with all due respect, the inability to see how it could be a struggle for a white supremacist to turn his back on his past is also part of the problem, it cuts off our ability to communicate with them and help cases like Michael Kent to turn around
@I Said What I Said I hear your pain, I truly do. As a poc myself, it hurts me to live every day with the systemic injustices that are flung at me and my loved ones. I also have heard my own hate come out during times of anger, and it has scared me to see that same hate in myself, when I know full well the impact that anger and hate can do to humans. So I choose every day to keep doors of empathy open. I choose to empathize with others who are on their own journey into awareness and healing. If I slam doors in the face of others who have made mistakes, even the horrific mistakes this man made in his past, then I can close the door on change ever coming for us. Because its these same folks who have messed up and then wanted to come back around that can help build a world where you and I are treated with justice, equality, love, respect, decency. But if I choose to shut those doors, to hate back, then I can kiss a better system good bye. And I'm just not ready for that. I feel for your anger and pain. I really, truly do. So keep on the journey you need to be on. I respect it. I will continue on mine. Peace and love and best to you.
@I Said What I Said I'm a social worker. It's my job. I'm a woman of color. It's my life too. I'm a survivor of assault. My world is real. I choose a different path. I respect your choice. I don't even ask you to respect mine. I respect mine. And that is all that matters to me. Thank you.
@I Said What I Said It does take courage to acknowledge that you were wrong and make the effort to change. I kind of compare that to the way we were treated when my brothers and I came home from Vietnam. I think I can safely assume that some of those self described progressives who were spitting on us and cursing us have had a change of heart but I have yet to see even one of them stand up and say so.
He's a good father. He's broke the cycle if hate
Got me crying the whole damn interview.

How many more ‘Michael’s’ are out there? This is more impactful than we realize right now.
Probably so many but they're too afraid to admit it hate runs deep When Love should run deeper
How many Anti-Whites are out there? I like the way people pretend there isn't hate from the Anti-Whites. I just saw a RUclips channel today with some high profile black people and they all were laughing about an elderly white woman getting beaten and said she deserved it.
@@jamilgotcher5456 on behalf of the black race I apologize to your rave for the ignorance of those people who laughed at something so evil.💕✨
Hate can not drive out hate only love can ..... Pray you have a beautiful Day 💗
@@genesis8550 You don't have to apologize for other people's bad behavior Genesis. Totally agree about love driving out hate. Very well said. I'm amazed at how brave the woman was in this video, I would have been afraid of that guy. She knew why he was being so hateful, she could see right through it, his hate was from deep hurt. Have to watch out for the race hustlers and political grifters that want to create this division and hate. There is so much of that on social media these days. Many blessings for you and your shining soul 💖.
Like Kelly said he is physical proof that people can change
She brought positive energy, that Michael K needed. May God Almighty bless them both❤️🙏🏾

Great comment.
the darkness killed MLK
White people need to stop expecting Black people to teach us, forgive us for our abuse, or listen to our guilt if we aren't going to hold ourselves and other white people accountable.Period.
Kelly, it's not funny...
Thank you for using your platform to showcase this story. Our country still has so much work left to do, but every small step can make an impact. Bless Ms. Tiffany for leading with love when it would’ve been much easier not to.
It's beyond comprehension how people can hate people they don't know based solely upon skin colour. To me it's just as stoooopid as saying you hate somebody because of their hair or eye colour 🤯
A simple but very good analogy. Kudos my friend.
Did you hear his story about being relentlessly bullied and beat up by black folks as a kid? How is it hard to comprehend that it would form a very negative impression on him?
@@calisongbird Have you heard about slavery, or the daily racist attacks? the story about about the 3 activists murdered because of what they were fighting for? I understand he may have had a negative experience but as an adult you realise thats what kids are like. It also wasn't every child of that race
@@j.a.whittler6983 Thanks but it really is stupid to me. The ability to see colour is one of the best senses we have but is abused in the worst way possible
@@calisongbird ...Ok I get it but how about not taking "your" hatred out on ALL people of color? The person(s) that treated him sooo...badly is the one he should of not liked...( not that this is right either) not every black person who has done nothing to him. Anyway, I'm just glad that he finally came to his senses and was able to trust his heart...knowing there is good and bad in all races.
Growing up, my grandmother was racist, somewhat. However, even as a young, black kid I knew that she was wrong in her ways of thinking. My grandmother was treated badly by whites when she was growing up in the 40s, 50s and 60s. This therefore, made her this way. Believe me I'm not condoning her behavior by no means. I, myself just knew that this was not the way I wanted to live my life. I thank God everyday for allowing me to be a self-thinker and a very opened - minded person. Life is too short for so much hatred. For me, it's just easier to trust my instinct. And base it off of that.
I married an ex white supremist and it has been 10 years later. I believe God brought us together to be part of the change and show that love truly wins in the end. Be encouraged whoever reads this post. We can choose to love or choose to hate people that don't look like you. Our hearts weren't made to hold hate.
God says to 💘 love💯💯
Girl better you than me. Then again I married someone whose ancestors own slaves so 🤷🏿♀️.
@@MsTomas086how r those 2 the same? You can literally say that about 25% of yt america. Thats the past
Edit: I got a reply here from a user that has made me rethink this comment I made (see below). I hadn’t sufficiently considered that anyone reading this didn’t have the context of where I was coming from with saying I was grateful to Michael K, and I certainly don’t want to be part of a rhetoric that lets white people celebrate themselves for doing the absolute basic minimum (not hating/killing other people). So I want to make it very clear now: No matter what your life circumstances are, turning to the delusional cult of so-called “white supremacy” (or any other terrorist group) is a series of choices you yourself make. Your actions are your responsibility, and if you’re taking your personal pain out on innocent others, causing them hurt, inflicting mental and physical violence, and possibly even ending lives, that is on you. My comment was in no way intended to absolve Michael K from any of this. He should at the very least have to hold himself accountable and live with the guilt over the things he’s done, and from this video here, at least to me it looked as if he will. That’s why I chose to express said “gratitude”. No, doing the absolute basic minimum by stopping to bash other people’s heads in doesn’t deserve anyone’s admiration or applause. But when I look at Tiffany, I see someone who put her own life in danger to do her job well, and who is now appearing publicly in association with this man and letting him call her his friend, and I have to assume she does that because of the influence his/their story can have on others. The more white people who are susceptible and weak enough to choose a life (or let themselves be pressured into it) as a hate group member see this, the more aware they can be that there are other options, and that even if they’re deep in it, there are still ways out. It’s this kind of awareness that needs to be spread, because any one person leaving white “supremacy” behind means that their threat to innocent lives is weakened. And if Michael K can be a vehicle for that weakening, that’s what I’m grateful for.

Original comment:
I’m grateful to Michael K for talking so honestly about his past. It’s important and the only way we can get more people out of these brainwashing hate cults. How lucky was he to have Tiffany come into his life, what an incredible person she is.
@Qanon for life 😂 Lol, go troll somewhere else
So glad he found happiness and even a marriage after feeling like nobody liked him. He replaced hate with love and respect and is all the more better for it
@White Lives Matter charged with treason for what
@White Lives Matter oh so you should be charged with treason for being brainwashed by the right? Were you at the Capitol on January 6? Are you a QAnon follower also, or just a white supremacist?
@White Lives Matter You're just a 14 year old thinking he's being funny and trolling RUclips comments. I think that's what said is you're willing to try and hurt other people and stir the pot for your personal enjoyment. Whatever 'this' is, isn't even real.
This should be a Movie.. Based on a True Story . There are many who need to hear this .....
Im soo tired of seeing this lame story. you cant reform a white supremacist. when the news hits that shes been murdered by him dont be surprised

And that movie is based on true story as well
Amen
I could listen to Michael K speak for hours!! Most people just talk. He was speaking from his soul.
Hatred is a learned, recycled behavior and so is love. Choose love. You never know much it will impact someone's life! Amazing story ❤

Yes. You have to start when a child is young to teach them love happiness and how to be kind.
I agree. It’s not black peoples job to show love to these people... If anything it should be the other way around. But they push this narrative that black people should take the moral high road and white plp love to pick and choose MLK’s quotes even though he was killed by these same plp. Black plp don’t have time spoon feed a country full of racist white people. We got our own community to focus on.
@Fonxa_Ltd0007 I have no idea what you’re talking about
This is so beautiful. He’s so emotional, you can tell he really knows what a long way he has come. He is so thankful too.
What a powerful story of Dr King’s words “Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”
Im soo tired of seeing this lame story. you cant reform a white supremacist. when the news hits that shes been murdered by him dont be surprised
It's a nice phrase, but King never said anything that wasn't written by Stanley Levison or Jack O' Dell (unless he was quoting scripture), who were both Communist Party USA members, so nothing he said in a speech was ever really "his words". Even King's doctoral thesis at Boston University was heavily plagiarized. King was a fraud, and when the FBI surveillance tapes get unsealed in a few years (a judge sealed them for 60 years), they will apparently have him on tape beating and slapping prostitutes in his motel rooms (of course, Hoover's FBI was hardly the most reliable of folks) and I would hope the folks today so against abusers of women will hold him accountable. There were a lot of great Black men that were hero's and great American's, but King wasn't one of them, and it's a shame that he's been propped up as some sort of mythological icon, when in reality, he was an opportunist that even as a supposed Reverend couldn't even keep the most important promise, which is to his wife, who he cheated on over and over.
My president, one of the greatest leaders of all, Nelson Mandela said: “No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.”
I have seen hearts turn when apartheid lifted as a child of 10. It can be done!
Tiffany has a broad smile. Heart _warming
Being a friend. He had not had friends before. I wish Michael K the best for the next part of his life. She was meant to walk this path in his way.
I love how this story turned out, but I'm like Michael Kent, "why would they send a black probation officer to a white supremacist house, either they didn't like her or it was a situp." LoL. Tiffany Whittier, you are an angel. Thank you for seeing the good in Michael's broken heart. Thank you, Michael, for choosing love over hate, and friend over enemies. Blessing to you both.
Thank you Kelly for showing the humanity of everyone involved and how they were able to overcome and change. And props to Tiffany and Michael for showing the rest of us that there is a better way.
Michael Ealy was absolutely right about this being the story of the year. Just what we need right now. A story of humanity and respect for one another as human beings. Such an amazing story 🙏🏼💚💙

There is no God only us we are our own gods
Why did God create the hatred in the first place then?
Respect to Michael K. How tough and painful it must be to be recounting memories and episodes that he has worked so hard to put in the past. But thank you because it really does give people hope. I’m sure these recounting of stories would wear him down but I hope he knows everyone salutes his sacrifice to feel such pain and emotions each time he does an interview to bring warmth and joy and hope to our hearts. His vulnerability during the interview was so touching. And he has an amazing and handsome smile! We acknowledge who you were. But we respect and honor who you ARE.
Well said!
Good woman, lucky, and, lets be clear, courageous man for jettisoning his beliefs in the face of this lovely woman.
Someone needs to make a movie about this story. So awesome!!
This is great news this story touch me I were very emotional with love in my heart its need to be on CNN CBS and other news broadcast
Michael K is the proof that when you feed love, love and happiness come your way. And I agree with him, hatred takes so much energy off you, it is just not worthy.
I was just telling my daughter about them two week ago .Wow
Prayers for both of you for the inspirations of love, grace, and mercy, God bless you
This story is so touching! I am in tears! The story is so moving! I vote for a movie to be made about this story so that it touches more people out there! Just WOW!
When we stop the ignorance, we stop the hate and when your filled with love for others its a receipe for power and that's what racist people don't like. Sit and have conversations with eachother and you may have more in common then you think.
This is a great story with such a victory it needs to be a movie. He was just a falling sole that was picked up by an angel . His heart is whole and I am truly happy for him. May they be an inspiration to others.
Not many commenters here are acknowledging what started him on the path to hate.... he said he was relentlessly bullied and beaten by the black kids in his neighborhood just for being white. Everyone seems to be glossing over that. It obviously formed his ideas at a very impressionable age. I mean, it’s great that he was able to turn his life around, but let’s not be naive about how all this started for him. And I’m sure his story is common among other white supremacists. Those early formative experiences are extremely powerful.
@@calisongbird so a female r@pe victim r@ped by a man should hate all men by your logic. Girl bye.....stop excusing shit.
It's a beautiful story, love changes peoples' lives
You could tell he's actually remorseful.
You can also hear the fear and disgust in his voice when he talks about the people he used to associate with.
This is the exception, not the rule to loving thy enemy. Loving ones enemy historically is a terrible idea. You got me f**ked up!
Exactly It couldn't be me sorry 🥴.
More of us need this attitude.
Right? You gotta try the spirit by the spirit
^^^^
So is selling your own people into slavery for some fucking trinkets.
You never know when one person can start a ripple that changes your future. You can tell that his heart genuinely changed. Tiffany is a beaming light in this world. Im sure everyone she works with is effected by her. His change is an example to a lot of people, that hate isnt permanent, it can be stopped. He broke the cycle. His kids wont hate blindly. And that means her impact on the world is great.
Thank you for sharing this amazing story. Kelly’s so empathetic - she also wipes her tears right after Michael did. She teaches us love & compassion are strengths.
This really gives me some hope that racist people can maybe change.
Don't hold your breath

@@calisongbird No, most white supremacist are taught that. Cut the shit....
I believe they can . Racism is taught
Hopefully the White Anti-Whites will some day realize they will never be woke enough for the Anti-Whites. And Kelly Clarkson should think about what they did to Ellen.
Kelly hosted this SO well with many gems of wisdom.
Michael K is also living proof that hate can be transformed to love. Makes me teary!
I love Tiffany and I don’t even know her. I can sense her positive energy through the screen ❤️ what an awesome, beautiful lady!
With all the other crap going on, I needed this reminder of what love can do.
This man Martin Luther king was a blessing to this world
I am over joyed this man got a second chance at life. He is married and found happiness.
Love this story. God Bless them both! This is the biblical example of love.
Incredible story, so raw and so heartfelt. I salute the courage of Michael K and Tiffany W, and appreciate Kelly Clarkson for her unassuming compassion and Michael Ealy's grace and insight while supporting them as they shared this painful yet triumphant story.
This is probably the first time he ever saw compassion.. we love you guys, God is Good!
Michael K you are AMAZING. Hurt can put us on a path that was not meant for us.
Tiffany you are WONDERFULLY BEAUTIFUL. Your love, compassionate and empathy is changing the world.
You both have hearts & souls of pure GOLD.
Michael K and Tiffany you guys are walking Angels on earth. May GOD you both.
Thank you God, for saving his life through Tiffany. I felt his heart.❤️🙏🏾
We need more stories of decency, friendship, and respect!
I'm glad this guy came through this journey and found love.
I want to hug Michael K and Tiffany! I’m so proud of both of you for speaking up! Thank you so much Kelly for hosting this badly needed conversation! Stay safe everyone! 🤗🇨🇦
"It takes so much time and energy to hate." - OMG - this is a story I had seen before. Kelly's interview brought the story to a whole new depth of understanding for me. (Thank you Kelly) One of the things that I kept thinking was how it all started at such a young young age. Take note. And I love Michael E.'s perspective on the story. Both parties were willing to meet each other and look what developed. Beautiful.
Kelly, thank you so much for bringing this story to us.....this is just what we all need to see so that we can learn why we should not be against anyone because I think that with especially a story like this it just proves we all can get along no matter what we look like. We all need to get along and keep love in our hearts and through the hatred out, there is absolutely no reason for it, none!!! I love this story!!!!
Micheal Ealy is always on here he might as well be a co-host😂😂😂
Mrs. Tiffany was truly a God send for Mr. Michael. Her energy was nothing but positivity and brightness. I'm so proud of Mr. Michael though bc I'm sure it wasn't easy making those changes. I can only imagine the conversations he'd have with himself during this time. I'm glad they're paths crossed. She helped mold him into a better man, and he showed her that her tactics of love and kindness could reach others. These two give me hope in humanity again.❤️
I am so proud of him. 💜 And Tiffany is so brave and big hearted. I love, love, love this story. 😭
This guy had a ❤️ that could change. He didn't just grow up hating his hate came out from being hated and grew more by those who encouraged it. He only had to be reminded that he could be LOVED.
That is such a beautiful story.
Am I smelling a book deal ? Netflix? Amazon? Or perhaps HBO?
Yep a movie
This story is extremely powerful and impactful. I felt like I was right there in the room when they first met in the way they described everything. I could definitely see this story as a movie. Viola Davis as Tiffany not sure who could take on Michael's role.
Thank God. I was laughing with tears. Kelly is the best!
When you inject enough LOVE into hate... hate will disappear in time!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Fabulous story, very moving. I have a similar story. I'm a substance abuse counselor and because of. COVID we are conducting groups via tele-counseling. One of my clients is a white man who also has tats all over but he never confessed to be in a hate group, but he told me he has never sat down in a one-on - one situation with any black. person. He told me he is not sure if this will work for him because of his preconceived thoughts of what black people stand for. But our relationship has gotten so much closer and now he respects me and has turned his life around to be drug free. He told me no. one has ever been able to reach him but me. He said, I could never hate you, as a matter of fact, I thank you for helping me. Now he is talking to his children about respecting others o matter where they come from.
Did Kelly hear and absorb the comparison that Micheal E. made regarding Micheal K mental and emotional state of being judged by his tattoos ( a choice ) and People having Black / Brown skin ( not a choice) .
This is the most beautiful story and it made my day.Wish more people can see this video.❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾
Lady you're Qualified for this job ... he was looking for help.
Thank God for showing him the error of his ways and allowing him to love people and show his kids they can love all people too.
This touches my heart.
He didn't want to be like that! He reminds me of Michael Rappaport's character on "Higher Learning"! Constant unwarranted bullying from blacks, it happens, and rejection from all of the cool kids clubs was a recipe for disaster!
My father used to say the powerful thing on earth is love and Tiffany have so much to give God bless you all
I remember watching an ABC News video about Michael and Tiffany three years ago, and I’m glad their friendship is still standing strong!
"love wins"
Meghan said and how true
LOVE YOU KELLY!!!!
I’m crying, dang it Kelly!!! Love this relationship!!💗💗
This story needs to be made into a movie!

This guy just wanted some love and respect as a young man. Tragic beginning but a great restoration story!
