he actually got up and spoke with the CEO of racism

"It is ok everyone. We have a black friend." -the KKK

Daryl Davis is a brave man bringing people together in peace.

The balls of steel this guy had to have lol

Nighthawks? Grand Wizard? Grand Dragon?! Are we sure the KKK isn't just an elaborate D&D campaign?

I love Daryl Davis because, in times of SJWs shouting on the internet and attacking people for speaking their minds, believing they are changing society and destroying racism, he is actually doing something through respectful conversation and understanding.

You can effectively sum the insanity of this situation up with one line- "A Klan leader, his bodyguard, and a black guy walk into a bar-"

he speaks like a v8 engine

“I saw the humanity in him” that’s some shit everyone needs to see in each other nowadays. Dude was a racist and thought Mr. Davis was literally a different species, and still he didn’t give up on his humanity. That’s what love can do man

When a white guy has to ask a black guy what a klan altar looks like and it's a genuine nice convo.

Daryl Davis should be the President. Dude cancelled racism.

The overwhelming majority of these folks have never met a black person in real life. They come from generational poverty and they’ve been duped by predators. This man coming at them and completely destroying everything they’ve ever been told re: race has to be incredibly effective. I’m definitely gonna check out the whole episode. I’d love to be able to help this guy in some way.

It is mind blowing to think this archaic stuff still happens today. The fact he was actually there too is even more insane. There’s a Best Picture winning movie ready to be made about this man’s life.

This man is one of the greatest guests Joe Rogan has had the privilege of having on his podcast.

I had to drink some water listening to this guys voice

I once worked with a racist guy that got hired on with us.After a few weeks,he invited myself and another coworker to his acreage. He confessed to me that he was racist but thought I was cool because I was the only one to introduce myself to him when I arrived to work on his first day while everyone else ignored him up until I started introducing him to everyone. I was the only brown person working there,everyone else were white. He liked the fact that I out worked everyone and did it with a smile on my face. When I asked him why he was racist, he said it was because he had brown/immigrant bosses at three of his previous jobs and they were "assholes". I laughed and said that hundreds of white people puss me off everyday but I'm not racist.I could see him get quiet,looking up as he was processing what i said and then he said "Fuck,I didn't even think of it that way.Shit." My other coworker and I laughed as he kinda turned red.He shook my hand and patted me on the shoulder and then we went off roading and shooting guns.That was a fun day.

This man looks like a black Ron Jeremy

The amount of detail this man puts into his stories almost puts me in the room with him.

Nothing more American than hot dogs and burgers after a good klan rally.

"Klan cologne" = diesel fuel. I gotta stop by the gas station, my truck's running low on Klan cologne.

I witnessed a klan rally when i was about 11 years old and it was exactly as he described. I was staying the night and my neighbors house and we snuck out to go ride our skateboards through a freshly paved strip of road across the street from our neighborhood, where a new apartment complex was being built and the street lamps had recently been installed. This was something we would occasionally do on sundays when there was no work, during the day. At the end of the paved strip we noticed a large amount of light coming from the woods near a pond. We walked down the trail about 50 yards and we saw exactly what he described, klansmen in hoods and robes atanding in a circle chanting around a burning cross. We didn’t understand what was going on at that time, despite being from south carolina, we lived in a relatively diverse, poor neighborhood, so racism was not something that we were taught or understood. It was still haunting despite our lack of understanding. I am grateful that it was just my friend and I that were there that night and that our black and hispanic friends did not join us for that sleepover that weekend.

“He talked to my kids. He’d bring the Nighthawk.” 😂

This is why I love JRE. Joe always has the best guests and conversation's. I've been wanting to hear a in depth interview of Daryl.

All problems and differences can be solved with a conversation as long as we all put the ego aside.

You are a magnificent man Daryl Davis. This sad world needs more people like you.

So a klan rally is cheesier than I imagined.

So what you're telling me is they all just need a hug?

Why is this guy not running the country. Seriously.

I just ruined a clan rally and lit everyone on fire in rdr2 and then I get this recommended

This guy is amazing interviewee.

I can't stop of thinking of the Clayton Bigsby Chappelle skit! Classic 😂😂😂☠

He sounds like he needs to drink some WD-40

So if you haven't seen Daryl Davis's TED talks, you really should. Video clips of former "Grand Dragons" talking about Daryl, that he is "both my friend and a fine example of the Negro race." [This is an actual quote from a former KKK leader], who's garb was relinquished to Daryl who still keeps it as a memory of reformed hatred.

This is what the family matters dad has been up to

His voice slowly turns into a decepticon’s voice.

Him n Joey Diaz need a meet up voice on voice action aye

I've been following this guy since he was training Little Mac for his fight against glass jaw joe.

We need to start talking to each other. We’d find more things in common than not.

If him and Joey Diaz had a conversation amplified across huge bass speakers, it might twist spacetime into some sort of structure that emanates some of humanity's most fascinating stories for eons to come. Anyone from CERN?

3:24 “sometimes I would want to stop at some clan rally on my way to a gig”

I genuinely feel bad for people wrapped up in white supremacy. I work with a young guy who was involved with it and who’s father was a terrible racist. They had decent incomes, and nice homes yet they were miserable people. Absolutely miserable. The guy I work with has moved away from that stuff and he’s doing so much better now. He’s starting to actually reach his full potential not just in terms of career but in terms of his humanity. I only can wish the same for all the others who are caught in a life of hatred.

“...and then they have hotdogs and hamburgers” lol

Alright that’s it, I’m listening to the whole podcast. This is good shit

So the South Park Klan rally in the episode "Chef goes Nanners" is pretty accurate.

What happens at klan meetings? Feds trying to report on other feds who suspect that their fellow members are feds.

When I hear "white power" I cant help but laugh and think of clayton bigsby.

Only he can pull off a shirt like that. Love this man

Please get this guy some water!!

I could listen to him for hours, his stories are so interesting. Thank you Daryl, for being you! 🦋💙

This is so quality . . .this story is beautiful and hilarious at the same time . . .well done!

I'm glad Uncle Ruckus had a change of heart

All jokes aside this is an amazing story

I cant stop clearing my throat.

I was expecting him to be the real life Uncle Ruckus from the thumbnail

And in the end, through Daryls love, that “wizard” hung his robes up and left the klan

All I can think of is the Dave Chappelle show

Looks like this guy should write Blackklansman sequel movie plot.

That'd be cute if they let him light the cross lol.

We should all strive to be as understanding and calm as Daryl. It gives me hope that it's possible to change these horrible issues

One of the more interesting and informed guests Rogan has had on his podcast.

It's almost like this dude has 2 voices at once. Amazing.

This guy's like Professor KKKlump

Love how Joe can have Ari "The Amazing Racist" Shaffir on his podcast and this guy lmao

When he talks about getting rid of black history month, seriously the best thing I ever heard and best argument for it ever

This man is the embodied antidote to the plague of the social justice warrior.

This is the way to treat racism and hate weather it's color ,race ,religion ,ethnicity, or nationalism. You treat by sitting with the other side and trying to understand where they come from, and showing them that you're not different than they are, we're all the same. Humans are such advanced intelligent and intellectual creatures that we can easily relate to each other and see that what we have incommon is more than our differences. Big respect to this man right here

“Especially if I wanna stop at a Klan rally on the way to a gig.” 😂😂😂

This guy knows how it's done. He doesn't convert anyone, he educates them and then let's them convert themselves. Doesn't always work. As he says "ignorance can be cured, stupidity cannot" some people will never change and he accepts that. But it's pointless bothering with those people

The Bible does not. Moses married an Ethiopian woman and Aaron and his wife tried to get onto Moses for it and God almost killed Arron and his wife for it

JR should name this podcast episode “Daryl Davis’ TED Talk but more details”

🎶Why can’t we be friends🎶 🎶Why can’t we be friends🎶 🎶Why can’t we be friends🎶 🎶Why can’t we be friends!🎶

In my opinion, this is one of the most interesting JRE ever

It's like he's talking through a fan

His voice sounds like when you speak through a fan wtf

This man knows things. The younger generation is hiding themselves away from the issues like racial discrimination but they should be meeting these people and talking to them. Instead they base there knowledge of the world on the view they see through a screen or something they were told by a mislead individual on social media

he doesn't make fun of, nor talk negatively of the KKK or anybody involved. this man is best example of an understanding human being

Funny, Joe is doing an absolutely fantastic job here. This is when he’s at his best. Joe goes from brilliant to idiot like a light switch. But he’s doing an amazing job here.

Joe really needs to have a Klan member on to hear his perspective.

What an amazing man. I think of his lessons often.

I respect this man deeply. His willingness to tolerate hatred just to show these racist scum are redeemable is admirable and beautiful. Daryl Davis we love you brother

America is such a strange, strange place...

Why don’t we have human beings like him running our country!

To burn a cross in someone's lawn... It makes me cry how some people can hate so much... I seriously shed tears watching this just trying to imagine why people could live with such meaningless hate in their heart. These are the times where I feel encouraged to get in my feelings. This man is so much stronger, so much braver than I am and it is so humbling to hear his story.

Stop by a clan meeting on the way to a gig lmao

"I felt very comfortable with the gun twirling." Is the quote I wish Daryl had said.

I'm not white but hambugers and hot dogs?.... I might go.

Friendship is the true solution to racism

Get this man some water

Joe, you do great interviews but in my opinion, this is one of your best guests.

"Blacks and whites are not different species. Just different color."

He made friends and talked it out and never once had to hit someone on the head with a bikelock, imagine that.

Hope he contacted the police before going to that « party »

I love that you've interviewed this guy... So many people need to hear how important it is to be friendly to even those you vehemently disagree with.

Dude looks like uncle ruckus

If anyone ever tells you that you shouldn't talk to people you disagree with, tell them about Daryl Davis.

Woah he got Cleveland to come all the way out from quahog to do this. Joe gots all the connects

Joe Rogan: "Is he a dragon or a wizard?" Hahaha it sounds so ridiculous.

"and then they throw their torches at the foot of this cross and its set on fire, they watch and gaze at this burning cross for however long then they start giving speeches at the podium.......... then they go have some hot dogs and hamburgers and the rallys over"🤣🤣🤣🤣

Dude. Charles Murray is not a racist. If someone presents facts, that doesnt make them a racist

That was an absolutely awesome interview hands down Mr Davis is an outstanding person
