First, watch this video (8:40). It is about a black musician, Daryl Davis, who has taken it upon himself to meet with a diverse group of race related groups from the KKK to BLM and try to get to know them and develop relationships with them. Even to the point of being friends with them.
He epitomizes the true American spirit of freedom and inclusion. He refuses to demonize or marginalize people even though they have wildly different beliefs than he does. He seeks to find common ground. It is beautiful to watch.
If we as Americans sought to find common ground and paths to get along instead of looking for ways to be upset and offended we would be a lot happier all around. In fact, it just might make our country a better place.
