You have some problems with your examples again sport.
I don't have loads of time today, so I'll just cover the first one. Your post would imply that the late Rev. Wade Watts, odd that you didn't even think to include his name, given that he's such a great example of how you cure racism, cured Johnny Lee Clary of racism. This is utter horse shit.
What actually cured Johnny of his dependency on the clan? You can thank the FBI for that.
Clary alleges a girlfriend at the time turned out to be an FBI informant who discovered the identities of several “secret” Klan members who were in turn disclosed publicly.
“When I first joined the Klan, it was like mom, apple pie and white supremacy,” he said. “The next thing you know it switches to a Nazi philosophy of wanting to exterminate other races, kill people and blow up government buildings.”
Clary also alleges a leader within a neo-Nazi group approached him about going to Libya to get money for the white power movement from Col. Muammar Qaddafi.
When Clary began speaking at Klan rallies and appearing on shows such as “Oprah” and “The Morton Downey Jr. Show,” his wrestling career suddenly dried up.
Using Mafia figure Charles “Lucky” Luciano’s methods as a model, Clary said he attempted a last-ditch effort to pull things together.
“(Luciano) unified the Mafia families in New York by forming a commission,” he said. “If it worked for the Mafia, where the Mafia gained all this power, it’s got to work for white supremacy.”
Clary said he called a unity meeting of white power groups in Pulaski, Tenn. The meeting, he said, was a disaster. Members of various groups spent the day fighting among themselves, he said.
But when a friend told Clary that the FBI had approached police about planting drugs on him to get him out of the picture, he knew it was time to walk away from the Klan.
“I started thinking, I gave up a career in pro wrestling, I gave up a normal relationship with a girl I was in love with, I gave up my privacy,” he said. “Am I ready to give up my freedom and go to prison for the white race?”
“These were a lot of police officers,” said Clary. “People were losing their jobs for being in the Klan.” The FBI was becoming more and more aggressive making weapons cases against Klan members.
It became apparent to Clary the FBI would see him in prison if something didn’t change. Clary repented, for the wrong reason, and resigned from the Klan. Then, those he had recruited turned on their former leader, saying a true Klansman wouldn’t abandon the organization because of the threat of imprisonment.
“They called me a stoolie and coward. I said, ‘OK, you go to prison for the Klan,'” said Clary.
Obviously, you and your clique watched a couple of youtube videos and everyone clearly read that Vox article detailing the work of those two grad students and Alanna Conner. You guys got all pumped like super heroes because you feel like you can cure racism now.
I'm simply suggesting it's a little more complicated than that.
