How A Black Man Defeated The KKK With Humor

With a name like Johnny Lee Clary, your life choices from birth are basically limited to “professional wrestler” or “KKK Imperial Wizard.” Johnny Lee Clary dared to dream and became both. As good an ol’ boy as good ol’ boys get, the guy led his Oklahoma Klan chapter through cross-burnings, threat campaigns, and even church arson for the better part of a decade. The entire time, he constantly harrassed NAACP leader Reverend Wade Watts, who would turn out to be the Roadrunner to his Wile E. Coyote, spoiling and thwarting his racist tactics time and again, usually in hilarious ways. Clary eventually left the Klan, became a minister, befriended Watts, and was even invited to preach at the church he had once tried to burn down. In this talk show clip, Clary describes his run-ins with Watts while he was still a Klansman. They’re actually very funny, especially the last one that finally made him give up on going after the reverend.

      • 反思自己,我是觉得自己以前所受到的教育面和观点其实都是很狭隘的,其实很多时候,事情的另一面和我们所想像的并不是一回事。现在的制度能让我们看到更多,所以更应该多看多思
