So there is racism, it's bad, but not so wide spread that it has an appreciable impact on the AA community as a whole? Am I getting closer?

It's so bad the number of interracial marriages are at an all time high and every state in the country has seen an increase in them.

EMAW, why you only report part of the story?  Oh yeah, because you have no integrity.

The conference drew concern when it was learned that a number of right-wing trolls and provocateurs known within neo-fascist circles were among those invited to speak. Among them included misogynistic YouTuber Carl “Sargon of Akkad” Benjamin and Aydin Paladin, another You Tuber with antisemitism and Holocaust denial in her history, both along with Mark “Count Dankula” Meechan participants at the 2019 International Conference on Men’s Issues which is organized every year by the group A Voice For Men. As that particular group is listed as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center due to its founder Paul Elam defending rape and violence against women, it is particularly laughable to expect a true dedication to rights and freedoms from the assembled at the Aug. 31 conference.

It became even more unbelievable given another speaker was conservative propagandist Andy Ngo, who saw fame and profit over the summer from having milkshakes and silly string thrown on him by unknown persons at a rally in his native Portland as he attempted to cover them at a rally in June. Before that incident however, Ngo was seen as someone who targeted Muslims, transgender persons and especially antifa in deceptive reports and videos for the benefit of the right, particularly the neo-Fascist group Patriot Prayer, whom he works closely with, so much so he has been accused of not reporting on that organization’s violence while being on the scene while that violence was committed, and even being seen in a video laughing with the group as they plotted attacking antifa at a cidery in Portland called Cider Riot on May 1.

When it came time to defend the conference however, little was said about these individuals by organizers, who attempted to place the reputed liberals they had invited – especially Daryl Davis – front and center as a shield against the charges of platforming fascists. One of those reputed liberal speakers, Melissa Chen, did this for her article about the conference for the right-wing magazine the Spectator, also repeatedly noting how the owners of the Human Village Brewery were Jewish which, while little is known or discussed about the owners’ political leanings, would not mean much in a political climate where neo-fascists of many faiths cultures and colors have been prevalent. For those who opposed the conference that and the many other ruses served to be of no defense at all. Coincidentally, Andy Ngo has also contributed articles to the Spectator, one attacking Muslims, one attacking antifa in Portland and one published a day before the conference where he denied knowing of any planning for the May 1 Cider Riot attack, that he merely “caught snippets of various conversations” from the group he was with and “was preoccupied on my phone”.

 

I guess it's impossible that people were there to protest the other speakers?

Or maybe people were indeed protesting Davis, but not because he converted a few klan members into non-klan members, but because of his defense of Richard Preston?

Last year, Davis saw controversy when he brought Baltimore, MD Klan leader Richard Preston to the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, DC just days before he was sentenced to four years for shooting at a Black man during the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville the year before. Davis also testified as a character witness for Preston during his sentencing.
