Hating the hater is only one step up from being a hater. Better to lead by example.

This is the part that msm doesn't want to focus on.

Having said that, I like the tactic the guy used. No violence, not screaming at him, not trying to shut him up...he asked a legit question and tried to use a positive gesture, instead. That's how you get communication going, and despite someone else punching him in the mouth, I'll bet he remembers that guy hugging him more than the face punch. I'll bet that hug was more powerful, too.

Why is the onus on the "hated" to lead by example?

I do think that most people do want to do good and be good and that often racists are just ignorant or hurting in some way due to past slights or trying to fit in somewhere. Kindness can be much stronger than disdain or violence to make an impact on someones life.
This I agree with 100%

That black dude gave his name in the article. Which is scary.

Seriously, the SJWs aren't going to like that he didn't punch or stab the Nazi. He'll probably get death threats from the SJWs.

A brave man. He seems to be employing the tactic that Daryl Davis uses.

You actually expect people to be sympathetic towards Nazis?

If anything they encourage division with the victim card they play.
So a black dude hugs a Nazi, and the first thing that comes to YOUR mind is how many Blacks are racist, huh?

Lemme guess; Right wing Republican?
