Daryl Davis

I said, well, you can you can tell me just who the hell gives you the authority to make permanent travel arrangements for me.

And he says, what's your name?

I said, Darryl Davis.

And then he did something I've never forgotten.

He shook my hand, and he held my hand real tight, and he shook his other hand, shook his finger in my face.

And he said, Mr. Davis, you have to understand one thing.

It is in the interest of your race, the black race, to be a strong race.

And you cannot be a strong race unless you are a pure race.

And you cannot be a pure race if you are miscegenating with other races.

It is in the interest of my race, the Aryan race, which is what he calls white race, right?

to also be a pure race, to be a strong race.

And we cannot be a strong race if we are miscegenating with our mud races such as yours.

We are becoming a mongrel race.

So anybody who's non-white is a mud race.

And he's fearing that his race is dying out, becoming a mongrel race by mixing with other races.

So he says, until the races understand that they cannot miscegenate, we cannot live side by side.

We cannot live together.

Yeah.

So he you know, I talked to him about, you know, maybe 20, 30 minutes.

I wasn't there to beat him up or cuss him out.
