In the spirit of Catholic_Lady's OP I want to link to this which I actually saw on reddit just a couple of weeks ago.

I know a few people have said something along the lines, that there are some people that are too far gone to build bridges with. This article talks about a black man who has befriended members of the KKK and just through interacting peacefully with them, talking with them, learning about them, and sharing with them; has created a reason for them to doubt a lot of the racial prejudices they once had. I hate to get all cliche and pull the trump card of racial unity, but I think that is what made Martin Luther King Jr such a monumental human being. He didn't just fight his opposition, he loved them too. And I feel like somewhere along the way we lost that message. I really do think whether it be political, racial, or social ideologies we can probably find common ground more often than not if your willing to come to the table with an open mind and the desire to discuss, rather than argue.
