Ellis and overcoming racism

C.P. Ellis' story definitely offfers a credible way of overcoming misunderstanding and hatred between races. He completely changed his beliefs, and in a good way. It's credible because it's true. Ellis found his own unique way of overcoming his hatred of African Americans. On a larger scale, this would probably not work as well. It was a personal choice of Ellis to change his opinion and it was because he made friends with the people that he would have originally hated, and he realized that they were just like him. He was just blaming all his hate on a group of people without really getting to know any of them. Not everyone is willing to make the personal decision that Ellis made. There are some people who have hate so deeply instilled in them, that it is very hard for them to completely change their way of thinking the way that Ellis did. This is one personal story, and everyone is different.
