C.P. Ellis Credibility
I believe that C.P. Ellis' overcoming of misunderstanding and hatred is most definitely credible. The fact that Ellis was a Klan member is basically admitting that he was at one point very close minded and hateful, but by forcing himself to open his mind to what could be outside of the world he knew. I think a big part of Ellis' credibility comes from the fact that he gives reasoning to his joining the Klu Klux Klan, that he had a hard life growing up and needed someone to blame it on. Ellis' reasoning really helps build his credibility by making it easier to see why he realized he was at fault.

Jordan,
I definitely agree with what you are saying about his credibility. I hadn't thought about just that incident being so powerful that it would lead you to believe he is credible just because of that--but after I read your blog I understand. I do think it says a lot to tell people you were in the Klan and now you've changed because most likely people won't feel the same as if you hadn't said it at all. But thinking about it the way you said it, I think I would find him more credible.
GOOD WORK :]
