text: But that interaction with a "good one" can help them see that not all of the others are inherently "bad ones." It's like that black guy who made it a point to be friendly with neo nazis. He convinced a lot of nazis to leave their regional group... By being realistic with them. By being the "one good" black guy they new. And in knowing him it made them empathetic with the people they were harassing etc. It changed the situation from an "us vs them" to a realistic vision of greys. Respect and tolerance will get us further than shunning with these types of people.
