Every time I read anything about "social justice", all I see is shunning and hate. Fighting racism, nazism, sexism,... I'm all for that. But if you become just like your enemy, what's the point? You're just another whatever-ist.
It's just getting ridiculous. Some countries (hello mother France!) have anti-racism laws. A common french saying is "Racism is not an opinion, it's a crime". There you go, fine the racists, send them all to jail,... All this does is give fuel to their idea of "The <people-you-dont-like> lobby is in cahoots with our government, it's a conspiracy". The idea spreads underground like rotten water and nobody ever tries to clean it.
He must have an incredible personality, to be able to approach people predisposed to hate him and win them over every time... not many people could or would do that.
