I haven't seen any of these episodes...did that dude "change" or just smile for the cameras.

[shortcrust]

To my recollection there was a 'I hadn't really analysed this well enough, I need to think more clearly about what I believe and not assume things about others'. It was pretty weak (which in a way, that's more appropraite, he didn't claim to ''change'' completely) but it had to be, because Karamo had to get out there and shake his hand say that 'well we shouldn't assume things about you either, TrumpSupporter McMan'.

[morieris]

Oh, I see I missed absolutely nothing of any real consequence.

[shortcrust]

Yeah it was about as non-committal as it could get.

That's sad, but not surprising.

I just read an article that said the guy regularly texts Karamo and is now an activist.

[(Anonymous)]

Link? Because the follow ups I read mentioned the texting, but "activist" is definitely overstating things.

It had an affect on Cory, too. It didn’t quite get him to throw his Make America Great Again Hat in the bin (he’s still a Trump supporter), but it allowed him to get his perspective across to a liberal audience, and encouraged him to open up the dialogue between police and public.

He might mean well in terms of saying he wants to bridge the gap between police and the black community, but still identifying as a Trump supporter rather contradicts this commitment, in my view. And the idea that he think he needs to "get his perspective across to a liberal audience" is nauseating. His perspective isn't complicated or an unknown. "Liberal" audiences understand it all too well.

Cory, the Trump-supporting cop from Winder, Georgia, featured in Season 1, is “one of the most dynamic changes I have ever seen, next to Neal,” Brown continued. “Cory texts me photos of him doing the hair routine that Jonathan taught him. He’s now an activist. His job and his position as a police officer is changing. He’s just extremely evolved now. Every time he does something that he used to not do, like comfort someone who had a negative point of view or ignorant point of view, he texts me like a proud kid, saying, ‘Look, I just did it!’ It’s pretty phenomenal to see that type of change because that’s so impactful for our country. To me, this is what our show is all about.”

I don't mean to downplay the positive aspect of that change, but that's interpreting "activist" very generously. While I'm glad that sometimes homophobes can change, I'm also disinclined to throw one a parade because they're... well, starting to behave like a decent person. To me, it feels a bit like when people gush over a man who "babysits" his own kids or who barely manages to pull off a caregiver tasks that women are expected to do every single day, with no thanks. It's just a little too "omg yaaaaaaay you for achieving the bare minimum!"
