Funny story, when I was a kid I had a very fat, left wing Sunday school teacher.
The kind who talks about helping minorities but has never interacted with them, and never realizes they don’t want help especially from some old white lady
Anyways, she sent us on a “mission trip” to south side Chicago when I was like 11 💀
We get to the place and it’s by far the most ghetto spot I’ve ever been to.
People are doing drugs in the street, gunshots are going off at night, and as I’m walking down the street people are yelling out their window saying “get out of our neighborhood cracka!!” “What a white boy like you doing here?”
We meet up with some local inmates to restore this inner city park, as soon as we get there we pick up shovels and start helping these inmates do the mulch.
Like 5 minutes into working, our liberal Sunday school teacher tries to dip off, but as soon as she got up the inmates immediately check her and tell her to get her lazy ass back and work harder 😂
You could see her entire worldview imploding in real time. The combination of her realizing that they didn’t give af about her “kindness” combined with the fact that they were actually making her do hard work for the first time in her life was icing on the cake.
Ironically that was the first and last time we ever did that 😂
Then after we rebuilt the parks that we went to this fire jerk chicken spot and came back home
I have no clue why my parents let me go on that trip, but 10/10 character building experience, would 100% do it again
The worst thing you can do as a right-wing person is talk to your pastor about your political views. Every single one of them is taught in seminary that the key to doing evangelism is to first drive all the right-leaning people out of their churches.
