Saw this at Instapundit when I woke up at 2:30 AM for no particular reason:
Here is the full tweet:
King Randall conducted a social experiment by posting two videos. In one video, he said he would vote for Kamala, and in the other one, he said he would vote for Trump. When Trump supporters who followed him saw the Kamala video, they didn’t cancel him over his beliefs and still pledged to continue supporting his community work. But, when Kamala supporters watched his Trump video, they went bonkers and became hostile towards him. The video went viral & Trump supporters all over the country bought gifts to send to his school. When your people ask what the difference is between the two sides, THIS IS IT.
Apparently Elon Musk noticed it and tweeted about it and the packages and donations to his boys school keep coming.
This King Randell gentleman runs a school for boys that serves the black community in Georgia and teaches these kids useful skills in a place with one of the highest crime rates in the country and he gets results. The stats speak for themselves:
- 86% improvement in reading comprehension
- 82% of students proficient in General Contracting
- 91% improvement in school grades
- 93% of students proficient in basic auto repair
- 99.99% of student less likely to be repeat offenders
Think about that last stat, what program that serves kids in trouble has a recidivism rate of .01%?
And yet the Democrat left which made George Floyd a saint and insists they believe black lives matter wanted to cut off donations because of a video of him supporting Trump, and others question if he should accept either cash or items donated by Trump supporters.
Bottom line, the Biblical virtue of charity (love) is all about helping the other
The sin of pride, is all about affirming oneself.
When your religion is Christianity you understand this.
When your religion is politics you don’t
But before you congratulate yourself on your righteousness remember this warning from C.S. Lewis:
He must be made to feel (he’d better not put it into words) “how different we Christians are”; and by “we Christians” he must really, but unknowingly, mean “my set”; and by “my set” he must mean not “The people who, in their charity and humility, have accepted me”’, but “The people with whom I associate by right”
And Christ’s parable of the Pharisee and the publican:
“Two people went up to the temple area to pray; one was a Pharisee and the other was a tax collector.
The Pharisee took up his position and spoke this prayer to himself, ‘O God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of humanity – greedy, dishonest, adulterous – or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week, and I pay tithes on my whole income.
But the tax collector stood off at a distance and would not even raise his eyes to heaven but beat his breast and prayed, ‘O God, be merciful to me a sinner.’
I tell you, the latter went home justified, not the former; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted
