I posted a photo on FB of me with @ScottPresler, announcing the clean up done in a Detroit neighborhood.
Immediately, one of my liberal friends had something to say about my having done it with Scott.
This brings something up...
1/
It should not matter ONE BIT who did the cleanup.
Not one bit.
It was an act of love done with a local church to prove that #BlackLivesMatter, rather than incessant virtue signaling on Social Media.
2/
The most vocal white liberal people speaking that #BlackLivesMatter and all that, would NEVER venture into any neighborhood off Outer Drive in Detroit.
NEVER.
But they're ready to condemn what we did, just because someone who vocally supports the President was there.
3/
Did Scott's presence make the works less valuable?
Nope, we had a great time talking to the local neighbors, who thanked us all for helping clean up the abandoned houses and vacant lots.
The Pastor of the corner church was thrilled to have Scott's help, despite politics.
4/
When you value someone's opinions more than their DEEDS AND HEART, you're doing it wrong.
When I wrote a reply to her, she answered with "Jesus, Joe".
I said "Yes. EXACTLY.... JESUS."
