They want less guilt trip. In a baptist church. I grew up in one of those and let me tell you "You should care about people who don't look like you" is a poor shadow of a guilt trip when "You're going to burn for eternity for thinking about maybe having fun" is right there.

How do these people feel that they are being talked about in the first place, and then they're mad about it?

I like this photo caption from the story: "Myers Park Baptist Church has a rich civil rights history and sits in one of Charlotte's wealthiest neighborhoods."

That's the story, man. Rich white liberals want to feel like they're on the right side of history way more than they want to change Anything

About which—it's me, hi, I'm the problem etc. I don't want to change, and I want to believe I'm a good person from the comfort of my cozy big house. I get that feeling, I just don't see how you can call yourself a grownup and not at least try to move past it.
