This is what happens when trump evangelicals visit another country

Last edited Sat Aug 17, 2019, 06:34 PM - Edit history (1)

Actually happened last year but needs to be shown what these ignorants think trump gives them power to do.

An American missionary’s racist rant in Uganda shows the disturbing reality of White Savior complex

Last week, Ugandan police were called to a hotel in the center of the capital Kampala where an American citizen had assaulted and racially abused hotel employees.

Jimmy Taylor, 69, a self-proclaimed missionary, uttered a barrage of insults at Ugandans working at one of the oldest hotels in the city, the Grand Imperial Hotel. The whole spectacle was captured on video and, thanks to social media, the footage went viral and became a point of debate and conversation beyond Uganda.

Remember the story about the American missionary who tried to convert the indigenous people of that island? Hint: it did not end well for him. But, hey! He's a martyr in some people's eyes. And a "Dickhead" in everyone else's.

From Slate.com:

John Allen Chau dreamed of converting the members of an isolated tribe on the North Sentinel Island, who are known to aggressively resist contact from outsiders. He attempted to prepare to do so, but he didn’t speak the language. At one point, he wrote to his mother, he approached a group of North Sentinelese from the water and “hollered: ‘My name is John, I love you and Jesus loves you.’ ” Chau was killed, apparently by bows and arrows, the next day on the beach.

by going after LGBT citizens with prison and even death sentences. Anyone who supports that terrorist cult is a terrorist, period.

If a person supports Trump you almost know they're going to hurl racist obscenities and start abusing people.
