Open post Julie Sqveakaroo @JulieSqveakaroo@dragon.style · 12mo ago Replying to @CosmickTrigger@social.edist.ro <p>Mr Rogers was a republican.<br />He was a white christian cis het man.</p><p>He prayed and read the Bible every day.</p><p>He created a children's TV show with taxpayer money in which he promoted his "christian views" to a secular audience through secular media.</p><p>He studied other religions and other cultures to improve on his reach and connection. He never preached or quoted scripture--yet, we all got the message he intended for us.</p><p>He appealed to President Nixon and Congress to continue to fund the creation of PBS with a persuasive speech that is one of the most studied for public speaking and PR. A gentle but powerful speaker.</p><p>While white people were pouring concrete into public pools rather than share with black neighrbors, Fred Rogers broadcast himself sharing a quiet conversation in a pool with African-American music and co-worker, Francios Clemmons. The softest act of defiance against White Supremacy.</p><p>He was the most demanded speaker on college campuses--he did not have to con his way onto campus to speak and nazis and counter-protesters did not follow his appearances---You know, despite the fact that he was a white christian man promoting christian values to the general public.</p><p>Every generation since the 1968 has been positively impacted by Mr Rogers.</p><p>Even children in the past 20 years are benefiting from his legacy at PBS --his methods and messages are STILL used in children's programming around the world.</p><p>No one had to mandate mourning his death because we all actually felt a genuine loss when he passed away. Even grown adults, who had not watched his show for 10 years by the time he passed, felt a piece of genuine goodness leave the planet.</p><p>We did not have to be Christian with Mr Rogers for him to do so much for us. </p><p>He never asked us to be Christian with him.</p><p>He only asked us to be his neighbor.</p><p>So...</p><p>If you find that the general public is rejecting your brand of Christianity, it might because you are a horrible fucking person with a 2000 yr old book of shitty excuses that no one is buying into.</p><p>It might be because you are a filthy grifter looking to capitalize off end-times hysteria and seniors with end-of-life anxieties.</p><p>It might be cause you are a disgusting bigot trying to reap superiority while evading moral accountability.</p><p>It probably has nothing to do at all with you actually "being a christian".</p><p>Cause we all fucking loved Mr Rogers.</p><p>-- Patchie Dee</p> @CosmickTrigger@social.edist.ro Thank you for this.
