"Charity is not a substitute for social justice."
Of course it is not. Charity is real and it helps people right now where they need help the most. Social justice is a fantasy dreamed up in ivory towers. But only the left is compassionate, right?
"I've been there. I've seen it."
Where have you been and what have you seen to feel the need to put down experiences of those in minority who have succeeded in life? What have you as a member of the compassionate party done to help the poor people since charities aren't you thing?
"Have you?"
I have never ever once heard a migrant say: "I hope those nice social justice people succeed with their big ideas.".
It was always: "Look what those nice people from the church down the road did for us.".
