The world is breaking and the country is burning, so Matt couldn’t bring himself to do a normal Sunday Service. Instead, he focuses on a religion other than Christianity, though one that is just as confusing and indirectly destructive— American Exceptionalism. But the main focus of today’s episode is the only thing worth talking about at this particularly fucked up moment in time: the deeply disturbing murder of George Floyd, the astonishing straightforwardness of its brutality, the illuminating and differing responses to it from the media and the public, the ensuing nationwide protests, the unfortunate but unavoidable looting and destruction it has led to, why and how there is only one ‘side’ to be on amid all this chaos— and ultimately why it’s so hard for some white people to come to terms with the fact that racism is still so pervasive in our country. Matt also makes time to shit all over Donald Trump’s terrible but predictable response to all of this. And finally, Matt tells some personal anecdotes about the LA protests— which have literally been happening directly outside his front door. Stay safe, everybody.
