"When I was in college at Temple University (in the middle of the N Philly hood) an elective class I took involved going 10 blocks off campus to help out at a community garden, which was built and maintained by Temple students. The garden was supposed to provide fresh produce to the 99% black community surrounding the school.
Well, my college kept having to build higher and higher fences because the neighborhood kids would inevitably come in and destroy it - tear up the plants, steal the tools, etc. The teachers couldn't come up with a politically correct reason why this kept happening, but even I as a brainwashed 19 yo instinctually knew why:
It was nothing more than seething resentment at White college students coming to their neighborhood with fancy tools and healthy food (stuff they dubbed as White). Just blind hatred of people who were more "privileged" than them, even if we used our privilege to help their dysfunctional community. Eventually the project was scrapped and the course was canceled due to the fact that black people wouldn't stop destroying everything we tried to grow for them." - @AlfredAlfer77 on X
