The Salvation Army has followed the lead of other woke organizations in entering the establishment media-manufactured race war and is asking donors to offer a “sincere apology” for whiteness, as detailed in a resource guide “developed to guide The Salvation Army family in gracious discussions about overcoming the damage racism has inflicted upon our world.”
The Salvation Army’s International Social Justice Commission crafted the guidance, which seeks to urge donors to “understand and acknowledge the definitions of race and racism and how the social construct of race has affected society” and ultimately “lament, repent and apologize for biases or racist ideologies held and actions committed.”
“Many have come to believe that we live in a post-racial society, but racism is very real for our brothers and sisters who are refused jobs and housing, denied basic rights and brutalized and oppressed simply because of the color of their skin,” the resource guide states, adding that there is an “urgent need for Christians to evaluate racist attitudes and practices in light of our faith, and to live faithfully in today’s world.”
The resource guide itself contains “five sessions” to “help delve into the topic of racism and the Church.” Those include entire sections titled.“Self-Care for People of Color,” “What is Whiteness?,” “Lamenting and Repenting — a Conversation Guide,” among others.

Here’s the change that knuckling under to the SJWs accomplishes. Initially the weirdos hated you and your steadfastness encouraged the people who were in your corner. Afterwards, the weirdos still hate you—but now they have contempt for you and power over you as well. The people who were always on your side are discouraged, so large numbers of them turn their backs on you.
I’m guessing that this is all about the government funds and corporate cash. Also about the approval of the world.
I agree, there are less and less of the charities I will be donating to. At one time I thought very highly of the Salvation Army.
Screw this crap! No more dollars from me in the kettle!
I am just too white for my money to do the SA any good. Giving to the rescue mission instead.
wow.
SA was one of the few charities I gave to yearly.
GAVE. Past tense.
No more.
I had to check to see if this was the Babylon Bee.
“””drop a note in the red kettle
go woke go broke”””
Exactly what I was going to write on my note, except mine will be in all caps.
BE WOKE GO BROKE
Too bad this turned out to be true. I’m done. If nothing I can do will ever be enough, then that’s what they’ll get: nothing.
I am also going to start dropping notes in the SA kettles but I think I will add a few flat washers so it sounds like change.
Along with a note I am going to add a few flat washers so it sounds like change.
I used to donate to them religiously but haven’t donated to them in five years and won’t ever again.
YES!
Technically, The Salvation Army is only asking its member to do this.
When I was a little kid out on the High Plains, 40 miles from the nearest town, my Momma scrubbed me down with this to make sure I stayed this color!

At another time she washed me with Ajax Laundry Detergent and this White Knight came out of the sage brush and zapped me!

I got nothing to apologize for.
We are pretty prolific with our donations, but we are also very specific. Salvation Army hasn’t been big on our list but always went out of my way to put money in the kettles at Christmas.
Never again.
Not very smart! In fact I for one have had enough. I will have my note ready and if they ask that, I will give my own opinion after I drop it in the pot!
I used to drive across town to donate goods....
Now, might as well just haul to the curb with a “free” sign
With leftists in charge, they won’t be Christian for that many more years.
It must be very convenient to be able to blame your lack of work history and poor education, your poor credit history, and your criminal record on your skin color.
