The social media manager of Charitable Humans didn’t sound particularly giving in a series of despicable tweets directed toward Texas yesterday.
This isn’t the only nasty-spirited tweet by the organization, which describes itself as a “progressive tax-exempt nonprofit organization seeking new and innovative approaches to address issues in our world and advance humanitarian causes.”
Someone grabbed a screenshot of the other shocking tweets, too.
Psst: I’d just like to point out to the misguided tweeter that Hillary Clinton actually carried the election in Houston with 707,914 votes to Trump’s 545,955 votes. (source)
While I completely support the right of any person not to donate money to a cause they find repugnant, to publically espouse such a vile opinion like that is in the poorest of taste. What a stunning stream of hatred from the spokesperson of a group that is supposed to help people in need.
This is more evidence that some people on the Left just really don’t think like the rest of us do and can justify any opinion in the name of “social justice.”
After a righteous outcry on Twitter, Charitable Humans closed down all of their social media accounts and then posted an explanatory, half-hearted apology on their website, entitled “We’re Horrified by Our Twitter Actions.”
There are no words to express the distaste and hateful words that our Social Media Coordinator unleashed on what was supposed to represent Charitable Humans, an organization that has engaged in global humanitarianism activities in war-torn and severely impoverished nations since 2005. The purpose of our charity was, and so remains, to make the world a better place by focusing on a larger mandate of cultivating a global citizenship initiative along with an online platform for active engagement, and a platform to help people and nonprofit organizations like ours further the reach and impact of good deeds.
We don’t condone the denouncement or imperilment of any human, individual or group; ultimately because that serves no useful purpose and is rather an impairment to progressive change. Our views extend equally toward those that do good and evil in the world, for both have much to teach us about the state of humanity. We’re not for a moment implying that the targets in which the Tweets offensive content are either good, bad, or otherwise because we don’t believe those words are more than labels based upon an individual’s perception of another. Our organization views people for what they are: humans. Everything else is merely a means by which to divide us into opposing factions.
We take full responsibility for this outrageous lack of leadership, for which there is no excuse, though there is an explanation we’d like to put forward in the interest of transparency. We are not a large organization, and we’ve invested much time and sacrifice trying to undertake an endeavor that is much greater than we have the resources or team members to focus on at the capacity needed… (source)
I noticed that they didn’t mention whether their social media manager had been fired or not.
Instead of leaving it at that, they added more to their response as social media erupted over their horrible series of tweets, citing irony in the most ironic way possible.
As an organization, we’re doing everything in our ability to make our official position known and remove all content espousing such hateful, insensitive, and offensive viewpoints. Beyond that, what people choose to believe about our organization despite our efforts are up to them. If the actions of one individual give cause for others to condemn the whole our organization, the work we’ve done, and what we have the potential to do in the future; no response or remedy is going to matter.
What’s becoming obvious is that the risky proposition of continuing any endeavor, charitable or otherwise, in an environment where perfection is expected without a single misstep, is tenuous indeed. No good or progress within society is attainable wherein forgiveness is not attainable. It saddens me that there are people who will allow a single bad act to negate more than a decade of positive impact and humanitarian accomplishments, but nonetheless, we respect peoples’ right to form their own code of conduct and worldview.
It’s rather ironic that, in the same irrational generalization that denounced an entire sect of people, rightly offending a great many, the response by many has been to also measure the sum totality of our organization by its tweets. I point this out not as an excuse, but to highlight how divisive and impractical it is to achieve anything productive when groups take precedence over human individualism.(source)
Personally, I’m having flashbacks to the Gatlinburg fire, when a bunch of “progressives” tweeted gleefully about how well-deserved the tragedy was for those who were pro-Trump during the election.
People who dislike Trump seem to think that the Gatlinburg fire is just desserts for the locals in Tennessee who voted for Donald Trump. I’ve written previously about how those protesting Trump’s election really feel about the people they believe caused Hillary Clinton’s defeat, but this takes things to a sub-human low.
Melissa Dykes reported:
Not only are people saying the Gatlinburg fires are “karma” for the “racist” Trump supporters who live there —
And saying Trump supporters “brought this on themselves” and are being punished by God for voting Trump —
But people are actually out there laughing about Trump supporters’ houses burning down in the Tennessee fires, and even star Michael Ian Black is making glib, dickish jokes about it.
Check out the whole sad, disgusting report here and weep for humanity.
From a prepper point of view, keep in mind that these smug, superior individuals will be the ones that feel entitled to your food and emergency supplies. While they like to portray themselves as tolerant and kind to minorities and immigrants, don’t be fooled. Their scorn for working-class, middle America couldn’t be more blatant. (source)
What a sad state of division we are in when even tragedy doesn’t pull us together. It makes you wonder if we can ever again be united.
Thankfully, the people of the Gulf states are working hand in hand to aid the official response. In fact, Texas has been the kind of wonderful example of dignity and self-reliance that makes me proud to be an American.
There are many heartwarming stories of the Cajun Navy rescuing people trapped in their homes and even one of them pulling an elderly woman who was floating face down in the water and resuscitating her. Neighbors are helping neighbors, and people from all over are coming to help.
With the level of devastation (and it isn’t over yet) it may take a while. But I know that Texas will recover from this devastating disaster.
Guess we’ll remember that next time there’s a Hurricane Sandy.
Wonder if the big billionaires from Amazon, Microsoft, Google and all the tech companies will donate a few million to help the Texans.

She told me that she will not come to TX, where I live, because of George Bush being from here.

7If one of thy brethren that dwelleth within the gates of thy city in the land which the Lord thy God will give thee, come to poverty: thou shalt not harden thy heart, nor close thy hand, 8But shalt open it to the poor man, thou shalt lend him, that which thou perceivest he hath need of. 9Beware lest perhaps a wicked thought steal in upon thee, and thou say in thy heart: The seventh year of remission draweth nigh; and thou turn away thy eyes from thy poor brother, denying to lend him that which he asketh: lest he cry against thee to the Lord, and it become a sin unto thee. 10But thou shalt give to him: neither shalt thou do any thing craftily in relieving his necessities: that the Lord thy God may bless thee at all times, and in all things to which thou shalt put thy hand. 11There will not be wanting poor in the land of thy habitation: therefore I command thee to open thy hand to thy needy and poor brother, that liveth in the land.
This will be another example of how the liberals are the cheapest bastards in the world. They will want you and me to put up our money through federal actions so they pat themselves on the back and tell the world how charitable THEY are.
BTW this will also show what fakes the muslims are with their bull shit “charity” which is just a way to fool the IRS while they fund terror. Mosques will do exactly ZERO to help as they did in NYC in Sandy.

Texas doesn’t need your help, lefties. We’ll take care of our own.
Someone — the Mayor of Corpus Christi, I think — was interviewed just before the SHTF. He was adamant - said something like: “We Texans are self sufficient. We don’t need anyone’s help. We will be thankful for any help we might get, but we don’t need it. We are self sufficient.”
Great attitude. Similar to when Nashville was flooded a few years ago. Obama sent nobody in to help (they generally vote GOP), and they took care of the mess themselves. No whining, as there was in Nagan’s New Orleans.

“...liberals are the cheapest bastards in the world. They will want you and me to put up our money through federal actions...”
Absolutely. My lib friend is like that. WE — that is, “WE” — should pay more taxes so everyone can have government healthcare. I told her nobody would complain if she wanted to donate an extra few thousands of dollars for that purpose. As for our family, we pay our minimum taxes, and then the majority of our charity goes to our local church.
Well, that's not true. Several mosques opened their doors to be shelters quite early on in the storm.
I've seen a banner ad by Google saying they will match any donations to Harvey relief.
