Salvation Army trying to weasel their way out of their woke statement.

[StAnDeliver]

Take your money and set it ON FIRE before you ever give The Salvation Army another quarter!

Here are some lowlights from the PDF. READ THEM AND WEEP.

Wow, even got in a dig at St. Augustine. Wow. Wow.

FUSalvArmy! Paupers! Mendicants!

What is wrong with repenting for racist ideologies or actions? That doesn’t sound like a command to repent just for being white! Where am I going wrong?

[ealgeone]

The info talks about whiteness, systemic racism, etc. all the code words for whitey bad….and only whitey.

[TChad]

What a sales pitch!:

"Pay the Salvation Army to compensate for your systemic racism, you disgusting white supremacist!"

For some reason, it doesn't motivate me to donate.

[WHATNEXT?]

I always donated to SA. Now I’m looking into donating to West Union Baptist Church. Oldest (1853) church and cemetery west of the Rockies. Early Oregon trail pioneers buried there. Amazed the simple wooden church still stands and does hold services. Want my money to go to maintaining a fragile historically significant structure.

What is with the __attribute__ tags?

[joma89]

So they admit they created the document, argue everything in it is correct, but withdrawal it after they were caught blaming white people.

Again, too little, too late. I will never support the Salvation Army again.

[joma89]

Thanks. I gave them my opinion of the racist salvation army.

If they can’t oust their woke leadership, those Salvationists who continue to adhere to traditional core Christian values should break off and form a new church. They might call it something like the Salvation Marine Corps.

The “guide” Let’s Talk About Racism says exactly what they are accused of. The withdrawing the “guide” to reconsider it does not negate their own ignorance and racism.

Read it yourself if you can stomach it.

Their goose is cooked.

This one.

I went to the survey again and it is closed. I trust the racists at the salvation army read negative reply after negative reply.

It is well past time to make sure all woke companies and organizations fail.

I just sent the Salvation Army an email informing them that they won't be receiving a check from us this Christmas. I have been sending them a check for the last decade. Here's what I wrote:

My family has supported the Salvation Army with Christmas donations for years but we will be withholding our check this year. Our giving policy toward the TSA is being "clarified", much like your organization's unfortunate adventure into woke-ism. It's fine to point out that racism and Christianity are inconsistent with each other. I agree. But promoting the likes of Robin DiAngelo and Ibram X Kendi in your guide as resources is repugnant. These are people who are espousing a hateful ideology intended to divide this country and tear our cultural fabric to shreds.

Shame on TSA and your social justice commission for this blunder.

We may reconsider next year based on your further "clarifications". From what we have seen so far, it's not enough.

This year we'll send the money to other charities who are not trying to score virtue signaling brownie points.
