Salvation Army No Longer Accepting Bills Or Coins With White People On Them (satire)

ALEXANDRIA, VA—In an effort to root out racism, the Salvation Army announced they will no longer be accepting any donations in the form of bills or coins that have white people on them.

“Ever since we learned that racism is everywhere, all the time, ingrained in every aspect of life, we realized most U.S. currency depict the faces of white men who only did evil, racist things in their lives,” said the Commander-in-Chief of the Salvation Army, Clurvis Bellman. “We then decided the best way to feed, clothe, and comfort the poor and needy is to stop accepting money tarnished with the faces of men who were basically Hitler.”

This new policy has required some modifications to their standard donation procurement; red donation buckets seen outside of retail establishments will now be accompanied by a bell ringer, a money examiner, and a public shamer to loudly criticize the donor for trying to help the poor with evil, white supremacist money.

The Salvation Army later announced they have defeated racism and have also filed for bankruptcy.

Bottom line. Azz wipe Mgmt destroyed Salvation Army fir their own personal gain WHILE taking $300,000 to $400,000 salaries. They figure we’re just passing thru; and will get rewarded with great jobs by Libs who hate this organization. So let’s destroy; get a sweetheart deal, and make $$ in the process. Oh and to hell with minorities that benefit from the Army too

The SA needs to get burned and burned badly.
I’ve cut them off for good. I know damn well that any walk back on their manifesto is pure BS. I’m not coming back.

I’m not a grudge holder in my everyday life with people. But with these woke commies who hate me, who want to destroy me, no quarter will be given on my part.....ever.

Thank goodness that credit cards and ApplePay don’t have any evil white people on them, so they can still take that money.

They were invented by evil capitalist white people so you can't use those either. Sounds the Salvation Army is SOL and screwed.

The Salvation Army (SA) publication on racism has been deleted, but only the most gullible would believe the character of the organization has turned away from joining popular, squishy expressions of Christianity. Supposedly this long document was a voluntary discussion guide, but what are the chances of advancing in the organization if you expressed disagreement with any of the statements?

For an example of consistent behavior, you could consult the bulletin prepared by the DHS under Obama called Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment, which was later withdrawn because of veteran protests. Compare that document to Biden’s National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism, which seems no more than an updated, expanded, and more elegant version of the former. Here are the links:

National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism

I think the SA publication was a useful as a guide to the teachings/indoctrinations of white privilege and racism, that divides our society into factions. I will definitely miss it. Here are the links from my first email.

Along with coins this Christmas, Salvation Army wants white donors to offer a "sincere apology" for their racism

Let’s Talk About Racism (no longer valid)

The position statement, which they retained, doesn’t seem much better to me, because they include me with “all people”, and I don’t have racist tendencies.

“The tendency for racism is present in all people and all societies.”

They will never receive another donation from me.

I think they just thought they were so special/important that there would be no fallout.

That donors would be honored to continue providing them with their cushy jobs.

Thanks, Mike, for the insight. Sadly, I agree.

I have added the Salvation Army to my list of organizations I contact annually about their transgressions.
