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.

The Salvation Army (SA) publication on racism, relying heavily on White Privilege and Critical Race Theory (CRT), was deleted, but only the truly gullible would believe the character of the organization has turned away from joining the most 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 one expresses disagreement with any of the statements? Why wouldn’t it hold a cherished pride of place in the personal libraries found in offices of all those looking to their futures?
I think the SA publication was useful as a guide to the teachings/indoctrinations of White Privilege and CRT, that divides our society into factions. I will definitely miss it. Here are the links from the first email I wrote on the subject:

The position statement below, which you retained, does not seem much better to me, because they include me with “all people”, and I don’t have racist tendencies. I consider myself and all true Americans to be sovereign individuals who find their value and primary identity in pre-existing, natural, intangible liberties. All of God’s children then exercise these liberties for strongholds of competence and self-worth for building individual character and exalting the human spirit. Those defaulting to race or ethnicity to find acceptance and success are to be pitied.

“The tendency for racism is present in all people and all societies.”
Next is the Babylon Bee article titled:
Salvation Army No Longer Accepting Bills or Coins with White People on Them

Be assured I expect behavior consistent with the publication you still hold dear, and you will never receive another donation from me.
I used to have autopay send them $40 a month.
I stopped when I learned they considered me to be a white devil.
Commies keep buying out ‘nonprofits’ with old honorable names...
The Salvation Army always seemed closer to Masonry than Christianity. Isn’t it one of their core tenants that you just have to believe in some God, but not the God of the Bible?
What’s the Salvation Army?
That will probably end the Salvation Army as a viable charity. Too bad. They used to do good things. Now that they have become Political, it is time to scratch them from the list.
They used to be the Salvation Navy, but found it hard to set-up and manage soup kitchens on the open seas.
These days, when I see a post with a title like this, I find myself saying: “Okay this is probably more satire from the Babylon Bee....but then again, maybe not.”
The babylon bee ffs, some of you people are numbskulls.
Since there are no good works apart from Christ, they couldn't do good works, but they could do beneficial works. And support for beneficial works isn't a bad thing.
But now they just do Woke Works, which are evil. So donations in the Red Kettle now rank down there with Girl Scout Cookies, which also support an evil organization.
They deleted some text because donations have been falling, not because they are sincerely sorry for their racist hate against Whitey.
I will not be putting any more money in their red barrels.
Had me for .125 seconds...
Really starting to wise up at this point.
Hard to fool.
Say it ain’t so ORAG-—did the BB just get you?
“Isn’t it one of their core tenants that you just have to believe in some God, but not the God of the Bible?”
Maybe now, but not always. My very fundamental, KJV-only, traditional, Baptist preacher uncle was a speaker at a SA camp in upstate NY every year back in the ‘60s. I would go once in a while. Except for their odd uniforms and structure, they didn’t seem “off” in any way.
Don't anyone donate to the Salvation Army in any way.
No checks, no credit cards, no Zelle, Venmo or Paypal. Nothing. After all: paying in any one of these forms is backed by currency with pictures of white men on it.
Problem solved. Salvation Army: Get woke, go broke.
Oh FFS, you got me. This played right into my confirmation bias. Damn’ you Babylon Bee! LOL!!!
I wonder if they are accepting food donations. Does it matter if the food has been digested once already?
So far this year, they have not been collecting money at my local supermarket. They kettle holder is folded up in the lobby, no kettle, no SA.
It was quickly withdrawn but the damage was done.
Who knew at the time that the Salvation Army was funding an International Social Justice Commission?
Nobody did. Now we all do and people are just walking past the kettle.
Go woke, go broke.
They took mind the other day , must be a new policy ,LOL
