Annually I will send the below letter to Salvation Army.

The Salvation Army National Headquarters 615 Slaters Lane Alexandria, VA 22314

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:

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

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4015516/posts

Let’s Talk About Racism (subsequently withdrawn)

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

https://babylonbee.com/news/salvation-army-no-longer-accepting-bills-or-coins-with-white-people-on-them/?adlt=strict&toWww=1&redig=1A90265771E942D5A079CABF90CA4C99

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.

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?

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 fix for this is simple:

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.

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.

The Salvation Army really screwed the pooch last year with their "Let's Talk About Racism" guide asking white donors to offer a “sincere apology” for their racism.

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.

BY YOUR OWN WORDS YOU ARE JUDGED!
Simply breathtaking hypocrisy!

If one want to do good charity donations look to a church. Not all churches. Find out how they use the charity donations and very importantly how much their overhead expenses are. If the overhead expenses are low and you agree with how the money is spent, use them.

Maybe they'll take some of these.   (This guy ain't really "white", but more like "pasty".)

Good luck with getting money from BLM
