Salvation Army ditched by donors and volunteers after disastrous release of 'anti-racism' guide

Salvation Army chapters across the country are reporting massive shortages in volunteer hours and toy donations just weeks after the charity distributed (and then pulled) a controversial guide calling on white people to confront their "racist attitudes."

Some 20,000 volunteer hours have gone unfilled for the Salvation Army's Red Kettle campaign this year, which historically represents about 33% of the charity's total yearly donations. The charity has also reported substantial shortages of toy and gift donations in some parts of the country, such as New Jersey, where donations are down 30% across the state.

We know the PROG/LIB/SOCIALIST/DEM/COMMUNISTS don’t care when a religious or evangelical organization goes out of business because of WOKEISM, but perhaps when other evangelical/religious organizations see the effects of the consequences they will think better than to follow the SA’s example.

I did a quarterly donation to the SA for almost 50 years, as my wages went up my quarterly donation went up——NO MORE!

Other similar organizations would do well to pay attention to this fact.

INSULTING AND DENIGRATING YOUR DONORS IS NOT A GOOD IDEA!

And “surprise, surprise, surprise”, most people who donate to these types of organizations are (wait for it);

CONSERVATIVE AMERICANS!!!!

Good.

The tree is beautiful this year, though. People seem more in the Christmas spirit than ever. Resilient! They're not going to let any old stupid virus ruin Christmas. The trees being sold on the sidewalks seem to be fuller and more gorgeous than ever too.

That’s very encouraging. A close friend and I went to NYC at Christmastime in 2009 to see all of the traditional things like the tree & skaters at 30 Rock, the Rockettes and the store windows. (Macy’s did not disappoint!) It was beautiful and vibrant, though awfully cold for us southerners. LOL

And I’m very glad to see that there are so many people thumbing their noses at Gov. Kathy’s tyrannical edicts.

O’Sullivan’s Law

According to Urban Dictionary, "O’Sullivan’s Law states that any organization or enterprise that is not expressly right wing will become left wing over time. The law is named after British journalist John O’Sullivan."

Could there be any more expressly right wing organization than a Biblical Christian organization? Apparently, there has been an erosion or an incursion. I'm sure you're aware that the left makes a point of taking down Christian organizations, and the bigger, the better.

What cracks me up — SA lost a ton of money thanks to calling out white “racism.” Naturally, the whites walked away in disgust.

So did any non-whites step up to the “kettle”? (crickets chirping) Did any of them fill it, now that the SA is woke? (crickets still chirping) Funny how in the end none of them gave two hoots (even though they’ll avail themselves of SA stores & services).

This shows the irony of the “get woke, go broke.” It’s like the guy who ditches his wife for some floozy, who then dumps him. Insult your loyal base, and they don’t stay loyal for long.
