I remember it’s pre-woke days when the SA was about saving souls and helping the down & out - and street bands. Was a good org at one time.
Then I read about the anti racism guide and actual quotes from the preachy leftist document.
I'll not make the mistake of supporting their organization which made the choice for me and my Country to be inaccurately insulted again.
Ever.
When I confronted my racist nature I realized that it was why I was donating to Salvation Army. Racist nature confronted, Salvation Army cancelled.
If you think liberals care when an evangelical organization goes out of business, you’re barking up the wrong tree.
The ONLY chance the SA had was to apologize...admit they made a mistake...but they went on the offensive blaming others for spreading hate and discord.
Come to think of it, I haven’t seen a single red kettle this year.
I hope another truly Christian-based charity will soon step up and fill the void.
The SA was that at one time, but alas, they have been infiltrated and destroyed by the left.
Typically conservative and religious organizations, who rely on support from conservative and religious people, and then succumb to pressure from the Left to adopt the Lefts agendas, and lose support from their traditional sources, should not be surprised when the Left doesn’t step up to help support the organization.
Sadly, too many mainstream churches and religion based organizations have become “woke” - even promoting it!
Tip - Stay Out of Politics!
The top leadership of the Salvation Army should resign because of their incompetence.
Leadership out of touch with the impact of their policies are destructive to the mission of the organization.
Maybe they thought that what they were doing was somehow a good idea. But anyone with common sense could see the folly of insulting their base contributors by wrongly implying that they are racist.
Apparently the leaders are foolish and ungodly.
I really feel sorry for all of the recipients of aid who will now get nothing.
I was coming out of the grocery and was approached by a “Bell Ringer” asking for a donation. I looked at her and said, “Y’all went woke, now you can go broke.” She asked “What?” I further explained my stance. She said she hadn’t heard about it. I said, “Ask your boss about it,” and walked away.
IMHO, the SA screwed up BIG TIME when they bought in to this woke bullshit.
They don’t want my white money.
Here’s where you can send your donations instead of to those racist morons: https://freerepublic.com/donate/
Dead to me years ago. Remember a few years ago when the woke cretins heading the Army pulled the fund raiser from Trump properties to appease their overlords at the DNC. They haven’t seen my money since .... I’m sure their betters will chip in to make up the difference.
I was not aware that the Salvation Army was a black organization.
I will develop an annual letter to warn people never to donate to SA again.
I also have a letter I will send to the national headquarters annually.
These people should never be allowed to walk away from that decision.
When a charity goes national, it goes political as well. On Christmas Day here, a young girl is putting on a Christmas Dinner for anyone who is alone or just needs dinner on Christmas Day. It’s her fourth year of doing it
That’s how you do it.
My wife’s family has supported the Salvation Army ever since it started in London in 1865. That 157 year tradition of active and financial support ended this year when we found out this organization had been infiltrated by woke communists.
We will not allow one penny of our money to go to communists.
Not one.
