I guess they are doubling down on woke. Well, screw you SA. There are PLENTY of deserving charities that I'll be donating to.

[rktman]

Yup, sadly, no more for them. #1 charity at our house? Us.

[CatOwner]

There are words, and there are actions. For the latter, there will be reactions. SA must think they will far better with a woke clientele than a non-political one. Good luck with that.

[ml/nj]

That’ll make things better, I’m sure.

*fare better

Now all they need to do is make Jeremiah Wright the head of the organization.

[Billthedrill]

Doubling down as most of us expected. The Woke Cult claims another victim.

[metmom]

Done with them for good.

[brownsfan]

They can do as they wish, they’ll be doing it without my monthly donation.

[Lurker]

At the old Sears Center. I may drop by with a nice sign calling the SA racist. Then I’ll head to Cabela’s right across the street and check out some sporting goods.

“Elements of the recently issued ‘Let’s Talk About Racism’ guide led some to believe we think they should apologize for the color of their skin,..”

It said that explicitly, you dope.

That would make for a good 1st Amendment audit for YouTube.

It sure seems that way. So now not only am I no longer contributing, I think I’m going to ask for a refund.

In all seriousness, the real tragedy here is that the folks who will be hurt the most by this will be the needy folks at the street level. The SA does great work there. It’s a shame the SA leadership cares more about political correctness than about their primary mission.

Yu would think the Salvation Army would understand denial

[TomGuy]

Racial Justice????

Gobbledygook.

[wardaddy]

Racial redress

Yep God sure spent a lot of time on that

Like slavery

And feminism

And queer rights

[NohSpinZone]

I’m sure queer rights are next.

Drag queen bell ringers coming to a location near you!

[upchuck]

The organization has denied that the racism guide has hurt donations.

Of course they have. What else are they gonna do?

IMHO, the SA BOD should take the bull by the horns and fire anyone and everyone who had anything to do with this debacle. And their actions should be broadcast far and wide.

The SA is dead to me now. And, based on my reading, to a lot of other FReepers as well.

Someone needs to tell Gereral Peddle -”Get Woke, Go Broke”
