You could have done this yourself, you too lazy to use a search engine?

I’ve done that. You still can’t show where the Salvation Army says that
Christianity is inherently racist and that whites should apologize for it.

I DO see how what IS on the site is being twisted to imply that, and
I agree that their initiative smells in several places, like CRT, but not
nearly to the degree these articles would have us believe. Yes, it can even be fairly described as a Wokeness initiative.

Yet no one has proven the central allegations that the position of the Salvation Army is that Christianity is inherently racist and that white
people need to apologize for it.

Because they cannot. Because it isn’t. There are bad apples in the
organization who might wish to make that the position, and the Salvation
Army leadership would be well advised to look into this issue with care,
but I’m not ready to join your Christian Bell Ringer cancelation party, simply because The EneMedia lies about their actual position, and they’ve got a
bit of an infiltration problem to deal with in part of their organization.

Same for your later link.

From the article linked above:

Xu noted that after he spoke to Hodder about his concerns and current petition, the extensive "Let's Talk About Racism" guide (along with its diversity, equity and inclusion trainings) was moved from the first page of The Salvation Army's International Social Justice Commission site to a less visible page. In a November 4 Facebook post by Koukl, he noted it was now listed as a guide on the site's "Resources" page.
I read through the SA International site and believe that not only did they move stuff off the front page; I think they also may have edited the scripts to further remove inflammatory content. I did locate SA's "Let's Talk About Racism" guide on its International site and I read it twice; but there was no mention of Robin DiAngelo's White Fragility and Ibram X. Kendi's How to Be an Antiracist that are cited in your excellent link.
