“”””Consequently, for both reasons, the International Social Justice Commission has now withdrawn the guide for appropriate review.””””
And how many regular donors to the Salvation Army Red Buckets were aware that the Salvation Army had it very own INTERNATIONAL SOCIAL JUSTICE COMMISSION???????
To: Scott from the Left Coast
Scott....a good observation. I agree.

International Social Justice Commission - just going there is reason enough to never support them again.

This was a good response by the Salvation Army. I hope people read it and reconsider.

I detected no sincerity in their answers. Instead they berate the simpletons who will not see it their way.
I’ve given a good chunk of cazh over the years to the SA. It was because I trusted them to spend wisely and minister to the hopeless. I don’t trust them anymore.
A FReeper suggested donating to a local animal shelter instead- it’s a great idea, or give to the downtown soup kitchen. Ours are run by volunteers- feeding homeless daily for decades.
Goodwill followed SA with their own woke announcement. A tsunami of the woke.

I give to a local Lutheran charity, and stopped giving to SA years ago.
Used to give some to the bell ringers, but not anymore. Will it hurt good people? Yes. But stupid should hurt.

DO NOT give to charities.
I have friends who work in the non profit industry. They are ALL very woke.
Give to people. Help out. Do not give to corporations who then blow it on bling and publish documents on how bad it is that you are white, Christian, and don’t sign over all your possessions.
And yes, that includes my own church, the LCMS.

What is this “black bodies” buzzphrase? Do they not possess minds and souls?

Wishy-washy. Unprincipled. Willing to bow the knee to malignant forces. So many big organizations are showing themselves to be little more than pushovers in the face of falsehood. I hope the Salvation Army leadership pays dearly for their lack of fortitude.

In a statement titled “The Salvation Army’s Response to False Claims on the Topic of Racism,” the 156-year-old organization denies that the purpose of the guide [was] meant to tell anyone “how to think.” The very title saying "false claims" is yet another attempt to tell people what to think.
Sounds like the media discussing the stolen election: "unfounded", "baseless", "false", etc.

Read the study guide they didn't get around to deleting yet: https://s3.amazonaws.com/cache.salvationarmy.org/456ab604-ccb8-430e-af65-f75e04f223f5_Racism+Study+Guide.pdf
A couple of highlights:
"It is important to note that the category of ‘race’ has no scientific basis. Genetically and biologically Anglo Saxons, Asians, Africans, Latinos etc. etc. are identical. The idea of different races is a social construction. "
"The problem of racism is pervasive and complex. It is described as prejudice plus power. "
Both of these statements are classic woke propaganda.
The second statement is particularly horrible, since it depends who gets to define "power".
Nowhere in the document do they discuss anti-white racism (such as "Affirmative Action") or acknowledge there can be anti-white racism.
This is an intensely political document disguised as a religious one.

“Wishy-washy. Unprincipled.”
God objects, I think.

What were they thinking?Probably the brainchild of their new "Chief Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer" that they were forced to hire in order to have a boardroom that "Looks like America."
Without any other marketable skills, she comes up with this.

Not smart to insult 99% of your contributors. Especially during contribution season. Go woke, go broke.

It’s a damn shame that a handful of morons in an office somewhere just screwed up a great organization….
That’s what these idiot leftists do… get a toe in the door and then screw it up for everyone
