Well. As they say....”go woke, go broke”. Take that bell and shove it up your wazoo.

“Let’s Talk About Race”?! Why? That topic alone nurtures racism.

Apparently, they are trying to play it off like it was nothing but you can decide for yourself - below is a link to that document and a few CHOICE excerpts where white people need to be ashamed and apologize for the sin of being white.

I will NEVER again donate money or household goods to the SA. They are dead to me. THIS is what they think of YOU:

“Whiteness and the normalization of White racial identity throughout America’s history have created a culture where non-White persons are seen as inferior or abnormal.”

“It is historic and modern legislating, societal conditioning and systematic institutionalizing of the construction
of Whiteness as inherently superior to people of other races.”

“Take a personal inventory on race and discuss it with a friend. If you engage a trusted Black or Brown friend, please make sure they have the emotional and mental capacity to handle this.”

And, to add to this - how long did it take for them to come up with this? Certainly not overnight.

This crap has a lot of money and time behind it, sprinkled with Bible verses, telling us to pray over this.

This looks like it was years in the making. So, all this time while they were taking our money and donations, spitting in our faces, smiling while they planned this sh!t, acting like they are a Christian organization when they are a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

...so not only do I need to apologize for being white but I also need to do a psychological profile to be sure it doesn’t hurt their feelings that I apologize for being white. Got it

I didn’t wait for the kettle, I was a monthly donor. Was. No more.

all people are made in the image of God and are equal in value to God.

Not necessarily equal in intellect or capability.

1) Graduate high school. 2) Work full time. 3) Marry before you have children.

Sounds a bit racist to me.

“Whatever the stated intentions of Black Lives Matter may be...”

Simple. BLM’s goal is to extort corporations and governments out of tons of money so their leaders can get rich.

This would be an incredibly bad move, considering folks on the right are more likely to donate money and goods than those on the left…

For them to mention that a certain person’s ‘emotional and mental’ capacity needs to be considered solely based on their race, isn’t that racism?

As Dennis Prager says many times: “The LEFT never builds anything, the LEFT only destroys things”.

It appears the LEFT has succeeded in destroying a long appreciated institution.

So if the Salvation Army becomes extinct because of the LEFT, will the work the SA was doing be taken over by some GOVERNMNET BUREAUCRATS???????

Yeah, good time to release it Salvation Army - right before your massive fund raising season before Christmas.

I was with an elderly friend yesterday who said he’s “never passed a Salvation Army pot without throwing money in” - never again, he said.

And, I’m seeing a lot of this same sentiment all over the comments sections on the Internet, no donating ever again - and perhaps tossing a note in the pot instead as to WHY there will be no donation ever again.

They will never again get a penny of my money.

Communists realized that it is more effective to take over a society by infiltrating from the top rather than the bottom.

Salvation Army asks ‘White Americans’ to ‘stop trying to be ‘colorblind.’

Guess they don't need any of my racist White money.

They also note, “The only race is the human one;” and they add, “Followers of Jesus Christ now find essential unity in Him, rather than in culture and ethnicity. Such a way of thinking and relating is a powerful force for good. It embodies the ministry of reconciliation.”

Nice try at attempting to dig the Salvation Army out of the ditch they drove themselves into. The pulled study guide preached the latest so-called “anti-racism” B.S. such as it is wrong to be color blind.
