At first blush, this story seemed too bizarre to be true; alas it is not. [h/t Gateway Pundit] As noted by Jim Hoft at Gateway Pundit, a few weeks ago the Salvation Army stepped into the social justice arena and began promoting the premise of white guilt.
According to an “internal study guide” from the charitable organization intended to “foster positive conversations and grace-filled reflection among Salvationists“, the white members and donors to the Salvation Army were requested to reflect on their inherent racism. According to the Salvation Army’s “International Social Justice Commission“, this was presumably of some charitable value.
Obviously, this request stirred up some controversy. In an era where the toxic issues around Critical Race Theory being taught in schools has been in the headlines, there is likely not a worse time for a charitable group to join the social justice cause and push CRT toward the aggregate public.
Many people were surprised by the decision of the Salvation Army to push the divisive issue of racism in what appeared to be an effort by the organization to enter the orbit of wokeism.
Quite frankly, I cannot reference a more ridiculous organizational decision than this example in recent memory. However, that said, while the original decision was nuts, the effort to clean up the mess they created for themselves is exponentially more nuts. Amid the backlash, the Salvation Army released the following statement:
[LINK]
The first thought of ‘what were they thinking‘, becomes compounded by realizing the Salvation Army is a partner with something called the “International Social Justice Commission.” I mean, seriously, what the heck is this all about?
Mistake one might be taking the intent of a historic organization away from charitable giving and into the toxic and divisive world of racial politics. Mistake number two is doubling down on the decision to engage with race in some ill-fated effort to establish politically correct bona fides.
If you wanted to completely destroy the guiding mission of a charity, the Salvation Army is showing everyone exactly how to do it.
I’m not sure what qualifications or prisms others use, but myself, as a donor, I want to see my money used by a charity in such a way as to care for people who are in the most need – and that has absolutely nothing to do with race or any other qualification. I am literally stunned by the intent of the Salvation Army in this mess, and their cleanup effort is even worse.
This is one of the biggest disappointments of the year, and yet, again shows that organizations can lose their entire purpose by following leadership making stupid decisions.
Jim Hoft follows up the issue with a highlight showing the Salvation Army is in a crisis now, because people are not giving to the charity at the time of year when the Christmas Season Salvation Army kettles usually raise a lot of money.
(Fox-13) […] Not only is the nonprofit organization short on donations, they also are in desperate need of bell ringers to staff the red kettles seen at businesses around the country. (read more)
Well, DUH! What exactly did The Salvation Army expect to happen?
Seems they expected people to apologize for something they have no control over.
Forgetting, that said people still retain control over their own money.
Oopsie!
If I could control my race, why would I want to change it from white?
Well, other than to get all the massive privilege points of “affirmative action” I suppose.
Grad school admissions.
Exactly
Try asking a black person who blames whiteness about whether or not blackness should be considered to be a problem given all of the crime?
Assuming that the “something” they have no control over merits any blame in the first place.
Well, we did “steal the world away from every living creature on the planet” apparently.
Yeah. When did that ever matter to the woke joke?
Ah well, I am obviously too white to donate! I’ll just gift cookies and cakes to the old folk home instead.
When Joan Kroc left all that money to the Salvation Army, I wondered at the time if that would possibly lead to a change of course, all that money sitting there binging in all the “social justice warriors” to help the Salvation Army spend all that largesse (“Christian charity” being chopped liver)?
The Salvation Army WAS a magnificent organization, IMHO – with people who actually attested to being saved and changing the course of their lives – having met a few who worked as drivers when they came to pick up furniture that the law firm I was working for was giving to them one Saturday when I went in to be there to let them in – they really had the light of Christ and witnessed to me, just very briefly – but that was way back in 1991.
Would that be Ray Kroc’s wife? The Ray Kroc of McDonalds fame?
If so 1 might want to listen to ” Boom like that” H/T , Mark Knopfler.
Agreed!
This story terrifies me because I had the Salvation Army on a short list of possible charities to receive the bulk of my wealth after I pass on.
The kids were gradually being supplanted by my alma mater, which has shown itself to be unworthy, then charities like this that have shown themselves to be unworthy.
Where to give?
I won’t be here to vet them, and the good ones are dropping like flies.
Your local VFW or a gun club.
Maybe you can say “F— Joe Biden ” or “take Ivermectin not the Clot Shot” or ” you can’t trust the government” in your VFW? I sure can’t in mine.
Talked to a lot of Vets in mine who have taken 2 Jabs and got sick and are clamoring for the booster. It’s insane some even went to the VA they got so sick.
Hope yours is better than mine and I live in strong hold Fl., Merry Christmas!!
Some of us are picking up trash this Saturday from 9 till noon on the 41 in front of the post, want to volunteer?
How about helping the volunteer firemen purchase new equipment? Or help an animal shelter provide for basic necessities?
I would keep it local. The churches have lists of local families in need. Our high school gives out annual awards from community members to students for certain achievements.
For example, you could leave an endowment fund to help students who go to college for certain programs, like electricians or plumbers.
Be creative. You can reward those who bring certain skills and talents to the community that you find worthy of support.
Consider dispersing your estate before you pass away.
We downsized our donations to large charities and give locally.
Sometimes those who need it or will benefit most, live right in your backyard.
The Catherine Austin Fitts method of giving. Good for you.
This site has helped bring the truth to America and the world, you just might want to throw a little to

When I saw their accusation a few weeks back about how I should atone for my Caucasianess, I made a mental note that I was taking them off my charity list.
I often think I’m alone when I make my displeasure known via my check book. In this instance, I clearly am not a maverick.
No maverick.
Vast majority.
We have not given the SA a lot of money, but we have backed up to the door with literal truck loads of stuff when we were cleaning out and upgrading. They sell that stuff in the store for cash and so the needy can get OK used stuff cheap. We decided to back up to other doors in the future. We found a local church that just gives the stuff away. Works for me.
The other day I passed a Salvation Army kettle person as I was exiting SAMS CLUB.
As I passed him, I said:
“Since your company actually printed that i am a racist, you can forget ever getting any money from me. Period.”
The guy just looked at me, and then shrugged his shoulders.
Get woke Go broke….Let’s go brandon!
.
Yep.
Since the kettle I usually dropped money into was in front of my local Kroger store, they all just got a two for one special . . .
Good!
With hostility, call only your white donors racist, then act surprised that they don’t want to walk the charitable road with you…insanity.
I asked the bell ringer at our grocery store if things were hard this year and he said yes – that the “powers that be” said it’s just a misunderstanding.
I call it a cancer to a once great organization.
First time in my adult life I have not contributed to SA. For years I have suggested to all I know to support SA. They are usually early on the scene, salaries low, good people. Than new leadership bewakes a good charity and they chastise my whiteness which has NEVER in a long life slighted any non-white in any way. Quite the opposite really for I entered adult life during the era when equal opportunity
a mind virus . .
Proving ONCE AGAIN the truth of the adage: “Anything progressives touch, they destroy”.
And they salt the earth after.
And remember…………..it’s a feature, not a flaw.
Sounds like they didn’t take the time to find out just exactly who their donors have been all these years.
A misunderstanding? Nope. I read, and understood perfectly what was in their “training” literature.
Their decision to embrace the lunatic premise of “White Guilt” was right up there for me with hearing from Franklin Graham’s own lips that Jesus would want us take the “vax”.
Both have shattered my feelings about them and their missions. I, too, used to give. But I have only so much I can donate so I choose others to help. Local charities that usually end up on the bottom now get my contributions.
So Franklin Graham thinks that Jesus wants people to be the property of the state.
I hadn’t heard that before.
https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/article250748454.html
Pay wall unfortunately. But for one brief moment I saw the headline in full. It is as I stated. Thank you 47Yinzer.
Yes. His Samaritan’s Purse is apparently aiding and abetting the provision of jab sites as well. I read the headline on a reliable site and was so appalled I scrolled quickly by.
And for those who think donating to Make a Wish Foundation is a good idea, please remember they just denied a 4 year old’s wish because he wasn’t “vaxed”. Another once wonderful organization turned into a hideously cruel Grinch.
“I tell you, whenever you refused to help one of these least important ones, you refused to help me.”
(Matthew 25:45 TEV)
Oh yes! Who ever knows when we ourselves might be in such a situation. We are all His children, no matter our circumstances.
Father Barry stands up to the waterfront mob in one of the greatest Hollywood scenes ever put on film. “THIS is my church!”
Elia Kazan’s “On the Waterfront” was aimed at Hollywood’s (The Mob) leaning on patriotic citizens (Dockworkers) to NOT help the US Government in their quest to weed out Communists from using Hollywood to spread socialist and Communist doctrine. The Soviet Union was the darling of Hollywood in the 30s and 40s.
This is why Barbra Streisand and Nick Nolte stood up and faced the back of the room, on network TV, when Elia Kazan was presented with a lifetime achievement award at the Oscars.
that is truly bizarre if they held it against a little four-year old tyke because he wasn’t vaxxed – I thought “Make a Wish” was for little kids afflicted with terminal cancer, so that’s just bizarre and cruel.
That’s why I stopped giving to Samaritan’s Purse. I still give to Operation Homefront and based on someone’s posting here, looking to give to MercyChefs. That one looks very promising.
Yes, MercyChefs looks like a very good organization from what I’ve read. I’m sure they’d be grateful for the support, given the level of inflation on every front, but particularly food.
The Salvation Army’s “New Woke Bible” is straightening out much of what I didn’t understand in Holy Scripture.
First of all, Our Lord said, “Vaccinate what is Caesar’s ….”
Agree Betsy I used to give to the Billy Graham organization – but it’s not Billy Graham anymore, is it? Something went wrong in the gene transfer from Billy to Franklin.
It did, Joan. And it grieves me. And stuns me in equal measure.
Graham is already reaping the consequences.
I kinda feel bad for him.
Vaxx-Pushing Pastor Franklin Graham Developed Pericarditis After Getting Jabbed – Freedom First Network
The timing of his pericarditis, which he has been fighting “in recent months,” aligns with him getting jabbed earlier this year. Most of the reports of heart problems due to the vaccines show they start occurring within days, but there are indications the lasting effect of the vaccines also weakens the heart over time. Hospitals across the country and around the world are being flooded with people experiencing problems with their hearts and lungs, a phenomenon that seems unambiguously tied to the masses getting jabbed.
As a fellow human I do as well. Will he make the connection? Somehow I doubt it.
Well if they accept donations from “racists”, or allow “racists” to ring the bell, won’t the Salvation Army then be racists as well? Maybe they can just work with all the non-racist donations and volunteers now.
In lieu of giving cash, it appears many people are instead dropping notes into the kettles telling the SA where to shove the wokism.
Well, all of the current denominations of legal U.S. paper currency are printed with portraits of white men. Assuming SA doesn’t want any part of that, I have nothing with portraits of non-white men on them that is legal tender.
What a muddled way to say “we were wrong.”
Well I don’t think they really said they were wrong. Read the last paragraph of their letter. To me it seems like they somehow think they are the victim out of all this mess. That’s just my take on it anyways.
They do not think they were wrong to hold those views. They realized they were wrong to let it be known by the public.
I have not donated and I usually do. That being said, I can’t understand how these organizations do not understand that they are promoting racism. Flat out.
My only conclusion is that they know, are doing it on purpose and they clearly do not need my money for that.
Whoever is at the top of the food chain at Salvation Army who made this blunder should show their face so they can be publicly shamed.
I won’t be dropping folded dollars into their donation pot anymore.
Yep…totally ruined that spirit of giving to them for me…and I was prolific with the bills into the kettle thing…
We all know what they were thinkung…and they thought they’d hedge their bets…
The House won….a little ironic since Trump owned casinos…
Winning😄
Fully agree. I donated to them a used Toyota Camry that I had bought new and after 12 years and 110k miles. I always told my son that how can one not give a few $s in the kettle to a person standing in cold outside, and when he was young, always handed him $s by the stores and made him put the $s in the kettle, both going in and also out of the store. This year, as our son is visiting home from college, he saw that I simply passed by the person holding the kettle and no $s, my son was very surprised. When inside the store, I told him, they went woke and therefore will go broke. And……..we are not even white, well according to BLM, because we engineers and scientists and medicos study hard and consider hard and smart work as core values, I guess we are white….
P.S. if someone is offended by my last sentence, sorry, it was meant to be tongue and cheek. I went through this while helping my son as he was applying to many colleges and told him to ignore Ivy leagues (with the exception of Cornell which does have a decent engineering school, glad that he was accepted and chose to go to a far more nerdy school requiring most rigorous work and no partying 🙂 )
I am dropping folded notes, saying why, in short terms, why I am not donating. Keep a pocket full while shopping.
I think they’re headquartered in Alexandria, VA. Who knew we were donating so they could write papers.
What is ‘White Culture’?
It is inventions, innovations and discoveries and almost all of them.
It is what has made the 21st century the 21st century that it is rather than something like thousands of years ago.
I use “Western Culture,” which encompasses ancient Greek & Roman as well as Judeo-Christian. Culture is learned, not tied to one’s ethnicity.
YouTube…Pastor Manning….Africa never built nothin’
I’d like the Salvation Army to apologize for the state of the inner cities in America – for the crime, violence, despair, etc, etc.
I’m waiting.
I don’t see how they come back from this.
Maybe that’s the key – destroy the best of all the mechanisms for peer to peer charitable support.
I put nothing past the cabal.
They’ve spent 2 years observing the impact on other organizations that follow this insane path.
I guess they’ll blame the pandemic, right?
Whenever an organization, and it happens so often, acts in some insanely marxist way, I go to their website and read about the leadership team. I invariably find that the entire structure is infested with people who have been raised in the wokest urban areas, attended the most lefty universities and often have no connection to the US or American values.
The Salvation Army leadership sadly checks all of those boxes.
Only a complete extermination of the insect infestation will be bring positive change to such organizations.
A company website that contains countless mentions of social justice is peopled by employees who do not know how poisonous that term strikes anyone outside their tiny bubbles.
Yes! They seem oblivious!
‘A company website that contains countless mentions of social justice is peopled by employees who do not know how poisonous that term strikes anyone outside their tiny bubbles.”
Well said!
I looked at the Salvation Army website yesterday and was confirmed in the opinion that the organization is controlled by woke leftists. They have not apologized to me, nor have they cleansed their website of the political nonsense. Is it too much to ask that politics be left out of the Salvation Army? I cannot give until they apologize to me and change their political nature, cleansing their website of woke bs.
In front of our local stores there has always been a Sally Army collector at Xmas…… I for my part always put a dollar or two in when passing any of the stores and regardless of how many times.
I am now 65 yrs young and have been contributing for all my adult life till I read that woke article a while back…….. and if any of you Sally Army guys are reading….I will never contribute a single dime till the day I die…..
You want woke…you will go broke!
Jesus did not discriminate on the basis of race, it is too bad the Salvation Army does. Why is the Salvation Army pretending to be a Christian Organization?
Just HOW are they a Christian organization if they are not aware that “gospel” is capitalized? Last paragraph and first line. They are referring to Holy Gospel and not gospel in a generic sense. Sorry, but this is akin to claiming you are a great father and you don’t know your kid’s name. Sometimes, little things mean a lot.
Thanks Boogywstew. You are eagle eyed. I went back and reread the SA letter. The “Gospel” is not capitalized. These people are pretenders. It is very sad.
60 and right with you, for me it was always the largest bill in my wallet. No more.
As somebody said:
I looked at my money, and saw only pictures of white men.
So my money with ‘only white men’ on it, won’t be going to the Salvation Army.
I will forgive when I see people fired for this decision of the Salvation Army to demonize (that’s what it is) whites.
How much of past donations have gone into Salvation Army membership fees to this International Social Justice Commission? We can sure the ISJC isn’t doing what they do for free.
My 17-year old daughter was doing some bell ringing for the Salvation Army to get her hours in for the National Honor Society.
I told her to find a different charity to support.
What a bunch of dum-basses……
The Salvation Army saw a surge in donations a few years ago when Dallas Cowboys running back, Ezekiel Elliott, jumped into a life-size Salvation Army kettle after a scoring a touchdown. The NFL and Dallas Cowboys continue to partner with the Salvation Army. It looks like the Salvation Army has lost their way, just as the NFL and Dallas Cowboys have lost their way.
My daughter told her friends that I watch football like a man. And I did as well. Back then. I really thought if there was any team that would stand against what they’ve all turned into it would be the Cowboys. I used to work in the building where they were headquartered back in ’72 in an office next to the room where they held press conferences and would go listen to each one. I became friends with Ernie Stautner, a big ole teddy bear of a guy. They had my loyalty then.
The minute Jerry Jones knee hit the turf, I turned them off as well. No more…and I do not miss it one single whit.
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/12/15/nolte-woke-salvation-army-struggles-for-donations-volunteers/
I wonder if they can get some other races who are racists to replace the donations of the white people who are constantly accused of being racists, but who actually never thought about race when they were giving the money they had earned to the people at the SA who now think all they are all racists.
From the Breitbart Article: “You just tainted your entire organization to appease about one percent of the population, and that one percent will hate Christians no matter what they do.”
You can’t fix stupid!
Since conservatives are the ones who donate to charity and “liberals” are generally stingy and selfish, this was bound to end in disaster for “The Salivation Army” (H/T Archie Bunker).
I always thought that the one Christian charity I could count on to not become tainted by our secularist culture was The Salvation Army! I never thought they would go the way of the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts or the YMCA. Was I ever wrong! I donated to them on a regular basis but not anymore. Today was the first time I walked past Salvation Army red kettle without making a donation. There are too many other non “woke” Christian charities that I can support. They have lost me forever! I’m not a racist and I don’t need The Salvation Army to tell me I’m inherently a racist needing to reflect on and talk about racism! No thanks!
This statement right here is the key one if you want to understand how Critical Race Theory is implemented in the schools:
“The Salvation Army occasionally publishes internal study guides on various complex topics to help foster positive conversations and grace-filled reflection among Salvationists. By openly discussing these issues, we always hope to encourage the development of a more thoughtful organization that is better positioned to support those in need. But no one is being told how to think. Period.”
What the schools will tell you is that they only teach concepts to “help foster positive conversations” and a “discussion of ideas”. They’ll add that they’re only teaching a “more comprehensive view of history” to “better support” the education of children. The ideas are “complex” – meaning you’re stupid for not understanding the nuance here. Just like “equity”, when you see the word “complex” in the context of social issues/history, your radar should go up. The schools then claim that “No one is being told how to think. Period.” which is a flat-out lie. The kids ARE being told how to think because the ideas being discussed are formulated to establish “right thinkers” vs. “wrong thinkers”.
This statement by The Salvation Army is the classic CRT baked-in defense. “Oh we were just providing information. We didn’t mean anything by it! It was just one of many complex ideas shared!”
Yeah, they shared deeply divisive, anti-American, anti-white, “ideas”…and are now angry that a) they got caught, and b) people aren’t buying their b.s. lies. They then BLAME OTHERS for “misinterpreting” what they were doing. Nobody misinterpreted them at all…that’s the POINT.
A central goal of any conservative should be to find, isolate, destroy, and remove any organization in Government or the private sector that has as its title or mission the words “Social Justice” or any related phrase.
“Sustainability” is another globalist catch-phrase that translates to: We will use any excuse to exfiltrate wealth from unsuspecting Americans.
I am also wary of “saving” snow leopards and TV commercials that feature starving animals and violins.
Duckbill Platypus . . . I keep waiting to see if that will make a comeback.
Maybe they can get that super-soccer-star, Megan Rapinoe, to do P.R. for them during these challenging times……
Yeah! Get the Volleyball Twat to do ads for you! Perfect!
Yup. And here in Canada the SallyAnn just mandated the covid vax for all of their employees. I will be giving elsewhere. Samaritan’s Purse has great references..
Don’t overlook your own hometown food pantries, clothing missions, and similar outreach efforts. Money spent around home is money well-spent.
Nope..Graham is a vaxx sellout, and is a fraud. IMO.
I don’t donate to RACISTS……
I encountered a bell-ringer yesterday at a local business here in east Texas. I thanked her for what she was doing but said I don’t give to the SA anymore because of their politics. Her face hardened and she informed me that she does not get into politics. I just walked away.
Too bad the organization she donates her time to is hip dip in politics.
Deep not dip. Sheeess.
I actually thought ‘hip dip in politics’ was appropriate word usage in this case. Besides, ‘hip dip’ has a rather nice ring to it!
yes, I thought that was good, too! hip dip!
Good for you. She might not get into politics but she does support THEIR politics by standing there ringing the bell.
Yes, and not just supports them, she represents them by volunteering for them.
Woke organizations never bother to ask who are their main sources of revenue.
Hollywood doesn’t care that its woke movies bomb. Professional sports doesn’t care that their TV viewership and stadium attendance has cratered. The MSM doesn’t care that its ratings are toilet level.
The board of directors and senior management are multi generational products of the Woke universities and peer approval is all that counts. I don’t even think Black Rifle Coffee has ever apologized.
Its the economic equivalent of taking the vaxx as a show of political conformity. Regardless of consequence.
“We have done our best to provide accurate information, but unfortunately, some have chosen to ignore our efforts.”
Translation: It’s your fault if you still object to our intention to inject divisive and racist policies into our organization. We have tried to spin it as best as we can, but you stubborn Deplorables just won’t get with the program.”
I suspect there are more threads here to be followed. The Salvation Army does not exist in a vaccuum. It works with, and may now require the cooperation of, big globalist corporations to perform its mission. My hunch is if one were able to follow CRT’s chain of infection it would lead from the Salvation Army back to a big “corporate partner” such as Wal-Mart, Target, the NFL, etc.
I’d also like to point out the author conflates “disagreement” with “attack,” yet another symptom of an organization infected with the worldview of contemporary leftists.
I just learned that Idaho Power is a sponsor of and donor to many of the SA events. Can’t do much about Idaho Power, but I can kick SA to the curb.
Just mailed an unsolicited SA donation letter back to them, sans check, and wrote over their letter text in black sharpie marker: I am PROUD of my European heritage and “Caucasian-ness”– I will NEVER apologize for either. If I’m not good enough for you, you certainly are NOT good enough for my “white” money. YOU are the racist, not me.”
That response is excellent.
“If you understood, you’d agree with me! The problem is … YOU don’t understand!”
Giving will continue but not to this organization. I read their material a week ago about white privilege, it was complete with appalling, offensive lies.
Not one dime. Wokeness is becoming common in Christian organizations. Every seminary pushes CRT, so expect the next generation of pastors at supposed right-leaning churches to push wokeness.
I don’t bother with church anymore. Too many liberal skanks preaching the word of God out of one side of their mouths and preaching HATE out of the other…no thanks.
Find a new church. I found my church home in an American Orthodox church.
Tough to find a good one in the area I live..
CRT, plus tacit support (if not an outright embrace) of homosexuality. That’s what removed Calvin University from my list of recipients of my white cisgendered greenbacks.
The present generation is bad enough ….
Notre Dame gave “Mr Abortion” Barack Obama an honorary degree.
…with a tarp covering the statue of Jesus in the background.
You just cannot fix *stupid*…. but yet they (S/A) tried… LOL
Bells with short handles were used to summon the help, therefore they are racist. (sarc)
I can only imagine a returning volunteer, who stands outside in the weather for long hours every holiday season manning a kettle and ringing the bell, turning around and walking out when briefed on this scheme.
I can also imagine people, money in hand ready to drop it, putting it back into their purses and pocket upon being informed that they are racists who need to “do better.”
Check my privilege, indeed.
This really dismayed me, as The Salvation Army was one of the last reputable organizations that I continued to donate to. But I also walked past their bell ringers this year.
Enough is enough. White people are good and decent and charitable. Our lives matter just like anyone else’s. We don’t need this race theory crap.
I have found that local giving always works best anyhow. I know of local families in need, and I make every effort to help them out. There’s that grandma struggling to raise her grandkids.. Not to mention children who have straggled in and out of our home from time to time.
It’s all good. We don’t need the Salvation Army to look after each other.
I used to drop in money in the red kettle, no more. D O N E, I agree with Sundance, I want my money to go to those who truly need and appreciate help. Not woke lunatics.
Our household has donated to the SA for decades. No more. Here’s the text of the letter we sent them, attached to their Christmas solicitation letter. Feel free to copy it and use it yourself if you like it.

Norcross, GA 30003-1298
8 December 2021
Dear Folks,
Apparently my green is too white for your tastes. It is truly a thing of sorrow to see a once-great ministry overtaken by wokeness. I hope you can find ways to explain to the needy whom you help, why there is less – a lot less – in the red kettles this year.
I suggest you read 1 Corinthians 4:1 – 5.
Please remove my name from your mailing lists. We will use the funds formerly dedicated to the Salvation Army, to increase our gifts to Samaritan’s Purse and Voice of the Martyrs. Neither of those fine Christian agencies has the temerity or the arrogance to prejudge their donors’ hearts.
Regards, (CTH Treeper)
BEAUTIFUL! Salvation Army sowed the wind, and now they can reap the whirlwind.
Next thing you know, they’ll probably require bell ringers to be vaxxed.
I skimmed the backpedaling. Never have thought much of this organization and prefer Samaritan’s purse. I am a bit confused. They throw around words like ‘power of the gospel’ and Jesus Christ in the same breath. So when exactly did Christianity pronounce my skin color as some sort of curse? A cursed I should be ashamed of. Is that scripture?
Sorry, Franklin Graham and his “Jesus would want you to take the shot” and Samaritan’s Purse requiring their volunteers to be vaxed, wearing masks, etc was enough for them to lose me. Sick of the faux Christians.
Thanks. I gave once some years back during some hurricane or something. Didn’t do it again and now I am glad. I agree with having had enough of fake Christians. Even a close christian friend told me there are very few real Christians in his church pews.
I am volunteering for SP in Bowling Green, Kentucky for tornado cleanup. They do not require vaccination and they only require masks when working in close proximity to the home owner. Those staying overnight have to do the Covid stuff required by the state of Kentucky which includes masks and distancing. Day volunteers do not.
This happens when what the Gospel of Jesus Christ actually is, has been polluted, forgotten….
Every organization that isn’t explicitly conservative ends up being leftist.
That’s a famous quote, but it’s not so famous that I remember where it came from.
Trump was right again.
Everything woke turns to shit.
I wrote back to my woke catholic university (alumnae) , on their donation request form, telling them they ought to rethink their ‘progress’, of which they seem so proud.
Told them, “not one penny”.
And additional proof of the theorem that Marxists/Socialists/Progressives literally turn every organization that they touch into shit, RE: the NFL, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, most major corporations, all of the Drive Bye Fakenews Propaganda Media, most colleges and universities, and the list goes on….
I’ve made the decision to keep my weekly ‘White Privilege’ check all to myself.
They need to immediately terminate the top 20 management people within the organization without severance to signal their change of direction away from woke. Anything less will just be bull shit. Apology letter by new leadership. Otherwise, they will be gone in a year or so
yes!
and also dissolve the Social Justice Blah Blah Blah Department
I do not believe for a second that most white folks are racist. My parents who had been born in the late 30s, did have a poor opinion of people from different ethnic backgrounds, yet that attitude harbored itself in the working environment of the era. Both sets of my grandparents immigrated legally from Europe and never once was a foul word ever spoken about people who had a different ethnicity, and I can proudly say the same for my children, who are both well established in the workforce.
The press fuel this fire 🔥 daily, and the liberal Uniparty continues to push the racist issue. Do not fall for this crap as it is nothing more then a basic form of control. Keep your citizens fighting each other, and they will be much easier to control, and manage. Nothing but a huge distraction at the cost of African Americans. How sad! 😞
I don’t blame African Americans for any of this garbage. I blame the jerks who run the Salvation Army.
