The Salvation Army recently defended an internal racism guide that discouraged "colorblindness" and encouraged staff members to "apologize for being white" after the guide faced backlash. (snip photo) The Salvation Army argued the new guide was meant to encourage discussion about racism among members of the Salvation Army. The organization denied attempting to indoctrinate or tell its donors what to think, reminding people that the guide was meant for internal use.

Keep digging, Salvation Army. It's shocking the extent of woke in the world. Something will crush it, though.

This household no longer donates to SA.
When I get their mailers, I write in red "Get Woke, Go Broke" and mail it back.
My go-to charity is Tunnels to Towers.

How's are those donations coming along this year you woke commie cowards. Another Christian organization infiltrated and taken over by the communist death democrats who for the most part do not contribute to the Salvation Army. The communist death democrats have also infiltrated and thoroughly turned the Catholic Church into an Anti-Christ organization. Francis the Commie Pope!
Not one damn dime this year SA until you purge yourselves of the evil ones now running your organization. Not one thin dime. Where are the rank and file of the SA?

I saw this from a retired vet: "I am printing up some pre-written notes to keep in my vehicle and plan to stuff one into every SA kettle I see: "I am not a racist - My money will go elsewhere"."

Time to start donating only to local charities...all the National ones are either 'woke' or giving their officers lavish lifestyles and funding Mercedes...

Their defense is undermined by the premise of hierarchy. Their program assumes racism is a one-way street from whites to blacks and attempts to indoctrinate members from this basis.
From the guide: "RACE AS A SOCIAL CONSTRUCT....What has not changed is that racial groups are placed into a hierarchy, with White or lighterskinned people at the top; non-Indigenous People Of Color (POC) subjugated beneath lighter skinned people; Black and Indigenous people at the bottom of the racial system."

Why do they assume a portion of their employees have committed acts that require an apology?

We've donated to the SA for close to 50 years. Never again. These cra p weasels sent us a donation request yesterday. We wrote in red across it, "Drop dead. We will never donate to your RACIST organization again. You can sincerely kiss our rosy Irish bums." And sent it back to them.

This is what is in the training manual. They tried to spin it but it is pure CRT.

Stop denying that White privilege exists
and learn how it supports racial inequity.
You may not feel privileged, but it is likely
that you have been excused from numerous
negative experiences, as well as benefitted
positively simply because of your Whiteness.
Denial of White privilege keeps the current
systems affected by racism in place, and we
must begin to change that

BLM just wants to trade places and be the racial oppressor for awhile. Like, for the rest of time.
The essence of their message is, "Our turn, suckas. Get on yer knees and slobber an apology for us."
Mmmmmmm, naw. GoogleFacebookYoutube.

Here's my response to the fundraising letter:
"Here is your sincere apology:
I am sorry I donated to your organization every Christmas for as long as I can remember. In fact, I often donated and provided hot coffee to your workers when it was cold out.
However, since you now appear to believe that white people are inherently racist and need to apologize to members of your organization and others, I am confident that you would not want my “racist” donation.
Good luck with your collections this year!"
I'm with #2. They'll get extra money from me this year!

O'Sullivan's first law in action.
"O’Sullivan’s First Law: An eternal truth” by John O’Sullivan, published in the National Review on October 27, 1989, stated:
“All organizations that are not actually right-wing will over time become left-wing.”

O’Sullivan’s First Law: All organizations that are not actually right-wing will over time become left-wing. I cite as supporting evidence the ACLU, the Ford Foundation, and the Episcopal Church. The reason is, of course, that people who staff such bodies tend to be the sort who don’t like private profit, business, making money, the current organization of society, and, by extension, the Western world. At which point Michels’s Iron Law of Oligarchy takes over — and the rest follows.

When you mess up, the best thing to do is admit it, apologize, and make it right.
Idiotic backpedaling like this just digs you deeper and deeper.
Like many people, they won't be seeing a penny in their kettles from me this year.

The most blatant racists are democrats and black. They call whites, (and conservative blacks), any racial slur with impunity. Honky, cracker, Karen, whiteboy, never a word of condemnation from the left. I'm an unvaccinated white male boomer, I feel like I'm just days away from being forced to wear a yellow star and put one on my house and place of business.

It now appears that the ''Salvation Army'' quietly gave up their connection to the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ without a fight and with only a nasty remark about white people.

In past years at Christmastime, it was my custom to send a $100 check to Salvation Army. No more. Salvation Army doesn't need my money. Salvation Army can now can survive on checks from BLM thugs.

Earlier today they denied saying it. Now they're defending it. When you tell someone to apologize for their skin color you are a racist P.O.S.

the whole thing is a total cluster f.....although, if it was meant for the public...just how would one go about admitting
we were racist???????..announce it as we put our money in the kettle.????????.or write a note with our check saying we are racist???.
that just makes NO sense...so am inclined to think it was for internal use..at least in the beginning...

A very foolish move. You have lost me and I am sure many others who believe in a colorblind society. No one should ever be judged by the color of their skin. Shame on you.

I used to give big bucks to ‘The Army’. No more. I have a brother who has fallen on hard times. Charity begins at home and all my former SA donations will go to make his life a little more comfortable.

Weasel words. If you ask some people to apologize for being white, you are asking ALL white people to apologize. Your biggest problem is that the country has very few real racists - at least before Obama got into office.

I am amazed that organizations keep doing things like this and are shocked when their customers/donors walk away. It's as if they have a memory wipe every morning.
