The Salvation Army got woke
And then they went broke
Sorry, but withdrawing is not enough. They need to repudiate it and those who drafted it. They need to abolish the “International Social Justice Commission.” They need to acknowledge and repent for the racist hate that was spewed by this “guide.” Only then will I reconsider donating to them again.
Somebody with a brain didn’t review that before release.
Too darn late. Those funds already committed elsewhere.
Some ‘ringers’ have been known to line their own pocket a tiny bit.
The harm has been done. They will no longer get any kind of support from me.
The looting of the country continues.
Which is why, before 2017, I’d put a check in the kettle. That pull-out from Mar a Largo was the end for me.
"In lieu of a donation, I offer my apology for the crime of being born white."
“I wouldn’t want you to soil your purity with the evil money of white people”.
Read carefully.....the organization's statement is just a duplicitous word-salad COVER-UP for its gall to tell us what to THINK in its guide.
What does a "guide" do on a mountain hike?...he shows the correct path, right?
You, the Salvation Army, issued a "GUIDE", right? To show us the correct path on the race issue, right?
You, the Salvation Army can go take a perpetual hike from now on, as far as I'm concerned.

no way jose!!!!
When you care more about my “wrong” skin color than my dollars, you don’t get any. I was born this way.
Just as easy to start the payee ID with an S and add a T followed by Jude Hospital as I just did.
My regular contributions has come to a resounding stop.
true and “those folks” receive the most help.
Let THEM put some skin in the game and donate.
Dear SA et. al.“All have sinned and come short of the glory of God.”I’m confident that I wouldn’t have felt comfortable with absolutely everyone in my family tree.But to ask me to assert that my race is a problem, is to demand that I smear every man and woman in my ancestral tree.
Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy dayes may bee long vpon the land, which the Lord thy God giueth thee. - King James Version (1611), Exodus 20:12Thank you, but no thanks.
The SA can screw off. I’m done with them.
As a white someone who volunteered Holidays cooking turkeys, sides, pies, and serving them up at the SA shelter. As someone who dropped off at their shelter healthy cases of fresh vegetables from a truck farm owned by whites. As someone who bought gifts for a child on the SA Angel Tree, has donated to their thrift shop, and put many a bill in their red kettles... The Salvation Army can kiss my assumedly racist white support goodbye.
