It's part of a push by the Christian charitable organization to embrace the ideas of Black Lives Matter, an activist group working to, among other things, "dismantle white privilege" and "disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure."

I've always been pretty generous with the Salvation Army both in labor and donations. That shit just went out the window.
They do a lot of good not only in their home communities but also in disaster areas, but I'm not going to apologize to anybody for being White, nor am I going to support anybody that asks that I do so.
Yeah, that is going to work reeeaaalll well.
ReplyDeleteFirst tell me that I am a racist and then demand more of my hard earned money.
Fuck you.....

To quote Peewee Hweman...."I'm sorry....I'm so sorry.....I'm sorry and he's sorry, she's sorry.....we're all sorry.......I'M NOT SORRY....HAHAHAHAHA"....
DeleteI actually can't wait to tell every bell ringer I see that I'm way too white to be giving them my money.
ReplyDeleteI would like to print up a short summary of this to hand to the bell ringers as I don't contribute anymore
ReplyDeleteI apologize for sending all that white money, and promise not to do it any more. Done here we are.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they would get the message that they blew it if everyone dropped in a lump of coal.
ReplyDeleteThe SA was always my go to charity during the holidays. I use to take turkeys to them on Thanksgiving and provide cash donations as well.
ReplyDeleteThe Salvation "Woke" Army just shit in their mess kit and I will not be supporting them ever again until they apologize to all their White donors for their racist CRT virtue signaling bullshit.
Well, the heads on post thing is a nice apology too.
DeleteThey can kiss my white ass ...
ReplyDeleteFor what it's worth, the SA is denying it. They say these are "outrageous claims that we believe our donors should apologize for their own racism, that The Salvation Army believes America is an inherently racist society..."

Regardless of what they did in the past, hob-knobbing with those that promote tyranny demands removing any funds. They'll notice a substantial drop in donations this year.
ReplyDeleteI guess this year when they send their request for funds, I will write a note of rejection of my White Privilege instead of a check!
ReplyDeleteAll of these who demand handouts do not appreciate how hard the average working stiff has to work to make ends meet . To hold out one hand begging and flip me off with the other does not make me feel all that charitable . If I am supposed to give an apology because of my races misdeeds will other ethnic groups also have to confess their collective sins and misdeeds? Ah well , I used to toss some cash in those red kettles in the spitit of the Holidays , not anymore.
ReplyDeleteThey will learn the hard way that the only color that matters is green, the color of money. And that when you go all woke on the skin color of the majority of your donors, those donations will plummet.
ReplyDeleteThis is unbelievable! I will not comply! No donations for them to give to the shakedown grifters at blm.
ReplyDeleteThe Salvation Army has put out a denial and says that the recent articles about having to apologize for being racist are malarkey.

Probably best to hear from the horse's mouth before going off half cocked. And to be sure, I also believed the recent hype.
Three members of my e-mail gripe group said they intend to send very properly worded letters apologizing for their being successful enough to be ABLE to contribute in lieu of the checks.
ReplyDeleteI've always made sure that I have a dollar or two in my wallet when I went to the local grocery store this time of year, just so I could drop it in the kettle, no matter how many trips I made to the store up to Christmas Day. This year, they won't be seeing a fucking penny from me or my family. Fuck them and the whores they're riding. Let's see them bleed to death, as they try to make up the shortfall from all of us evil, racist bastards, who have bankrolled their operation over the decades.
ReplyDeleteMy Season's Greetings to Salvation Army this year: "Kiss my lily white ass and go fuck yourselves with a rusty chainsaw, you sanctimonious fuckmonkeys."
And you can quote me on that.
The Salvation Army has really screwed the pooch with this. In part this likely represents the liberal bubble of the elites, but there may be other factors at play.
ReplyDeleteIn one older study, Conservatives made, on average, 6% less than liberals, but gave 30% more to charity. You see this commonly with politicians -- liberal politicians are notorious for low non-political charity giving (e.g. the Clintons giving to the Clinton Foundation doesn't count).
Some charities rely on individual or small group donations -- Samaritan's Purse is a good example. Others rely on large organizational or philanthropic donations (e.g. Ford Foundation). The former must show the values of the small donor., which tend to be conservative. The latter must show the values of the large organizational donors, which are overwhelmingly liberal.
It may be that the Salvation Army has made that transition from former to latter, so it doesn't need the small donor any more. It brings in around 4 billion dollars a year, so it may have decided it can dispense with the guy who gives 20 dollars every now and then and focus on pleasing it's big corporate donors - -Google, the NFL, Toyota, Walmart, Lilly Endowment, ATT, Ford, etc. You can see a listing of the $1 million plus donors on the Salvation Army website.
I suspect the Salvation Army doesn't need the red pots; it needs to make Google happy. I know that we diverted that kind of giving in my family from the Salvation Army to Samaritan's Purse years ago.
Thanks for taking the time to let me know. Last week my wife and I talked about sending them 50 bucks. Not now.
DeleteFuck em. Many years ago I called them and said I had some really nice stuff I wanted to donate. They said we don't pick stuff up. I said I'm talk thousands of dollars in furniture and appliances and it's nearly new. They said bring it here and we will look at it. I said, fuck you and I've never put a penny in their god damned pots.
ReplyDeleteTo those who are noting the Salvation Army is denying it, note the URL contains "myusa.org". If you go to https://www.salvationarmy.org/, you get the website of the international organization based in London, and scrolling to the bottom is the "International Social Justice Commission"; Just as the news articles said.
ReplyDeleteSo it may be the international organization has become "woke", and the US organization is denying it & trying to distance themselves from it.
The question becomes, how much oversight does the international organization have over the US organization, and how intertwined are they?
Thanks for pointing that out. However, the USA branch trying to cover their asses, now that the pig has been gutted and put on the spit, so to speak, is like the Communist Party USA trying to distance themselves from the former Soviet Union and Pol Pot's version on Marxism. Fuck them with telephone poles wrapped in shit-covered concertina wire.
DeleteKeep yer powder (and coffee) dry.
Printable, you know what to do. https://twitter.com/rwnutjob1/status/1464202156538486787?s=12
ReplyDeleteJust bring a hundred pennies and pitch them on the sidewalk,
ReplyDeleteColesdad
Fresh dog shit would be a nice contribution.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the same thing and a print out of this
DeleteAs others have mentioned, I always appreciated those folks standing out there in the cold and was happy to kick in a few bucks. I don't understand why an organization that is literally begging for contributions from ordinary working folks would sabotage that.
ReplyDeleteSA is just another self serving non profit scam.
ReplyDeleteI would not consider blm an activist group. I would go with terrorist or democrat fund raiser group. Or I wanna buy million dollar houses for the founders.
ReplyDeleteHard to imagine that the Salvation Army has gone woke. :(
ReplyDeleteMr. Lane, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
i have not seen anything from the sa saying that anyone needs to apologize for anything. everything i've seen says racism exists. which is true
ReplyDeleteDoing a little digging on their Web site looks like their "Racism Study Guide" cannot currently be accessed. I even tried several different browsers.
ReplyDeleteIntersting ...
