The Salvation Army, having faced a massive backlash because of November’s “Let’s Talk About Racism” guide, doesn’t seem to have learned its lesson. It’s now announced that, in January, it will be offering a two-day racial justice forum in Illinois. This turn to the left does not bode well for an organization that has already seen a significant drop in charitable donations since it decided to embrace leftist politics.
Since its founding in 1865, the Salvation Army has been one of the most effective charitable organizations in America. Its members have reached out to and helped the poor, the hungry, and the broken, both physically and spiritually. However, in November, the Salvation Army issued a guidebook entitled “Let’s Talk About Racism,” which seemed to be trying to shift its salvation focus to Critical Race Theory. The pushback was so great that the Salvation Army pulled the guidebook. Despite having done so, though, in some regions, the Salvation Army saw a precipitous decline in both volunteers and donations.
One would think the beat-down it took in November and December, in terms of both public opprobrium and financial losses, would have caused the Salvation Army to think twice about adding a big dollop of Marxist-inspired Critical Race Theory to its core theology. One would be wrong, however, to think that. Fox News reports that the Salvation Army’s Metropolitan Division is offering a two-day long racial justice forum:
The Salvation Army is hosting a two-day racial justice forum in Illinois in an effort to “help alleviate the pain of suffering humanity within our communities and institutions” after the organization sparked controversy last month with a racism guide that it has since retracted.
The Young Adult Racial Justice Forum, hosted by the Salvation Army Metropolitan Division, will take place in Hoffman Estates near Chicago on Jan. 8-Jan. 9 and will feature theologian and activist Esau McCaulley as a guest speaker.
The salvation army is a front taking advantage of good honest citizens to do the money collecting and such while the big shots reap most of the benefits. Haven’t donated to the red kettles for years.
WOKE gets Blackballed !!! Be My Guest !!!! Woke will go Broke !!!!!
I am White, so I sure didn’t make their red kettle ching-a-ling this year. Neither did a lot of others. I can’t believe the SA was stupid enough to make those remarks.
The Salisbury S.A. is run by two of the dumbest Captains in history, their members have left they are flat lining-on life support. The only chance Salisbury has is to get rid of the husband & wife team and their Director Latoya with her criminal charges. It is a matter of public record.
I did not drop one penny in their red kettles this year. If they hate White people so much, then they don’t need our money. I didn’t know they were such a biased, racists group or I would have stopped donating long ago.
Black-Ball the WOKE !!!!!! make them CHOKE !!!!!
