As we head into Christmas, the Salvation Army has gone full “woke” by demanding more than money from white donors, as they also want a “sincere apology” for their racism.
Leadership in the Salvation Army has embraced the ideologies that are pushed by the Black Lives Matter movement by launching the “International Social Justice Commission,” which has since created a “resource” to educate its white donors, volunteers, and staffers that they call Let’s Talk about Racism.
This “resource” states that because Christianity is inherently racist, white Christians owe “a sincere apology” to blacks for being “antagonistic…to black people or the culture, values and interests of the black community.”
One lesson states:
“Many have come to believe that we live in a post-racial society, but racism is very real for our brothers and sisters who are refused jobs and housing, denied basic rights and brutalized and oppressed simply because of the color of their skin. There is an urgent need for Christians to evaluate racist attitudes and practices in light of our faith, and to live faithfully in today’s world.”

Authors with the Salvation Army explain in the accompanying resource Study Guide on Racism that all white people are racist, even if they aren’t aware of it.
“The subtle nature of racism is such that people who are not consciously racist easily function with the privileges, empowerment and benefits of the dominant ethnicity, thus unintentionally perpetuating injustice,” this guide says, going on to add that “Sunday school curriculum that only uses white photography and imagery” is an example given that perpetuates injustice.
“We must stop denying the existence of individual and systemic/ institutional racism. They exist, and are still at work to keep White Americans in power,” the lesson continues. “These systems give privileges to white people”
At another point, Let’s Talk about Racism lectures that people must stop trying to be “color-blind,” implying that they should instead see racism everywhere like a good leftist.
“Stop trying to be ‘colorblind’. While this might sound helpful, it actually ignores the God-given differences we all possess, as well as the beautiful cultures of our Black and Brown brothers and sisters,” it says. “Instead of trying to be colorblind, try seeing the beauty in our differences, and welcome them into your homes churches and workplaces. Being colorblind also ignores the discrimination our Black and Brown brothers and sisters face and does not allow us to address racism properly.”
The Salvation Army should not be surprised if many “racist” white donors decide to give their money to other charities this holiday season.

Step back and look at the big picture. The racism industry — the “Anti-Racist” movement, “Critical Race Theory”, “Equity”, “Diversity”, “Inclusion”, “Multiculturalism”, “Intersectionality”, etc. — is, like Marxism, created, controlled, and financed by the international corporate elite to increase its wealth and power.
The immediate goals of the racism industry are to divide people; distract and misdirect people away from what is really happening and what is really important; marginalize white people; and make black people and other “protected classes” even more dependent, dysfunctional, and self-destructive than they already are.
The racism industry weakens the “protected classes” it supposedly champions by encouraging them to be more self-obsessed, more dependent on the government, more focused on trivialities, and more inclined to blame their troubles on things external to themselves rather than on their own actions.
The racism industry excuses — and thus encourages — the targeted groups’ worst habits and inclinations, while at the same time marginalizing, isolating, and gradually eliminating those groups most able to resist the imposition of tyranny.
I sincerely apologize for ever having a good thought about them.
you are not going to get more donations with a hateful message. how many donations come from whites vs any other race and u have the nerve to push this sick narrative we are all racist? YOU are racist YOU are demented and YOU are evil. I will never again donate to the salvation army for any reason nor will i recommend them.
Thanks for this article. I was not aware of the SA’s wokeness. The success of Whites is interpreted as racism, and is ‘systemic’ against other other races, when in fact these other peoples just can’t keep up. They can’t compete due to resources or intelligence or whatever. I’m tired of seeing Whites faulted for everyone else’s problems.
Buh bye, SA. I’ll find a more reasonable charity for my donations.
awww man, salvation army was one of my favorite cash donations. not any more
