The Salvation Army will not get another dime from me. In case you missed it:
“In 2021, the Salvation Army’s International Social Justice Commission released an internal, voluntary discussion guide titled “Let’s Talk About Racism”. The guide suggested that white people within the organization should “lament, repent and apologize for biases or racist ideologies held and actions committed”. It also discouraged the idea of being “colorblind,” arguing it ignores cultural differences and ongoing discrimination.”
