Weird, I thought they were super right wing? Is the right wing doing this now, too? I thought this was a left wing thing.

The woke have infiltrated everything. They took over education so anyone 'educated' in the past decade or two has a chance of being woke. Frankly any org that has a Social Justice Commission is badly infected.

...lament, repent and apologize for biases or racist ideologies held and actions committed.

Unfortunately, under modern woke doctrine, just being white is a racist ideology held and action committed.

...the things that God intended to be different among cultures.

Whether God intended it or it simply developed because of distance and differences in climate, social groupings, and geography, there are different cultures in the world.

And each set of immigrants to the US brings some of their heritage and culture with them. We assimilate cultural differences from our immigrant groups, adapting and adopting them as our own.

It has ever been thus.

The Italians didn't invent noodles, but they've become synonymous with Italian cuisine.

The English language is a polyglot muddle of Latin, Norman French, Saxon, and Norse. Over time, Native American, modern French, German, Jewish, Spanish, Indian, Chinese, and African influences have been added to it.

African-American slaves influenced American food, music, folklore, language, construction, and religious worship.

This isn't appropriation, it's assimilation; and assimilation is a good thing. It brings us all together, unites us as one people. After all, that's what we want, to be one people. Right?

The wokesters are really going to regret raising white racial consciousness. There's no way it ends well.

They are liberal on the evangelical spectrum. The only identifiable "rightist" position I remember them holding over the last two decades is opposition to gay marriage. Often the women pastor issue is a big indicator of which camp of evangelical this century, and they've had women captains and other ranks in their military for some time, and they act as local pastors/leaders of subunits of their army. Most right-wing evangelicals would have said they were social gospel all the way, which would make them theological liberals based on the 20th-century split.

All that said, usually the Salvation Army has a huge presence in my area over the Thanksgiving weekend, and people in my area give a lot. I saw only two poles, and they had no bell ringer and no kettle during prime shopping hours. There was a note you could go to the website. I think this really cost the people they serve a lot, and it shows that they are over as an entity since they've stopped focusing on their raison d'etre.

Remember Amy, you need to post some anti-Trump mishigas after you do a post like this.
You don't want a burning Hammer & Sickle by your front door. Please remember to kowtow to you progressive Venice Beach neighbors, you don't want it to get ugly.

I recently re-read Alcott because my oldest is at that age and we read her together.

So many of her books involve characters asking (begging even) their friends to tell them their faults so that they can fix them. So their friends tell them they overeat or are too messy or too flakey or whatever, and they are very grateful and amend their wicked ways.

I feel like this is the modern continuation of that sort of thing. This whole piling on someone and then they repent and say how grateful and humbled they are by the whole experience. There's something, what's the word I am looking for... Puritanical? Evangelical? Very religious anyhow.

"The organization denied attempting to indoctrinate or tell its donors what to think, reminding people that the guide was meant for internal use."

Ha! I love your response Amy! yes, how heartwarming that they are only victimizing employees and volunteers.

And, it seems like there are more and more "charities" that I do NOT want to give my hard-earned money to since they want to engage in skeevy politics instead of putting all their effort into doing actual good work.

The Salvation Army has retracted this 'guide'. But that is a little too late. Once you put something like this out there you can't fully undo that.

Even before the SA went woketard, their purpose in life seemed to be to persecute sex workers and keep them banned. So the SA can burn in hell.
