I arrived at MSY last night, and listening to 1150 AM WJBO in Baton Rouge now. Just heard a rather profound and sincere apology / clarification from someone involved in the Salvation Army regarding their anti-white nonsense.

On a scale of 1 to 10 as far as how well he addressed the wrongs of that racist bullshite, I would rate it a 6 at best. I am not asking anyone to change their minds, but wanted to know if y'all heard it?

I am waiting for them to announce they have eliminated their Grand Poobah of Diversity and Inclusion before I drop another buck in the bucket, but the apology was a step in that direction.

I usually give them a good bit of cash during the season. Not a fricking penny this year.

This was one of the dumbest decisions in non profit organization history.

Whoever started it within the Salvation Army must step down.
Apologies are hollow.

Sounds like some buckets aren’t filling up.

Bad move by the Salvation Army if they are about to drag whites into it and declare it’s a racist situation. It’s always whites are racist. Not a one black person is.

Never again. Too much strange white hatred in what they did. Will go to Sam. Purse unless something strange comes out of there.

They should have had mass firings right when there was backlash and a promise to never go down the route of wokeness. They simply apologize after all this time has passed? They're still not taking this seriously. It's too late now

They are only apologizing because the money has stopped.

Why didn’t they apologize 2 weeks ago?


frick ‘em.

It was an extremely calculated decision to start an anti-white people campaign. They're only sorry that they're losing money. That's not an apology. Hopefully they go tits up for good.

Time for us, conservatives, to begin cancelling when we're attacked by all these "woke" groups.
Give your money to the Shriners or St. Jude's, instead!

We went to santa pictures at Cabella's last weekend and they were set up out front. When we were leaving my wife was going to give our daughter some money to put into the kettle but I said don't do that and I'll explain later. Told her about their anti-white nonsense.

I heard it this morning and laughed. Like others have said previously, it's too late.

Add Samaritan’s Purse to that. They helped our family during the March 17th tornado here in Alabama.

the saddest part is that none of you understand the Salvation army is a scam. 30% goes to salaries. most of the rest of it is spread around to other "charities", paying their salaries, and those pencil pushers do the same. Very little actually goes to people who need it. congrats on paying the salaries of people who do nothing real.

I'm waiting for them to clean house from top to bottom before I donate again.
