re: Salvation Army apologizes in a radio ad

This evidently came out of their London World Headquarters…but came from a perspective of the US and said so in the literature itself…and yet their stateside leadership is the one addressing the issue while saying it came out of London.

Why aren’t the London folks disavowing or explaining it for themselves? Why did London issue a directive or study guide from a US perspective? Why is the Stateside guy addressing issues created by someone somewhere else?

Their leadership has no idea that they should take a look at their equity, diversity and inclusion positions and perhaps add a consultant to handle crisis management.

…and the lesson of mistake making is always accountability. Every single time. Own your mistakes as authentically and personally as your successes. That builds trust and repairs harm. To your relationships. Or your brand.

But owning mistakes requires acknowledging them in the first place. Which they aren’t doing. To own a mistake requires admitting the mistake was made.

These people have no clue what they’re doing,

I stopped going when one of the big whigs said that white people need to wash the feet of black people. Also one of the board members donated to BLM.

The Salvation Army occasionally publishes internal study guides on various complex topics to help foster positive conversations and grace-filled reflection among Salvationists. By openly discussing these issues, we always hope to encourage the development of a more thoughtful organization that is better positioned to support those in need. But no one is being told how to think. Period. In this case, the guide “Let’s Talk About Racism,” was issued as a voluntary resource, but it has since become a focus of controversy. We have done our best to provide accurate information, but unfortunately, some have chosen to ignore those efforts. At the same time, International Headquarters realized that certain aspects of the guide may need to be clarified. Consequently, for both reasons, the International Social Justice Commission has now withdrawn the guide for appropriate review.

Lol the commander is saying we don’t do social justice or adhere to a political party but the Bible.

Still never donating to them for putting out that bullshite message.

Give your money to the Shriners or St. Jude's, instead!

Dad of a Shriner’s patient here. My son is a healthy, thriving 23 y/o killin’ it in L.A. All that was up in the air for the first 11-12 years of his life.

Shriner’s St. Louis. No words. ‘Eternally grateful’ doesn’t begin to capture my feelings toward them. They wouldn’t take anything from us for his medical care, but they get most of my charitable giving now. Salvation Army can go play in traffic.

The local chapter in my area was on our local news begging for donations saying they were down 38%, and they also couldn't find bell ringers. They can go frick themselves. They can apologize all they want. What's done is done, and I'm done with them. Will never give them another cent.

The fact that they even have an International Social Justice Commission is reason enough for me not to donate to them.

There is a 100% chance that this commission is filled with woke racist assholes.

you should look into the way business is conducted at Goodwill.

the owner of Goodwill is a multi millionaire. he profits off of the goodwill of the American people who donate to that organization.

yes they do employ people who have difficulty finding jobs but they make at best a minimum wage.

these people live in poverty while this guy rakes in the profits.

i no longer donate or purchase from Goodwill.

Do they receive any federal funding through grants etc? Wouldn’t surprise me if this training was one of the factors that would help them score higher and be more competitive for the funding. Just my theory.
