Salvation Army's Internal Survey Suggests Only Whites Are Racist

One Salvation Army officer reached out on condition of anonymity to Color Us United, the raceblind advocacy organization which I run, to reveal an internal survey he was asked to take. It was not a voluntary survey, and was sent by the Territorial Diversity and Inclusion Secretary to every Salvation Army Officer in the US Central Territory. The purpose of the survey, according to an email from the "Territorial Racial Diversity and Inclusion Secretary," was "to better understand perception of institutional racial bias within The Salvation Army." The accompanying email stated that there was no "preconceived idea" with regard to whether or not racism existed in The Salvation Army, and told recipients that there were no wrong answers.
I sat down and went through the questions.
First, Questions #1, #2, and #3 asked me for my race, age, and gender. I could not skip these questions. Already, I felt uncomfortable being required to list my personal attributes. If I was an officer, I would be wondering: how could this information be used against me in the future? (They did promise anonymity in this survey.)
The survey then asks Salvationists if they agree with the following definition of racism: "Institutional racism refers to organizational or system processes, behaviors, policies, or procedures, which produce negative outcomes for nonwhites relative to those for whites." The remaining questions in the survey are dependent upon agreeing to this definition of racism. For any Officer or Soldier who disagrees with this framing, there is no way to express any disagreement or nuance apart from plainly saying that racism does not exist.
Going through the survey, it became apparent that the survey was attempting to lead me to making only one conclusion about The Salvation Army that it harbored problematic racism.
This belief is one of the core tenets of critical race theory. Critical race theorists teach that racism is ubiquitous in all aspects of American life. They also teach that it works systemically; that is, by being ingrained in the systems and institutions that operate in society. Their primary evidence of the system being racist is the reality that individuals from different demographics have different life outcomes on average, without taking into account any variables that might impact said life outcomes apart from the color of their skin. All of these concepts are reflected in The Salvation Army's survey.

I’ll just keep giving to St Jude, Child Fund and my church. The SA can forget me dropping a penny in one of their pots.

I now pass them without giving every chance I get.

Thanks for the info. I will keep that in mind next time I see one of their fundraisers.

As if the SA didn’t already have a bad rap in Baton Rouge.
People who only half heard the story already think that they killed Barry Seale.

I regret now my white arse rang a bell for them numerous times in the past.
Right along side black ringers from time to time.
Guess I'll just apologize for that and leave them alone.

It's sad, I stopped donating to charities because they're corrupt, woke or have very little going to the people in need.
Do research and you will find most are a scam for the BOD to enrich themselves.

Any charity which can afford such an officer, office and staff does not need my money.

so wrong
racism is hard wired into every human brain
every.
single.
one.
since the only way to get rid of it is to get rid of the human brain, it will not be gotten rid of

I'm fairly impressed they've gone this long before revealing true colors. The SA is under the Methodist church and the Methodist church tends to be more liberal in thought.

That the SA even has this bullshite tells me they don’t need my money

Therefore it is genetic and not my fault.

Yep, the tired old mantra of “only whites can be racist”. If a person starts at that definition then they can easily go down the path of white hate and morally justify whatever action they want towards whites, because whites deserve it for being racists.

It's coming, Neuralink is the start. I'm not sure how long it'll take, but they are coming for the human brain.

Hate to break it to you but St Jude’s fund raising arm is also woke

The reason so many corporations are embracing CRT is because they are pressured to do so by the banks that control their destiny.
