Salvation Army goes "woke"???

[Timjoebillybob]

If it was the national org that did this I'd agree, but this is from the Chitcago chapter of the Salvation Army. And best I can tell has already been quashed.

 

[Ingomike]

Really.

Others here get warnings for say things like that...

I haven't heard anybody got fired because of it. That means that person did it under the order coming down from the chain of command.

Even the top brass denied it, they know they are hurting on the fund raising because of the CRT stuff they put out. For any non-profit, fundraising is a big deal.

You get warnings for posting hashed out bad words now?

 

[Timjoebillybob]

I quoted you above…

Yes you did. What rule do you think I violated?

 

[Ingomike]

You can even get a ban for it…

 

[Ingomike]

I’m done here.

Oh dear God.

Show me on the doll where TJBB hurt you.

 

[Ingomike]

This isn’t your deal.

A while back, perhaps. INGO had a problem with "creative spelling" of bad words and word came down to crack down on it. Official policy became use the filter, no using @ for a or similar, no hashing out manually, etc. Heck it wasn't allowed to use simulated cartoon swearing such as #*&@%&. The word I hashed out isn't a banned word because it has other uses such as being an actual name. So back then it would have been possible to get a warn/infract/ban for it. Doubtful in this case, but possible.

I’m done here.

Why? I'm really interested in what rule you think I've violated.

 

[Cameramonkey]

This isn’t your deal.

Fine.

Just understand what others are thinking about your rantings. You sound ridiculous.

I’m out as I’ve added my .02 and have nothing more to add.

Merry Christmas.

Not necessarily. It's possible it was a solely local action and was quashed from higher up the chain of command. In fact knowing Chitcago and the surrounding area it wouldn't surprise me. And just because you didn't hear of any discipline doesn't mean there was none.

Can you show me where the top brass denied this? For the rest I agree.

In a statement to Fox News, the Salvation Army downplayed the idea that the controversial racism guide has hurt donations.

"We have no information to suggest that the efforts of any political action group is affecting the Red Kettle results," a Salvation Army spokesperson said.

They definitely hurting.

My family went shopping yesterday morning at Meijer and Kroger. My wife went inside, my boys and I stayed in our car.

I didn't see 1 person drop coins at the SA kettle the entire time, both places were busy as you can imagine this time of the year.


Two of my co-worker organize SA donations in our work group every year, they didn't do it this year.

I doubt any major percentage of Americans have any idea this happened.

Maybe the workers should have to earn their Diversity Merit Badge like the BSA. This Social Justice has worked out well for them.

It is a shame that people advocating for us to overlook the excesses of the SA and focus on the good they have done were not able to do the same with their vote

And as several of us have stated we will give feedback to those boots on the ground to take back instead of cash. A simple message sent…

As a volunteer bell ringer this year as I posted earlier , we have NO feed back available to anyone higher up in the organization. We are not in the Salvation Army and have no affiliation with them. Strictly a service to the community scheduled long before controversy .

Painting with a wide brush again?
