Salvation Army goes "woke"???

[printcraft]

And it doesn't say anywhere in there that document that only white people are guilty of should repent. Which is exactly what I asked and what you could not provide.

Where have you been for the last several years?
You really think the people pushing this crud are talking about everyone and not specifically whites?
Really?

 

[drillsgt]

I never read stuff from them. I avoid biased journalism from the left and right.
Any other pot shots you want to take?

After seeing the word "woke" twice in the first paragraph' I decided to skim it - I do have work to do.

I will say he tries really hard to link the SA to leftist authors. (E.g. White Fragility) And I don't need him to tell me what to think, I read the SA's document, walked past innumerable bell ringers and no one called me racist.

I have no need to be outraged. And no need to believe that any discussion of racism is a personal attack on me, or an attack on America, or capitalism, or Christianity...YMMV, so continue with the rock throwing.

Share with us where you find your non-biased journalism.

I wasn't talking about everyone, this specifically about the Salvation Army.

I just skimmed the two linked salvation army guides. They do include CRT and similar garbage. Yes, they should be embarrassed they published such.

According to the Salvation Army, we all racist...
A few quotes:

"The subtle nature of racism is such that people who are not consciously racist easily function with the privileges, empowerment and benefits of the dominant ethnicity, thus unintentionally perpetuating injustice."

"It is important for the empowered generations, including those who inherited the cultures of their forbearers, to assess their present circumstances and work towards just and equal communities"

"Racism can be so entrenched in institutions and culture that people can unintentionally and unwittingly perpetuate racial division. For instance, devout Christians who naively use racial epithets or a well-intentioned Sunday School curriculum that only uses white photography and imagery."

"These systems give privileges to White people resulting in disadvantages to People Of Color. Structural racism is defined as macro level systems, social forces, institutions, ideologies and processes that interact with one another to generate and reinforce inequities among racial and ethnic groups."

"We all have bias, but often we are not aware of the biases that we subconsciously hold. Research shows that years of structural and cultural constructs have deeply embedded stereotypes into our culture, and so into our own subconscious"

So you're sh*tting in a thread without reading the articles. Just as expected. Get back on your route!

Looks like the SA is calling on whites to acknowledge their inherent white racist privilege to me and they want whites to do something about correcting the injustices of the past and present that they wittingly or unwittingly help to perpetuate.

You are just perpetuating the idea that it's about whites because your world view revolves around whiteness, so you assume that it's talking about whites.

When you read the words:
"or a well-intentioned Sunday School curriculum that only uses white photography and imagery."
"These systems give privileges to White people resulting in disadvantages to People Of Color. "

You immediately assume that it's talking about white people for some reason. Weird.

You're right. How could I possibly be thinking that. Please excuse my white paranoia.

No, excusing it is how we got in this mess in the first place.

You're right again. I can't deny it any longer. I'm gonna go out in the public square and flatulate.

 

[BugI02]

It's not from CNN or MSNBC.

Or NPR!

Quick! Question the source!

 

[BugI02]

And it doesn't say anywhere in there that document that only white people are guilty of should repent. Which is exactly what I asked and what you could not provide.

Then please point out where it says people of all colors should examine their privilege and repent their possible racist ideas and actions, or mentions anyone besides white people as other than a victim

Do you somehow think that when reparations for slavery is spoken of, without overtly mentioning the ethnicity of the payees or the recipients, that that somehow means the color (or lack thereof) of the two groups is in doubt?

Ok, but in whose general direction??

 

[KG1]

I said "flatulate" not fapulate.

Really?

If there are victims to blame or the guilty to defend, little things like logic are not going to stand in his way.
