Salvation Army’s Woke ‘International Policy on Racism’

In case you’re interested.  Following is the Salvation Army’s International Policy on Racism. This is WOKENESS personified! I understand they might have withdrawn this  from their Guide to Employees .  under pressure from donors.

We have laws e.g. Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 65 which have eliminated so called “systemic racism” in the United States – yes there may be some individuals who are still bigots but, as a nation we are not nor are 99.99% of our white population.

Those who foster such Marxist principles espoused by BLM and inculcated into CRT; who extort businesses and charities into turning totally WOKE and keep people of color thinking they are victims of an evil, racist country are the true bigots and racists.

International Policy on Racism

PRACTICAL RESPONSES The universality of God’s love is clearly declared in Scripture, and must be actualised in the daily living of people (1 John 4:20).

Racism is a wrong that needs to be countered and calls for truthful acknowledgement, rectification and reconciliation on an organisational, individual and societal level. Responding at an organisational level: The Salvation Army is committed to equality, disavows discrimination and affirms racial diversity.

Sorrow and repentance are needed for any negative legacy that past shortcomings have created. We acknowledge that Salvationists have sometimes conformed to economic, political, social and internal pressures that perpetuate racism

•  The Salvation Army will make and encourage efforts to challenge and overcome racism wherever it exists.
•  The Salvation Army must always be vigilant and guard against the infiltration of racism in our organisation.
•  The Salvation Army recognises the importance of robust systems to report and discuss racism without fear and will endeavour to provide these. • The Salvation Army will continue to make efforts to ensure ethnic diversity in international and territorial leadership.
•  The Salvation Army will promote the value of ethnic diversity and inclusiveness in all expressions of Salvation Army life including prioritising resources for the education and development of all personnel.
•  The Salvation Army will regularly review its investment portfolios to ensure that they are consistent with the values and beliefs it proclaims. Responding at an individual level: • Salvationists are expected to take personal action against racism motivated by their obedience to the example of Jesus and their respect of the image of God in every person.
•  Salvationists are expected to seek to influence the attitudes of others by expressly rejecting racial stereotypes, slurs and jokes.
•  Salvationists should raise their families to appreciate the diversity of cultures and ethnicities.
• Salvationists are encouraged to join with others in combined efforts to bring about justice for the victims of racism. Responding at a societal level: The Salvation Army will seek to influence governments, businesses, civil society and other faith communities to:
  • Pursue goals of racial and economic justice. This should include efforts to achieve fair working conditions, adequate income, safe and secure housing, educational opportunities that will enhance life, and health care that is accessible irrespective of ethnicity.
  • Be aware of its responsibility to promote racial justice and ethnic diversity in private and public sectors of life.
  • Avoid and resist rhetoric that can contribute to ethnic stereotyping.
  • Encourage all people – especially leaders in society – to recognise the negative effects of racism in society and commit to rid the world of this injustice.

Dear Salvation Army,

For more than 30 years, I have given between 20 and 50 dollars to your annual Christmas red kettle campaign.

Now that you have chosen to advocate for Critical Race Theory, this year's amount will be zero.

Peace,
