I don't consider black ghetto behavior to be black culture. I consider it black "counter culture". They are trying to be separatist and reject mainstream America to differentiate themselves and have a unique identity. It entails a lot of very bad elements. It is a harmful, hateful, and dangerous counter culture for the people practiciing it as well as for their victims.

I consider "black culture" to be mainstream. Unfortunately, black counter culture is large and widespread. They do a lot of damage all out of proportion to their size. This is why a small minority of young black men commit a majority of crimes and are overrepresented in prisons.

Black counter culture is catastrophic.

We are in a high-stakes culture war and we are playing for all the marbles. We are voting with our feet and with our dollars. The only way America is going to move away from the cliff of socialist totalitarian oppressions, is if a large majority of American's vote with their dollars. Most politicians and companies don't see the light until they feel the heat. If cutting off Salvation Army is necessary to get leadership to "see the light", then it is necessary. Rewarding them for becoming woke will be misinterpreted as approval and they will just become more and more woke.

This Christmas season when I see Salvation Army donation workers outside stores, I am going to tell them about this document and let them know Salvation Army does not want my racist dollars anymore.

Plenty of other ways to help people without supporting this group.

It's silly to "help" those who call you toxic and evil. Would you also have called for the slaves of the old south to help their fellow plantation owners? Of course not. But it's fine with you to declare white people to be the same thing you vehemently oppose calling black people.

I am glad that this happened.
We really need to see this with clarity to put an end to this nonsense.
The sooner the better.
I want more people to see this situation and others like it.
I am glad this group was dumb enough to show us their cards.

Do they really believe this crap or do they think that this is what we want to hear?
I betcha they got themselves one of them fancy experts from college that knows all this new stuff.

I used to support SumOfUs. Then one day I got an email from them telling me that they are offering a course on 'how not to oppress people' if I was interested. I won't mention the actual words that were my response. I don't donate to them anymore. Yet they do seem to be fighting the good fight but I just don't trust them anymore. And why should I be supporting anything woke?

Yet as I say, they do seem to be fighting the good fight. I will of course be re-evaluating my stance.

The salvation army is now on my black list.

Get ready for more great organizations going woke. The younger generations are being indoctrinated with wokeness from elementary school thru college and by the media and Hollywood. They are going into the workforce and moving into managerial positions and every organization eventually will go woke at some point.
