Those jackasses can pander and counter-pander all they want, apologize and grovel all they want, it's too late, they stepped in it and I'm done with them, period.
So let me put this SA thing in some perspective. (A) America has already had a fucking GUT FULL of woke shit and we're OVER it! (B) America (and the West) is at the same time going through a Great Awakening, with people waking up to corruption everywhere and many returning to a path of faith. (C) America is also very unhappy with the grifters in government and medicine right now.
So into this awakening moment, as WOKENESS is rapidly becoming passe and old news and clearly the pandering of sell-outs, the Salvation Army, like a Johnny Come Lately steps into this delicate time, AND AT CHRISTMAS TIME, NO LESS!!! and tramples in the front door with reindeer scat on their hobnail boots and loud bells and red kettles DEMANDING that we white folks start apologizing for our inherent RACISM and oh by the way, "Can ya' just put a little extra in the kettle this year? Got RACISM to fight, doncha know?"
....and they do this with a straight face while America turns to look at them like a turd in the punch bowl, or like Uncle Larry just showed up with his 7th wife, cuz the first 6 were such LOSERS ya' know, and all his kids in tow asking to be put up and fed for a week or two while he takes his new bride to Las Vegas BABY!!
Yeah, that kind of creepiness. The SA, like so many other institutions, not the least of which are the FBI and CIA and DOJ, need to be dismantled down to the janitor levels and rebuilt from the ground up with ENTIRELY new people, patriots and Godly people, and send all the others packing to flip hamburgers or whatever losers like that do nowadays, and never allowed anywhere NEAR the levers of power again.
This BS backpedaling without actually admitting they were wrong does not cut it for me either. IMO the only appropriate response would have been to identify and fire ALL of the individuals responsible for their woke-assed, racist venom and apologize profusely for subjecting their customers and donors to such disgusting BS in the first place AND to publicly tell us how they intend to ensure nothing like this will ever happen in the future.
This mealy-mouthed BS “retraction” they issued is nothing more than a sleazy attempt to keep the donations flowing in.
You may be right to gut the entire operation, but I wonder if just letting the SA die on the vine and be relegated to the history books might be better. Either way I won’t be contributing anything to that organization until wokeness is eradicated completely.

There now, I feel much better.
Glad you feel better and very well-stated, too.
