On TB every waking moment
I just re-read the "Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas; This special time of year is a welcome reminder of the things we are grateful for....."
In no way does this sound like an apology, or even a walking-back of the insult, requesting White people apologise for being White & Racist.
I know Racism exists; I've never understood it but it's there. I also know it is not a White-only thing and personally experienced 'reverse discrimination'; too long and inappropriate to go into here. I've witnessed Racist activity by every race against all others and I'm not alone or unique there.
For SA to deliver such a condemnation of all White people and then have the gall to ignore how justified the reaction is (tightening of donation purse strings being almost immediate) or issuing an actual apology, indicates my reaction was correct.
There's an axiom I followed in business; never do business with a competitor. I extrapolate that to include never support an entity or group which wants to inhibit or in some way curtail your rights. If they falsely accuse me of something, they're doubly damned in my eyes.
If this Woke stance SA has taken inhibits them in the future, so be it.
I preach responsibility for one's actions and live by that. If I'm wrong, that's it; obviously I didn't have all the information I needed but I can correct that. SA seems to have moved off a path I can support so, I'm done with them.
This is probably the last time I'll even think of the organisation.
JMO & worth what it cost you get.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all.
Hopefully 2022 is the 1st step towards removing the Socialist boot so many want to put on our necks.
I never took the email I got as an apology. It was definitely saying that the wanting White people to apologize was fake and a rumor.
I knew from actual experience it was real and they were lying to try to get people to keep or start donating again.
It is a shame, but just like I have not donated to Red Cross for years because of real life things I witnessed, I won't ever forget they (Salvation Army) rejected my donation this year or why it was rejected.
Now it just means that the charities I do give to will get more. Lots more.
