    Then why should we trust their 'files' on MLK any more than righties trust their 'files' on the Trunt and his associates?

    Salvation Army pulls controversial racism guide amid public outcry

    Andrew Miller

    November 30, 2021, 5:33 pm

    The Salvation Army has removed a document from its website called "Let’s Talk About Race" after criticism over the racially charged language instructing white people and Christians to "evaluate" racist attitudes and practices.

    "Elements of the recently issued ‘Let’s Talk About Racism’ guide led some to believe we think they should apologize for the color of their skin, or that The Salvation Army may have abandoned its Biblical beliefs for another philosophy or ideology," the Salvation Army posted on its website. "That was never our intention, so the guide has been removed for appropriate review."

    Not surprised this effort is 50 years old, born in a time of much protest not unlike today (think Alcatraz and Wounded Knee occupations):

    So, Neo-Con media (FOX) goes from promoting imaginary war on Christmas to imaginary war on Thanksgiving, - or both. Maybe its their twisted way of saying Happy Thanksgiving. Go figure.

    Their motto: What's life without an enemy (them) and the victim (us).

    You right wing lot can not help it to create fake news and conspiracies every day.
    Creating this fake reality is causing the US to sink further and further away of being nr1.

    Here’s Joe Biden’s proclamation about Thanksgiving.

    https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing...1/23/a-proclamation-on-thanksgiving-day-2022/

    Is there any part of this that you disagree with?

    The more this goes on the more people will realize "diversity" is just code for anti-white.

    I disagree with their issued list of talking points to bring up at the Thanksgiving table.

    Because that's just what every family needs is a list of political talking points from the White House to argue over the Thanksgiving table with....

    Even the most politically opinionated family members realize that that's not the place to argue politics but evidently the White House did not get the message

    This is strange coming from someone aligned with the following victims:

    blacks
    Browns
    Muslims
    Illegals
    China
    Palestinians
    LGB
    And the letters symbols and numbers after LGB
    Hatians
    People in shithole countries
    Obese people
    People who lived over 200 years ago.

    Not all Republicans are neo-cons. But it's clear that progressives have a very negative outlook on the life of traditionalists of all kind, be they Christians or otherwise. I happen to think Thanksgiving is a universal holiday, where it's not about the food but about the kindness people share.

    You have a mighty broad definition of "progressives".

    Like the same isn't true the other way around? I don't think things are nearly as bad as politicians made them out to be(for votes) but we clearly do have a cultural rift that is being politically exploited on all sides.

    You hit the spot with that one. The irony is glaring among Democrats.

    It's already a mostly universal thing, since the Christians exported it all over, including the US. What hits a nerve is that in the oh so well known school plays drag in the pilgrim fathers being so called so kind to the native Americans. With this, there is this weird suggestion being made that this is how Christians were while we know that the genocide on the natives done by those Christians was rather well organized.
