‘Starbucks’ Does It Again’ (2017)

Starbucks sign is seen alongside the mural of Georgy Zhukov, a Soviet general and Marshal of the Soviet Union who oversaw some of the USSR’s most...

The picture speaks for itself.

In 2017 Starbuck’s announced an intention to hire “10,000 Muslim refugees”–is that a euphemism for bad guys?–just to show President Donald Trump who’s boss.

Before that, Starbuck’s employees were instructed to greet every customer with “Let’s talk about racism!”

Amazing, that they’re still in business.

Starbuck’s Does It Again

Yes, it’s another Far Left idiot factory where they pursue “diversity” by trying to coerce a uniformity of thought. They’d set up gulags if they could.

Sometimes I find it kind of amazing that America herself is still in business.

Salvation Army Has Second Thoughts

Oops! That “all white people are guilty of every bad thing that ever happens” gambit doesn’t seem to have turned out so well for the Salvation Army. (See https://leeduigon.com/2021/11/26/salvation-army-goes-bad/).

Remember, last year, they wanted all white people to “apologize” for being Racists? Remember the compulsory “racial equity training” for all Salvation Army staff? Patty and I had for many years a monthly pledge to the Salvation Army. We took it away. If you think we’re racist biggit haters, why would you want our money?

Well, lots of donors had the same reaction; and the upshot of it is, they’re gonna pull their little pamphlet, “Let’s Talk About Racism” (by “talk” they mean white people must
“apologize” for being white), and call a time-out “for appropriate review” (https://justthenews.com/nation/culture/salvation-army-withdraws-guide-asks-white-members-apologize-their-race#insticator-commenting).

I wonder how much money in donations they’ve lost since they went Woke. Get woke, go broke, as the saying goes.

For all those years, the Salvation Army was a force for good in a fallen world.

Now it’s just another pile of neo-racist landfill fodder.

They need to repent, publicly, and beg white people’s forgiveness.

Salvation Army Goes… Bad

Hey, Sunshine! Let’s talk about your racism!

I didn’t want to post this news, and kept putting it off. In a way, it isn’t really “news”–it was first reported back in June, but no one noticed. And it’s been in the works for years, since 2007.

The Salvation Army is going “woke” (https://www.newsweek.com/salvation-armys-donors-withdraw-support-response-racial-wokeness-initiative-1645658). It’s CEO, “General” Brian Peddle, thinks white people should apologize for being white.

[Personal note: If I were to go up to any of my black neighbors and “apologize” for my skin color, which makes me guilty of every bad thing that’s ever been done, they would stare at me as if I were insane.]

A Bible verse springs to mind: [N]either cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you” (Matthew 7:6).

Last year Americans donated $1.8 billion to the Salvation Army; and it was pearls cast before swine. And then the swine attacked us. They took some of that money and used it to organize compulsory “racial equity training” in Critical Race Theory for all its staff and officers. We are not told how much they spent on that.

They also spent donated money to create a “guide” called “Let’s Talk About Racism.” Gee, Starbuck’s did the same stupid thing a few years ago and got laughed off the stage. But the Salvation Army has done it much more quietly.

Now, if the color of my skin makes me automatically guilty, automatically bad, then I guess my money’s bad and guilty, too–why should you want any of it?

Well, you aren’t going to get any. Not from me. My wife and I had a monthly pledge to the Salvation Army. Not any more.

I hate to see the Salvation Army cancel itself as a force for good! They have to repent. They have to clean up their act.

Fire their CEO, let Mr. Peddle go peddle his papers somewhere else. Fire the External Communications Manager, who has the brass to deny they’re doing any CRT at all. Fire anyone and everyone who has had anything to do with turning the Salvation Army into a mob of racist ranters.

Because, folks, we are sick and tired of “woke” and we are waking up to the fact that we have to get rid of it.

Do you want to go down with that ship?

Let’s Nag Each Other About Racism

I have never been inside a Starbuck’s, and I don’t plan on doing that anytime soon. Like, how much money can you cough up for a cup of coffee?

It’s bad enough they call their employees “baristas.” But recently, in an unsuccessful attempt to inject liberal politics into the most ordinary aspects of life, the top banana of Starbuck’s ordered his peons–er, baristas–to invite customers to “talk about race” while they had their coffee.

This little boat sank in a sea of public mockery ( http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3000260/Starbucks-PR-fail-Twitter-mockery-causes-coffee-executive-delete-account-customers-say-NOT-want-talk-racism-ordering-coffee.html ).

“Hi, here’s your coffee. Now let’s talk about racism.”

Oh, what fun Lenny Bruce would’ve had with that straight line!

This caper is yet another living example of the lib’s entitlement mind-set. Because he’s so much smarter than you, so much better, so morally superior, he can just invade your space anytime he wants–or, better yet, downright delicious, he can order someone else to do it for him. Liberal heaven!

When you’re a lib big shot, you don’t have to solve problems. Indeed, you can even do stuff that makes the problems worse. Nothing matters but your own self-righteousness: and the cheaper it comes, the more you like it.

If there was ever a right time for a pie in the face…
