    Charity Navigator is an excellent source for getting ratings and information as well as how much of the money goes to the actual charity, and how much for salaries and expenses. I have been using it for many years.

    That's a great site, Axxe, I have used them for years. One that we still like and scores well is Samaritan's Purse. They have done some good work over the years, including during the "pandemic".

    Good link. I looked up Shriners Hospital because I’ve often wondered how much $ actually makes it to help the kids. Just seems like they are running dedicated infomercials running in 30 minute blocks of time almost daily around 3-5am. Their ratio looks good though, 4 star. Also saw that Alec Baldwin‘s charity isn’t rated very good.

    You're welcome. I think it's a good way to get an idea of how the money you donate is used,

    I simply posted for anyone to use to find out or evaluate the charities they donated to, or were thinking of donating to.

    Since the Salvation Army pulled the document in question (probably costing them money), I used the Wayback Machine to find and download the "Let's Talk About Racism" discussion guide. They used the word apology, apologize, etc 15 times.

    They also said it does not "replace, superseded, or act as an addendum" the the International Salvation Army position.

    Let's be totally honest all this woke (supposed woke) bullshit is just window dressing. Period.....
    You can't legislate to abolish racism no how no way
    No matter what people think. There are many who don't nor ever will lik me cause I'm black

    So what judge me all you want but just don't put yo hands on me or mne
    This woke generation wants unicorn farts and sunshine. Ain't gonna happen. The world is a evil thing. And yes would I like it different but it's not meant to be.
    All this is bait and switch for the bend over we Taking

    Well said sir, well said.

    It really doesn't make a bit of difference how many companies go "woke" and what agendas they push in their advertising. People are going to be people at the end of the day.

    And people have fears, hate, bias' emotions and opinions on just about everything in life.

    Personally, I think that we should judge a person on who they are as an individual first and foremost. But I can't expect anyone else to subscribe to my way of thinking. Some people will never get to the point in their life for whatever reasons.

    But, it's never going to happen if companies, sports figures, celebrities and political parties are trying to shove it down our throats at ever turn.

    No matter what, there will ALWAYS be some that don't that will dislike you for the simple reason that you are not like them. Doesn't matter what color your skin is, your ethnicity or religion. They will find something to dislike.
