Prince Harry and William have done a lot of charitable work In Africa, so does that make them racists?   

 

 

No, but looking at their old man, you'd not be surprised.

That'll save a lot of people a lot of money, now that they don't have to bother trying to raise money for charity, since charity is now racist...awesome!

Comic Relief is one of the better charities IMO which has done a lot of good work and actually helped people. The key is they send useful stuff or set up projects themselves rather than just sending money.

 

Unfortunately we live in an age when some charities have become tax dodging, money making concerns for the directors etc. which gives them all a bad name. We have been pouring money into them with little effect, but somebody, somewhere is getting rich,. So do your homework before giving.

 

The idea that charity is necessary in this day and age, (and it is,) is also troubling when many of the problems should be tackled at government level.

3rd world problems-

"We're starving to death in poverty, with no medicine"

 

1st world problems-

"The way you're raising money to help is not universally socially acceptable"

When he says white people are portrayed as saviours that’s what they are, raising funds for the charity. Even if they are a black celebs fund raising, they are all saviours.

 

Don’t know much about this MP, could be he is trying to make a name for himself, or was he a bit annoyed that Stacey won strictly like me.  I wonder what the charities think of his comments?   

 

 

The British Royal family has benefited from the wealth stolen from the people of other nations for centuries. If the Royals were genuine about helping the world's poor they would donate their considerable wealth instead of manipulating the poorest in this country to donate on their behalf.

As you do too, in fact.

I don't think what Lammy said was particularly controversial really.

Flip it around and imagine a white politician saying he doesn't like to see black people helping white people. Would it be controversial to you then?

Is that what Lammy said? I must have mis-heard.

Idi Amin sent food aid to the UK.

The irony is that Lammy is criticising Dooley for going out there to raise awareness and funds yet has declined to reply to an offer from the BBC and Comic Relief to go out there himself to support them. The guy is a wassock as Capstick would say

You can see what he said in the links. One example is "the world does not need any more white saviours" in response to Stacey Dooley's post of her Comic Relief expedition. He doesn't seem to like seeing white people help black people for some reason.
