Is Comic Relief racist?

[Flanker7 20]

This is what Lammy said and a deeper analysis of what it means, (to him). It means something completely different to many others.  

I think his version is more accurate, after all he said it and he knows what he was thinking. But, don't let that stop you  making stuff up.

Mabye racist in the eyes of the poor petals who are offended by everything they read

Everybody with a conscience must boycott Comic Relief.

 

This 'charity' promotes poverty porn in which wealthy white middle class BBC celebrities stereotype all black Africans as being helpless victims in desperate need of a wealthy white saviour.

 

Films of these rich celebs wearing expensive designer clothes while talking to Africans are insulting, racist and colonial. Comic Relief is in reality a missionary project designed to keep black Africans in their place while empowering the celebrities and feeding their ego's.

In 2019 why do we need a wealthy middle class white female celebrity to give us the narrative on Africa while taking advantage of career enhancing photo ops with black children who have no parents in sight?

 

BOYCOTT COMIC RELIEF.

I've just looked at Comic Relief on Instagram and it is shocking. Virtually every post is of wealthy white middle class celebrities promoting themselves for a fashionable cause - white saviours treating Africans as their cute little pets.

Its very disturbing. Forget the Africans, its ALL about the white celebrities.

Yeah, it would be much better to scrap it. Let's keep the millions raised each year in Britain instead. That'll show 'em.

  It depends how desperate your situation is.  If someone was going to give me money to improve my standard of life,  I don’t think I would mind being their cute little pet.

luckily I'v never contributed to any of these charities so cannot be accused of racism.

Same here. You can't be sure with any charity what is being siphoned off.  The ones I like are the ones where you can donate other things but money. I'e,  giving toys to The Hallam charity at Christmas.  I know somebody could take toys out of the box but at least it's not money.

Oh  my goodness.

This is a slug fest for the haters.

 

Slag off the politically correct crew.

Slag off the do gooders.

 

It seems to me that they have sided with the Politically correct crew.  Was that to avoid giving? Be careful of the friends you choose?

Maybe if 'The Africans' looked after their own, the white westerners wouldn't have to get involved.

 

What's your suggestion?

 

Let's stop all of the racist foreign aid and leave the poor countries to sort it out for themselves.

 

I used to be left-leaning and thought that helping those less well-off was a good thing. But now that the left appear to think that everything is racist, sexist and misogynistic, i can no longer promote and identify with their ideals.

 

I don't see Lammy helping his people... i bet he's just happy to leave it up to God as it takes the blame away from him.

I'm sick to death of all this P.C. rubbish.
