Is Comic Relief racist?

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.

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.

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.
