‘Let’s instead promote voices from across the continent of Africa and have serious debate.’
He added: ‘Hi @StaceyDooley. This isn’t personal and I don’t question your good motives. My problem with British celebrities being flown out by Comic Relief to make the films is that it sends a distorted image of Africa which perpetuates an old idea from the colonial era.’ Comic Relief has also since responded to the controversy in a statement, which reads: ‘We are really grateful that Stacey Dooley, an award winning and internationally acclaimed documentary maker, agreed to go to Uganda to discover more about projects the British people have funded there and make no apologies for this.
‘She has filmed and reported on challenging issues all over the world, helping to put a much-needed spotlight on issues that affect people’s lives daily. In her film, people working with or supported by Comic Relief projects tell their own stories in their own words.’
😩
screw who when the directors of charity projects are getting up to 150k a year from donations to comic relief, yep, screw you white people, keep giving and being screwed thank you Sir Lenny Henry
Henry is as Great a Racist as Lammy neither like White People, but LOVE 💗 their MONEY.
What does she meant by the caption of ''Obsessed'' It cant be ignored that African children are being used as props to solicit money most of which is spent by european people to take trips and for work done here and abroad.
Glad this has erupted ‘comic relief ‘ indeed . This is Britain taking on the role of PR for Africa and of course who is the propaganda aimed at ? Itself.
At last, Lenny Henry a black saviour standing up for white people.
It’s not about ‘White Saviours’, it’s about Black folks not wanting to be so brutally reminded of African failure relative to White success. It’s uncomfortable for them.
