I read that in England there are about ten charities for white children. There are literally thousands for jews.
Even back then huh? Damn shame.
The Jamaica insurrection is another hopeful piece of business. That platform-sympathy with the black or the native, or the devil afar off, and that platform indifference to our own countrymen at enormous odds in the midst of bloodshed and savagery, makes me stark wild. Only the other day, here was a meeting of jawbones of asses at Manchester, to censure the Jamaica Governor for his manner of putting down the insurrection! So we are badgered about New Zealanders and Hottentots, as if they were identical with men in clean shirts at Camberwell, and were to be bound by pen and ink accordingly. So Exeter Hall holds us in mortal submission to missionaries, who (Livingstone always excepted) are perfect nuisances, and leave every place worse than they found it.
Of all the many evidences that are visible of our being ill-governed, no one is so remarkable to me as our ignorance of what is going on under our Government. What will future generations think of that enormous Indian Mutiny being ripened without suspicion, until whole regiments arose and killed their officers? A week ago, red tape, half-bouncing and half pooh-poohing what it bounced at, would have scouted the idea of a Dublin jail not being able to hold a political prisoner. But for the blacks in Jamaica being over-impatient and before their time, the whites might have been exterminated, without a previous hint or suspicion that there was anything amiss.
--Charles Dickens, letter to M. de Cerjat, 1865.
It's easy for the charities to manufacture a perception of need in a place that the marks aren't familiar with. If you talk about the needy in their neighborhood the marks are less likely to fall for it. They start asking questions like "why does all the welfare around here not solve the problem?" and "where exactly are all these needy children, and where are their parents?". This leads to the charities as being exposed as frauds.
When they create slideshows of starving children in decrepit conditions it can be an entirely fabricated video and the marks never question it. They simply assume they wouldn't know about it if it is so far away.
This entire thing stems from the strategy of the scam artists known as charities.
Thanks! I was trying to find this recently
