Well I expect the obvious answer would be that skin colour, or race specific charities wouldn’t be allowed by law because that would be racist, but if that’s the case then all these organisations must be illegal.

It turns out there are actually over 300 charities which specifically cater for the needs of ethnic minorities, but you can’t register a charity aimed at helping whites, that’s illegal.
Is this equality? Where’s Trevor Phillips from the EHRC when you need him? Maybe he’s busy.http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment…

19 Responses to “(uk) Why Are There No Charities Specifically For White British People?”
  1. Mike Indigenous British says:

    Envious people are trying to get “revenge” for the fact that northern European people made the modern world. They have pressed our hyper self critical low intelligence liberals into a whole matrix of non white charities. Of course it is racism, they are in effect taxing us for our success, ( most of these charities are tax exempt)
    White real British readers should ask themselves this question:
    ” Could you really go to another country more successful than the UK (if you can find one) then spend your time castigating and criticising that country, also setting up your own special charities?
    ~edit~~~ By the way , of course charities cannot make profits but expenses and high salaries can be paid. I am not accusing any of the mentioned charities of “milking” expenses and paying fat salaries but I would like to see the Charities Commission auditing methods.
    How are these Charities checked? it seems many small ones are hardly checked at all see this link:

  2. True Patriot says:

    What is messed up is white people are the world minority, and yet we are the causes and financial solutions to all the worlds problems.
    Just ask the U.S. president. He will tell you all about how the white man’s greed runs a world in need. It is in his book.

  3. Resistan says:

    I saw a poster advertising a charity that was especially for Asian women in abusive relationships, what’s wrong with the well know and much respected NCDV? it seems a strange way of encouraging multi-culture by segregating them further.

  4. Willow H says:

    Oh but indeed there is one now, the prestigious Steadfast Trust, I am surprised that as a BNP supporter you have not heard of them as they seem to have some sort of tenuous connection:

  5. Back to the drawing board says:

    Because America is being destroyed by design through the catholic church and the jesuit order. I’ts going to get a lot worse by the end of 09

  6. Ryan K says:

    It just goes to show those that are xenophobic who live in this country.

  7. John D says:

    There does appear to be some confusion here; this list contains charities, unincorporated associations and government created organisations all of which seem to be connected through, and only through, their use of the words Asian and Black. The list has been cut and pasted, by the way, and I’ll send it to Private Eye if I have the time later on – the inclusion of the Black Country organisations made me laugh out loud.
    I’m not sure what the question is predicated on, to be honest. What charitable need exists for anyone based solely on skin colour? The organisations above will cater for people based on culture and there are no cultural binds that I can think of which unite white people. Or Asians, come to think of it, but that’s their problem, not mine.
    I liked Skitzee’s answer and gave it a thumbs up but he was wrong in one respect – Scots, Welsh and Irish are easily identifiable on different aspects of race and there are any number of organisations which exist to recognise and celebrate the diversity.
    You’d think a Scot to be ignorant if he’d never heard of Shakespeare, Constable and Chaucer but while you might have heard of Robert Burns and Arthur Conan Doyle, you’ve probably never heard of George MacKay Brown, Iain Crichton Smith or any of the ‘Glasgow Boys’ – as much a part of Scottish culture as Wordsworth is to yours.

  8. callumia says:

    Yeah, I agree. Is a bit wrong. They must feel that our current services cater for white british people already…what with age concern, the nhs etc
    That said you can never have equality when you are only pushing in one direction.
    I wonder why there is a need for a Black And Ethnic Minority Diabetes Association…
    that said looking at he list closely a lot of them seem to be more social clubs.
    Asian Aid
    Asian Artists Network (aan)
    Asian Arts Agency
    Asian Christian Church (london)
    Asian Christians
    for example.
    Maybe it is the equivalent of British pubs and clubs in Spain and anywhere else ex-Brits settle.
    @MR Sceptic, I completely agree.
    @Asker, I am suggesting that these groups seem to be a social club for people who perhaps cannot interact well in non cultural specific groups. Either due to language difficulties or custom.
    I agree that a Caucasian Charity shouldn’t be illegal. However I fail to see the need for them…why couldn’t they join a non race specific group? Surely they don’t have language problems? Or custom problems?
    Surely the only reason to have a caucasian charity would be to exclude minorities and not to help a group that may need a different approach from the mainstream?
    Yet again I feel the need to make clear. ANY group that only allows members of one ethnicity is wrong.
    @ ‘N’ – You know that the Black Police Association has white members and was set up by white people right? Hmmm you probably didn’t. You probably hasn’t read it’s mission statement to intergrate and strive for equality for all in the police service. Hmmm. Knee jerk reactions aren’t always correct.
    @TRUE PATRIOT… You know that British is NOT an ethnicity right? That would be North European Caucasian.
    If someone asked anyone else in the world to right down their ethnicity they wouldn’t just write down their country.
    Ethnicity – French/German/British/Dutch <- all of those are nationalities NOT racial groups.
    And the people In Africa would be Black African.
    Do not confuse Countrys and continents to race.
    @Asker…No we would refer to Chinese people’s ethnicity by their ethnicity group, Han Chinese being their biggest demographic.
    And I should have said, The black people in africa would be called black african. Obviously the white people In africa will not be called this.
    My point is that race/ethnicity isn’t determined by man made country lines. People in Scotland are the same race as England. French the Same as Ireland….etc, therefore it is impossible that your British ethnicity can be taken away as there is no such thing to begin with.

  9. Skitzee2 says:

    It always amazes me as to why there is a Black and Asian Police Association in Britain but it is illegal to have a White Police Association in this predominantly white nation.
    .I was under the impression that these people were invited to come and live here but it appears they are coming to live here and then being allowed to make up the Rules.

  10. N says:

    When you’ve checked that they all operate a colour bar, and refuse to help or allow membership to those who are not black or Asian, come back and tell us.
    They will then be as bad as the BNP who only allow membership to whites.
    Have you tried setting up a group targetted at white people? Don’t just tell us “it wouldn’t be allowed” – test it! Make sure, however that you allow those outside the target group membership.
    EDIT: “True Patriot” – has he considered changing his name to “True Moron”? Has he actually read his rant?
    1. No one has denied me my ethnicity. I’m still white European, English and British. Let’s not get into the race / ethnicity semantic argument.
    2. No one stops you calling your country your own. But it isn’t just yours. There are 60 million of us that you have to share it with. Just because we don’t all want it run the way you want it, don’t throw your toys out of the pram and claim you’re not allowed to call your country “your own”. You only have one 60 millionth share in it!
    3. No one stops you or I choosing our culture. What you can’t accept is that not everyone wants the same culture as you. You enjoy your culture, I’ll enjoy mine. Do you even know what you mean by your culture? Can you explain what it entails? Or is it just something from the BNP handbook you’ve copied and pasted.
    4. No one but you dictates your religion. No one tells you you can’t worship who you want. In fact, and if you think about it you know I’m right, the only religious groups who even try to evangelise and recruit me are Christian ones. No Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist, Jew etc has ever tried to tell me I should join their religion. or do you want to use that of evidence of your exclusion; “The Hindus won’t try to convert me!”
    5. No one prevents you choosing your way of life. Unless your way of life involves criminal acts.
    6. What you are trying to say is that the term British should be reserved for white skinned people. Well, I’ve news for you – your view is very much a minority view. Most people are not so shallow and blinkered. Most people do not want to live in your “white-supremacist utopia”.
    Nick Griffin famously wrote:
    “Without the White race, nothing matters. [Other right-wing parties] believe that the answer to the race question is integration and a futile attempt to create “Black Britons”, while we affirm that non-Whites have no place here at all and will not rest until every last one has left our land”
    It’s good to see you haven’t lost sight of your leader’s intentions.
    Another one of the BNP mob, “letting the cat out of the bag”.
    PS:
    Christian Aid, anybody?

  11. Mr Sceptic says:

    because people believe we don’t need any help and that we are superior in our own land. but its not the case. i believe the white working male is a minority, if not now then in 10 years. but what happens when we all lose our jobs to immigrants then we have no charity to support us. also blacks and asian’s believe we have it easy, when we now have it the hardest due to “positive discrimination” where the employer will need a certain amount of black people a certain amount of homosexuals……… to comply with the governments discrimination act. this is true because we have to do it where i work- and mrhairyman “90% of the country is white” where do you get this from, you must live in a peacefull area then. everyday where i work its the other way around. i have a first hand experience with these non whites and they are violent criminals

  12. Lewis says:

    I presume you have evidence of someone trying to set one up, and being legally prevented?
    Charities generally get set up out of need. They get set up and run by everyday people. As over 90% of the country is white, you have to wonder why not one of these 90% thinks that specifically white people ‘need’ a charity. Maybe it’s because they have all the cards stacked in their favour already.
    Have you looked into all the charities you listed? For example, the Asian Eye Care Trust of Stoke is for:
    THE RELIEF OF POOR PERSONS SUFFERING FROM EYE DISEASE AND BLINDNESS IN ANY PART OF THE WORLD BY PROVIDING TREATMENT AND/OR GIVING GRANTS TO ORGANISATIONS ESTABLISHED FOR THE SAME PURPOSES. So it’s not actually colour or race specific.
    Finally, here’s a UK based charity that helps white people – you can give them all your hard earned cash now: http://www.moldovaaidproject.org.uk/
    EDIT: Lewis: 85.7% of the population is “white British”. If you then throw in Irish, Eastern European, Australian, Scandinavian etc etc, you get over 90%. My source for this is the last census carried out in 2001. I accept more immigrants have come in since then, but then a huge chunk of those have come from Eastern Europe.

  13. MrHairym says:

    UK – Doesn’t that tell all these so called goody goody PC Brigade users on here something………..
    Race Relations only works ONE WAY – if you are black, asian, muslim or whatever – you can do what you like, say what you like and get away with it……
    This country needs to get it’s priorities right and start kicking these people out.
    There are probably hundreds more going around……..that you have not highlighted – what about all the ‘organisations’ set up that receive funding for Gay, Lesbian Green Eyed, blonde haired ferret collectors etc etc………why the hell do they need funding from the public – they aren’t exactly persecuted here are they……..
    This country has lost all it’s priorities for it’s own people

  14. jamand says:

    In the UK the white british population are in the driving seat. We do not experience the barriers that exist for minority groups because of centuries of inequality, we have ready access to any type of help and support that we may require so we don’t need the specialised support of dedicated charities.
    ****EDIT****
    Barriers clearly exist for minorities that do not exist for white british, to claim otherwise is simply obtuse and ignoring the stark reality.
    You may be happy for elderly Asian sufferers of cataracts to experience the slow deterioration in their vision that will ultimately lead to total loss of sight. I have no objection to that elderly person having a charity provide an advocate that fully understands their needs and who can help them access the appropriate help in a system that is otherwise geared up for white brits.

  15. angrymam says:

    My personal view is that any group that discriminates based on race is illegal but that the law is wrong on this.
    If a charity is able to give money to a black only group, then a charity should be allowed to give money and help to whites only if that is what they chose. Just as the same should apply with charities that only serve women, in that they should be allowed to fund just women or men if they want.
    So long as the people who donate the money are aware of the restrictions that is fine with me.

  16. The Patriot says:

    It is not a matter of skin colour, it is a matter of ethnicity.
    Have you noticed how the indigenous British people are gradually being denied their ethnicity? If I, an ethnically British person, went to an African country and told them that they have in effect no right to call their country their own, to choose their culture, religion and way of life, or justify defending their national interests, because ethnically there is no such thing as African. If I used this as a reason to call myself African, thus changing the meaning of ‘African’ from an ethnicity to one of national residence or citizenship, and claim what is theirs as my own. What would happen? The Lefties would probably start a war to drive my Colonial regime out and give Africa back to the Africans.

    That is, without a doubt, one of the best demolition jobs to a Q. that I have ever seen on here!
    Well done!
    Oh, and the Black Country associations….LMFAO!!!

  18. Wolfie says:

    Sounds like you’ve identified a real social problem…

  19. Bleak says:

    This is kind of like the condradictions around affirmative action. If you really take a step back and look at it all, it’s all personal and depends on how you take it personally. You may believe that you are being persecuted for being part of group that tends not too have too many problems in general, but because of an individual concern you feel much more persecuted against individually. You see, minority groups such as Asians and blacks are used to being identified as part of a group, rather than an individual. Whites are more used to being identified as individuals rather than being part of a group. The fact is, it’s not your fault or anyone’s fault that there are no campaigns supporting Caucasins. You yourself have probably never been racist in any sort of a public way, but you believe you are being persecuted by these organizations for things you’ve not done, but the fact is that when you are identified as part of a group, your group has persecuted against other races, whether you like it or not. That is why there are organizations protecting minority groups like asians and blacks, and not whites. sorry it’s like that.
    I myself am part white and understand the frustrations you have, but I took a college course on multicultural America and it helped me see why our country’s the way it is.
