Fun fact: Sally Struthers dropped the sponsor-a-nigger...
...after niggers nearly killed her. :02_laugh:

>Sally Struthers said she stopped being a Christian Children’s Fund ambassador out of fear for her life.

>She had flown to Uganda on a very small plane to meet a child she sponsored. They were going to film a commercial together.

>Remembering what happened next makes her realize how lucky she is to be alive.

>“They brought [the child] from his village, which was quite a few hours away. He had traveled to come meet his sponsor, to meet me, and I made some commercials with him, and I played with him and I brought him toys and balloons,” Struthers recalls. “Well, a roving band of guerrilla warfare guys came out of the bushes and asked [him] where he was from, and he named his village, which was far away, and they decided that we had kidnapped him, and they were going to shoot all of us.”

>A priest who was there and spoke the language of the guerrillas told Struthers to walk away without turning her back on the men. She survived but the encountered changed her.

>“I thought, ‘I’ve been on so many little airplanes that could have crashed and in so many horrible situations.’ I came back from one of my trips overseas with hepatitis.” the actress said. “I thought, ‘What am I doing? I’ve got a child, a real-life child of my own, and I’m gonna make her an orphan. I can’t do this anymore.'”

>The guerrillas didn’t care that Sally Struthers was there on a humanitarian mission. Her goodwill helped feed countless children but it was time to close that chapter.

>The actress was done.

I literally wrote a paper about this in college for one of my ethics classes. The conclusion was exactly that.
