By the time someone has enough millions to toss them around to various causes, their race is a rounding error in their level of privilege. All this does is try to reframe a class vs class struggle as a race vs race struggle.
It’s so funny that you guys are getting up voted when I said almost the exact same thing and hammered for it. Love the consistency. I have the exact view you do. Adding white to this feels performative rather than actually wanting too solve the problem. It’s “woke 1.0” vibes.
Yours came across as a pithy comment coming from a “woke bad” reactionary frame commonly associated with right wing influencers. Mine was rhetorically better for Lemmy, and included a clear “no war but class war” dog whistle that appeals to a large crowd here.
We agree on the substance on this issue, but your rhetoric doesn’t match your audience.
Poor people of any stripe have it hard. Insulating the wealthy based on demographic is incorrect. Anyone with more than, say, $101 million can spare a mil for a good cause
For real black artists like Kendrick have been a huge disappointment. Their big mouth about the oppressed never went past their own neighborhood. Instead the whitest guys on the block are stepping up.
Kendrick routinely donates to charities. He focuses on Compton and LA, but to paint it like he doesn’t donate to causes that serve the underprivileged isn’t quite accurate.
Tell me you should be out in your own community more instead of online all the time without telling me you should be out in your own community more instead of online all the time…
I’m confused, why call out just white people? A million dollars is a million dollars…
Because privilege is power and power is responsibility.

Even later comments that has just about the exact same content got obliterated.
Poor white people, they have it so hard. 😞

Not a single word about Palestine in 3 years. Kendrick is a fraud.

Like how Macklemore is out in the community in silence… And Malcolm X never spoke about Palestine…

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar called out the racism double standard in the Black community years ago.
