A homeless white male says the people who have helped him survive were Black people & Hispanics.

I don't generally feel sorry for homeless white people. America is set up for them to succeed.

I don't dispute a word you said as I am completely aware of that. It is why I said, "IN THIS INSTANCE"...
It struck me as performative. Two things can true at once but I don't believe that man.

I have seen it plenty of times when White people look away or speed pass by, while a Black American stops and hands a homeless person money or food. Say what you want about my ethnicity, but at the end of the day a good portion of us are very generous people. That generosity even expresses itself in our propensity to run to the aid of other ethnicities, even when they rarely do the same for us.

I've given White men claiming they are homeless money. I just give them half the amount I give to hispanics, and one quarter the amount I give to my own people (Black Americans). I do something similar when it comes to tips too. A good White waitstaff will receive 20% in tips, hispanic will receive 30%, and Black American will receive 40%.

I am of the opinion that if all of my people followed something similar, who can afford it, it would be helpful to those who need it the most, based on the hindrances to opportunities each receives in this country. My wife follows a similar idea, but she is not as charitable as me. She does not go above 25% on tips, but our people do receive the higher tips from her too.

You took a selfless act of altruism and turned it into something racist and selfish. Might as well just keep the money for yourself.

I don’t donate to white homeless. You had your opportunity and wasted it.

I’ve seen somewhere that black women give the most to the homeless so I wouldn’t be shocked if black men were next at giving em the most. I personally don’t give out money but will get em food.

I only give to homeless black men. Everyone else has a safety net

 

[YakSpiller]

I don’t give cash but I will buy someone food if they ask for it. Don’t care what race you are.

Somebody who is straight up asking for food is definitely starving.

Drug addicts or alcoholics don’t usually care for food they’ll just steal from a store or some shyt.

Why does it bother you that I give money based on a weighted average scale? Since society is weighted in favor of those lighter ethnicities, I give less to them. Those who suffer more, receive less consideration, and have less overall wealth, I give more to.

Why would that bother you?

Edit: Also, define Selfish, because I don't think your definition of it actually fits the real definition for the word.
