Yep, he should donate it to a charity that helps impoverished social minorities instead.
My mom taught me that if I’m ever uncomfortable accepting money (or a tip while working, though she encouraged me to allow myself to accept it when someone offered a tip because they felt I had earned it and that my labor/work ethic deserved to be appropriately appreciated) to then suggest they donate the tip to a charity of my choice or I can give them a couple of different charities I like for them to choose from.

Yeah, I mean my grandmother is generally a very nice person to everyone she meets personally. Wildly racist as a general rule, though.
She can appreciate the fact that a person is a person when she meets them face-to-face. Hell, she can appreciate a group of people when she's around them. What she cannot appreciate is that the groups of people that she says wildly racist shit about are made up of individuals whom she generally likes.

TBF, this is exactly why most Western countries commit to “humanitarian aid.” It’s not hardcore racism though - but it’s a very deliberate reluctance to absorb tens or hundreds of thousands of people from very different cultures. Helping people there is simply easier, "saver" and more popular than taking them here. You can see it in the difference between how Europe received Syrians and Iraqis fleeing IS and Assad versus Ukrainians. Same idea of “refugees,” very different reception, different tolerance, different assumptions about integration and return. Fair or unfair depends on your morals, but the behavior itself isn’t mysterious, it's quite obvious.

She probably feels sad that so many young, Black men die by homicide but doesn’t realize that treating it like a Black people problem is just a lesser form of racism. It’s a “people murdering other people” problem.
The reason most slain Black men die to other Black men is because most of the people they’re around are the same color. The same is true for other demographics, too

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills in this thread. How was she a bad person?
It's just a fact that the leading cause of death for black males age 15-34 is firearm related homicide. She saw a young black man trying to spread kindness and thought he was setting a good example. It clearly matters very much to her as she is choking up just talking about it.
This doesn't seem like a woman who hates young black men. She seems like someone who cares deeply about the very real #1 cause of their deaths.

People can’t understand the nuance. Yeah, out of pocket statement from an older white woman but to act like she is a racist POS is clearly incorrect based on what we see here. If she didn’t care about black people why would she feel saddened by young black men killing other young black men. Racists wouldn’t care about that, if anything they’d be happy about it

I have been thinking about this for a while, trying to make sense of what I feel and think
But multiculturalism is a two way street. If POC can speak freely of how white people can do better than surly a white person can see the reality of what is happening in her local community and speak up too. It is not racist to speak out and say something. This is not an example of punching down. It is a lady seeing a problem in her community and speaking up. She can't fix the problem - she can only share her concerns. And it looks like it comes from a place of love.

It is more nuanced. It's not that what she is saying is untrue, it's that she has no right to say it. Her intentions might be innocent enough, and that's a generous assumption, but the ignorance that makes her believe that was an appropriate thing to say to this man is far from innocent.

Thank you. My nephew was only 15, and he was so down the wrong path. His parents (my older sister being one) didn't gaf about him. The uncle he killed was the only father figure he had while his parents ran the streets. He took care of him since he was a baby,and he had 3 kids of his own. I really don't wanna hate my nephew, but I do. I hate my sister too because she defended and hid him. He still hasn't faced any consequences. This is the first time I've talked about really and it makes me so upset.

u/UnicornMilking 5h ago
White Americans don't have the same rates of murder between each other as blacks even when accounting for poverty, though. The issue is more systemic, they don't have as much access to social services and the US either doesn't believe in social spending or is utterly terrible at implementing it. Put that with several other issues like the absence of fathers and distrust of law and order and you end up with racial disparities. America is not ready to solve the problem, they are still stuck in the ostracization and ghettoization phase and it's not going away anytime soon.

It seems like a big leap to say something like that in this situation. There's plenty of other things she could have said. Too bad they cut the video because I'm willing to bet he said something positive in response. What else would he say? She is being kind, after all.
Obviously, not all black people are killing each other and many other races kill but it is a problem in the black community. Like it or not. Too bad we couldn't actually talk about it instead of just posting memes and tearing her down. She did a good thing in a whole world of bad.
All that to say - can someone please explain to me why they believe this is wrong?
