Black, Asian, Mexican, and Indian etc. billionaires should use their wealth to help minority communities, especially if they are “new money” and didn’t come from wealthy families, but they are classist and don’t care about the poor people in their own group.
There should be no such thing as billionaires.

Okay but how many rich white people help the communities they came from? It does happen and I love hearing about it, but it should happen a lot more.
So I think it’s really anyone… they get that “fuck you” money and that’s what “fuck you” money means. It’s a blanket statement, it means they can afford to not care what you think about it. And they don’t.
But also, consider the distribution of wealth like a pyramid. You have the working class at the bottom, the middle class on the way up, near the top you have rich people, and at the very top you have royalty, I don’t mean like the King of England, I mean people who are so rich they don’t worry about shit. Guys like Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, etc. So you think the guys at the top should help the ones on the bottom, but, to what end? Honestly, once you start getting up the pyramid, I think you should be helping people below you. I think trickle down should work but it kind of has to be everyone. Those at the top should give more, but maybe everyone should give some. Nobody should go hungry at least. Problem is, people are kinda shit.
