Over the last year, a 35-year-old West Philadelphia resident came to the realization that, while he worked hard for his $120,000-a-year corporate salary, he didn’t necessarily earn it.
After all, he figured, his white privilege paved the way for his many advantages: a college education, limited debt, and that well-paying job.
“It’s not like I deserve all this money and someone else doesn’t,” he said. “There’s no reason for it other than skin color and forced oppression that’s not that far in the past.”
So, he decided to start giving it away — to people of color, as reparations.
He claims he now donates about two-thirds of his annual income — tens of thousands of dollars — to a range of initiatives. He participates in Safety Pin Box, a subscription service to support black women (and, some would say, to assuage white guilt). He donates to people who request help in reparations-focused Facebook groups. He’ll give a $20 tip on a $6 Uber ride if the driver is a person of color. Or, if someone he knows runs into financial trouble, he’ll simply give them the cash. The man asked not to be named in this article because he doesn’t want to claim any credit for repaying what is, in his view, an old debt he had no right to incur.

Nope. I don’t have any ancestors that were slave owners.
More wack jobs.
What a Sap....he’ll be giving away more money soon enough - at the point of a gun...
It might be worth giving blacks reparations just to shut them up. If that worked I would be for it. Latinos don’t have a right to anything but still are expecting free stuff. Ugh!!!!
No name.
Fake news.

Then he should tell his boss so he can be fired for not doing his job.

Fool and his money.
A fool and his money are soon parted
I do and I don't care. I inherited nothing from them and I never owned a slave.

Note that this so-called generous guy wishes to remain anonymous.
I suppose we could ALL anonymously claim to be donating to our pet causes.
Had it right the first time. It is contracts to it’s
If something belongs it’s its.
Why didn’t he just give up his job?
