So yes, it is American for wealthy people of privilege to fail to understand how lucky they are.
So rich people should have no concern for less fortunate/poor/oppressed people because they're lucky? Because he's not saying he's the oppressed person.
You could argue whether you think people of color are oppressed or whether his actions will help solve that any but saying he's rich so can't speak up for poor/oppressed people is just wrong. Isn't a NYC billionaire running for president as the voice of the common American?

If he means to say he feels lucky but understands others are not, then that's great. In fact I think that understanding is the first step for him doing something actually meaningful to change the upward possibilities of people who are truly are in need of better education and jobs.
But I don't read any of what he's said as any of that. His rhetoric appears to be empty social signalling. He is not offering to significantly invest his own fortune or time to help the truly disadvantaged. He's not even talking about the types of violence and want that are must urgent in his targeted minority population.
As a whole his comments appear to completely lack the ethics you wish to give them.
