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.

That goes back to whether his actions and words will bring about anything meaningful, they will not, but it doesn't have anything to do with whether his position in life excludes him from "advocating" for more oppressed people. There's many more appropriate criticisms than he's rich so what's he complaining about.
