re: Colin Kap converted to Islam and is engaged to BLM activist

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.

I think you may be intentionally missing my point or inferring things I have not said. Rich people have every right to say whatever they want. But he appears to have lumped himself into a disadvantaged group with whom he really does not "enjoy" the same disadvantages. I think he's also making some highly questionable claims with teh BLM rhetoric - almost none of which is morally inclusive enough to be useful.

If he cares about policy then he needs to make specific policy proposals. If he cares about people of privilege using their privilege to help the less fortunate then he needs to use his own substantial privilege to make concrete changes instead of shunting responsibility. With his power should come a sense of responsibility that exceeds rhetoric.
