Jews helped found the NAACP, Schindler was a Nazi, people outside of Louisiana give millions to LA flood victims. His actions and words are nowhere close to that but you don't have to be a member of a disadvantaged group to advocate for it.

Either I'm not being clear or you're of a mindset to miss my larger point.

I have nothing against that. In fact, I think to be truly moral when you advocate you should advocate for issues that do not personally benefit your person or your fortune - that makes it unselfish. It is kind of sad that more people don't participate in charity that is that kind of unselfish - bereft of personal payout in social capital or peer acceptance.

Back to CK. But Kaep probably (on the basis of this public rhetoric) thinks of himself as very disadvantaged when he is not. He grew up essentially privileged and white. He probably has some social maladjustment from that. I think what he's doing right now is probably some sort of social catharsis for him - trying to embrace or be embraced by his less privileged teammates

That would probably be fine if it were being leveraged in a way that was either inclusive or productive because he offered personal investment to reach people who are truly in need - he offers neither so far as I can see.
