So let us talk about charities—unless I’m banned.

I have not done anything that a black or an Asian could have done in the USA, ALL legal—so why am I hated to say I support my own white, blond, blue eyed kind?

Over my last 35 years of great wealth I have funneled millions to WHITE only charities. Over five charities I have started by myself and I paid all the legal cost to be sure I’m legal.

This has nothing to do with my business life. As I see no color in making money. But I want my white race to prosper by the next generation and my wealth is put to that end—ALL by USA Laws, legal, that you blacks hate.

I do not get it, explain it to me, why should I support a black hair lip weak child that is destined to die by the age of three, when I can support a healthy white child to be portentously a world leader by the mid 30’s  
and more GREAT life to come for the many goods?

I do not get it, why am I counted wrong? The filthy rich are not counted wrong, but only if you do not get the charitable bucks—YEAH die you bastard as the rich will prevail no matter how you count it. I can not save every one so I select and support what seems fitting to me.  
And YES with my money, and great cash flow, I make life and death decisions. Why are not blacks doing the same thing? I do not get it—I honestly don’t.

I love my white kind, I love the deep blue eyes looking back at me and the white mentality that says we ARE the very best, and the big bucks to back us up, be they Russian or French, we say to each other, “WE LIVE and NONE has ever stopped us TO THIS GENERATION.”

AND BY THIS board, I’m a GD racist to be banned— I THINK NOT! NOT if there is any intellectual honesty in the Mods—I suppose they should testify against themselves if they say other wise.

So the argument is: Why do you support your own kind? And what benefits do you hope achieve being objective.

I put my money, my hard earned cash no matter how you want to count it, where my big fat mouth is—can YOU do the same in support of YOUR race?

And last of all where is your human decency, at what point would YOU trade dollars for truth and facts?  
Don

Somehow I doubt the story. Define “great wealth”. How did you get it? I sense you lack at least one of the prerequisites for great upward mobility in society, so I’m guessing if you’ve got it, you were born with it. What “legal cost” was there? How about some numbers for us, how much cheese are we talking about here?

AKA racist organizations. Funding a hate/terrorist group isn’t actually “charity”, you know.

Because the poor black kid probably needs it more. And because I somehow doubt your judgment as to whether or not someone will end up a world leader, much less a good one.

“Whites”, whether you like it or not are not “the very best”. They just came from a region that got lucky and peaked for a few centuries during a period of major technological progress.

And what is my “own kind”?

Races are just arbitrary distinctions, best forgotten.

White only charities. I’m sorry: “WHITE only charities”, now there is an oxymoron for the ages.

I have brown hair and brown eyes, so I guess I’d better go set up a charity for my own kind since I’m clearly not going to get anything out of **Don**.

I support animal focused charities because by and large humans are cruel, evil and disgusting.

My own kind? The human race is my own kind. The reasons why people of different colour tend to do poorly or well in life are down to unequal limitations or opportunities that have been made or offered by the human race, so it’s up to the human race to put those right, so that all people have equal opportunity to fulfil their potential.

What if I were to give my vast fortunes (like, supervast) only to groups that aren’t like me - say, women with large breasts.

Does that make me a bad person?

What if I make them fill out forms to get their grants? What if they have to wear tank tops and jump on trampolines?

At what point does my generosity make me a bad person?

Do whatever you want, Don. Set up a charity for left handed red heads. Nothing wrong with it. It’s better if they actually need assistance: a charity only for the children of those making 38 million and above will tend to not actually assist anyone.

Now, you? You’ve got problems. But they’re personal ones, and I don’t really feel it’s appropriate to make aspersions on your character. But they do kind of shout out loudly.

And those charities you donate to? Are they charities, or branches of the KKK, or charitable branches of the KKK? You’re being a bit unclear here. I could donate all I wanted to The Ancient Order of Hibernians, and I don’t think anyone here would think the tiniest bit less of me. And that’s a racially limited charity. Now, technically, black people could join, if they were Irish Catholic and had irish ancestors, but the irish part is the important part there. Not Irish? Not in.

Where you placing your money, Don? I’ll admit I tend to fund causes more than ancestry, myself. My money goes to the EFF, where I have a personal connection, and Doctors without Borders.

Is this the same guy that claimed to make a lot of money by selling fruits out of a wheelbarrow in black neighborhoods (He got the fruit by mowing lawns in white neighborhoods).

I don’t know how this is a great debate. Frankly, I think its just bullshit. This poster has acquired that disease common among conservatives. No, I’m not talking about racism (although he is that), I’m talking about the perception that wealth implies virtue.
