    Sure, we can do both.

    Why don’t you want to give to poor people who also have been victimized by systemic racism?

      Giving to poor people regardless of race includes economic victims of racism. It doesn’t matter if you’re poor because you or your ancestors experienced racism or if you’re poor because of more broad economic oppression and bad luck, it doesn’t make you any more or less deserving of help either way.
