Ethics apply for everyone equally regardless of their social-economic status. Defending them is senseless

Yeah... i never said otherwise?

 

but what is u ethical about a gift in the first place? 

 

Its unethical if they used fundation money as i said but if they used their own to thank them for being there i still dont see the problem

[CannaeDrive 3,412]

It's basically an other form of corruption i.e. buying some sort of influence with "important" people to further their goal, whatever that is, albeit a socially acceptable corruption because it is charity related.

Because it's grotesque hun. 

 

What so Grotesque  about it?

This reminds me with that one line that were said by Solis from Desperate Housewives: 

And based on y’all reaction to their lavish lifestyles, apparently there is truth to that.

I bet you wouldn’t. 

I don’t. While not being as wealthy as The Carters, I live in comfortable life and understand  these kind of things. People play differently when they are super wealthy.

But how is it different from a foundation sending you a t-shirt or a wristband when you donated? This is just their standard. Just because its a luxury for us doesn't mean its a luxury for them. I don't expect them to be giving out t shirts

This is what i meant by different standard and someone here mistook it for ethics thats not what i was talking about when i said they have different standards

 

what we consider a gift to them is literally nothing. Like the gifts ud give to kids at a kids party vs adults at a fancy wedding isnt the same

 

in this case what a wealthy person would consider a gift is different

 

again, as long as the money wasnt taken from the foundation for the gifts, and it was payed for by the hosts. I really dont get what the issue is

 

ppl hate on rich individuals simply for being rich. Duh of course their lifestyle and standards will be different than ours

 

if u wanna get angry, get angry at the system and the politics that allows for such insane income and wealth inequality. Dont hate on the individuals themselves if they didnt do anything wrong

 

someone being rich in itself doesnt make them bad imoral ppl and they shouldnt have to refrain from spending to not offend someone

 

actually... being lavish like this at least puts money back into the economy with things and services they buy....

 

if rich ppl dont live like they are rich thats even worse cuz then the money really only stays hoarded at the top even more and never trickles down at all

“You scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours” people are not friends. That is power, influence, a strategic alliance. Very common in people who play games.

the issue is that in an invitation for a charity gala (remember, charity is about helping disadvantaged people) it basically seems like they're just bragging about how much money they have by giving out watches for free. sure they can buy all their friends watches if they want, but at a charity event? really? it just feels like they're rubbing it in the faces of the people they're 'trying to help'

These are pocket gifts by wealthy ppl standards. They are not buying them a private island

 

a rolex to them is like if ppl like is got free tshirts or thermobottles in an event like this which is common btw

If you can’t see anything beyond the insensitivity and tackiness of the situation, just take your privileged ass and go.

Why are u calling me privedged????????? U dont know what ive gone thru the last 18 months financially and what im going thru even now

[JohnnyVersace 9,030]

You have to entice donors to support your charity. Whether that's through Rolex's, dinners, or say Lady Gaga performing at the Met Gala in 2009 (  ), it's all the same. 

I swear some of y'all truly don't understand how this world, or the industry works. If you think that they paid for every single Rolex you're delusional. They were likely a sponsor and donated the watches in order to have their name prominently featured on the promotional material and/or stage. 

...which in turn entices donors to give more and more money to a cause that helps people in need. It's ****ing damned if you do, damned if you don't with you guys. 

[HoneyB 27,926]

Y’all wouldn’t be complaining if you were rich and got a Rolex for a gift

Money changes people trust me

Also Jay and Bey have been constantly helping others through charity and other things helping impoverished communities but the one time they do this it’s “TaCkY” and “ShaMeful”

Oh brother give me a break y’all are never satisfied

The fraudulency  .. it’s almost comical at this point

What Insensitivity? 

I mean is it really that hard to understand? When you are wealthy you have different standards and ball game.

Their rich donators would laugh and feel unappreciated if they were given less than a bottle of super expensive wine. Which making Rolex watches a decent keepsake after donating tons to their charity event. They are not there to donate $100, they did much more than that. We are talking hundred grands worth of donation here. Just take it as they kinda “buy” those Rolexes with their donation money.  Easy. 

You would be surprised how common is this in that circle.  Not just exclusive to The Carters. Like, OK if you don’t get it, it’s fine. But don’t get angry at them for something you don’t fully get just because of your own personal situation.
