Well that certainly is a take
I'd be fairly surprised if wealthy suburbanites are donating to inner city black charities, especially this one

Bail funds were widely publicized by rolling stone and others.

Okay? Not sure how that ties the donations to wealthy suburbanites. Unless that's not the point you're trying to make

Rolling stone is popular among wealthy suburbanites.
Basically the hippy boomers who now hold a lot of wealth.

You know what isn't popular among wealthy boomer suburbanites? Black criminals
Still not buying this narrative

Anecdotal but I know a lot of wealthy suburbanites that donated to these bail funds.
It was a way they could say they "did something " that didn't involve actually interacting with poor minorities.

Wealthy Suburbanites: The city is a crime infested hellscape I avoid at all costs
also Wealthy Suburbanites: Cash bail is discriminatory and infringes on the civil rights of low income minorities. I will donate to fight this injustice so those accused of crimes can walk free until their day of court
Make it make sense

More of a
"We acknowledge there's a problem here but don't really want to get our hands dirty and would prefer to just throw money at the issue"
Similar to how they need to get their house painted but don't want to get paint on their nice clothes

also Philadelphians: how dare you rich snobby suburbanites donate to Philadelphia non profits?!?

1.5 million people have a variety of opinions and it isn't always black and white.

Wouldn't it be reasonable to assume that a large portion of cash donations to a charity are made by people who can afford to do it?
