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.

How do you quantify the financial oppression if not with financial status?

Yeah, so oppressed people should be compensated. I'm glad we agree
