    Equity: Giving people the resources and support they need so everyone can be on equal footing and compete on equal footing. Equity means we all end up in the same place.

    Sure, but losers figure bringing everyone else down to your level makes you feel better.
    To be a well off Russian you only have to make about $25,000 a year. Socialism makes everyone losers. That makes losers feel like they are average.
    Watching Jerry Springer makes losers feel better about their lives.

    There is no such thing as equality.................especially in a democrat world. They have their overlords and whip handlers. They obviously aren't equal to the people they lord over.
    Everyone is equal. Some are just more equal than others.

    Kamala Harris’ ‘Equality vs. Equity’ video endorses injustice and discrimination

    Everything is wrong with that summary, including the grating choice to begin a sentence with the conjunction “so.” Harris explicitly endorses equality of outcome over equality of opportunity, mangling the definition of the term along the way. Equality does not mean giving every person “the same amount.” Senior citizens do not receive the same amount of Social Security. In a just society, each person receives precisely what his or her actions deserve. Harris’ view of equity erases the human person from the equation, drowning him in an impersonal, impermeable, and all-encompassing group identity.

    Harris’ discourse also leaves another reality unspoken: To bring people of two different levels to the same result, you must treat them unequally. You must apply different standards to their actions. You must disregard justice and believe that the ends justify any means. Others have said this explicitly. Much of Harris’ definition of equity is plagiarized from the popularizers of critical theory. Chief among these is Ibram X. Kendi, who explained his vision for creating “equity” in his bestseller, How to be an Antiracist:

    [R]acial discrimination is not inherently racist. The defining question is whether the discrimination is creating equity or inequity. If discrimination is creating equity, then it is antiracist. If discrimination is creating inequity, then it is racist. Someone reproducing inequity through permanently assisting an overrepresented racial group into wealth and power is entirely different than someone challenging that inequity by temporarily assisting an underrepresented racial group into relative wealth and power until equity is reached. The only remedy to racist discrimination is antiracist discrimination. The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination.

    This is the concrete reality hidden within Harris’ theoretical musings. Kamala Harris’ view of “equity” over “equality” necessarily entails “future discrimination.”...
