Some organizations, for example, seek equity for Native Americans — TLCD1996
I'm fairly confident that some of these thoughts relate to the concept of liberty as sought by America's founding fathers — TLCD1996
I'm just saying that we shouldn't define the people who need help by their racial features nor offer help exclusively to people based on their race. — Judaka
But a more fundamental problem with "equity" seems to be that is is difficult to define and even more difficult to implement. To begin with, who decides? It looks like the group that shouts loudest or gets the support of the media, big tech and big bucks tends to win the day. — Apollodorus
At Race Forward, we define racial equity as both an outcome and a process. As an outcome, we achieve racial equity when race no longer determines one's socioeconomic outcomes; when everyone has what they need to thrive, no matter where they live. As a process, we apply racial equity when those most impacted by structural racial inequity are meaningfully involved in the creation and implementation of the institutional policies and practices that impact their lives.
And that doesn't sound like equity! But then again, we need to shout sometimes; on a micro scale, if we've fallen and we're being trampled in a crowd, we'll die if we don't shout. But we're not asking everyone to stop what they're doing and help us in every way. We have a need which isn't being recognized, so we shout that get that need heard so it can be met.
