Harvey’s Introductions

It used to be that we sought to create “equality of opportunity” for black people as the ideal end state – eliminating any legal or structural impediments to education, jobs or housing. Many of us believe we have basically achieved this result. But, but achieving equality of opportunity has not resulted in equality in outcomes. As a result, the goal posts have been moved from achieving equality to achieving equity – meaning equality of outcomes by race. Progressive Democrat policies and social warriors have claimed the disparity in outcomes is evidence of structural racism, so deeply embedded, that it cannot even be defined, described or illustrated. Hence their demands have now changed to achieving equity. This change is dangerous and morally bankrupt. It will help keep blacks in this country eternally as a victim class and exacerbate race relations. If you don’t believe this has happened just look at all Biden’s appointments where has put, as a priority, achieving racial equity in the State Department, the Federal Reserve, Labor Department, EPA and every other branch of government. The only way this kind of equity is possible is with complete and total government control of our lives.
