"When people get used to preferential treatment, equal treatment seems like discrimination." Thomas Sowell
This is what I have seen more and morein the public school I work in.

"The new black conservatives assume that without affirmative action programs, white Americans will make choices on merit rather than on race. Yet they have adduced absolutely no evidence for this: Hence, they are either politically naïve or simply unconcerned about black mobility. Most Americans realize that job-hiring choices are made both on reasons of merit and on personal grounds. And it is this personal dimension that is often influenced by racist perceptions." (Unmasking The Black Conservatives) -Cornel West
@@nickcrayne854 what racist? Show me one
That comment could apply to everyone in the United States
Equity is approved discrimination.
Equity=Institutionalized Discrimination ... literally, meritless!
Discrimination against white men
bingo
Equity literally means 'Equality of Outcome'.
When pushed in a social context it has ALWAYS lead to mass murder and genocide.
The push for Equity is also the reason for the trans indoctrination of our children.
So.... hatred against whites? Gotcha.
Good on you Forbes!
Lowering the standards for certain groups doesn't magically fix the problem. It will result in an even bigger performance gap. The group with the higher bar will work harder while the group with the lower bar has even less motivation to work hard.
its not about lowering standards its about realizing individuals like a math student might need additional resources like after class tutoring to reach that standard I swear for people who read and watch Forbes y'all sure are dumb.
Faxxxx doing so could end up showing a difference is in ability between ethnicities . This would create a bigger race gap. Good idea 👍
Cause lowering the testing expectations lowers the required capability of the student, reduced required capability can and will kill people in a myriad of ways depending on their profession.
The lowered expectations on black students in medical fields has killed people and ruined the careers of otherwise rather capable people.
Do you want to intentionally set up minorities to be killing people with their incompetence because they weren't tested hard enough?
@@andrewgreeb916 "The lowered expectations on black students in medical fields has killed people and ruined the careers of otherwise rather capable people."
If you can provide data on that bullshit you just spouted that would be great
Exactly why Karl Marx said socialism would not work in reality! Most socialists never read enough of his comments.
Equity is discrimination.
Aye: Equity=Discrimination.
It sure is.
Read “behind the green mask” to see who’s behind this and to stand up to the tyrants
They're ok with discrimination if it means beating the white supremacist patriarchy and elevating those considered to be at the bottom so those at the "top" (white people as a group, those who are qualified) can be kicked off a cliff.
Equity is Violence.
Someone has to be the kulaks (sic) ☠️
Equality is equal. Equity is a free ride for a certain group. That is racism.
oh crap ,dont say that ,the liberal left karens will come unstuck !!
Good ol white folks did get a free ride huh smh crazy
💯👈🏻
Equality=Equal Opportunity; based on merit; Equity=Discrimination, based on mandated equal outcomes.
People who accuse other people of being racist, but they’re actually racist themselves.
That’s exactly what we’re dealing with and it’s insane .
We all seen this coming when children were being given trophies for just showing up
I like how he changed what the graphic represents.
He said the graphic on the right is "equality of opportunity" when in reality the graphic means "equal outcomes regardless of anything."
The graphic on the left just means everyone is given the same thing without discrimination. Interesting how the goal post moves.
I grew up poor with an alcoholic father. I went to bed hungry more times than I care to remember. There were very few opportunities for anybody where I grew up. So when I was old enough I joined the USN. I applied myself and did everything I could to better myself. I used the education benefits available to me to get 2 college degrees. After 25 years on active duty I retired and then became a high school teacher. Everything I have I got based on merit and hard work, nobody gave me anything.
That is the American Dream!
I respect you. That is what America was built on. People making the dream come true, not expecting everything to be handed to them.
Equity is a euphemism for discrimination: Equity=Discrimination.
That is a very inspiring story!
So you don't bully smart kids and pad pretty girls grades I'm sure
@@yyyuiu5773 I'm sure he's not a s...-eating troll either.
Nobody gives a lick what color their pilot is, they just want to arrive safely!!
I care. I don't want any affirmative action people in charge of my life.
Who even sees in the cockpit?
@doc savage Can we still use that word? 😂
Never seen a pilot or co pilot don't know if white black brown or a woman I know that I got to where I was going
The only ones who care what color the pilot is are racists. Golly gee, I wonder who keeps making a big deal out of that?
One day, when the heart surgeon is hovering over you with scalpel in hand, you had better hope that he is in that position because he actually knows what he is doing and is not part of some equity program that reduced standards just to get certain people into that role. Same goes for airline pilots, the engineer that designed the bridge that you are driving over and many, many other jobs.
Equity programs have been around for decades and there is an overwhelming body of evidence that they do not reduce the quality of work done.
Not like it is now. Wasn't done in the airline industry, or the medical industry. Relaxing standards makes everyone, including you, less safe.
Let’s think about you are saying together, because clearly you didn’t think before you hit ‘enter’. Presumably, the surgeon holding the scalpel should’ve been trained on any and every aspect of the surgery that they’re about to perform BEFORE they grabbed the scalpel, correct? Maybe the barrier of entry into the programs (in this case medical school) is relaxed a little bit, but they’re still going to have to do the course work, residencies, and practice before they become a doctor, correct? Same goes with the other jobs you mentioned, no?
Not to mention that there are numerous stories about doctors who don’t look like their patients, literally ignoring, or not taking symptoms seriously (quick Google search of “Black women in labor, symptoms ignored” shows how common that example actually is).
If you’re that opposed to preferential treatment based on race, you’re literally centuries too late. This isn’t about that, as much as it’s about righting wrongs of the past, that have generational consequences.
@@tinaarko6625 How was it done before? And how was it done now?
@@derekchance3700 Yes, but they had to significantly lower the bar to get that result.

Will it extend to maintenance crews? Or is it just a dude with lipstick handing out peanuts?
@@purplemonkey649 good one!
Isnt it obvious b y now? When the black guy said "we want the future to look less like the people in this room" when he was referring to a room of majority white politicans in a majority white country, he was saying "we want to the future to be less white in this country". That's genocide talk. its like going to zimbabwe with a bunch of white people and saying "we want the future here to be less black". Wake up.
Equity is based on making everyone as dumb or slow as the weakest link on the team.
Equality means everyone has an equal chance to be the best based on ability and competence.
And.... effort :)
yes, that will be the evolutionary outcome of equity. It doesn't matter, if we all fall behind former standards, we all will be saved by equity departments. The dumbing down of humanity.
Free lobotomies for smart people!!! 🤣
which is why the left is so focused on equity
The unequal boxes are that belief system's version of an IQ TEST.
I like how Mr. Washington referred to the winner's podium depicted on that paper as the "playing field". Podiums are deliberately unequal; it helps display how some people are better than others after playing on a level field.
Big facts, if you need something done well it helps to know whose 'winning' in that industry and work with them
Freaking AMEN! Im SOOOOOO relieved that this man said this in an open public forum. "I just cared about whether or not someone can do the job..." That's it! I don't see any color when it comes to completing tasks or jobs. Can it be done safely, effectively, and efficiently? Then you're my guy! I don't even care if they were a college buddy. If the rando person shows up and can put perform my friend, then sorry brother... But I have a business to run. Nothing personal at all.
Anyone that hires an employee under “equity” at a job and as an end result hurts people due to “equity” needs to be held accountable. Fact is, the best person needs to be in place, not elevate someone for “equity.”
An equity hire air traffic controller will have a much better chance of killing hundreds of people with just one mistake.
Agree...hire the person that is more qualified for the job
JD Vance went too easy on this clown. He should have asked him if he demands a diversity hire surgeon or the "best" surgeon when his kid goes under the knife.
Stop being racist and accept the fact that blacks are inferior and need extra support just to barely function in a society they offer nothing to but crime, destruction, constant strife and an awful culture.
@@stanleyclark923always the example I use along with a person's family being on a plane with a pilot
What they always forget to mention is that it isn't putting people on equal footing by simply lifting some up. It's bringing some down, forcefully, and redistributing it to others.
so true and that is why communism will never work... why put in effort to become the slave to the lazy through 'redistribution'...
As can be seen in some countries politician's ie. SK,SA,Zim ect.
Explain exactly how giving disadvantaged minorities opportunities, "forcefully" "brings some down". For who and how does this happen exactly?
Yes, the fellow on the top of the hill has a shackle and chain around his ankle. It's a variation on the theme of racism. Now we are in new era where government institutionalized racism/discrimination is celebrated. I am honestly stunned that the folks who CLAIM to be against slavery and racism are actually FOR it. It's just a matter of who is empowered to exercise the power over others.
@@bulwerboys6011
That’s not what we are talking about. The chart is not expressing equal opportunities that’s not the point of the chart. And lowering standards only makes the travel more dangerous. People already have equal opportunity. Life may simply not flow in such a way as to wash someone into completion of a goal. If you want to be an airplane pilot put in a lot of work and effort. Some people have to put in more than others because of intelligence or because of life circumstances. It’s not society’s fault that someone was born without any hands or feet. A blind person cannot operate a printing press. Life is unfair. The more that people understand life isn’t fair the more it will seem fair because they will know what to expect what they can do realistically in their lives.
I love those questions because the last time I flew in a airplane I didn't see the pilot and copilots I always assumed that they know how to fly and get me there safely it doesn't matter to me what they look like as long as the plane doesn't crash
When I discussed with a professor an ugly situation I experienced regarding a doctor appointment, the prof reminded me that "Someone always finishes at the top of their class and someone always finishes at the bottom. Always try to find someone who finished in the top 25% of their class."
Those are who should be hired for traffic controllers, pilots, doctors, train engineers, etc. It would also go a long way in encouraging youth to strive to be the best.
Consider this - if the pass mark is 70%, and everyone gets 80-100%, that means getting an 80% would make you the bottom of your class - but still very good. So that's where this idea falters. What you really need is a strong minimum standard to enter those fields.
same go for plumer.s and electriction and teacher i never learn to spell in school i was given a d are c and passed to the next grade
Yeah let's just fire everyone except the 10% who are great at things what can go wrong.
The guy that got D's in med school is still called doctor.....
I worked for Flying Tiger Freight Airline at Los Angeles International Airport for decades. I never saw racism, of any kind in any part of their hiring practices. We had everything, including all genders, races and ages from Vice Presidents, pilots, flight attendants, cargo handlers and all administrative positions as we were a global freight company with military contracts. I am not saying there is no racism anywhere in our country but the constant emphasis on gender and racial issues takes us back into the realm of the divide we find ourselves in today.
That's why the race hustlers will IGNORE YOU.
I worked for FedEx 35 years and seen it many many times.
V.P. told us if you know any female A&P she has a job.
It looks better on federal contracts to have females ETC.
Racism exists, and it's colorblind, as far as who the actual racists are. But it's like saying we have a murder epidemic because a very small portion of the population like to kill people.
There is a push for more Black females to pilot airliners. Are you aware of this? Cause it's exactly what JD Vance is talking about.
Well said. Saying equity doesn’t exist is crazy. America is capitalism. The only color that matters is green. Do y fall for this Us bs Them mentality. Especially when so many examples show otherwise. Look at our Supreme Court, White House. Maybe in corporate culture there are not many minorities at the top, but you don’t just give someone a position because of their race. If it’s your company you put the strongest at the top. Because they are there to make you green. People in current generations are lost. No one’s against st you except those yelling that they are on YOUR SIDE. Just be the best you can be. Times will get hard and there can be ugly people out here but let’s not make those types give is the impression everyone in that race is like that. We all are basically the same. Sht sitting down and hate paying taxes. Let’s build our way up from that commonality :)
“A society that puts equality before freedom will get neither. A society that puts freedom BEFORE equality will get a high degree of both.”

I really miss Uncle Milton.
They are not even talking about equality. Equality is equality of opportunity, equity is equality of outcome.
Yeah and his economic measures that led to further monopolization, austerity, wealth disparity, and Alan greenspan...cute quote tho
It's heart breaking how little we learned from that man.
@@adenizenabroad9593 what exactly do you think is wrong with wealth disparity? Any attempt to correct this would equate to redistribution which only serves to disincentivise innovation and entrepanureship
Fun Fact:
If you look at that chart/picture you can see that all the people on both Equality and Equity sides start at the same "bottom" or ground level. The people pushing for Equity, are the people who got to their positions during the time when the country abides by Equality, and are the ones at the top right now. The Equity they want, makes it so the highest level you can reach is LOWER than what they have achieved.
💯💥🔥🇺🇸 right on target JD Vance, this is serious. There is no substitute for real experience, real knowledge. Aeronautics & Medical jobs are a matter for life & death, these jobs can not be filled by biased laws.

I tried to apply for an FAA position as a Center ATC. I had high test scores and personal recommendations from current controllers. I was told that unless I suddenly became an Asian Woman that I had no chance. Affirmative Action ruined this organization and we don't need more of it under a different banner.
Well that can’t possibly be true, they discriminate more against Asians.. or are you saying you didnt make the bar set by Asian women?😂
@@TheFi1thyCasual 🤡🤡
Happened to me but for Firefighter in 1982 and was told "You're one of the most qualified applicants but, you're a white male and I can't hire you". That's when I became a Republican.
it's not even "affirmative action"...it's discrimination based on race and gender
Too bad. Dems are in charge now. Deal with it.
We want them to, "stand on shoulders of giants, and call themselves tall." Great line.
Equality means everyone has the same opportunity for success. Equity means putting more value in one group over another. So, now I have to ask: 1) Who gets the preferential treatment 2) Who gets to decide that group/groups 3) What is the cost?
it means everyone is treated like crap except the thieves on top.
At my grade school, we have the poster on equality and equity that is much better depicted.
One half of the poster has three boys (or girls) of three different heights standing on a level grass ground facing a wooden fence and beyond the fence is a baseball game. The taller boy can easily see over the fence. The middle boy has to stand on his toes and is straining over the fence to see. The third boy is also standing on his toes, but no matter what he does, he is way too short to see the game beyond the fence.
On the other side of the poster is the same three boys, but this time the middle boy and the short boy are standing on boxes of two different sizes where they are large enough for the two to easily over the fence.
No one is bringing anyone down. Not one boy is negatively affected by the others. ALL can see the game comfortably.
Why is that a problem?
Are you against the fact that two boys needed help to see the game?
@@kbpeters4246 Because that's a cartoon and only one way to draw it. It is depicted as if there is no cost to the "equity", but there always is. You perhaps have seen the other one, where the short boy is standing, the middle sized boy has his feet cut off and the tall boy has his legs cut off at the knee. They are all the same height and have achieved equity.
@@DragNetJoe Oh Lordy, dude, life lesson can be easily depicted in allegories, aphorism, parables, proverbs, cartoons (used for decades), historical artworks, Bible verses, etc.
Why would anyone cut off anyone's feet or legs when there are far better methods to create equity. What you have proved is there are horrible ways and far better ways to create equity. Our job is to find a better way and not to rely on negative harmful methods.
@@kbpeters4246 you should really speak to someone who has lived in soviet russia, or Cuba, or Venezuela, or Russia. This equity idea you are trying so hard to promote in your well intentioned ignorance has already caused the deaths of over 100 million people over the last century.
The hard truth is that beyond the intrinsic value of human life, we are not equally valuable. The scientists who discovered the cure to polio brought more value to society and humanity at large than the guy who bags your gorceries at your corner store. So why on earth would we live in a society where they are rewarded equally? In what world do people continue to strive for more if they are treated equally to the people who strive for nothing? This is and always has been the problem with this argument which is the core problem with communism and which is why modern communist countries have adopted forms of capitalism (which has created inequality) in order to survive. Equal outcome in inherently against human nature.
When China's revolution promised that everyone would have food, they didnt mention that 40million people would have to starve to death for people to have their "equal share".
Please talk to people who have left these countries for America and ask them the question about equal opportunity vs equal outcome.
In other words , It doesn't matter if you work hard and do a good job, your effectively speaking no better than anybody else. Everybody and everything get dumbed down.
I completely agree with you, J.D. I would think that 99.9% of people really don't care about an airline pilot's race or gender. But what they do care about is whether or not that pilot can safely get them from point A to point B!
I think that more than 1 in every 1000 people care about those things.
@@trwent I certainly do. I refuse to trust my life with affirmative action appointees. That's what they are.
@Chris Sandys Even IF affirmative action is taking place, it does NOT automatically follow that every minority hired for the job is there BECAUSE OF affirmative action. What you (apparently) object to is affirmative action hires, NOT the actual race of the employees per se.
Lower standards to meet quotas for *any* job is a recipe for disaster. I've read a couple of articles about schools getting rid of AP or honor programs because it can make other students feel "lower". Pushing people down rather than helping people up will have a detrimental effect on society at large.
People wonder why our educational systems are a joke that is why. When schools don’t teach their kids or offer them ways to challenge themselves we systematically become stupid
As someone who took and passed AP American History and Cobcurrant Spanish, both helped me save money when it came to paying for college credit. To eliminate thosr classes would hurt kids who financially struggle bit who want a college education. I basically paid my own way through college; in fact my dad was actually OPPOSED to any of us kids going to college. One sister took out loans (still owes on those), another sister served in the Army, & I just worked abd did school kinda slowky. But that AP History class saved me from having to take 2 college classes, which saved me hundreds if dollars, so I could move on. I never looked down on those who didn't take the class or the test, & I doubt those who didn't even cared abt AP History, so who does it hurt? The hurt is only in removing advancef classes, not in the offering of them. Sorry if any typos, I'm riding in a moving vehicle.
The government is dumbing down the public schools to keep the mindless drones while the rich will send their children to private schools. You know how it goes keep the rich, rich and the poor poor.
The Senator is full of bs. For one thing the minimum standards are not being breached. The equality/equity chart is bs. The orange color is under dispute and the whole purpose of of the govt intervention in systemic racism is to even out the brown color...which is clearly not to scale. Let's put it another way. In medical terms, can you imagine if hospitals never let residents practice medicine? Because the attendees are the best of the best right? Who cares about their replacements? Every investment requires a sacrifice in the present. To say that the best pool of pilots are white males is bs. The best way to grow the pilot pool is to grow the pool of applicants. The best way to do that is by example...which is diversity hiring. Many diverse would be pilot students wouldn't think that pilot is in the list of eligible careers because they doen't see people like them in that career. That is a very powerful motive. Can you see yourself or your kids as a pro basketball player? Didn't think so. Some fixing needed there too in the reverse direction. Referring to the charts again, the disparity of the brown heights make the required talented and/or grit (orange color) unnecessarily large to overcome the brown advantage.
I wish your last sentence was worded more carefully. It seems almost opposite your valid point vis-à-vis the sentences prior.
Equity HAS NEVER brought the best forward. Go ahead and prove me wrong. 😎👍😂
You're a racist and you're wrong
Haven't you heard of Socialism? It AlWaYs WoRkS. 🤥
💯👈🏻
Kamala Harris and Pete Butigeg! Oh wait, I just proved you right….
Two comments - the nominee seems way better than lots of other nominees - very solid. AND i appreciate the respect the Senator showed. It’s so refreshing.
STILL NOT AT ALL QUALIFIED TO RUN THE FAA!!
"SEEMS" !!!!!! Guess you don't mind getting on an airplane with a captain that was at the bottom of his class just because he "SEEMS" qualified.
Senator J.D. Vance is 100 % CORRECT !
When planes start falling from the sky just remember your safety was less important than the person's qualifications because of their gender, color, sexual orientation, and the other identity politics being used for equity.
Now what is more important? Picking pilots by their skin color or sex with minimal qualifications. Or losing a few hundred lives as collateral damage for the greater good of diversity, inclusion or equity?
That is not an unintended consequence. That is the intended outcome. They mean to do harm.
Or the pilots’ ekg results being loosened to allow them to keep flying, even though they would have failed prior to a certain thing we can’t talk about because P doesn’t like sunlight on their juice.
@@dakotafred1829 If Kamala was a pilot, the pilot seat would have knee rests....
Or when trains start jumping rails? I can think of a lot of places where equity without equality of skill and intelligence could lead to disaster.
What makes this even more worrisome is that when these so called "equity" people are hired no one company can easily fire them because of their incompetence and they can remain incompetent for that same reason.
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS FULL OF THESE PEOPLE AND THEY KNOW YOU CANT TOUCH THEM !!!!
That's been happening for years. The competent people always have to take up the slack of the incompetent ones hired based on factors other than their skills.
Why did white people NEED the law to allow them to fire someone solely because of their race?
Let’s turn this around and hear you justify why you deserved better?
Maybe get an 8th grade education- stop whining like a victim and just admit it- your parent grandparents great grandparents none could be fired because they were white. Yet just 60 years ago- so parents, grandparents, everyone related going back to 1776. Why as of 1963 did white fat arses need the law they could fire by race?
Is that racist?
Are you racist or you wish to condemn the law a mere 1 generation ago- and admit you are better off BECAUSE YOU ARE WHITE
@@troystewart7730 Lies, lies, lies. My father was fired from 3 jobs, and my mother from 2. The companies could give 2 chits what color they were. You believe in lies, you think like a dummy.
Bull$1t. Aviation is merit-based and those not making the grade are soon mustered out. Those who complain the most are the ones who blame others for their own shortcomings.
The search for equality or equity never brings those lacking up, it always pulls those with the desired skills, abilities, accomplish etc. down to the level of the less accomplished. Don’t raise the levels of education, lower the levels of achievement.
I was passed over for a key maintenance position for a major airline, back in 1978 because of affirmative action. When I was told, they asked if I would train the person who was awarded that job ! On the spot, I told them to k*ss mya$$, resigned and lived happily ever after. History will repeat itself.
The pilot of my trans-Atlantic 777 failed the checkride three times but took remedial training and was coached through the eval for a "Pass". I'm so happy that she/it/they is my pilot today....
I failed my first checkride for a PPC because I got super stressed and make a mistake. I went back and retook it and the DPE said he couldn't have flown better than me. A few mistakes doesn't define someone's career.
Edit: I was going to recount the whole checkride to go through it step by step, but then realized this is a youtube comment section and no-one cares. I should mention my claim above isn't entirely true since he said I was in ACS standards for my recovery from unusual attitudes but he wasn't too happy about them. I don't mind this at all though since my organization didn't cover recovery from unusual attitudes in my training for a huge time period between when I was trying to get an open time slot from the DPE and retake the checkride. Now I know to make sure I'm always keeping that stuff in mind for myself, plus I'm super happy I was still within ACS standards anyway.
As a certificated pilot I'll say, Safety and Experience first!
You strawman dumb-dumbs... They're not going to hire unqualified candidates. In fact, the recruiters won't even push unqualified candidates into the hiring manager's candidate pool
As a passenger I very much agree.
As a certificated mechanic I second this.
I retired from a company that hired based on meeting the EOE guidlines, and once a person was hired via those guidlines, they never were fired for incompetence. In fact they would bend over backwards to give that person more leeway and less work responsibility to avoid having to fire them. But someone not hired by those guidlines would get fired for the slightest violation of company policy and/or proceedures.
Same thing they do at the post office
Thats racist.
Damn damn
They did that here in the UK about 20 years in most government offices. Inept personal were never fired but simply moved, many to their own department.
Departments HAVE to have a leader so they were promoted to department heads, with a total employee count of 1.
These people have now shuffled sideways to running actual departments and no-one seems to know why goverment offices are so badly run.
Jeez, I wonder why
I appreciated that mr.Washington actually answered the questions clearly
Absolutely spot on
The problem with the social equity theory is that while you might convince dumb people that they are smart, you won't convince smart people that they are dumb. 🤔
There have been tests and surveys on American college campuses doing exactly that, proving "smart people" they are in fact dumb. They all support "equity" and all the other buzz words as long as "someone" (not them ofc) is paying for it. The moment and I mean the very moment that student is asked to pay for the costs of someone elses equity they extricate themselves from their previous statements quick smart, without actually changing their stance as they are hypocritically impaired.
I guess your statement is a self confession?
What he means is Biden has flooded your system with misfits people who have sold their souls, what will they think when they are found out. 😂😂😂😂 🇦🇺
@@sickofallthecryingbabiesno I think he's talking about you
Or convince the smart people that the dumb people are smart.
When people say, 'thank you for the question Senator' you know a lie is coming.
I think the dude answered honestly, he just hasent thought his policies trhough. This happens.
Yep, and it’s a stall tactic
That's what they say to give them time to frame the lie 🤥
That's a common opening statement predicting answer avoidance. It prevails in questioning progressives.
It’s too late in the ball game to not fully understand a policy
That Equality v. Equity poster chart was very telling. With the Equality side on the left, no one’s telling the person on the lower level to stay there. This is America. You can always make your own opportunity and step up to the next level, but it takes guts and it takes work to do it. With the Equity side on the right, what’s the incentive for a person to work hard and be brave enough to do what it takes to jump up to the next level? Answer: There isn’t any. You can just stay where you are and rely on some outside force or social program to do the “lifting up” for you. That’s the problem. Vance’s issue here is he’s justifiably nervous that the opportunity for people on the lower levels to apply their effort and skill to lift themselves up professionally, socially, and economically is being removed from the individual where it belongs and is being transferred to rest of society to pay for. America is still the land of opportunity and those opportunities are out there for anyone to capitalize on themselves. We don’t have to be spoon fed by people in the political establishment who’ve proven they are not trustworthy enough to shape and mold our society in the name of righteousness, because that word to them as a group is as alien as amebas are to elephants.
I was thinking the same thing. When I see these type of illustrations, I feel like there is something missing from the "Equality" side of it; No one is forcing the "disadvantaged" short person to stay on that box, he could do the extra effort and go find another box or two and raise himself higher than the others...
In fact, the guy working hard on the left will be punished for doing better by being taxed more etc.
I am fine with supporting people that cannot rise of reasons out of their control. As such no one should suffer a destitute life due to severe disabilities. As long as they do as much as they can.

The irony is that equity is a complete violation of Title 7, which means it’s against the law to impose. It’s literally illegal.
If that's true, then it even makes the Republican side, complicit, because people like Mr. Vance, here, or someone like Jim Jordan, Rand Paul, or John Kennedy, very intelligent fellas, should have figured out what you have, and brought it to bear.
Maybe they have, and it's being stymied. Idk.

@@pamtnman1515 100%. I have noticed the change in society for over the past 20 years... Not only because of diversity and inclusion, but also because of the failure of our education system and bad parenting. We as a nation are becoming less and less proficient in the basic skills needed to survive and provide for ourselves. Everything from fast food workers and teachers, to corporate VPs, doctors, and politicians, I have seen a significant increase in incompetence in every aspect of my life. Our country isn't just filled with nonsense, it is filled with decaying intelligence, decaying morals, and decaying ethics.
People are less capable today of doing the basic jobs they have done for decades, EVEN THOUGH we have access to more information and easy training more so than any other time period. It makes absolutely no sense that this is the case unless the reason for it is oversaturation of information and coddling of lazy or weak-minded people. If you give people food for free, why would they ever bother to work for it? If you can work at a job with no fear of being fired, why would you ever improve yourself? If you are comfortable in your life and have no urgent needs, why would you ever strive for more?

The problem with equity is that no one asks what they're standing on and where it came from. The other problem is that some people just stand around waiting to be given a bigger box, and others believe they should steal it. This is why no one should ever be given a box, but build their own.
Agreed, inheritance should be banned and all children should be raised in communes.
Well the issue is with humans. It is extremely hard to point to something in the immediacy and say "that is wrong we need to take action to fix it now".
But instead, we see the results and think "is there something that caused these differing results?"
It would be like if you were a teacher and you gave a test with the answers written on the board. You noticed that everyone in the first 2 rows got every question correct. Most people in the middle rows got most questions correct, and only a few people in the back row got every question correct.
Initially it seems as if everyone had the same opportunity. But once the results come back you then start to think "why is this result the way it is?" And the you ask "how can we make it better".
There is always extraneous variables (in my example some of the student may not understand that those were the answers. Some may not care. Some may not be able to read etc), but to ignore the results and chaulk it up to "well the kids that failed just didn't apply themselves, or care enough" is disingenuous.
It also seems they are not looking to explain who is given that bigger box and based on what. Who decides who gets what box? The person that studies and/or works their arse off may be seen as having an advantage and given a smaller box, while lazy may be considered disadvantaged and given a bigger box. Or they try to give preference based on gender or skin colour? In that case we already know who gets a smaller box, even though they may have similar backgrounds, life, skills and motivation.
My take has always been, you give everyone the same box, but you leave it up to the charity of the individual to determine whether or not they need the box in the first place, and if they should give it to someone else. The problem is that unlike the height discrepancy analogy they love to use, you can't inherently see the disadvantages someone has in life, and to determine it from an outside perspective where you pick and choose which demographic needs more help than others is inherently flawed.
Take race for instance. You can look at two individuals (one white, one black) and claim the black person needs more help in life than the white person. The flaw in this is that you ignore the fact that that white person grew up in an impoverished household in the middle of West Virginia while the black person grew up in a rich suburb of Washington DC. If anything, that poor man from West Virginia needs more help than the rich man from DC.
Take wealth. Someone you may consider poor may actually not need money from a wealthier guy because maybe they live in an area that is cheap and doesn't require a lot of money to live off of or he simply doesn't care for money. Meanwhile, the wealthier guy may be living in an expensive city where he needs every nickel and dime to even afford rent and travel to his job. It would be wrong to steal money from the wealthier individual and give it to the poorer individual.
And these are just two examples of how grey this area is, and how you cannot use broad strokes to dictate who is worthy and who isn't. It is why equality is more important than equity. Equality ALLOWS the individual to determine whether or not they need something and give what they have to someone else, whether it be a box to watch a game, money they have in their bank account, or even knowledge they have obtained in life.

Equity MUST be addressed in primary and secondary education system to level the playing field. Are some public schools not providing the same level of quality education as other schools? Resolving this issue creates true equality and opportunity for everyone. Equity in college admissions or employment is NOT equal opportunity, it’s unfair to hire or promote someone less qualified for the sake of diversity. As mentioned, in certain occupations such as aviation and healthcare, it’s critical that the best qualified candidates are hired and promoted.

Equity is to provide equal access to opportunity, even if some assistance like ramps for handicapped people are needed. In schools equity is about helping kids with things like learning disabilities or language disabilities, or transportation to get the help that they need so that they have better access to education. Equality is about treating people equally in the work place or in school to protect against day to day discrimination.
Equity applies to everyone’s access, Equality is about how we treat each other. Both extend beyond just race. Bullying people for having red hair, or being a slow learner is also a violation of equality.

Finally! An honest man, actually come's back with a yes or no, unbelieveable.
I used to think "equity" always refers to "equality of outcome," but now I'm not so sure that's what people mean when they use that word. The dictionary definition of equity is "the quality of being fair and impartial," which is basically the complete opposite of what I used to think it was, and I don't know which definition people are using when they say "equity." If we use the dictionary definition of equity ("fair and impartial"), then this is basically no different from the definition of "equality" which refers to "equal opportunities."
All this to say that, before jumping down someone's throat just because they use the word "equity," ask them to define how they're using that word first. If someone uses the word to refer to "being fair and impartial," then there is no reason to criticize them for supporting it. If someone uses the word to refer to forced "equality of outcome," then criticize the hell out of them, because they're basically arguing for the elimination of peoples' rights to make different choices and experience the differential results of those choices themselves.
I think we can tell by their actions, and by experience of what these equity things have led to, and the results ARE discriminating and have lowered the standards across the board. It's safe to say that equity is not fair and impartial, but just the opposite. It's always used when it's about lifting people of perceived struggles at the expense of other groups. Like filling quotas, which is exactly what ESG is.
@@Zeetana1 It's certainly true that some people use the word "equity" to propose that things are made easier for some ethnicities and hard for others in order to ensure the percentage of each ethnicity in the workforce is proportional to the percentage of each ethnicity in the population. But what if someone who wants to know what "equity" means discovers that the dictionary definition is "fair and impartial," and then just starts using the word "equity" as a replacement for "fair?" That person is clearly not using the word "equity" the same way that a lot of far-leftists use it. It's not fair to assume a person with little involvement in politics who just happens to know the dictionary definition of equity is guilty of the same kind of discrimination caused by some of those on the far left.

That is a great point M Burns,and it is good that you are teaching your kids about hard work and earning what they have.

This. Something I was taught by my running coaches and trainers is that the most satisfying part of completing a race (5K, 10K, Half Marathon, Marathon, Ultra) is not the completion of the race, but the knowing that the journey you took to get to the finish line is what got you there in the first place. The race and the ultimate completion of said race is nothing more than a celebration of all the hard work you put in prior, and a possible stepping stone to the next mountain you want to try and climb.
And just like in life, there will be people who are simply better and faster at getting to the finish line than others. Some people can complete that 5K in 15 minutes. Some in 45. Some not at all. All that matters is that they all got to the starting line in the first place. How, when, and where they finish should be determined by the individual and those around them that want to help them get faster.

@@jameson2916 what aboutism
Equity means that everyone is ensured to get the same results. While that sounds nice, the problem is there are 2 ways to get there. One is to support those at the bottom so they can achieve the same results as everyone else. The other is to dissuade or prevent those at the top from performing at their best so that those at the bottom don't have as far to go. Its much easier to hold people back than to push them forward. The way that info graphics would actually be, is there would be no box under the shortest person and the other two would have their base platforms lowered.
You may be given equality, but equity must be earned
100%. love it.
exactly what I was thinking. Im all for what the actual pic shows, they all have to reach the same level, by lifting the shorter rather than cutting the legs off of the taller. Everyone meets the standards, some just need a boost to get there.
Right. What's to stop the government from just raising the wall up so no one can see? That is also an equal outcome.
Exactly this "equity" nonsense just means chopping everyone down to the lowest common denominator. So instead of everyone reaching the individual potential, everyone, bar one person, is deprecated to meet the lowest person. We will literally spend more time, and effort, deprecating everyone, instead of supporting everyone to reach what they can be.
As a species we will be literally only advancing as fast as a very slowest individual.
It would be like having a race with 8 billion people, and nobody is allowed to be faster than the slowest individual on the planet o.O
In reality, the only way to ensure equity is to reduce opportunity for the best performers. Because opportunity alone cannot ensure a poor performer reaches the same result as a top performer. For example, someone with an IQ of 50 could never do the maths required to be a rocket scientist, no matter how much you help them.
Equity is NOT EQUALITY. IT IS GROSSLY UNFAIR TO PUT EVERYONE ON SAME BASIS. NOT EVERYONE IS CAPABLE OF EVERYTHING.

As a person of color, there does come an inherent sense of pride from seeing people who look like us in certain positions such as airline or military pilot. As an Air Force brat myself, I often looked up to pilots. They were my rock stars. However, I would never in a million years advocate for relaxing standards in order to see someone like me in those positions.

Equity: The act of rewarding the person who puts forth the least amount of effort with the most amount of benefit.

More like providing more attention and assistance and education to the student who needs it.
Ex 2 people at a shooting range, 1 person hits the target 5 out of 6 to pass the course.

The other flaw is that you think everyone wants to hit the target. No amount of attention can fix that.
@@pogo1140 that's not equity. Equity states, regardless of how much you individually need help, we're going to assume based on your skin color/sex/sexual orientation that you need or don't need help.

They will pick a rich black kid to support over a poor white kid.
...and then taking that person's accomplishments and giving them to a black lesbian Marxist with negative societal value.
Guaranteeing a "level playing field" is one thing; participants can compete, as it were, in the same environment (America) and under the same rules (the U.S. Constitution and the rule of law) in hopes of garnering a similar reward. It is not a zero sum game. It is entirely improper, therefore, for government to interpret a level playing field as meaning that one's effort (let alone non-effort) is guaranteed to create an equity of outcome.

Very well put. Merit is different from opportunity. Opportunities can be addressed at a grass root level at the beginning stages of someone’s life (like education). Merit is strictly “who is the best person for the job”. Merit has no place for equity, only equality.

Here's how to explain "Get woke, go broke". Equity prioritises the selection process of physical characteristics (i.e. skin color, sex) to provide opportunities to those groups. If that is the priority, then it is no longer about whoever has the best ability to do a job, but who has the highest "privilege". Companies using this are focusing more on "who" is making the products, rather than the "quality" of those products. Thus, equity results in a degrading of those products and services, to the detriment of the customer. Customers will then go elesewhere for their products and services. Company goes broke in the process. Secondly, using a selection process of "physical characteristics" is racism. The woke activisits know this, but are trying to hide it by changing the name to "equity". Don't be fooled by it.

I know a guy who moved from Atlanta after getting laid off at the facility he worked for along with everyone else because they promoted a black dude to senior manager after being there for a month and screwing over the guys that been there for over 20 yrs who applied and the black dude did so much damage in like 2 months by either ordering waaaay too much shit or not enough and not knowing how or when to call in the semis and just made everything really late or canceled and it was just so much of a mess that they started laying off ppl but not the black dude out of fear of being called racist and then eventually they just had to shutdown that facility lmao that's what they fucking get.. Sucks for the hard working employees who were loyal and the ones who waited and worked their asses off for yrs to finally bid for that job all for it to be given to a guy who been there a month cause he was black smh sucks for them bit serves those higher up's right.. Hopefully they lost out too and just didn't get the same position and another job
meanwhile in china, im almost starting to wish our western countries get taken over by russia or china
TL;DR
Equity is anti-Whitism
Why does everyone pushing Equity not know the definition of Equity? Such as this candidate and Bernie Sanders recently on Bill Maher.
Equity is important. What a terrible choice of graphic. Equity is about raising the floor, not lowering the ceiling.
or providing a ceililng!
If equity is anything like affirmative action they will absolutely lower standards for groups of people to reach a quota. I remember in the early 90's white male's with MCAT scores of over 13 on each section (old point system) and GPA's of over 3.8 getting passed over by medical schools for black students with GPA's of less than 3.2 and MCAT scores they didn't care share. I spoke with students that were involved with admissions and they flat out told me I was the wrong color and sex and would be furious if I knew some of the MCAT scores of students they were letting in because the pressure to reach that quota was so high.
Equity is the death of rewarding hard work, drive, ethic and perseverance...
While simultaneously elevating the lazy, unethical, and entitled parasites in society...
That's it 💯
Then wonder why the person with integrity gets promoted and not them
Missing the whole point! Equity in opportunity. Not absolute equity. You sir are not the hardest working/most talented person in the area. Certainly not the brightest.
@@smoothf1 opportunity filled by equity based on race, sex choice or gender is not only racist sexist and heterophobic its also the removal of opportunity for those who earned it based on work ethic and education, which is what equality represents...
For someone named smooth one you sure aren't very slick...
@@thewatcher9539 Not the removal of opportunity, but a slight diminishing of opportunity, ie an investment of the future. Investment in the underprivileged expands the talent pool. There are those who can't succeed no matter talent or ethic due to the system, your narrow vision can't fathom that. Nevermind the absolute removal of opportunity of your forbearers. Not your direct responsibility perse but at least something your can acknowledge. Hence the crux of the matter. People like you undervalue the role of privilege in this matter. Continue to bask in the echo chamber of your belief. I won't respond unless you have something remarkable to say.
Well said 👏
I'm a #minority person here in #america! That makes me a #victor and not a #victim. I'm already ahead of the game because here, there is #equality for all!! #equity is a farce!
Why should the next person have the same wealth if they haven't worked as hard as I have?? 🤔
Equity means that no matter what you bring to the table, no matter how hard you work, no matter your successes, you will never be allowed to advance more than the person that brings nothing to the table, doesn't work any harder than necessary, or has no successes. Actually, you will be penalized and therefore discredited in order to keep you at the same level as the other person. Let that sink in.
As a former teacher, I can tell you lowering standards in the name of equity happens all the time
Where you thinking trump when you wrote that ? LOL.
@@rayRay-pw6gz Probably thinking of Obummer. Whom I believe his whole life is based on lowering standards for him because he wasnt smart enough.
And that is just wrong….for everyone concerned.
It's Standard Procedure today.
You do realize that Trump: sent aid to Flint in order to help fix the polluted water supply; instituted a program to reform non-violent criminal offenders; de-escalated a nuclear war and negotiated the first SUCCESSFUL peace treaty with North Korea in 70 years; apparently signed an executive order that made it illegal for insurance companies to hide their rates until AFTER you had signed on with the company; look up "trump accomplishments" on a search engine that isn't google or bing. I'd post the link and explain that anything which states "signed" without having "executive order" after it should be ignored in the interest of fairness as a lot of policies are not his alone, but the reason I do not is that youtube has a bad habit of shadow-erasing comments with links so sources they don't want shown
JD. Glad God put you where you are. 😊
He is so well spoken!
Vance is using words that guy can't understand.
There is no such thing as equality (including equality of opportunity)...period.
Any attempt by the government to change this basic fact only makes the situation worse.
Vance is "talking white" and the ol dumb muniguh can't understand that.
@@SebineLifeWind they want what others have without the ability or work to get it.
Equity = envy
Das Raycissstt
@@dm6187 so is extorting resources from someone else based upon race or gender.
Completely agree. You only have look at South Africa to realise how dangerous the ideology of Equity really is. Dumbing down standards ruins outcomes.
YEP! dumbing down standards makes for a lousy out come, just like our educational system in our country
@@ricknelson5493 Pretty much all departments here are defunct.
Spot on... In the years of EE or AA... Everything has started it's trip down the drain.... NOTHING that this policy has governed has flourished
You don't even have to look to South Africa.
Just look at your local public shool district.
Yep my wife is SA, it has totally ruined her country and whole heartedly believes she sees that is what’s happening here in the USA. First they tore down the statues in SA then they changed the street names… kinda sounds familiar
The guy said it plainly. The boxes represent "opportunity" making we should give more opportunity to some people than others
IF THIS DUDE BECOMES HEAD OF THE FAA STOP FLY PEOPLE YOUR LIFE IS MORE IMPORTANT !!!!!
