Comment Re:Confusing Equity and Equality (Score 1, Informative) 129

That's the opposite of equity, which attempts to provide equal outcomes instead of equal opportunity.

Merriam Webster defines equity as:

fairness or justice in the way people are treated
often, specifically : freedom from disparities in the way people of different races, genders, etc. are treated

The Oxford Review expands on that and defines it as follows:

Equity refers to the principle of fairness, justice, and impartiality. Unlike equality, which emphasises treating everyone the same, equity recognises that people have different needs and challenges. Therefore, it involves providing resources and opportunities in ways that level the playing field for all individuals, especially those from historically disadvantaged or underrepresented groups. The goal of equity is to ensure that all individuals have the necessary tools and support to succeed, based on their unique circumstances and needs.

DEI is systematic racism that blindly promotes minorities at the expense of white people, especially straight, white men.

Sure, 'cause white men have historically had such a tough time finding employment and advancement over people who aren't. /s DEI initiatives are an attempt, probably flawed, to ensure people aren't hired over others just because they're white men - which definitely happens. The words behind the acronym - Diversity, Equity and Inclusion - are actually good things that can, and often do, provide benefits in the work place, unless, of course, your products and services are only for white men. There's an argument for being able to do what one wants with their own company, which gets murkier when it's publicly traded or government funded, but discrimination is discrimination, which can go both ways. Some people are okay with discrimination when it goes in their favor, which is what we're seeing in the DEI backlash.

Huh. I thought these guys were all about States Rights.

Well ... Blanche assures anti-abortion supporters that Dobbs will be ‘permanent in every single state’

Blanche lamented that the Trump administration’s efforts to restrict abortion are “taking longer than we want” but said the Justice Department was “working hand in hand” with federal health agencies and the White House “so that the Dobbs decision becomes permanent in every single state.”

“We don’t have complete victory yet, but we will have victory, and victory will be soon, and and and it will be permanent,” Blanche vowed.
