Racial Equity is Not Racial Equality

Let no one be misled

The World Herald consistently displays their inability to distinguish the meaning of words. Correlation is not causation which they confuse in covering science. Platforms are not publishers which they confuse when social media companies censor people. If the Herald used a thesaurus, they would know these words are not synonyms, that is not the same.

The whole point of a university education is to know these things as distinctively different things. But, UNL puts out a statement about “racial equity” and the World Herald comes to their defense. The Herald does not know the difference between “equity” and “equality”. Racial equality is about making certain no one is obstructed because of their race. Racial equity is about parceling out results in according to race which is racism. Segregation, the doctrine of separate but equal, was a form of racial equity. The Civil Rights movement rightly rejected it.

When you have the Woke racial agitators, who take every racial disparity as proof of racism, racial equity becomes a battering ram against individual rights. Affirmative action tried to blend equity and equality and it backfired, for both Black and White and heavily against Asians. Whites grew resentful and Blacks were put in situations where the challenges were overbearing. Hollywood movies played the racial equity game and the result has been a racist disaster yet seldom commented about. Black actors would be hired but the characters they portrayed would be killed off after a mere few lines. Thankfully, someone figured out how to put Black Panther on the screen. Yet, organizations like the Salvation Army have gone Woke.

I suspect people are confusing "racial equity" which amounts to racial reparations, with "racial parity" where exclusion of race is wrong. For example, Nebraska Unicameral districts were designed to make certain a Black majority district existed to make certain Black people have representation in Government. At the same time "at large" elections were replaced with district elections across the state. Everyone benefited as every racial group had to cooperate and come to understand each other and make more representative laws. 

However, there are limitations. There will always be some level of racism. You cannot eradicate it because people can be very ignorant and provincial. The question becomes: is the racism an insurmountable obstacle? Today, the vast majority of racism is relatively easy to defeat by speaking up and communicating. Daryl Davis has proven this by having KKK members leave the Klan. In addition, the laws mentioning race do not adjust to changing cultures and demographics. Many Omaha residents would be shocked to discover, the majority of Omaha Black residents do not live in the Black majority Legislative District 11 of which Ernie Chambers dominated for decades. Also, Blacks are no longer the largest minority in Omaha; Hispanics are. Blacks have moved up, moved out, and moved on or at least most of them have.

What remains to be done is to improve the educational opportunities for all children, regardless of race. This can be done by having educational scholarships or school vouchers which follow the student, yet the teachers' unions and educational unions keep on objecting. These unions should be accused of racism and white supremacy because the students who would benefit most from school choice are minority students, and particularly children of poor families. School choice supports racial equality and parity without giving handouts to specific racial groups as equity did under segregation.

So here is a link to the real result of racial equity.
