I'm sure most people have seen the cartoon meant to illustrate the similarity/difference between equality and equity. It seems to get people worked up. Now, I don't want anyone to lose their shit over this, but I recently saw another version of this cartoon, and I thought I'd share it. I'm sure it can be discussed without falling back into the usual hate-fest and/or racist diatribe, so here goes:

The problem comes from assuming there is only one definition for these words. Equality for some means that everybody gets the same lunch. Equality for others means that everybody gets the lunch they like or need. And equality for others means that everybody has the ability to acquire lunch. And others equality means that everybody has the right to make the most of their talent, ability, aptitude or whatever toward the goal of buying a lunch.

Then you get into the issue of equity and all the arguments of whether that can be achieved when contribution or participation by others is required to achieve it or whether standards of achievement are lowered in order to give the illusion of equity.

Taking away the fence is not liberating. It is dumb as it forces change in a fundamental characteristic of the game of baseball enjoyed by millions to benefit a very few (entitlement). And it eliminates the ability to raise revenue by those who sell tickets to make the game possible.

Everybody wearing the same shirt is not inclusion but is rather identifying and that can frequently be divisive.

AI Overview


The image illustrates the concepts of equality, equity, liberation, and inclusion using the analogy of people of different heights trying to watch a baseball game over a fence.

• Equality provides everyone with the same support, regardless of their individual needs, which may not lead to equal outcomes.
• Equity provides each person with the specific support they need to have an equal opportunity to succeed.
• Liberation removes the systemic barrier (the fence) so that support is no longer needed.
• Inclusion is represented by a new, lower fence that allows everyone to watch the game together without any barriers or special support.

Bingo. And that's all there is to it. Well, except the last bit. There's no "lower fence" and they are uniformed with gloves like fielders, so now somehow "included" in the game.

Great meme

Democrats can't meme because they are consumed by evil. Those who deny their creator lose the ability to create. They can only copy and mimic.

If democrats claw their way back to power you may find yourself in prison for posting this thread.

Democrats literally locked a guy up for a meme, text 34545 to vote for Hillary.

If democrats return to power they will pour over the social media post of Americans looking for thought crimes to prosecute them for.

An American voting for democrats is like a chicken voting for KFC. Literally...

Democrats = traitors

Thanks for 8 Years of Obamination, Bushbots

If every single thing the Bushes stood for isn't erased from the GOPers' platform, the Democrats certainly will make a comeback.
