Kamala Harris admits that ‘equity’ is indeed communism.

[EvilCat Breath]

You have it completely wrong

Equity means you help those who need help
All societies do it

In 1961 Kurt Vonnegut wrote Harrison Bergeron. Taking place in 2081 it was a society of enforced equity. Ballerinas who could dance beautifully were required to tie bricks to their feet so they would be no better than the worst among them. People of intelligence must wear a helmet that zapped their brains with an electrical jolt so they would never achieve more than the most handicapped. You should read it sometime.

The thing is no one is equal in life and those like you want to use someone's skin color to claim they need more in life!

 

[francoHFW]

She admits that equity is all about making everyone the same.

well she didn't make any sense lol...

This is a good example of the Virginia school district that withheld from the best and brightest the news that they had achieved Merit awards. They could have used that award in college applications or scholarship awards. Their educational legs were cut off in the name of equity with those who simply were socially graduated.

The Americans with Disabilities Act is a great example of Equity

You provide special facilities for those who need it.
You don’t just provide the same facilities for all and say it is fair

So do black people have a “disability“?

Nope. Kamala just said it means everyone gets an equal outcome.

That means everyone should be poor. You globalists want to destroy the middle class and return everyone to serfdom.

 

[luiza]

This is incorrect. Equality means that everyone has an equal opportunity to get as many boxes as they need. With equity someone would be taking ALL the boxes and distributing them to each according to his need. That's communism.

Not really -- nobody practises that outdated idea anymore.

It is more accurately now seen as Stupidity.

As remarked earlier Equity refers to fairness and impartiality , not some bastardised and made-up American version of the term .

No she said nothing of the kind
More misrepresenting from conservatives

She is merely saying you provide more for those who need more help

Simple concept

 

[rightwinger]

Lets use schools as an example
The equal outcome is graduating High School

Some students have learning disabilities that make it difficult in a “one size fits all” environment.
Schools provide extra help to allow students with learning disabilities to succeed

Equity of outcomes for the masses. It’s bullshit when she says “we” all end up in the the place. What she really means is “you” (the masses) end up in the same place. “She” is part of a true, locked-in 1 percent that will enjoy a far better outcome than “we” ( the masses). This is what you see and hear in socialist and communist forms of government.

Americans don’t want equitable outcomes. They want constant economic opportunity to be protected. In order for Harris’s vision of equitable outcome to be achieved, it means someone’s wealth needs to be taken from them and redistributed (yet somehow her wealth will be untouched and in fact, she will get wealthier.)

I have no problem providing more for those who need help. Harris is saying the outcome is “everyone ends up in the same place”. That’s an outcome-based statement. How is that measured? What if people still have bigger homes, more homes, or nicer cars than others yet we have helped people to the point they can live in a home with ac/heat, food on the table, premium TV and internet, healthcare, and subsidized transportation? This is is where we are at now yet it clearly is not meeting Harris’ equitable outcome vision.

We are already doing that and have been for years…… obviously not to Harris’ vision. What does that look like and how is that measured?

 

[22lcidw]

Not at all
Equality means everyone gets the same, regardless of need

Equity means you provide more to those who need more

Think of someone with a learning disability getting more help at school or someone in a wheelchair getting special facilities

Hillary spouted...."Each according to ability, each according to need". Except some are exempted from that as she knows.

in other words, the idea of a meritocracy was squashed via 'enforced equity' , a discrimination in of itself

This illustration is a 1/2 truth but does fool feeble minded folks. It insinuates that those with advantages didn’t do anything to gain those advantages(just being older and taller) and those with disadvantages(just being younger and shorter) didn’t do anything to perpetute their disadvantages. This is far from the truth in the US with only few exceptions. Also, if my neighbor was born into an ultra-wealthy family with some advantages over me, that doesn’t prevent me from being successful also. Taking his money(represented by boxes in this illustration) and bringing him down to my level is not the answer.

Doesn’t matter

Those with advantages don’t need additional help do they?

Harris is defending providing help to those who need help

A concept that enrages Conservatives

You are again misrepresenting what she is saying

She is not saying everyone in society gets the same house, same car, same wealth.

She is talking about the help people receive from society.
Equality says everyone gets the same from society regardless of need.

She is advocating need based assistance

 

[LeftofLeft]

No. She is going beyond arguing for helping others who need it. We are already doing that and no one is against that. You clearly are not listening to her words or you are listening and know damn well she is promoting equitable economic outcomes which are impossible to achieve AND they require redistribution of income towards that objective.

The reality is you can’t sustain her argument so you shift it to “this is only about helping people and conservatives don’t lie to help people”.

How often does Harris use the word ‘help’ in the video vs how many times she uses the word ‘equity’?
