Supreme Court Decisions Expected Today

I don't think equity really means everyone gets the same deal. It just means that government decides what you get instead of society.

Equity means society helps those who need it most.

Equity means society helps those who need it most.

No, it means government helps people. Maybe they need it most. Maybe they just have good lobbyists.

Good point

Who has better lobbyists?
The working poor or the extremely wealthy?

Congress chose its words carefully, opting for expansive language that focused on equal protection and rejecting “proposals that would have made the Constitution explicitly color-blind.” A. Kull, The Color-Blind Constitution 69 (1992); see also, e.g., Cong. Globe 1287 (rejecting proposed language providing that “no State . . . shall . . . recognize any distinction between citizens . . . on account of race or color”). This choice makes it clear that the Fourteenth Amendment does not impose a blanket ban on race-conscious policies.

Simultaneously with the passage of the Fourteenth Amendment, Congress enacted a number of race-conscious laws to fulfill the Amendment’s promise of equality, leav- ing no doubt that the Equal Protection Clause permits consideration of race to achieve its goal.
Meaning, in no uncertain terms, the premise of the majority's opinion in the AA case is a 100% incorrect read of the 14 A.

You obviously can't read plain English

Scream at the sky with all of the ignorant vigor you like, the SCOTUS has spoken. You are WRONG.
