Equitable - Characterized by fairness; just, honest, and free from bias.
Whereas equality means providing the same to all, equity means recognizing that we do not all start from the same place and must acknowledge and make adjustments to imbalances. The process is ongoing, requiring us to identify and overcome intentional and unintentional barriers arising from bias or systemic structures.

Equality has nothing to do with Equity.

Even though you and I maybe equal in all aspects, there may not be equity between us depending on our race, religion, job, education, etc.
In one case we are completely equal in all ways (equality).
In the other case one may need reparations to be made to feel equal (equity).

More rhetoric and propaganda?
I don't take moral advice from government creeps who cheer and advocate for the locking up of people, removal of them from jobs and schools and financial ruin for those won't take a government shot.
Thanks for your service though.

A society that puts equality—in the sense of equality of outcome—ahead of freedom will end up with neither equality nor freedom. The use of force to achieve equality will destroy freedom, and the force, introduced for good purposes, will end up in the hands of people who use it to promote their own interests. Thomas Sowell
