What Joe Biden* Means by ‘Equity’
Quote:President Joe Biden has used the word “equity” frequently in his statements and executive orders.
The dictionary defines “equity” as “the quality of being fair or impartial.” The word also means “ownership”: stocks are “equities,” for example.
However, Biden uses “equity” to mean something far more radical.
Biden defined the term “equity” on his first day in office, in the “Executive Order On Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government”:
The term “equity” means the consistent and systematic fair, just, and impartial treatment of all individuals, including individuals who belong to underserved communities that have been denied such treatment, such as Black, Latino, and Indigenous and Native American persons, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and other persons of color; members of religious minorities; lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) persons; persons with disabilities; persons who live in rural areas; and persons otherwise adversely affected by persistent poverty or inequality.
The definition is inherently contradictory. On the one hand, equity promises “impartial treatment.” On the other, equity is aimed at specific groups of people, and not others.
The word “impartial” suggests that “equity” is similar to the word “equality.” Equality before the law is a fundamental principle of our legal system. The Judeo-Christian ideal is that the law should be “no respecter of persons” — that is, it remains the same regardless of identity or status.
However, as noted above, Biden’s definition of “equity” specifically recognizes identity and status. The words “fair” and “just” also hint at the goal “social justice” — that is, at equality of outcomes.
“Equity” therefore does not mean treating all individuals the same. It means that the government will treat individuals differently, so that all groups might be brought to the same level, especially in terms of material wealth.

To a democrat, equity means taking money out of my pocket and putting it in someone else’s.

RE: What Joe Biden* Means by ‘Equity’
"Equity" is another way the media and this administration uses words to make abhorrent policies palatable, much like they prefer "women's healthcare and abortion" rather than "murdering an unborn child" or "undocumented citizen" rather than "illegal alien."
"Equity" is simply code word by the liberals for state sponsored racial and/or sexual discrimination.
