Define equity. If you mean providing help to those who need it, probably not. But if you are assuming that a person is in need of someones help just because of their skin color that seems kind of pandering to me. Racisim of low expectations.. "they are just simple folk that can't make it on their own so they need help from us." It completely negates personal responsibility, and all the strides made by others.

Same reason a woman can't rape a man I guess. They have an innie not an outtie.

@Existence is identity its an old Sarkisian video. She literally said batman arkam was sexist because it uses the value to cover his butt strategically, while every other game with a girl shows off their ass.

She doesn't play games so she doesn't know anything about gaming

@FunnyStarRunner That's easy to explain. I've talked to my in-laws a lot, and they are upper middle class parents with two kids, and a nice house in Seattle. They are lovely people, and I really care for them, but they have this funny idea that anyone can do anything if they just put their mind to it, and it doesn't matter where you come from. They don't know the reality of being poor, the fact that there are less options, less opportunity, and the whole idea that someone would be stuck in that situation because there is no way out is just anethma to them. I made it out because I had friends willing to help me. Others aren't so lucky. They said you have to do what you have to do even if it's uncomfortable and don't understand that that kind of decision when you have nothing can lead you to sleeping on the streets, and possibly being stuck there. They have no consept of any of it becaue they only know the people around them that have managed to pull themselves out of it and make something of their lives. It's been interesting having conversations with them about these things, especially since I was homeless, I did get a divorce and was a single parent household for a long time, and I did work my butt off to get out of poverty.... but none of it would have been possibel without help from people who believed in me. Not everyone has that help.

Really, it's a difference in mindset. People think differently in the country then they do in the city. Different experiences, different states of being.

@CasualSailor I agree with you (and JP) but there isn't much insentive for businesses to go into those inner city areas and build jobs if theyare being burned down by protesters, robbed, or denied entry because someone new big shot in congress doesn't know how math works. Ecomics have so many parts, and even the experts don't know exactly what causes everything everywhere, but one thing is for sure.... if people won't fight for their own well being then others won't either .
