equity !== equality
Equity means striving for an impossible, ever moving goalpost that will lead to oppression of many over time.
Equality of opportunity may not overcome the starting point, but doesn't seek to raise some and oppress others for actions that they didn't create.
Nobody should have to suffer, apologize or have their actions dismissed because of how they were born. We are all raised in different environments and all have to make our own decisions in life.
Our best option is to spread knowledge and points of ethical example.
People should read both MLK and Malcom-X and consider them before trying to raise a PoV about status quo vs change that may actually be worse for everyone. I'm not entirely in favor of the status quo, but that doesn't mean that changes proposed have any more value in terms of improving society as a whole.
