> People should be given equal opportunity to succeed
That is the old dogma. Today progressives insist on giving certain classes of people more opportunity than others.
That is why "equality" has been replaced by "equity" in progressive propaganda.
- vineyardmike 5y agoThe important point of all this really was the vast american history of racism, not comparing dogma or "propoganda" to what i think about treatment of others. Also, FWIW you're wrong. Progressives are not about giving more opportunity, they're just ensuring that opportunity is received by the people who historically did not have opportunity. --- --- --- America has a vast history of racism that is providing people with neither equal nor equitable opportunity. That is the thing to remember. America has a vast history of racism that is providing people with neither equal nor equitable opportunity.
- q1w2 5y agoGiving disproportionate advantage to minorities because minorities of the past several hundred years had disadvantage is not justice or even logical. It's just racism. I don't ask for anything special despite my ancestors being treated like crap. My ancestors were discriminated against, yet now my children are seen as benefactors of a "history of racism" despite our ancestors being literally subject to that racism. It's a farce, and a thinly veiled excuse for modern racism. ...and it's very telling that progressives have abandoned the notion of equality.
