This provides me a sensible chuckle because even under communism, human nature takes over.
Xi and the Uighurs have different lifestyles in communist China. Equity only exists in a fictitious utopia. Hell, even on Star Trek they had a Captain. How come everyone wasn’t the captain?

I’ll make a deal with you. I’ll answer 3 of your questions honestly and completely if you do the same
1. How will you explain to a white/asian/etc kid with similar economic “equity” as a black kid why he is not receiving the benefits that the black kid is?
2. By what measure will we know that equity has been achieved?
3. If theoretically one day, by this measure you describe, black people have more equity than white people do we reverse the policies to discriminate against black people?

That midget has to realize his position, and he knows how high the fence, he might have to be more crafty, but that's the game.
P.S. I do wish they come out with another show as good as GOT now.... Biden admin is boring AF.

Equity is a very deceiving word in this context, as it has many different meanings, in common usage and in law. Modern day liberals have bastardized this word and very diliberately chosen it because it sounds like "equality" but that is far from what they mean when they say it on CNN or Biden's twitter.

Equity is part of the unholy Trinity of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Diversity is defined not by opinion, but by race, ethnicity or sexual identity; equity is no longer the laudable goal of equality of opportunity, but the insistence on equality of outcome; and inclusion is the use of identity-based quotas to attain this misconceived state of equity

This picture would be more accurate if they started before the three people got to the fence.
Show all three walking up to the boxes, the shorter two walking past the boxes and the tallest picking up all three boxes. "equality"
Now go to your picture and the boxes are stolen from the tallest person that put in the effort to bring the boxes and given to the two shorter people. "equity"

Let's think of an example that works, imagine a bunch of rich elite liberals in Baton Rouge, and a few good upstanding country farm boys in the little settlement of Ethel. Let's say 90% of the disgusting Baton Rouge liberals can afford to get their kids a Bible, and only 25% of the poor farmers in Ethel can do the same. Baton Rouge's population is 224,149, so 22,414 kids go Godless. Ethel's population is 3,584, so 2,688 kids go Godless.
A generation later, and all the kids in Ethel are little Satanists! The 10% of kids in Baton Rouge who didn't have Bibles still had friends who did, and they steered them back to the light. The kids in Ethel weren't as lucky, because more than half of them had no such holy scripture.
The local parish steps in, and they can only afford 10,000 Bibles, so they send 8,930 (89.3%) Bibles to Baton Rouge, and 1,070 (10.7%) of the Bibles to Ethel. After all, it's by the numbers!
But now, an Ethel family says. Those damn liberals in Baton Rouge! Why did they get all the Bibles? We have it worse here! They ought to send us even more Bibles, because our kids are the ones deep in the Stank of Satan!
It's more than equity in the moment, it's the fact that most black people's grandparents or parents lived in radically different times than white people's did, and that has absolutely ruined their current place by no fault of their own.
This is hands down without a down the absolute worst take and hypothetical I have ever read on this topic in my life. It’s not worth discussing much less responding to. Good luck in life. You’re gonna need it.
Please keep in mind that in every single communist revolution in history the true believers and the first wave of leaders and agitators were also the most brutally executed and the first ones sent to camps with their life’s asserts seized.

Disagreeing with this stuff is just the same old "I got mine, forget everyone else" mentality
The government can never and will never fix this problem. Ever. Faith in government is literally the height of human ignorance. Capitalism and a limited government for the common defense has done more to lift people out of poverty and bring equality to communities than any other system in human history and for some reason you keep screaming it’s evil. And your response is to destroy that system and install an iron fist oligarchy. That system of government will cause extreme poverty, death, and inequality as it always has throughout history.
Why are all the communist leaders rich? What’s stopping every single proponent of these programs from donating their own money ?
Zuckerburg, Buffett, Biden, Clinton’s, plenty of billionaires all saying we have to get the government to take money and opportunities from someone else. You don’t see them giving up their own money and opportunities do you?
