I’m assuming this is a racial discrimination issue. Unfortunately I can’t read the article. I don’t know where I stand on this, on the one hand I understand the historical disparity and the need to support the black community, on the other hand I want literally everything to be truly equal which I’m aware will never happen.
The difficulty is that the only way to achieve equal status is through equitable treatment. But some people don’t want equitable treatment, oftentimes because they don’t want equal status.
And this is really the legal issue at hand. Is equitable treatment allowed, where we consider things like centuries of oppression against women and BIPOCs. If we can consider that, a grant meant to spur women and minority-owned businesses makes sense. If we move to a rare blind system, that does not make sense.
