Tax records on wealthiest Americans released

I have 4 kids and I’m going to test them for their ability to manage money.

One black
One Latino
One Asian
And one white

I have $400 and the test is to come back in a month to see how much they have. High kid wins.

What does equality demand I give each of them?

What does equity require I give each of them?

This was your last scenario.

Instead of summarizing multiple posts I’ll address it again.

We agree on equality. Each gets $100 dollars. They all start at the same time and they all have the same amount of time (30 days) to manage the money.

In this scenario there is no need for equity because everybody is STARTING with the SAME RULES.

So your second question is only necessary if you held the black kid back and then gave him $100 on the 20th day and then let him start the competition.

Get it now @Samm

I did follow it. It was made up.

His entire scenario was made up

Yes … I get it … You are ignoring his scenario and trying to replace it with yours and then saying he is wrong.

Uh … That’s what a scenario is. The point is, it was his scenario which is not yours to change.

[PurpnGold]

@Samm

Yes … I get it … You are ignoring his scenario and trying to replace it with yours and then saying he is wrong.

What part did I change? I addressed both questions.

That was my only scenario.

You wrote a fairy tale.

Nope I addressed both questions.

Here it is again

Were you held back?

Now you are switching from a made up scenario to real life.

Was your made up scenario analogous to the real world?

Am I? My four kids are younger than you. More time with the Promise fulfilled. More affirmative action for one of them.

What part of his scenario did I change. I addressed both parts.

Equality was his first question… I said all get the same rules.

Equity was his second question and I said unnecessary if equality is addressed from the start.

@PurpnGold

Equity was his second question and I said unnecessary if equality is addressed from the start.

What is the purpose of the equity? How do we measure how much equity to give?

[WuWei]

Are the starts equal in real life now?

[PurpnGold]

@WuWei

What is the purpose of the equity?

Using your scenario it is used to put the black kid where he may have been, if not for being held back.

@WuWei

How do we measure how much equity to give?

This is the tricky part but we can use data to make some educated assumptions. That’s the problem with race based oppression. You remove individuality

[PurpnGold]

@WuWei

Are the starts equal in real life now?

Under the law, yes. But using your scenario. We were just allowed to start the competition after CRA. Equity says “well how do we get them where they may have been without being held back by law”?

At the finish line?

@PurpnGold

This is the tricky part but we can use data to make some educated assumptions.

Like what in my scenario? Or in real life.

Do you believe that if black people had not been slaves or suffered Jim Crow, the black poverty rate would be 7% instead of 18%? Like that?

If so, what makes you believe that?

So the starts have been equal since 1965?
