When Florida was hit with severe storms and Hurricane Ian in 2022, Vice President Kamala Harris demanded that “communities of color” must be first in line for aid and that assistance should be prioritized “in a way that is about giving resources based on equity.”
She has repeatedly made similar claims, differentiating “equity” from equality, stating that “not everyone starts in the same place.”
Of course, equality, meaning providing fair opportunity for all, is a laudable and very American ideal. But “equity,” meaning enforcing the same outcomes regardless of abilities or work ethic, is a deeply un-American notion. In fact, equity is quite literally Marxist — and has led to misery everywhere in history it becomes a driving societal construct.
As part of Harris’ overall “equity” radicalism, she has also stated repeatedly that she favors race-based reparations for slavery in America and discrimination of decades past. Harris even co-sponsored legislation in the Senate to create a reparations study commission.
But new polling from Michigan reveals just how soundly Americans reject this radical and discriminatory idea. Punishing people for crimes they did not commit, in many cases historical wrongs that occurred long before they were even born, represents a cruel injustice.
In that key battleground state, only 28% of likely voters support reparations, while 60% oppose them with 12% unsure.
