“According to the latest data from the Pew Research Center, black Americans represented about 12 percent of the U.S. population in 2020, yet made up 33 percent of those incarcerated in U.S. prisons. “Equality” in this instance would demand that at least 27 percent of those prisoners be released.”

Is that equity math?

Yeah, I saw that as well. What he seemingly meant is that 27% of all prisoners should then be released, and 100% of those should be black.
