“there’s a big difference between equality and equity. Equality suggests often everybody should get the same thing. Well, that often assumes everybody started out in the same place; as opposed to equity, which is everyone should end up in the same place. And if you then understand not everybody started out in the same place, you understand that some people need more, so we all end up in the same place, right?”
I think they are secretly using the term equity to describe their slaves as labor, collateral, and assets.
Equity:
2a: the money value of a property or of an interest in a property in excess of claims or liens against it
b: the common stock of a corporation
c: a risk interest or ownership right in property
d: a right, claim, or interest existing or valid in equity
