Liberty requires equality, but equity is an anathema to Liberty.

They had it reversed, it was Obama and Biden imposing an ideology (DEI) in more or less of an extra-legal framework.

The constitution has as one of its major pillars the statement that all are created equal. Granted, at the time this was written, blacks and women (and native Americans) were not considered equal. But at no time would the constitution ever have stated, some are more equal than others. That was the foundation of DEI, not only are various groups equal, but they were to be treated as superior to equal. One could argue this to be the mirror image of the original constitution which did not extend equality to all Americans at that time. But it is a perverted intent to create justice with injustice. Justice was served when various groups caught up to the full equality of white men granted in the original document. It can be noted that the process was largely complete by 1920. There has been some further refinement but for all intents and purposes, all citizens and legal residents of the U.S. have been equal for all of their present natural lives. What they make of that equality is their personal choice.
