Six weeks into the Biden administration and there still has been no solo press conference from the president. That is the longest stretch of silence from any new president in at least a century. By refusing to speak directly to the media, Joe Biden is attacking our most cherished democratic norms. Even CNN is complaining about it.
We would echo those complaints if we really cared, but we’re happy to listen to Joe Biden’s flacks and mouthpieces explain why he bombed Syria, why he blocked the passage of a $15 minimum wage, and why Dr. Seuss is racist.
In their spare time, Joe Biden’s scribes produce an awful lot of presidential proclamations. One of his very first proclamation was entitled “An Executive Order on Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government.“
This was the document that introduced the administration’s new equity plan, which is going to “eliminate systemic barriers to opportunities and benefits for people of color and other underserved groups.” It’s quite a mouthful, but what does it mean? Has anyone asked what it means or did everyone in Washington graduate from Yale and thus intuitively understands sloppy, meaningless words like this?

The rest of us might still like to know what a “systemic” barrier is and how Joe Biden plans to eliminate it. That’s easy, with equity, of course. But that raises a whole new question: What exactly is equity and how is it different from equality, the central principle this country was founded on?
Well, the first thing to know about equality is that it’s designed to challenge power. Equity, by contrast, is designed to protect power. Equity is what the British monarchy had. Equality is what the American colonists wanted. Equality is what allowed Andrew Jackson to rise from a childhood of bitter poverty in the Carolina woods and make it all the way to the White House. Andrew Jackson was tough, smart and energetic. He lived a remarkable life, and America rewarded him for it. That’s equality.
Equity is the opposite. Equity is what allowed Kamala Harris, the privileged child of two PhDs, to stay privileged and become one of the most powerful people on the planet, despite having achieved nothing impressive or worthwhile over the span of 56 years.
So Andrew Jackson and Kamala Harris — both Democrats, one the child of equality, the other the child of equity. That’s the difference in a nutshell.
