"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. "
--- M.L. King, Aug. 28, 1963

Equality versus "equity".
Political equity is money (or treasure) spent for political influence. When the Democratic Party talks about promoting political equity, they are talking about government being used to buy influence. Implicitly, government can be bought the same way. The Party reasons that government should be able to control people or classes of people with money or goods that authoritarian government has under control.
This is diametrically opposed to the actual principles of democracy.
Freedom works when the people are free of government or class control. Society works when the people are fair with each other. By establishing an authoritarian system of elites ruling over the people, government control would screw both of these.
