Saida Grundy is an African-American Boston University professor who was sending out tweets against white men. She tweeted that she avoids shopping at white-owned businesses and that white men are a problem. "White masculinity is THE problem for America's problem," she said. There was, of course, a response of outrage, but the site launched for complaining had 200 signatures while the site that supported her had 2,000. The university said it was unfortunate, but they believed in free speech and she was just exercising her rights.
Nancy Gordeuk is the (white) founder of TNT Academy and served as the principal. At the graduation ceremony, she accidentally dismissed the crowd before the valedictorian spoke. She tried to call them back, but when they didn't respond quickly enough, she said, "You people are being so rude to not listen to this speech. It was my fault that we missed it in the program. Look who’s leaving! All the black people!" Nancy was fired for her "rude", "disparaging", racist remarks.
I'm trying to figure out the difference. "Racism equity" exists--there is racism all over the place--but "racism equity" in terms of the response to racism doesn't exist.

I have observed that only minorities are allowed to be racist, apparently for all the evils the white man has brought down upon them. Apparently we need to just take our licking and apologize.
If you look around, you'll find LOTS of claims that only whites can be racist. It's defined by "who's in power" in their version. If you're not in power, you can hate other races to your heart's content and it's not "racism". Another problem of a devolving term.
