When we talk about equality, we often focus on the ideal—a world where everyone is treated the same. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: entire generations have already been harmed by inequality.
So the question becomes: Are we willing to address the harms and damages caused by systemic inequality so that everyone truly stands on equal ground? Or are we simply asking those harmed to “move on,” ignore the damage, and trust that the same systems won’t harm them again—even as history shows they will?
True equality requires more than promises. It requires repair, accountability, and a willingness to confront uncomfortable truths.
👉 I unpack this more in my book, Black Gen X in the Middle, where I explore how my generation lived with these unaddressed harms and found our voice in spite of them.
